Fair play to SSM, you'd have got pretty long odds on the partner character in new God of War being a gelatinous cube.

Not seen the Sony 2026 Summer State of Play yet? Come watch it with us and be as confused as we are by that cube at the end. youtube.com/watch?v=XYPa...

The PlayStation State of Play showcased the reveal of first-party titles God of War: Laufey and Until Dawn 2, in addition to an extended gameplay trailer for Marvel's Wolverine. Here's a bullet-point rundown of all the announcements, trailers, and release dates:

Is anyone else sitting in bed still reeling from the gelatinous cube in the new God of War game?

This is one of the weirder stories of the last few days. Transparency is a mistake? So-called fans, go and give your heads a wobble. This is dumb enough that I've spent an inordinate of time re-reading the story because I can't believe I'm understanding it. thisweekinvideogames.com/news/xbox-ce...

If you are planning to listen to our upcoming Castlevania podcast (@winnerisyou.bsky.social) this is the timeline I was pouring over throughout.

Wuuuuuuuut!

Some incredibly sad news - Scotland legend Scott Hastings has passed away Tributes have been paid to the Grand Slam hero 👉 shorturl.at/oYdRQ

I also slipped and fell down a Forbidden Solitaire hole this weekend and it was lovely. www.rankone.global/supersmillie...

I genuinely love this app. Castlevania Aria of Sorrow. Get ready for the @winnerisyou.bsky.social podcast about it in your feeds. www.rankone.global/supersmillie...

I'm quite interested in playing Mixtape. I heard a discussion about it describing it as the nostalgia of feelings and I'm entering a stage of life where I'm very much in the market for something reminiscent like this.

Case in point. thisweekinvideogames.com/news/playsta...

£70 is still too much for a videogame. Don't let companies gaslight you. If the costs are too high, that's their problem. The industry treats us like a stone to be squeezed of every last penny. I honestly think gamers are now just being priced out of their own hobby. Cynic rant over. ✌️

So sad to see them in this mess. Just keeps getting worse for regular people. Worst bit is, only some of them are aware of it. www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/4/...

Good Lord. I messed up my facial hair and had to go full shave. First time I've had this in like 15 years. I'm simultaneously not enjoying it, but also less distraught about the amount of white in my hair. The downhill slide is well and truly in motion.

Might as well keep logging this somewhere, so here is as good as any. #28DaysLater letterboxd.com/supersmillie...

X360 for me. I can still remember sitting in the sun at college reading their cover story of the Bioshock reveal.

I also had a moment when I was a kid when I moved from VHS to DVD and I wondered how I ever watched VHS. I'm currently wondering this about DVD's. Most of this movie is a smudge on a screen.

I'm clearly repeating myself, but finishing up '28 Days Later' and I'm sitting here laughing that I ever thought this was a serious movie. I need to rewatch the new movies with a new eye. I think I've given them an unfair shake. These movies are just one step removed from comic books.

"Netflix is 100% behind The Gears of War movie" says Director David Leitch... so where is it? It's been three and a half years since it was announced, during which we've had MANY other video game to screen adaptations. What's the hold up with Gears? youtu.be/smUEsoqOoyA?...

I tried my best to muster up some thoughts and emotions on Under The Waves 😴 www.rankone.global/supersmillie...

I clean forgot that 28 Days later come about as the result of some kind of rabi monkey disease. I might need to rethink my opinions on the more recent movies. 😂

Wait.. so Trumps response to Iran closing the Strait of Hormuz is to... blockade it? "You can't close that because I'm closing it". 🫠 Absolute melt. How embarrassing.

“In a way, Trump's right in saying there’s been a regime transformation", says Ali Vaez. “But the new cast of characters are much more hardline compared to their predecessors" Trump is boasting of regime change in Iran, but what has been left in the wake of his 'war of choice'?

Need a new game to play now. Considering Control, Citizen Sleeper or Dead Space again. But maybe I'll just fart around with Balatro and PGA 2K25 while I watch The Masters this weekend then start afresh Monday.

I've been getting targeted hard by Displate ads over the last few days. Wonder what I've done to deserve that...

Been thinking about Hotline Miami recently. What a cool game that is.

The self and the cyberself in quiet introspection

Definitely coming back here when I unlock bombs.

I'm on a roll, so here's some thoughts about Terminator 3, wrapped up in comparisons I see with a nation embroiled in a battle with its own hubris. What happens when you drink a little too much of your own Kool-Aid letterboxd.com/supersmillie...

letterboxd.com/supersmillie... Thought I'd jot down some thoughts on Terminator 2 on Letterboxd.

Gonna need to make a pilgrimage to see this Mario movie I suppose. It's not getting me excited, but I feel like I owe it to myself... or at least owe it to my 9 year old self.

Just having a casual google about the helicopter chase scene in Terminator 2 and seemingly it was filmed practically, including the section of the helicopter flying under an overpass. Apparently, James Cameron also had to film the stunt himself because the crew thought it too dangerous. Wild. 🤯

With these prices, I'm increasingly tempted to try and build my own Steam Machine. Anyone following me ever had a go at this? How well does it work and how easy is it?

Excellent news for Resident Evil fans. www.videogameschronicle.com/news/gogs-op...

Some short thoughts on The Terminator letterboxd.com/supersmillie...

Do we need to get someone to check in on these guys to check if they are ok?

Thinking about buying Marathon... need someone to talk me out of it.

I have also made a profile on here starting from Jan ‘26. Follow me for the random stuff I play, AWIY pod games and Sega Mania review titles! Man, this thing really needs an app. www.rankone.global/thrillex

Since I made a page for @winnerisyou.bsky.social, I thought I would make one for myself, starting from January 2026, come see what I'm playing. I won't tell you how long it has taken me to input all the games on the AWIY page... www.rankone.global/supersmillie

Ever wanted to see what games we've covered on podcasts over the years? Want no more. I've made us a profile on RankOne where you can see everything we have played for the podcast. Why not make your own profile and give us a follow? www.rankone.global/awinnerisyou

I normally like puzzle games and people rave about Blue prince, so I've been giving it a go tonight and it isn't clicking. The way folk talk about this game makes me feel like I'm missing something... but I can't be assed with it.

Lol...

This is brilliant.

Speed read this paragraph and I thought I had a stroke.

Resident Evil: Requiem platinum in the bag. And you know what, I've almost finished reading The Slab by Karen Traviss, so I think I'm gonna get Gears on Playstation and give it a whirl. I'm in the mood.

I first bought Edge magazine back in 1993 and never stopped. This account is dedicated to celebrating over 30 years of gaming history by revisiting 400+ issues of one of the industry's most distinctive voices. Expect scans, excerpts, some brutal reviews, and plenty of talk about the good old days.
