Seriously best new band in forever. Listen to them. It’s insane. Absolutely top tier. The Last Dinner Party

We knew it was going to happen but Little Getting booed here is hard to watch.

It was quite a ride to get there let me tell you. Congratulations Baby Steps!

Jools Holland clearly thinking “I don’t remember booking this guy”

“Should I make Ghost of Yotei or Death Stranding 2 my Christmas Game?” NO SOD IT ILL JUST PLAY THROUGH POWER WASH SIMULATOR 2 😭😭

Idea for a TV show. The Gladiators have to play video games against a bunch of nerds and see if they still act the big man. Fuck em. Merry Christmas.

Marry Christmas all. It’s been brilliant seeing so many nice comments about the GOTY show. Always worry about how people will react to them so it’s nice to hear that people are enjoying it!

483: Game of the Year 2025 Here. We. Go. It’s time to decide the TCGS Game of the Year for 2025. 🎧 Podcast: plinkhq.com/i/1100170036... 📺 YouTube: youtu.be/e7usEG5xXPc 🤝 Patreon: patreon.com/tcgs (Remember: as always, this episode is audio only, so there’s no video version to watch.)

GOTY. DONE.

I am wildly under prepared.

🎄 A STERN REMINDER 🎄 Sean is doing his annual Christmas Concert, i.e. him playing a load of Christmas songs on Trombone Champ. It MAY not end up on YouTube due to copyright issues, so you'd better show up TONIGHT. 9pm GMT!!!! twitch.tv/tcgsco

We’re also bringing Imposter Syndrome to Birmingham! Come and see @iainlee and myself twat about on stage! Tickets now available.

As everyone always says you know; “I wish that this had been the game that had come out when the film came out rather than the stuff that did because it wasn’t very good”

We’re coming to Manchester! Tickets now available.

I HIGHLY recommend The Phone In Show.

Mat has barely played Expedition 33 BTW. I mean I’ve been cynical, but at least I admit it.
