Extremely proud of what me, Lex, Scott and Jason all achieved with the site. I'd already announced I was leaving, needed more time to plan the next steps, and I'm glad Rewinder is being paused rather than ending. We've opened up the Discord too (link in article) if anyone wants to join us

I contributed to @theguardian.com’s video games you might have missed with bits on Blippo+ and Stray Chrildren! Cc @oniongames.bsky.social @blippo.plus www.theguardian.com/games/2025/d...

Someone posted a Riven (1997) development team? denim jacket that they found in a Goodwill for $10 on Reddit and I’m just putting it out there to try and manifest this energy so something similar happens to me. And if anyone I know has one of these, for some reason, I will pay handsomely for it…

Stray Children Review: A ferocious fermented fairytale that evokes Mother 3 and Undertale @oniongames.bsky.social postmode.org/stray-childr...

I’m afraid to tell you that another must-play game has dropped in 2025. I absolutely LOVED Stray Children, and hope lots of people check it out. Here’s my review for Postmode:

The reviews are starting to come in! Our first 9 out of 10! 🧅💥 "...when the narrative dots connect, there are few games as delightfully funny and poignant as this."

My review in progress for Dispatch is live on @ign.com! My full review will arrive once the series is out in a little bit, but so far I’m having a great time! Cc @adhocstudio.com www.ign.com/articles/dis...

I reviewed Keeper for @ign.com! It’s weird and surreal and I loved it! Cc @doublefine.com www.ign.com/articles/kee...

Very relevant and useful phrase pull from Duolingo today

Really cool to get this kind of interview up on my (comparatively small-fry) video game website. If you've been digging into Ghost of Yotei over the weekend, check this out!

Here’s my Yotei review! There are simply too many great games this year… the GOTY convo is getting bonkers postmode.org/ghost-of-yot...

Silent Hill f is a brilliant addition to the series! You can check out my full review below: www.videogamer.com/reviews/sile...

Last night, I wrapped up all of the story missions in the early access release of Skate. Here's a beginner's guide I put together for the Epic Games Store, containing all the tips and tricks I've learned so far :) store.epicgames.com/en-US/news/a...

Hands-On: Scott Pilgrim EX Is An Electric “Adventure Brawler” Powered By Anamanaguchi @tributegames.com / @anamanaguchi.bsky.social postmode.org/scott-pilgri...

Gutted I didn’t catch this at gamescom, but absolutely buzzing to check it out in October!

I was already thinking about who I would tap for launch day co-op while playing the demo of Scott Pilgrim EX. It rocks. The quasi-open-world brawler concept is compelling, and Anamanaguchi, as always, are cooking!

So I've been playing skate... store.epicgames.com/en-US/news/f...

Here’s my first gamescom write up, for the only demo session in memory where I’ve been offered a sick bag…

I LOVED writing this preview!!! Keeper is going to be special (but I bet not for the reasons you think)🐦

Curating a list of gamescom games that aren't in my schedule but I think look really cool: - Valor Mortis - Keeper - Denshattack! - Death by Scrolling - Routine - Bubsy 4D I'm hitting 10.1 for all the indies tomorrow, so I will hopefully catch a few of those there. Maybe?!

There’s a guy called Paul Berger just stood here aura farming in Hall 9

I’m at the THQ booth walking up to unrelated developers asking where SpongeBob is

Played Silksong! Specifically, the Moss Grotto demo, which ends with the Moss Mother fight. Hornet is suffering some kind of fatigue, and falls in front of a mysterious NPC. Seems like a continuation of everything the first game was good at!

Gamescom press friends — go to the east entrance and walk through to the west entrance. I’m already walking the halls! Earliest I’ve been in, I think!

I reviewed Drag X Drive for @theguardian.com 🏀 www.theguardian.com/games/2025/a...

I say this every year, but if you're at gamescom, get a kebab from Haus of Doner in the Alter Markt. It's a two-minute walk from The Corkonian, and it's elite. Also, more people should try Mett at one of the breweries nearby—elite snack (if you can get over the fact it's raw pork).

I got new business cards for gamescom!!!

Bumping this in case it crosses the feed of a hardworking editor who may prefer to have lunch, at some point, instead of back-to-back appointments all day in the Koelnmesse 😘
