You know when That Group of Loud Americans arrives at a bar in Europe when, and I'm really not joking, a man says the phrase "my wife's therapist" five times within 15 words of conversation

Couldn't agree more, and it sadly got lost due to its January 2022 release. Spectacular RPG. My review from way back when:

Update: submarine and massive old walls completed

Good morning from Tallinn 🇪🇪 I'm 40 today. Gonna celebrate by looking at a submarine and some massive old walls

🇫🇮➡️🇪🇪

Oh god what have I done

Good morning from Helsinki 🇫🇮

Got my first-ever hotel upgrade in Helsinki! 🇫🇮

Anyone played Nubby's Number Factory? I downloaded it on a whim for my travels and it looks pretty exciting

I finally got around to @waxheadsgame.bsky.social by @patattiemurray.bsky.social and @rothiotome.bsky.social, and it's well worth the wait - a gorgeous little game. My review here:

I love getting to this stage of the night with an absolute banging tweet and thinking "actually, more people will see it tomorrow at a better hour" and then remembering that it's not Twitter and no one actually cares anyway

Posting stuff from UK > US is a fucking joke. Sent my mate a birthday present - cost me £24 to send it, then I needed to print customs forms and buy those "documents enclosed" folders, and then my mate was immediately charged $20 for import taxes. For a shirt. Never posting anything to the US again.

We left GamePupper with the in-laws, and needless to say he's fucking knackered

From the brilliant @asherperlman.bsky.social Doesn't resonate with me at all, of course....

GamePupper here, taking brief respite from dicking around in the park, to stop and judge us, before going back to dicking around in the park

Thank Goodness You're Here! is half price on Xbox right now. Looks like I'll have to buy it again.

This, because I've since been told you get the exact same emotional connection with the game by just watching someone else play it on YouTube

its crazy how literally everything is worse than it was two years ago

Of all the Mixtape responses I've read this month, this is by far the most depressing

We're spending this stage of our night trying to figure out if our dog is better suited to the heptathlon or modern pentathlon. Our dog, without opposable thumbs:

If anyone missed the World Video Game Hall of Fame inductees tonight... Worth a read! Had fun with this one

Guess I have a new favourite game in 2026. @mixtapegame.bsky.social is a masterpiece. My very spoiler-free take here (honestly, just play it ASAP):

This is going to be like that time they gave Movie Sonic little eyes, isn't it

MotorSlice: big fan.

IT'S FINALLY HAPPENING

My favourite arcade racer of the last five years from @walaber.com got European-themed DLC for £4, so to celebrate, I basically spent some time talking about a car park in York. Anyway, you know, buy the game and DLC

This has never happened to me in seven years of reviewing but it's pretty great: I'm still apparently the only person to play, complete, and 100% MotorSlice on Xbox in the world - all achievements are only me at the mo. Review coming soon...

FFS BBC, don't get my hopes up with an update, only to confirm what is still somehow happening

A sunny Saturday in your very late 30s doesn't mean a beer garden... Introducing 🪏gardening🪏! Cleared this bastard out. It's not even our land, it was just doing our nut in.

I've just celebrated my car being fixed by buying a chainsaw. Not often you can say that.

As someone who has received numerous death threats for having an opinion: It's an opinion. You don't have to agree with it. It's not IGN here, it's a person. Disagreeing with them is fine. Lighting torches over *one 6/10 review* does serious damage to both the writer and the industry

Nothing like playing Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, and even Indy was able to make it through the Strait of Hormuz

Love this from Microsoft Bing: "Celebrate Earth Day by making shit AI images and helping to destroy the world's water resources!" 20 points value = 1.6p.

He attacks the pope and reposts himself as Jesus, but then I get a PR email saying "Hey, wanna play Barbie Horse Ride & Rescue?" Yeah, I fucking might, actually, anything that focuses on "not this" is great thanks

Ah, go on then. This game and all other adventures that rely on a consistent countdown timer (e.g. Dead Rising) suuuuuuck

I'll tell you what, FIFA must feel really silly about giving him that Peace Prize of theirs

We decided to make the most of the nice weather to walk the dog and distract ourselves from the president of the US threatening indiscriminate genocide

I needed this 4.5-mile walk, but not as much as I needed the pint when we finished

Why though.

Happy "Kinhell, Isn't It Still So Light Outside, Even Though It's 6:30pm?" Day to all who observe it

I was at work, and I saw a wearing a Hartlepool United hat - my team. Amazing, I thought. Great chat with a hometown boy. He asked me what my favourite goal was. Gleefully told him, thinking we could share the moment. Anyway, it turns out it happened three years before he was born. 💀💀💀💀

SNL UK was the biggest surprise. Genuinely hilarious. Full credit to them sticking it to everyone actively wishing they'd fail

Doing the time-honoured British tradition of donating to Comic Relief so I can fast-forward through all the sad bits

Oh mate, I wish I had your life

DLSS5 reveal going well, then

I love the fact I wrote about my obsession with this exact game on that exact demo nearly ten years ago. Still a banger. www.gametripper.co.uk/games/music/...

Me, thinking that we've got jam roly poly for dessert tomorrow night

This might be the funniest game ad I've ever seen. "Purchase my whole life's work for an eye-watering f*** all"

GamePupper is soooooooo big

Why am I finally building my LEGO pirate minifigure? Because I ARRRRRRR wait, shit, that doesn't work
