Pokemon Squishmallows or SpongeBob Lego? Why not both? joshcoulson.substack.com/p/big-squish...

What in the blue milk FUCK has been going down on this moisture farm?!

That’s not a robot. That’s a free range Virtual Boy.

Been a while since I wrote something like this. Tell the non-gamers in your life that there’s more to this thing you love than GTA and Mario. www.thegamer.com/and-roger-ex...

Was lucky enough to check out Belmont's Curse earlier this month, and it's quickly become one of my most anticipated games of 2026! It's also pushed me to finish the rest of the series, which has been a treat www.thegamer.com/castlevania-...

I checked out Cozy Grove: Camp Spirit and loved it just as much as the first! I still wish we didn't have the time-gated aspect though... I'll also never stop using song lyrics to make pun titles. Sorry, not sorry. www.thegamer.com/cozy-grove-c...

Denshattack! is an unrelenting delight and might be the best thing I've played all year. It's so fun to play, even better to listen to, and has some truly lovable characters. Play this game! @denshattack.bsky.social Oh and read my review ❤️ www.thegamer.com/denshattack-...

I want an old iPod filled with music ripped from physical albums that I paid money for, and no, I’m not joking

Lot of new Pokemon Lego and how to maybe, potentially, if you're lucky, get PS Plus for less in my newsletter this week joshcoulson.substack.com/p/cancel-you...

I don’t watch much ‘normal’ TV anymore so just got jump scared by an army recruitment ad during the England game on ITV Really? We’re still doing that shit?

Wasn’t convinced X-Men 97 s2 could live up to the perfection that was s1 Then i watched episode 4

Turns out I wasn’t emotionally prepared to scream every last word of Welcome to the Black Parade with 80,000 people. Take me back!

Won’t lie to you gang, I don’t think I’m emotionally prepared to scream the words to Helena with 80,000 people

Anyone else going to see My Chemical Romance at Wembley tomorrow, don’t forget to leave eyeliner and skinny jeans out for Emo Santa tonight.

Looking for a good idle game to pass the time or use in your next Twitch stream? Take a look at Glimvale: My Mini Overworld.

Assassin's Creed: Black Flag Resynced doesn't have much depth to its gameplay or narrative, but little of that matters as you're sailing the ocean as a sexy Welsh pirate. It's a great time, even if it rarely challenges you or innovates upon its original form. www.thegamer.com/assassins-cr...

I’ve been waiting a long time to tell you all about this one (shout out to @jimnormann.bsky.social for being the Omura to my Maki) www.thegamer.com/orbitals-pre...

I guess we’re about to find out if Xbox is incompetent enough that it can fuck up Minecraft, too, because for some reason Sharma wants to mess with the 300 million-selling juggernaut that has essentially printed infinite money until now when left the fuck alone.

Nintendo is not free from sin and no corporation is your friend, but I do have to hand it to Nintendo for making bullshit. Sony and Microsoft are afraid to do crazy shit. Nintendo dropped a $100 alarm clock when everyone was waiting for the Switch 2 to be announced. They keep you on your toes.

Guys, I think there’s something wrong with my Steam Machine (review in progress)

6yo is in the kitchen unboxing his One Piece Funko Pops while blaring One Piece music. Is this a phase? They don’t mention it in any of the parenting books.

At the very least I want to exist in a place where the people who don’t want this can’t keep destroying the industry I love

PlayStation/Xbox: we have zero interest in creating a new generation of gamers, we don’t even care about the ones we already have really Nintendo: you know who doesn’t play Mario games yet? Babies!

It's wild that the "PS Store is not a monopoly because you can buy it on Xbox" holds up when it's just a lie. A PS5 owner cannot choose to buy digital games for that console on the Xbox store, or anywhere else for that matter, without buying an entirely new console or PC.

The PS app icon goes back to having a normal blue background instead of the GTA 6 one if you update it. Not gonna let mine update and sell my phone Flappy Bird style. The bidding starts at 1 million british pounds.

‘No need to go too hard for the theme tune, it’s only an X-Men cartoon’ Say no more:

Sony: we are getting rid of game discs forever fuck you Microsoft: our next console cant even read game discs fuck you Nintendo: Samus is BACK and BOY, is she HUNGRY

Remember when the only thing we had to worry about was how long Sakurai’s next Kirby Air Riders Direct was going to be?

Has Xbox announced that not only is it no longer making physical games, but it’s also going to break into your house at night to take back the ones you already own and then give your nan a kicking on the way out yet?

If you're curious what a non-preservationist gaming ecosystem looks like, you can look at the mobile stores, where most of the shit you remember does not exist in any form anymore.

@playstation.com You deny my son a future in which I tell him ‘no… no…. flip it… yeah the other way up’ every time he tries to put a disc into one of your consoles? Shame on you.

There are a lot more games releasing this month than I realised before writing this. And here I was thinking I'd be sitting around waiting for Halo and Splatoon. joshcoulson.substack.com/p/every-big-...)

Popped by Nintendo and all of a sudden I’m really excited about a new Splatoon game www.thegamer.com/splatoon-rai...

This line playing on repeat in my head at the aquarium today as the guy doing one of the feeds explained how much you’d have to mess with a stingray before it would go ‘fuck it’ and sting you

I think that seven-year-old should be able to smoke - @danryckert.com

@grubb.wtf have you played Luminous on the Nex Playground? Feels like your type of shit and I want to race you to the top 5

Playing and Roger when you’re already a bit emotional is a bad idea huh?

Steam Machines, Star Fox plushes, and I think something went down with GTA 6? I can't know for sure open.substack.com/pub/joshcoul...

Took 6 to see Supergirl. He loved it, it’s awesome, but when I tried to tell him Lobo and Garrett ‘The Garbageman’ Garrison are the same person, he just said “no”

We hereby conduct this post-mortem.

British people making it out the other side of the heatwave

every day in the gaming industry is just seeing deeply stupid people play with the careers of lovely and talented people
