Shoot 'em up @vampire.poncle.games features enemies based on #Welsh folk creature Mari Lwyd. "Mari Lwyd" can mean "Grey Mare", but its possible Virgin Mary reference is reflected in Maronna's name that doubles as an Italian pun. Maronna Meea continues the Welsh-Italian theme. #VampireSurvivors

Due to planned engineering work, the 200th anniversary of rail travel will be replaced by the 200th anniversary of bus travel.

Stand by for endless discussions about digital ID but, yet again, zero conversations about digital poverty. Or any other kind of poverty come to that.

I've been playing the new Simon the Sorcerer – yes, there's a new Simon the Sorcerer – and I'm very happy with it so far.

Only just learning that the sequence of three asterisks you often see in books (generally used to denote a break within a chapter) is called a dinkus

had the urge to do this since the moment i saw this post! #pixelart

One of my favorite fun facts is why the TMNT are named after artists (it’s because the type of turtle they are is a “painted turtle”). I told my nephew about this and he immediately replied that there should be a Bob Ross turtle. So rather than explain the renaissance movement to him, I-

Haggis Pakora are bloody marvellous and I wish I could get them down here.

It’s also the 65th anniversary of the pilot episode of Michael Bentine’s It’s a Square World being shown on the BBC. It ran for four years, was positively unhinged, and – according to the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography – gave rise to one of the finest of all BBC memos

Not even 2 months in and I’m close to 500. I appreciate the follows so much! 😭 Trying to debate another sketch or sticker raffle again.

SMG2's soundtrack is, for me, one of the very best out there. It took every aural lesson learned from the previous game, and ran with them. I was very lucky to have found the Club Nintendo-exclusive physical edition for sale in Akihabara's famous Super Potato while on honeymoon!

Sad to report that Tony Award-winning actor/composer Frank Lazarus - Ravelli, the Chico Marx character in our BBC “Flywheel, Shyster and Flywheel” re-creations of the early 1990s - died yesterday at the age of 86. The recent repeats of Flywheel on BBC Radio 4 Extra speak are fitting tribute. RIP.

2010 puzzle-platformer Apple Jack's backstory sees the man with an apple for a head travelling from England to #Wales to rescue his dog from Mount #Snowdon. Each level is named after a town, with many from the #Welsh counties of Clwyd and Gwynedd featuring in the final portions of the game.

Think I’ve found possibly the finest description of Terry-Thomas.

yeah. this is very true, and *as a woman working in games in 2014* it was extraordinary how many of us were screaming that something VERY NEW AND BAD was happening and how little of a shit the mainstream media gave about either women or 'what's going on in videogames'

For Super Mario Bros' 40th anniversary, here is an enjoyable insight into its creation (from my forthcoming book, Super Nintendo - linktr.ee/super_nintendo)

Diwrnod gwisgo fyny yn y Llyfrgell heddiw, i ddathlu diweddglo Sialens Ddarllen yr Haf... A 40ain-mlwyddiant Mario yr un dydd. Roedd rhaid, 'doedd? Fancy dress at the Library today, to celebrate the end of the Summer Reading Challenge... And Mario's 40th on the same day. Inevitable, really...

Classic Borderlands humour played on Tobias there. 10/10

Woooow How to implode your miniatures line, the Red Box way.

If you want to learn a bit more about the #Welsh culture featured in the first game and Withering Realms, give my interview with developer Troy a read here: walesingames.com/interview-wi...

I cannot wait for this game! It goes overlooked, but Withering Rooms and the upcoming Withering Realms are both set in Wales. Realms is looking incredibly creative! Set for Early Access on Steam in Q2 2026. Wishlist here: store.steampowered.com/app/3441990/...

Update: Nintendo says Friday's Direct will feature "roughly 60 minutes of information on upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch games."

Nintendo has confirmed that its next Nintendo Direct will take place this Friday, the day before Super Mario Bros' 40th anniversary. vgc.news/news/nintend...

What does Nintendo have planned for Super Mario’s 40th anniversary this week? @scully1888 muses the possibilities... www.videogameschronicle.com/features/wha...

Mae'n deimlad braf, wrth recordio demo, pan mae prosiect arall yn codi angen demo hefyd. Llai o waith gosod a thynnu ar y bwth, am un peth! It's a great feeling, as you're recording a demo, when another project pops up looking for another. Less setup and takedown work on the booth, for one thing!
