May I suggest Wheat Worms?

Played (early access) Breathedge 2. Not too impressed so far but things might change - EA after all. At the moment, it's a string of resource gathering targets, supposedly clocking in at 10hrs of content. Even my slow-progress, leave-paused-in-menu ass finished it in just over 9hrs.😒 #breathedge2

A friend on Steam just bought Spore (the 2008 Will Wright 'classic'?) and it struck me how much the mid-game screenshots look like proto-No Man's Sky.😜

Dan Stevens cast as Alex Murphy in a Robocop TV series? Yes, please.💯🎉 Big fan of his portrayal of the utterly damaged David Haller in Legion, so I'm keen to see where this one goes.

This is fantastic news! A show I don't like involving a bloke I can't stand! Two things I can do well without, in one place!😀 Any chance we can add more things I hate? Stubbing your toe on the leg of coffee table? A leaky roof? Idiots overcompensating with loud, angry vehicles? Oh, wait...

JIMMY CARR TO FRONT TOP GEAR REBOOT ON BBC

Following previous reports earlier this year that the BBC were eyeing up a reboot of Top Gear, The Sun newspaper now reports that comedian Jimmy Carr is set to be the lead presenter.A source told The ...

Playing the early access game #Sandustry at the mo'. Basically, you mine dirt into sand and lay down a little factory to process it (and the by-products), generating gold to purchase factory and tool upgrades. It can be a little overwhelming at the start but super satisfying over time.

New trailer for #VisionQuest and it's looking good. I really enjoy Paul Bettany's Vision and you can't say no to more James Spader on your TV. It's a shame #Disney are scaling back on the MCU TV offerings as I've thoroughly enjoyed almost all of them. *sharp side-eye at Secret Invasion*👀

It's that time again. The pre-order page for #NBA2K27 is up. Nothing to see, really. The player close-up screenshots and game description could easily be mistaken for the #NBA2K26 page. Anyone thinking about picking it up -- they still haven't fixed the connection bug from over *2 months ago*

So *very* looking forward to this! And given how well Apple TV seems to produce really top notch sci-fi shows, I have really high hopes too. Only downside? Jan 22nd! It's about five months far too far away!😡😜

Great job 👏

Weather forecasts this month have been like "Oh, did we say 17°C? We meant 37°C. Sozlol!"

Was wondering why my social media feed and various sites were a bit quiet this morning, then I noticed the date.😳 Happy Birthday, America. (Sorry your drunk, deadbeat Dad has crashed the party and is ruining it for everyone).

Didn't expect to see the 'under new management' pay off so soon.

Q: Would you want to be the first person on the new UK prime minister's list to visit London? TRUMP: No. He's very liberal

Being a PC gamer, all the publishers with their multi-platform games running in terror of GTA 6's release window means I'm looking at a gaming void during that period. Yeah, thanks everyone, good show.

Thank you to Youtube for looking out for me during this heatwave. But I don't think recommending a UK Weather Met Office video from 2024 is really going to keep me informed...🤨 "You seemed to be really fixated on the weather right now. Want to see a forecast from when your face *wasn't* melting?"

I've enjoyed #Silo but the clips from the trailers for season 3 all seem to suggest a lot of it is going to be getting back to the same spot we were at by the end of season 2. Just treading water. Hopefully not the case.🫤

A lot of people don't realise this but in the UK we have to replace our Prime Minister every two or three years or else the rights revert back to Marvel

5 weeks later and still radio silence/zero action fixing a connection bug in #NBA2K26. Absolutely shameful that #2KGames are ignoring this issue. The joke of a moderator on the Steam forums insisting people make tickets with support. On a 68 page, 1015 comment thread! Has #2KGames not noticed?😲🤯🤬

Two weeks now and the Season 7 connection bug in #NBA2K26 still hasn't been fixed or addressed. Utter contempt from #2KGames isn't new at this point, of course but does this particular sh!tshow have anything to do with the layoffs at #VisualConcepts? Stretched too thin cobbling together #NBA2K27?

Is it a self-fulfilling prophecy - people aren't investing their time in Netflix shows because Netflix shows always get cancelled and Netflix shows always get cancelled because people don't invest their time in them? Either way, this sucks. The Boroughs was great.😠

Less than a month after premiering, the sci-fi series 'The Boroughs' has been canceled.

Congratulations to Elon on becoming the world’s first trillionaire from London 🔥

How old? SO OLD. Noticed my PC was 'running low' on drive space yesterday. Windows had marked the 160GB it had left in RED. Everyone panic!😟 It reminded of the first computer I used that had a hard drive and a time when it politely mentioned I was running low on space? How low? 67KB. So old.😬

Either I've become the unluckiest player ever, or they've seriously tweaked the 'Wheelspin' rates for Forza Horizon 6. I swear I used to score a free car every three or so spins in FH5. This time round, I seem to be raking in nothing but low end credit prizes. Woohoo! Another 5,000 CR!😒

Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight... Best Bane ever!😜

As a PC player who wouldn't have been seeing GTA 6 any time soon, I'd just like to say - f#ck this move.😡 I'll (maybe) pick up Fable at a (much, much) later date than 'early 2027', when it's on sale and (deeply) discounted.😒

Over a week after the Season 7 update introduced a connection bug to NBA 2K26 and they've still not fixed it (or even addressed its existence!). When it happened, I joked that I expect it'll be fixed in the Season 8 update or the release of NBA 2K27. Ugh, don't want to be proved right but...
