Wrapped up the Wolfenstein trilogy over the weekend and tonight I’m playing Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. MachineGames, the legends you are.

🚨 content creators🚨 code-sign ups for DRYWALL EATING SIMULATOR are now open - a very normal comedy adventure about office small talk, KPIs, shareholder value.. - and eating drywall when you can’t take it anymore – push your patience to the limits as you navigate human society

Absolute stellar charity shop finds this morning. ✨

As well as Hi-Fi RUSH, I’m also playing through the Wolfenstein PS4 titles. Wrapped up The Old Blood earlier and now diving into The New Order. Dual wielding shotguns is absolute carnage.

Week off work vibes to finally catch up on some gaming gems I missed on initial release. First up, Hi-Fi RUSH. 🎶

What happens when your husband is playing banjo kazooie and you can’t stop thinking about wicked? A silly drawing like this appears.

Wrote about video games for fun because I enjoyed them and then realised I wanted to work with games full time. Hello public relations career.

PSA to anyone thinking about playing where the wind meets , I was recommended to try it out by friends but found out that it had AI chatbot npcs and uninstalled immediately. Posting here to let people know since the game itself does not openly say it uses AI and it wasted my time today .

Thank you Black Friday deal. Let’s see if you’re worth the £10 you cost.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is a soulless and soul-destroying game that thinks exceptionally little of its players and developers. My one-star review for @restart.run: www.restart.run/articles/cal...

I really enjoyed my time with Clair Obscur, but it is a bit odd to see 3 separate people from the same game nominated within the Best Performance category. I don’t know, I just feel for the countless other talented members of the industry who were pretty much neglected here.

I have only myself to blame for the crushing disappointment I am currently experiencing.

My hope for Kingdom Hearts 4 diminishes with each passing second.

What do you mean today is Skyrim’s 14th anniversary? I was literally just 19, getting in from college and calling out sick to my evening job (if my old boss reads this I’m sorry) and spending alll night playing. That was 14 YEARS AGO?? 😶 time… it’s wild.

I’m so glad I live in a world that has Kingdom Hearts.

Please know, if they show anything kingdom hearts 4 related tomorrow, you will hear me screaming/crying from wherever you are in the world.

‘Focused on games created in Japan’

AI imagery is absolutely dreadful and I refuse to let this ‘rise’ of usage diminish my creative soul and freedom. With this in mind, I’ve been working hard these last few weeks on getting storyboards finalised, and in 2026 I’ll be pursuing my dream to create a frame by frame animated movie.

Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair (2025) Official Trailer www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Szk... In Theaters Dec 5, 2025. KILL BILL: THE WHOLE BLOODY AFFAIR unites Volume 1 and Volume 2 into a single, unrated epic—presented exactly as he intended, complete with a new, never-before-seen anime sequence

Unfortunately I’ve been laid off today from Square Enix, so if anyone has leads for any Community or Social positions please let me know. I’m just tired and heartbroken.

I wasn’t much of an Xbox player growing up. Admittedly, I only wanted an Xbox so I could play Dino Crisis 3 (🤡), so Halo wasn’t a franchise I ever had much interest in. Fast forward to present day, I started my first ever playthrough of Halo: Combat Evolved last night and so far, it’s incredible.

Sorely disappointed but not remotely surprised.

The Godzilla Minus One follow-up is called Godzilla Minus Zero, from returning director and writer Takashi Yamazaki. https://bit.ly/47AT5oV

Excellent use of my artistic free will this weekend. Happy Fortnite x Simpsons Day 🍩😼🐭✨

Happy Halloween! 🎃 To celebrate this scary day and from recently finishing silent hill f, here’s some artwork I was inspired to create. ♥️

Finished Silent Hill f. What a wicked experience. 10/10 no notes. I hope I’m not breaking any embargo by sharing my thoughts x

😀 what the fuck 😀

There needs to be more video games with dinosaurs in them.

🐺 awoooo 🐺

Pokémon Legends: Z-A is actually very enjoyable when you haven’t got someone crying in your ear about how ‘terrible’ it is. 😌

10 games to get to know me. ✨ (There’s absolutely a theme with dragons going on here)

Valnet unfortunately let go of the entire TheGamer features team today alongside several other staff members. Many incredibly talented and hard working writers I've had the pleasure of working with over the past several years.

If anyone who was laid off from TheGamer today has a piece they were working on and need a home for, Skybox wants to hear from you, and we pay pretty well. We can't make up for you being laid off, but we'll do what we can.

I got laid off from TheGamer today, along with the entire Features team (go give @epicswitzer.bsky.social and @hallafyre.bsky.social a follow!) Needless to say, I'm now looking for work. I'm open to roles in: -Journalism -PR -Copywriting -Copy editing -Games writing -Scriptwriting

Out now! 🦖 What a privilege to work on this one. For press keen to jump in and hear the soothing tones off Jeff Goldblum as you try to control a rampaging Spinosaurus, drop me a message/email. youtu.be/I3VojIHYpDY?...

The PS2 truly is the best console ever because it is constantly becoming more powerful. Each time we say something "looks like a PS2 game" we're talking about a game of a higher fidelity than the last. What the PS2 is capable of in 2025 is so far beyond what it was capable of in 2003. That's amazing

I finished this painting btw

hear me out 💖✨ video games ✨💖 huge if true

Excellent delivery day ✨

Sent out at least 200 follow up emails today, which in itself is AWFUL but then I accidentally called someone ‘Fanny’ instead of ‘Danny’. Someone, anyone, take my industry card away from me.

Fit check. #GhostofYotei

I can’t believe I’m 33 the same year Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 released. Anyway, today’s my birthday. 🎈

Everyone, meet Esme, the cutie Yorkshire Terrier I’ve been commissioned to paint. Work in progress. 🐾
