Edward Bluemel. Young enough to create a legacy, has the look, charm and grit. He plays a great proxy in Killing Eve.

Just warming up

Very late to the party but, after numerous recommendations, I finally played Sektori... Absolute masterpiece. And so the race towards the top 100 begins.

Naming a video game you've completed more than six times is trickier.

A fun format this: people submit their least favourite bits of game design and we - with the insight of an actual designer (the wonderful Jamie Smith) - decide whether to banish the idea for good. Much more nutritional value than me guessing at the worth of pre-owned games.

Moon Doors R Us... Tune in if you'd like to hear our takes on common game design sins. It was a great chat and the lads were on top form as always.

Superman III

The @backpagepod.bsky.social is one of the few podcasts I subscribe to, that is instantly downloaded and consumed within hours of release. Combining insightful guests with contemporary critique across various episode formats is the secret sauce. Many congrats, lads. Next threshold (Warhammer) 40k!

This was exceptional, thoroughly recommended watching. It speaks to a time when I first joined the industry and was playing Call of Duty as a hardcore fan. That was before getting the opportunity to work on the franchise and hearing some of these anecdotes first hand from SHG.

April 2026 podcast schedule!

MORTAL KOMBAT 3 released in Arcades 31 years ago I remember seeing the Arcade Cabinet in a local fun park for the first time. "They're on EARTH?! There's a GIRL GORO?! Wait... WHERE IS SCORPION?!?" All while Shao Khan's voice is BOOMING from the speakers. "FINISH HIM!" *sigh* It was awesome

Now that we've shipped the first big update to The Killing Stone in Early Access, I may have some time to put together my notes and make a proper talk or article about the card battle AI. In the meantime, here's a taste! Figuring this stuff out has been one of the highlights of my career.

Yakuza Side Stories: The Game

Post a non-religious picture you think of as holy.

I was asked to talk about DLSS5, but then I got angry about DLSS5, and so that's what in this @kotaku.com article. kotaku.com/we-spoke-to-...

Post four fictional characters you relate to and let people assume things about you. (Extremely 90s coded)

Always meet your heroes @officialgdc.bsky.social... @awintory.bsky.social what a gentleman, thank you for your work, over 7 years since that concert in Middlesbrough!

I had chicken for breakfast, then spotted one of my games in the wild, and got a compliment about my calf tattoo - great start to the day @officialgdc.bsky.social

I think #my9games represent formative titles that have shaped my gaming tastes and design sensibilities.

This bit in the From Russia With Love game made me laugh out loud. You've got a fairly grounded, low key fight based on the one in the movie, then the most video game looking fucker of all time slides into frame.

Georgia was skating to MORTAL KOMBAT at the Olympics exhibition gala

This is my new favourite place to lurk... Get yourselves involved folks!

We made a game! I think it's a pretty good game! You can buy it now, for less than a Hamilton! Or wishlist it for later! Both of those things help! And after you've played it, would you be a dear and leave a review? store.steampowered.com/app/2781470/...

This is like a time machine @mfc.co.uk #UTB 🔴

The drone on a luge run is awesome

I know people love to deservedly praise John Candy's improvisation in HOME ALONE, but Catherine O'Hara is equally amazing. She's rolling with all of his choices and is deep within his emotionality and frivolity, responding to him with equal ease. It's stellar acting work by her.

One of the best games I played last year, this. Strong recommendation

Not my house, but I know my way around.

Slightly diminish a game: Like a Dragonfly

The world didn't know to ask, but the internet still answered anyway youtu.be/KllNBAkGALg?...

Don't sleep on Sonic Racing: Crossworlds... I think I've enjoyed it more than Mario Kart World! It feels engaging due to the chaos, challenge, and customisation. Positional management is interesting because it awards bonus points during the final GP race and selects a persistent rival throughout.

The new year is almost upon us, so here are my selections for GOTY 2025... 1. 👹Ghost of Yotei 2. 🤖Dispatch 3. 🌲Drop Duchy 4. 🌸Promise Mascot Agency 5. ⛳Everybody's Golf: Hot Shots 6. 🪖Battlefield 6 7. 🍄Mario Kart World 8. 🐟Cast n Chill 9. 🌴Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii 10. 🟪Lumines Arise

The reason First Light is delayed... ...Oddjob needs to be rebalanced

@abki.bsky.social Pinky dressed up as Sam Fisher cracks me up 🤣 On the home straight for Promise Mascot Agency completion!

@genrouthier.bsky.social Any recommendations for Steam sale games please? I've got a bunch in my basket including Planetiles!

I was fortunate to have been there when this spontaneously kicked off! A fun exercise that resulted in some hilarious depictions of recent games, props go to the Back Page community.
