We went back to the Eiffel Tower at night. Still f***ing massive. Gorgeous views from the top, though

I'm sure this will probably be a known thing, but there's an artist who does gaming pixel art with tiles across Paris. These are everywhere. You love to see it

Bonjour Just quickly checking in to confirm that the Eiffel Tower is f***ing massive

It absolutely blows my mind that family-friendly Nintendo is so militantly protective of its IPs, but this AI shit is in the top ten most purchased games in its sale right now

Little man was recovering from an injury, so didn't get his scheduled haircut and therefore looked abandoned. What a difference 24 hours makes!

Your man Joe Marler, turning up to The Traitors finale dressed like Jack-2 in Tekken Tag Tournament

Forgot to post this last night, but during the fireworks, GamePupper cuddled up with Panda, the only toy he's had since gotcha day in 2019

Well, that's another massive thing to add to the "I can't afford this but I need it" list. LEGO Star Trek kicks off with the iconic Enterprise (and a spectacular GWP)

So @localthunk.com, @playstack.com and @fangamer.com are going all in on a delightful @playbalatro.com charity calendar starring @benstarr.bsky.social. Brilliant, unhinged stuff. 10/10, like the game.

GamePupper Live: having a paddy and kicking the shit out of his bed for no good reason

2025 has been a VERY good year for games. This GOTY shortlist is possibly the strongest I've seen in years, 2023 included

Essentially dropped everything for five minutes after hearing @mattchorley.bsky.social introduce @toadsanime.lostincult.co.uk on BBC 5 Live to talk about @stopkillinggames.bsky.social. You love to hear it

It's our first visit to The Lowry - Salford Quays is a pretty impressive place these days

Nothing beats coming home from a long day out to find this beauty from @apwot.bsky.social has dropped through your letterbox. Look at it ✨DAZZLE✨

Big tired sod in his big inflatable cone. I genuinely believe he wished for a head cyst just so he could go full goblin mode

In the words of Vinnie from Goodfellas, "and that's that". The Outer Worlds 2 might have some of the best writing I've seen in a good few years (among other strengths), and I really hope to put something together about it soon

GamePupper needs a haircut but we can't give him a haircut until he heals. He knows it too. He won't stop staring at me (but I'm also eating potato sticks so that's probably why)

I think I'm more excited for @funselektor.bsky.social's Over the Hill than literally any other game in 2026. Check out the trailer and my light personal crisis here:

AYOOOO I'm about 50 hours into The Outer Worlds 2, and if you're picking it up this week, I've got some solid, spoiler-free tips for you...

Got some new slippers today. ✅ Solid padding that'll last about 12 days ✅ Thick soles that transition for bin trips and letting the dog out for a wee ✅ Good grip for taking the stairs two(!) at a time, like Action Man would

You know you're nearly 40 when you excitedly chat with your partner about asking for M&S vouchers at Christmas because you want new bath sheets

Update: he's not best pleased

This little man had a (benign) cyst behind his head. He's been prescribed the latest inflatable anti-scratch technology (and a few extra belly rubs)

We gave GamePupper a full brush after he got soaked. After two hours of fannying around the house, he returned to being a full-blown scruff

Here are the first names of West Brom's managers from 1977-1988: Johnny Ronnie John Ron Ronnie Ron Johnny Nobby Ron Ron YOU'RE WELCOME

Another indie GOTY underdog on Game Pass right now from @kennysun.com and @devolverdigital.com. Don't sleep on Ball x Pit:

My wife's out, I'm waiting for my review copy of The Outer Worlds 2 to install, so I'm watching the WWF SmackDown episode when Mankind reintroduces Cactus Jack to Triple H ahead of Royal Rumble 2000. I still maintain the 2000 SmackDown intro is perfect

It was a real pleasure to interview @apwot.bsky.social's @cazwis.bsky.social for Forbes this month, especially ahead of A Profound Waste of Time issue 5! Check it out here:

There's nothing more British than a) knowing exactly where your shared lawn ends, and b) never considering doing your neighbour's lawn, even though the end product looks proper shit

I love swans, but these teenagers hissed at my dog, and as a result I plan to defy the King and both kill and eat them at a later date

I'm in the longest corridor in West Yorkshire #feelingblessed

I'm pretty sure you have to pay more for this kind of thing

Dougal is not taking the "75 miles of walking in a month" MND challenge well

All this GOTY talk about Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 makes me happy, and it deserves the award for this scene alone

Finally played @landfall.se's PEAK. Really, no gaming experience compares to you and two of your mates struggling to get anywhere, while your other bastard mate freely climbs ahead and passive-aggressively (and solely) communicates via bugle 10/10 amazing game

I never share anything like this, so feel free to enjoy the picture of the dog and move on! We're raising money the MND Association by walking this lazy sod for 75 miles in October. It's a cause we really root for, so if you have a spare quid, help us hit our goal! socialsync.app/fundraiser/c...

I love Android's new speech-to-text voicemail function. My wife got this today from her doctor, and it reads like a spam email from Dr. Professor. "six thanks, bye."

Here's GamePupper patiently awaiting his mum's return from Tesco (photo taken during the only five seconds he wasn't crying)

I'm so glad this is finally on general release. A great work from @readonlymemory.com (but be sure to check out the special editions too). Apologies for not calling it the Mega Drive, such is the life of someone who must contractually write gaming content in American English

This is happening right now, bring it on

You can talk about Humphrey Bogart in Casablanca, or Meryl Streep in Sophie's Choice, but do you really know the power of acting until you see Stone Cold Steve Austin emerge from a fridge while fighting Booker T on a 2001 episode of SmackDown?

I know we've all been thinking it, but: Dutch football teams were REALLY obsessed with speed in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Teams include: 🏃Be Quick 1887 🏃Quick Boys 🏃Quick '20 🏃Quick 1888 🏃Quick Den Haag 🏃Velocitas 🏃Vitesse Arnhem

Hotel Barcelona from @cultgames.bsky.social is one of my favourite games of the year so far, but there's a*little* bit more to it than that. Check out my review:

My wife just reinstalled Tetris 99 on the Switch 2

The best and worst thing about heavy rain is that I have to dress my dog up as an astronaut race driver just so he can have a piss

Henry Halfhead from @lululu.games is something you should treat yourself to - one of my favourite games of 2025 so far. Check out my review:

MES AMIS

GamePupper loves his shark toys. Carries them all around the house. Drops them in the garden, on the stairs, on the bed, then lays on them. I wish my life was that simple.

Really vague request, but... A few years ago, an email newsletter about games journalism collapsed very quickly after its writer rather cruelly tore apart a very easy-to-find game review on a mainline website. Can anyone remember what it was called or when it was sent?

We got this photo from a dogwalker taking Dougal/GamePupper (front, centre), and it looks like he's taking a selfie with all his mates
