Nearly two years of playing Infinity Nikki and I finally got a pirate outfit. Brilliant.
I had Life is Strange muted so nobody spoiled the two games I hadn't played and I just unmuted it now I've played them and I find out there's a Life is Strange tv show coming out. This is 10/10 John news.
Listen, I love Life is Strange. I really do. But just once it would be cool to have a protagonist that listened to Megadeth or something instead of bank ad indie.
Just saw someone seriously trying to argue that Ed Sheeran gets a pass because people in the audience just wanted to hear music, not political opinions. Have a day off. If they wanted to hear music they wouldn't have been at an Ed Sheeran show.
Ed Sheeran finding a way to suck even more is quite an achievement.
How did Macklemore become the voice of reason
Xbox still sucks and Microsoft is still a cancer in the games industry. People just aren't used to PlayStation sucking as much as they do now.
Yall just because PlayStation is on a generationally bad news run doesn’t mean we have to pretend Xbox is some beacon of hope let’s be serious
Nintendo customer appreciation sale aka nintendo charging you what the normal price should be before they add nintendo tax to it sale
"Can I play the latest game in the series without playing the others?" is so corny. "Oooh new shiny me wanty." No. You will play all 18 previous titles in the series or you won't play the new one at all. Don't try and have unearned fun. Not on my watch.
Announcing a game for four years from now is somehow even worse than announcing a game with no date, and then it coming out four years later.
I know there's a lot of armchair quarterbacking in a lot of fields and it's often right to dismiss it. But I firmly believe if you picked pretty much anyone - me, you, one of my cats, anyone - and put them in charge of PlayStation we could do a better job.
It's my birthday and Lauren decorated the room and got me loads of stuff and so I am the birthday king.
You've got to admire PlayStation's commitment to the bit. They're really giving it their all at being the absolute worst console manufacturer.
Hideo Kojima's stealth game Physint, which was supposed to be a PlayStation Studios title, has now moved over to Xbox after Kojima says Sony tried to cancel it. PlayStation has confirmed it "made the difficult decision to step away" from the project. www.videogameschronicle.com/news/hideo-k...
I'm replaying Stellar Blade and man, we don't talk about the Stellar Blade soundtrack enough.
Oh, the UK governmet has fallen out with Israel. About time.
That Zelda remake looks kinda great and totally hideous at the same time. Weird looking. Kinda into it I guess.
I did the math and if you start The Witcher 3 now on Xbox Cloud, you'll finish it just in time for The Witcher 5 to be released.
You should have voted for Binface.
Undercover footage verified by Channel 4 News reveals a secret plot by senior Reform UK figures to break the law on party donations. A leading legal expert is now calling for a criminal investigation. 🔗 Read the exclusive story on Substack:
I'm really into this new console war. It used to be PlayStation and Xbox trying to kill each other. Boring. Everyone could see where it was going. This one is way better as they compete to see which can be the shittest. Xbox has a real chance now. Excited to see where it goes.

One thing I hate is when in a movie or whatever someone has to sacrifice some blood for some reason, and they slash their palm. They always do the palm. Why would you choose the palm? Why not the back of your hand? Seems wildly unnecessary and I judge any character that does it harshly.
Once the Final Fantasy VII remake project is mercifully over we can go back to begging Square Enix to remake Final Fantasy VII properly for the next 20 years.
Oh I didn't realise State of Play was on earlier than normal. Missed half of it. Just looked up what I missed. Okay then.
