That bit in Sunshine where every time the torch beam goes past the camera there's a subliminal image of the dead crew. I love that. Love that!

One of the all-time greats.

New episode anyway

When I watch downtown abbey I normally take the piss out of the guy who plays Bates for having an enormous face but fuck me. Kettle pot black.

We came up with an idea for a game here that frankly every venture capitalist in the Valley should be lining up to first round

No point doing Gone Shooting anymore. youtu.be/gBzJGckMYO4?...

The problem with MGS 4 isn't that it has too many cutscenes. The problem is that all of the cutscenes are total shit. And all of the parts that aren't cutscenes.

It's damn good

Oh. My. Starry-eyed surprise. Slow down the sunrise. Dance all night. We gonna dance all night. Dance all night to this DJ.

An especially great section in here discussing Baby Steps in comparison to Free Solo and Alex Honnold as an individual.

I also really like that the consensus from so many who've gone deep with the game is "Nate the video game character is actually incredibly impressive"

ok yeah they're really great: bulletpointsmonthly.com/2026/02/04/m... bulletpointsmonthly.com/2026/02/11/m...

"Asia is having this really beautiful gaming renaissance right now that I think a lot of people in the West aren't realising." This week, we talk to @buckycm.bsky.social about the Japanese indie scene, Pocketpair Publishing and what indie *really* means. Subscribe here: bit.ly/knowledgenewsletter

A new article from me.

I'm quarantining myself from any writing about the game as I work on putting the finishing touches on my own piece, but I'm sure everything by the Bullet Points crew is great, the below included.

I wrote about men, women and videogame conventions in Baby Steps. I hope you enjoy reading this.

Now, here was a man's man.

@skacky.bsky.social Hi, Roman. My name is Ed Smith, I'm the features editor at Edge magazine. I'd like to speak with you about something I'm working on, connected to The Black Parade. Could you DM me here, or email me on ed dot smith at futurenet dot com? Thanks!

I'd like a version of this with my own name. I feel like I could be in the Smith Syndicate.

She is one today.

Here's your first peek at Season 2 for Battlefield 6. See you again on Feb 12th, when our gameplay trailer drops :) www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_Ih...

I really loved Despelote breakingarrows.ghost.io/despelote-20...

One of the good games.

This film Aftersun has hit me like a bullet. I wrote a very short response to it on Letterboxd but then deleted it out of embarrassment (too much -me- in there). But I don't think I've had such an intense reaction to anything else I've seen or read in my entire life.

I remember at school they taught you how important it is to vote and respect the people in charge

Just played Many Nights A Whisper for the first time.

We're starting up a new issue today, beginning with @youmeyou.bsky.social on Baby Steps. bulletpointsmonthly.com/2026/02/04/m...

It's new issue day here at Bullet Points.

I drank a lot, smoked rolled up cigarettes and constantly used the word 'retrograde'. I had a show on campus radio, wrote game reviews for the university paper and didn't come within 200 miles of having sex for the entire three years.

the substacker claiming to vindicate Neil Gaiman begins their report with a long diatribe against social media invective which is traditionally how all good investigative reporting starts

It's such a wonderful game. So beautiful. www.youtube.com/watch?v=oh4K...

Flashback to 2013 when I was 23 years old, about five stone heavier, and featured on the Tumblr page White Guys Wearing Oculus Rifts

There are a few moments where it's one of the most chilling games of all time. And there's this sadness, this emptiness, this ennui. A ghost story where you play as the ghost.
