What a beautiful win

Take a few minutes to appreciate Drew Struzan creating the original artwork for THE PHANTOM MENACE. Truly a master at work.

RIP the legendary Drew Struzan (1947-2025) 😩 Even though we were expecting the news any day now, it makes me very sad. What an artist.

Between three of the Tests vs India, Rory's Masters, England's women's Euros, all the United nonsense and this Ryder Cup, it's been a fucking excruciating summer or sport.

Shane Lowry you absolute beauty! #RyderCup

Flight Sim on PS5? Never thought I’d see the day! #StateofPlay

Almost time for another State of Play - which means it’s time for my traditional pre-State of Play post…

Thank you, Lalo.

Ditto this!

Not quite sure why any Indian bowler (other than Bumrah) doesn’t just bang it in short and wait for England’s top order to implode.

Well, that was staggeringly unwise.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

The best moment of this sports weekend has just happened: South Africa World Test champions. Remarkable game against Australia, massive favourites before and during the game. Aidan Markram joins list of South African sporting greats. 🏏 Fantastic for long form cricket too !

My column this week: how if you want to understand the forces shaping politics, both at an electoral and ideological level, you have to understand videogames:

You love to see it!

There was an actual "Sega do what Nintendon't" at Summer Game Fest in the year 2025.

Solid showing! Not-E3 week is up and running!

Okay this Bond game looks legit!

Oh shit an official fight stick from PlayStation is wild. Looks cool.

Almost time for another State of Play - which means it’s time for my traditional pre-State of Play post…

Happy Orthodox Star Wars Day.

The score in this scene… Absolutely sublime.

As you can imagine, I’ve been incapable of thinking of anything else. #Andor

Magnificent. #Andor

Muting #Andor for the last time. It’s been absolutely incredible. See you on the other side.

Andor tomorrow. Savor it.

He was never going to do it the easy way! #themasters

Bloody hell 🫣 #themasters

The artist of a generation.

Finally!

Finally(?)

Kojima knows exactly what he's doing to us

Definitely not Solid Snake

Part II was absolutely magnificent - they could not have done a better job. If it is the end of the story, so be it.

What a tragic loss. Monolith has been around for 30 years, made classics like No One Lives Forever, FEAR, Condemned, and of course the Middle-Earth series. I have so many great memories from that studio. Thanks for all the good times team 💔😞

I’m somehow both thrilled and disappointed by this

This headline is a tad misleading - they’re still yet to overturn the current APT rules. Still, it’s a win for Pannick et al. They’ll be reaching for that banner…

No Indy release date… #Playstation #StateOfPlay

MGS Delta. Day one. #Playstation #StateOfPlay

Well then… #Playstation #StateOfPlay

Happy 93rd birthday to the legendary John Williams! May the Force be with you!

In three weeks - #StarWars #ReignoftheEmpire #TheMaskofFear

Overwhelming feeling that Rashford is actually on his way is still sadness. It’s right for him to go now but hard not to wonder what might have been had United not flitted from one crisis to the next while he was there. Hope he’s happy and does well.

All looking a bit like there’s too much smoke for there to not be fire with the Garnacho stuff isn’t it. I get some of the dispassionate reasoning for it not being the worst plan but still instinctively absolutely hate the idea and what it signifies.
