The diving from England has been incredibly embarrassing throughout this tournament tbqhwy

The video games industry is a business, sure, but you can’t neglect the artistry that goes into it. Both sides of the green-and-blue divide seem to have forgotten that. Also includes my quick thoughts on the Black Ops I and II ports. Rant here: shutterpawmedia.com/a-rant-about...

Beloved Call of Duty Zombies director Jason Blundell has weathered two failed studios and PlayStation deals since leaving Treyarch. Now, he's trying a third time, and the enthusiasm behind him doesn't seem to be waning. @shutterpaw.bsky.social speaks to those close to Blundell to understand why.

Really fantastic and fascinating read here from Edward Lee (not the celebrity chef), who cold-called into the TWIV contact form with a pitch that made me go "I would love to learn more about all that."

It’s been a while since Jason Blundell last released a game. I spoke with members of the Dark Outlaw team about their time at the studio, what it’s like working with Blundell, and why so many people still believe in a new game from the COD Zombies legend. thisweekinvideogames.com/feature/the-...

Avoiding studio closures is a relief, but it doesn’t make up for the thousands of employees laid off across other parts of Xbox. Awful.

That’s what it’s all about. 🇨🇻

Mind boggling. Mind fucking boggling.

We’ll always have Haiti 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

The guy who instructed Scotland to pass it around the back against Brazil has a contract until 2030, btw.

Time to show the world what glorious failure looks like 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Totenreich looks to the past to deliver an incredibly strong modern Zombies map. Black Ops 7 Zombies isn't slowing down yet. Video review live: youtu.be/Zt-ujZlKy8U 🥶🧟

he's real as fuck

Steve Clarke don’t bother coming home

No Switch 2

Remembering this and simply laughing

Awful game of football. Awful referee. Awful subs. Awful. Awful. Awful. Top of the group. Never in doubt. 😉🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Does PlayStation genuinely think any of these games will move the needle? I’m not sure a single one hits Marathon numbers – a game that is already underperforming. Yes, Destiny 3 is likely out of the question, but to completely stop support for Destiny 2? Madness.

I hate when the Direct is objectively very good but only has a few things I'm interested in. Ah well.

This Nintendo Direct could be massive, or it could end in tears.

Rumours for tomorrow’s Nintendo Direct include: Black Ops, Black Ops II, and a new Ace Attorney.

DMZ, the most industry plant game mode of all time. 🚮

Where Are We Going? is back for Episode 3! 🧟 Join me, Stanley and Korb as we talk all things Zombies, including: 🔄 Roguelite elements in Zombies 🚯 Should Treyarch keep or bin rarity? 🪦 Is the Dark Aether story ending? Watch here: youtu.be/FL7Nsae5aNM?...

I’m a Claptrap and Morgana fan. The Cube is insufferable.

There are some big names in skate’s S4 soundtrack update. There may still be budget… 🙏🤘

Sol Ruca, btw. 🌞🤙

If this means what I think it means...

The End of Destiny 2 and the Return of Infinity Ward The damage done to Bungie’s legacy over the past few years is bad enough; clipping the studio’s wings a third time may render it unrecognisable. IW is back too, I guess. 🤷‍♂️ Read here: shutterpawmedia.com/the-end-of-d...

Killing off Destiny 2 for Marathon is an awful idea, imo. Yet it felt inevitable. Unless Bungie can invent a time machine to start Destiny 3 development earlier, I’m not sure what happens next.

Skrrt skrrt

“A better tomorrow is only possible if we blow away the ashes of the past.” Fuck, this one sucks. RIP Tom Kane.🧡

“The famous actor we once knew is looking paranoid and now is spiralling.”

I can’t believe how long it took to add a pair of Vans slip-ons to the shop in skate. Better late than never, though.

I've been to the pictures twice this week! Two cracking, yet very different, horror films. 👻
