You know something, I don’t think that’s going to happen.

Merry Christmas 🎄🎄🎄

2025 has been an incredible year of games and this was the best way to hear a champion be crowned. Do I agree with all the decisions? Never. But I stand by them! Genuinely the most entertaining GOTY format, I cannot be convinced otherwise and if you haven't already got into this pod you should.

Hi I wrote about the Sega Master System and how it’s been criminally overlooked because everyone goes on about the NES like it was the only 8bit console in the world look don’t get me started www.theguardian.com/games/2025/n...

This can't be real, surely.

Was trying to figure out if this is some weird psychological thing in Black Ops 7, nah, it’s just a glitch. The campaign is baaaaad.

At some point, whether they want to or not, The Game Awards is going to have to reckon with the role it's played in the rampant corporitization of video games - and everything that's led to. And crucially, how the show and people behind it have failed to step up when it mattered.

Chatting with Future Class inductees for my latest at @theguardian.com. They paint a pretty clear picture of the perils of performative allyship. Thanks to all who spoke with me, and always, to Keza for the chance to do important work!

Extremely happy that this has happened. Will make the Portal much more worth taking away from home.

Where’s Phil?

Happy Halloween youtu.be/7cBH8EuDTU4?...

It didn’t work out for them.

this is part of the reason Xbox execs say people don’t want exclusives: making those games and building an Xbox audience for the long term doesn’t match their absurd, short term profit goals

Have I ever mentioned how much I hate Deutsche Bahn?

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

I was reflecting on the massive bear that just so happened to wander past at the same moment.

Iain Lee - Imposter Syndrome worked last night and I think it is something very special. I play the Rondo Theatre in Bath in February but looking for more venues across teh country. Ideally holding between 80-120. Do you work for a venue that would like to book me? Or know any? [email protected]
