I just find this such a funny detail about Jaws, that it was initially going to be a different director, but he kept calling the shark a whale, and they got so annoyed they let him go 😅

Merry Cressmas 🎅⛄🎄

Thank you to Yuval Dorfman & Mat Van Rhoon for talking to me about the fan-made, high-res (and faithful) remake they're making of Tex Murphy: Under A Killing Moon! We talk lost VHS tapes, the brand new features (mini games!) Yuval is adding, KickStarter & more! www.youtube.com/watch?v=orOj...

Fifa is back....on your phone....through Netflix? Will you play? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Time for Radiohead in Copenhagen 2.0!

London on the underground at this time of year is crazy cos everyone is more half cut than usual 😄 That said, Shout out to the guy with whom I had a wholesome interaction with about moving to Bristol. It's a low bar but lovely to just have a friendly chat on the tube sometimes 😄

girls make games is a great org and tbh with all the work they've done over the last 10+ years this is super well deserved. i love these girls, i love that they're on stage, and this would've been huge for me to see when i was little www.girlsmakegames.com

The Forest Devs absolutely knew what they were doing with showing that 3 before anything else 😄 #iyky #hl3 #thegameawards

When the jocks invade the nerd party 😄 #thegameawards

Co-streaming the Game Awards with @sclarkeo.bsky.social! Join us on twitch.tv/sclarkeo

Also I'm quite pleased at how much I was able to fix the grading and lighting for this latest video in the edit. Look at that comparison! If anyone has some good video tutorials about filming on an android phone Id love to see them. I'm using the Blackmagic Camera app but don't know what I'm doing!

My report from AdventureX, the UK's narrative gaming expo, is up! There's LOADS of chat with big adventure game creators on their NEW GAMES, including Charles Cecil, Dave Gilbert & Jon Ingold! And I do ask Charles if Broken Sword 3 will ever get remastered😄! youtu.be/uj6bECvOhcI

GUTTED

I'm live finishing off Dispatch and revealing the 12 Games of Cressmas (what 12 games which came out this year I'll be trying to complete within December!) twitch.tv/cressup

David Doak and Steve Ellis of GoldenEye / TimeSplitters fame are making...a Scrabble game? What's going on here 😄 youtu.be/HJTEoLs0rC4?...

And Roses has the friendliest laugh and smile and was great fun to be around (alongside the weird little guy 😄).

So if we use laptops in a really dark room they'll both balance each other out (....possibly).

Live with AdventureX catchup and more Dispatch! www.twitch.tv/cressup

AdventureX is a v special UK gaming expo (at a time when there aren't a huge amount around). This year it was back with a BANG!! Guybrush Threepwood (@darmato.bsky.social)! The Dark Room (@robbotron.bsky.social)! & LOADS of fab ppl!! My video round-up coming soon youtube.com/@cressup?si=...

Being a Radiohead fan means keeping a small sliver of hope (continuing to try for tickets) in an ever increasingly hopeless world (AXS / Ticketmaster).

Two ways to tell a story

So proud, well done!

Thanks to @atari.com's CEO Wade Rosen for speaking to me for BBC News about Atari's future and where it fits in today's video game industry! www.youtube.com/watch?v=vVvh...

If you're at AdventureX this weekend come say hi! I'll be there making a film of the event for my channel (and hanging out with all the lovely people!). youtube.com/@cressup?si=...

Restraining myself at the Ghibli pop-up shop and only buying a few small things

Enjoyed the annual "Cressup Interviewee Meetup" 😛 (pre AdventureX dinner and first time meeting the lovely Dominic Armato!)

It is officially one year until GTA 6 is released* *unless they move the date again

Is this the first time indie games have matched AAA studios in nominations for GOTY at #thegameawards? What does "Indie" even mean anymore (and is the game most likely to win this, Clair Obscur, one of them, or somewhere more in-between?)

Live, playing the new superhero ""choices-matter game starring Aaron Paul - Dispatch! twitch.tv/cressup

Playing the spooky new adventure game Foolish Mortals live! And there's a giveaway in chat for the game - thanks @inklingwood.bsky.social! twitch.tv/cressup store.steampowered.com/app/1848440/...

If you're a games freelancer and you're going to physically be in LA around TGAs in December, and you still have capacity to pick up further work, I would love to hear from you: [email protected]

Can't wait for the Steam Machine? You could just build your own (but then you don't get that fun LED strip). www.windowscentral.com/gaming/pc-ga...

Valve has announced many more ways...to play on Steam! It won't stop until you're playing on Steam in every possible combination! Would you buy a Steam Machine? youtu.be/OmKrKTwtukE?...

And that's a wrap on The Séance of Blake Manor! What a fantastic game, so much thought gone into it, really good fun (and very addictive) to play! And I learnt a lot about Irish folklore too! @blakemanorgame.bsky.social

The members of this household are taking great interest in my playthrough of @spookydoorway.bsky.social's excellent The Seance of Blake Manor @blakemanorgame.bsky.social

Cmon, people's only suggestion for Glasgow can't just be "visit Edinburgh" 😅

So I'm up in Glasgow for 6 months, writing about tech for the BBC website. I'd love to hear your tech news tips but also your Glasgow hidden gems - where to eat / see / day trips away (I've been to GoMA, Kelvingrove etc, so a bit less of the obvious places if poss!)

Did you check this out yesterday? 🦀

Jacob Janerka gave me the latest on his new comedy adventure game The Dungeon Experience 🦀 We chatted mudcrabs, Paradigm spin-offs, what happened to his Seinfeld game idea - AND MOST IMPORTANTLY WHERE HE GOT HIS BIG CLAWS FROM! INTERVIEW LINK: youtu.be/uFzsLFNrkWM @jacobjanerka.bsky.social

Are branching narratives in games a waste of time? @danthat.bsky.social spoke about why they weren't part of his upcoming game EARTH MUST DIE & how he feels they don't add as much value to games as people think! Full chat - where we discuss that AMAZING cast - here youtu.be/VGPKYBJZaoA?...

You've heard of Snakes On A Plane, well how about...
