When you turn up at school but class is cancelled because the grammar textbooks have gone missing

This is powerfully embarrassing

“Right, full day of hammering my book today” [Mouse breaks within 30 minutes]

Finished my latest Lego build, a cheeky wee Sherlock Holmes book nook for my bookshelf

Podcast: We've played Metroid Prime 4. Was it worth the wait? @jordanmiddler.bsky.social @scully1888.bsky.social @andyrobinson.bsky.social and @dringo.bsky.social chat about the week in news. Watch: youtu.be/t-GS78nY9AA Listen: lnk.to/VGC Plus: Things get heated over the Mario movie...

I've written some bits for this, so if you want to complete your collection of Everything Chris Scullion Has Ever Committed to Print then 1) Please stop camping in my front garden: I can see you, you know. And 2) Get your order in now

Moaners will moan but I'm up for this. The main reason I didn't play through Silent Hill F again to get the rest of the endings was because I couldn't be arsed with all that combat, so an option to fire through it quicker for plot purposes is welcome.

Digital Foundry says Steam Machine power will be "some mid-point between Xbox Series S and PS5, prob closer to PS5", so the price will determine how many PC players want to buy a TV box providing what may be a performance downgrade for some of them. Also means the next Xbox will be different enough

Two things I always absolutely love the idea of, then quickly become sick of after I get stuck into them

Here's our full, definitive list of all 28 announcements made during PlayStation's State of Play Japan presentation today. www.videogameschronicle.com/news/heres-e...

Speaks volumes about just how big the price hike has been, that Sony can sell a Japanese-only PS5 Digital that's $120 cheaper than usual, and it's STILL $95 more expensive than it was at launch

Warm take: There's a snobbery against basic puzzle games these days, which didn't exist during the days of Tetris, Dr Mario, Puzzle Bobble, Zoo Keeper – right up to the moment smartphones arrived, basically. If Suika Game had released on DS first it would be considered a classic

My new favourite

This is getting riiiiiiiinsed tonight

Yahoo Auctions is tackling scalping in Japan by banning sellers from listing new games at more than retail price for their first month of release. www.videogameschronicle.com/news/yahoo-a...

“I’d buy that for four dollars” (Which you definitely should, it’s great)

Bring it back

In which I correctly and unequivocally argue that Deadpool is a bigger superhero than Wolverine these days

Despite what @jordanmiddler.bsky.social & @scully1888.bsky.social said about his music on the @videogameschronicle.com podcast, he wears his new badge with honour

Grand Theft Oh No, more like, am I right my dudes? my dudes

To be fair, this shouldn't comes as a surprise since it's seemingly been using it to come up with its game titles for the past two decades

Another one I've always wanted to play. God bless Hamster Corporation and all who sail in her, they're absolutely killing it with early polygonal Namco re-releases.

Watched all of Zohran Mamdani's victory speech this morning. I really hope this is the start of something massive, something big enough to fight the inevitable escalation this will prompt from the White House. This was the bit that got me.

It might have been up for a while but after occasional checks I see the Disney Speedstorm soundtrack is FINALLY on Spotify. Even if you don't care about the game, the soundtrack is packed with ridiculous dance remixes of Disney music. Trust me. Banger after banger. www.youtube.com/watch?v=9pi4...

Well, it's about bloody time, frankly

Be careful of Vinted scams. Got hit with one today, so I've detailed it here

Here's my review of the new Hyrule Warriors. This one has the best combat of the three, I reckon.

I love recording our retro podcasts. If you aren't on our Patreon yet, there's a year's worth waiting for you.

To be honest, when he explains why, it does make sense. You can't be in a "the evil doctor will destroy the world in 48 hours" situation and also spend two hours playing a bowling mini-game

This is going to be enormous.

Made an effort for the Halloween edition of the VGC Podcast.

Must be hard

Here’s my review of Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection, another fantastic retro compilation from @digitaleclipse.bsky.social They really have reached the stage where retro fans should be buying everything they release.

Very happy with the zoom on the iPhone 17 Pro.

I certainly hope Zippy wears a condom after all that happening to his wife

'Halo on PS5 isn’t really shocking, but fans could be right to bemoan the death of Xbox exclusives.' vgc.news/features/opi...

Praying that Molyneux delivers with his last game. His overpromising has been a running joke for decades, but where some people saw "a compulsive liar" I saw a guy who dreamt big, loved the games he made and let his enthusiasm get the better of him. I have all the time for him.

A very subtle PlayStation Encyclopedia preview here: the screenshots in this article were taken for my book, and since it's not out yet I've used them here first. (@retrotink.com 4K Pro and original PS1 hardware working great together as ever)

I know you all think this is a dream job but because I reviewed Sonic Racing CrossWorlds instead of buying it I didn't get the pre-order bonus and can therefore not race as Werehog Sonic, and I'm not exaggerating when I say nothing worse has happened to anyone else on this planet

Posted another First Play video last night if you missed it. Fast & Furious: Arcade Edition is big dumb fun but I love it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=hFJK...
