Now I don't feel like reheated death, I played about an hour of Sonic Rumble. It's quite fun. Could see it being a decent time over Discord with some friends. Very much free-to-play with multiple currencies and passes, but eh, I can largely ignore that.

And they're on the wall!

Is there any chance of us still seeing a Metroid Prime 2 and 3 Remastered, or are Nintendo seriously expecting most people to jump straight from Prime 1 to Prime 4? Needs be, I have Prime Trilogy on Wii and can play that to get caught up, but most of their audience can't do that.

To be an artist

Frames arrived for my @sonicconuk.com prints! The awesome artwork is from (clockwise): @arq004sp.bsky.social SpaceColonie: www.instagram.com/spacecolonie @haruspexhare.com Kaoz: ko-fi.com/KaozHedgehog Now to decide where to hang them...

The lengths I go to for a supporting image that will be on-screen for all of five seconds in the actual video...

The Scottish Greens stand with Rockstar's workers. ✊

Let's try this again! The damaged stock has been replaced and once again I'm selling the prints that didn't arrive in time for Sonic Con! Also for the time being UK only (sorry I don't know how to customs yet 😔 🙏) ✨ arq-ket-place.myshopify.com ✨ #WorkOfARQ

This wasn’t about leaking GTA VI. It was: Rockstar illegally firing union members to stop the studio from unionizing. it directly contradicts Rockstar’s PR narrative and confirms almost everything that people suspected was going on.

My covers from IDW's Sonic mini series "Fang the Hunter"! Wanted to get the vibe of anime VHS covers drawn on cels, as well as old manga volume/chapter covers, like Dragon Ball, etc > #sonic #IDWSonic #FangtheHunter #comicart <

Oh shit my TEDx is up!! www.youtube.com/watch?v=OX3-...

A fan-made remaster of #Sonic2 on the Master System has been given a new lease of life with a name change to "Sonic 2: Gear Shift", as well as a new trailer and playable demo. We cover the latest on @starrydustnova.bsky.social's project on TSS! #SonicNews www.sonicstadium.org/articles/son...

Yesterday we happened upon an elderly man walking his pet giant tortoise. They stopped for a snack and let me take a photo.

Guess whose cold got worse? Whatever bug I presumably picked up at the convention has only gotten worse since. I can barely look at a screen, head screaming, breathing solely through my mouth and every joint hurts. Taken the day off work. Probably going straight back to bed.

Here's a video about my experiences at @sonicconuk.com this past weekend. 😀 youtu.be/j6buMnCi71E

TAKE IT 2 THE MAX with #SonictheHedgehog 2: Gear Shift! The diabolical Dr. "Ivo" Robotnik is up to no good again, and has captured Sonic's new best friend, Miles "Tails" Prower! Can you save your two-tailed friend and foil Robotnik's plans once more? #SaveTails #fangame youtu.be/sptLqNkH1s4

Speaking of lists, as my favourite convention of the year, I thought @sonicconuk.com needed it's own list of amazing guests, performers, artists & traders. Such an amazing vibe at this event, and I genuinely can't wait for next year! 🦔💙 #sonicthehedgehog #sonicconuk #sonic go.bsky.app/T8TGx8p

Today's fiscal irresponsibility is brought to you by the letter S.

NEW TOYS! SEGA and JAKKS Pacific have announced a multi-year renewal on their licensing partnership, with JAKKS to produce new action figures, plush toys and more until at least 2029. SEGA shared the below image with TSS to announce the news. GUMBALL EYES SHADOW! #SonicNews

Hey everyone we made a comic for #SonicConUk and you can read the whole thing here! drive.google.com/file/d/1DSvK... Cover art by @itmeanspencil.bsky.social

Ordered a replacement PS2 (the disc drive on mine finally died) and wow, this is a clean PlayStation! They weren't kidding when they advertised this as serviced, refurbished and renewed. Look how spotless that rear fan is!

Anyone had a near black image with only faint outlines visible when using SCART cables for PAL Dreamcasts? I thought the issue was my cable, so I bought a new one, but that does the same thing. This CRT works flawlessly with all my of my other systems via SCART in both 50Hz and 60Hz.

@comicprintinguk.bsky.social overly specific question for an entirely hypothetical scenario. Sonic the Comic was an unusual 225 x 297mm. If someone were to draw a story in that universe and they wanted to future-proof for print just-in-case, what size would you recommend they work to? A4 (210x297)?

I completely forgot I signed up to this Mega Man Legends game jam several weeks ago. It started this weekend while I was away. I should probably figure out what I'm making for it... itch.io/jam/mega-man...

Picked up some incredible prints from Arq at Sonic Con. Check out the online store and show some support.

I had so much fun this weekend! Taking today off work as a recovery day was definitely the right call though. I'm in a spoon overdraft. Going to take it easy, play some Trails in the Sky and rest up.

Remember when Windows knew how to be fun?

So it’s a rule of three, like a lot of narrative rules, and it says that if you’re writing a new story for existing characters, you maintain the emotional throughline from previous outings by preserving: 1. The characters. 2. Their core location. 3. What they do there.

Feeling good. @sonicconuk.com was amazing! Here's to the next one.

Ready for @sonicconuk.com standard entry at 10am!

We're on our way to @sonicconuk.com! Say hi if you see me. I have trading cards!

OVA Halloween

For those of you heading to @sonicconuk.com tomorrow... don't miss the Sonic Stadium Origins / History Panel! 📍 Sonic Stage (Champagne Suite) 🕰️ 10:35am 📆 Friday 1 November See you there!

New video! I analysed a decade of The Game Awards to uncover the surprising trends behind what games win, and answer if there's a TGA equivelent to "Oscar Bait". 📼 youtu.be/APgWxCdGI5A

Happy Halloween!! Here’s 3+ hours of Resident Evil history, trivia, and weird, WEIRD ports! Spanning 15 years of SSFF videos, with corrections and updates added in! youtu.be/ZWv2u4N9zwk

Piggle cuddles!

I think I forgot to post this Rouge.

So, today I'm announcing a new book project... and doing a call for papers: crpgbook.wordpress.com/2025/10/31/t... It's an anthology of video game history outside the usual US perspective - an accessible & exciting panorama of different realities - and I'll pay 300 USD per article. Please share :)

I run this test on all of my PlayStation 5 DualSense controllers.

Jon beautifully explains so many thoughts I've so far been unable to articulate. Very good video.

End of an era.

Stevie has an epic lineup of awesome stuff! Go buy it all!

The Astro Bot controller is gorgeous! This is going to be my new daily driver.

I think we need to accept that "bad" =/= made by Gen AI. Humans are capable of making mistakes. If anything, it's often the slip ups that make creative works feel more human. When something is "perfect", it falls straight into the uncanny valley for me.

holy shit, I did not realise axyz was in the 200 hidden gems on steam. that is. so. fucking. COOL.* *go review it and make it higher plz xoxo

I entirely blame / thank @austineruption.bsky.social for this purchase.

"I DON'T NEED YOU TO FUCKING REWRITE WHAT I'VE JUST WRITTEN!"

When we migrated to BlueSky, I wondered, "How long until this place becomes just as bad as the last?" But you know what? I still really like it over here and a big part of that is down to the people posting and the lack of an algorithm. All I see is a feed of art and games. Good job, everyone!

As always, RAM on the Rocks was a really good listen. It's criminal that this episode only has (a very nice) 69 views and the channel's only at 127 subs. Go listen to @wayneisboss.bsky.social's show! It's a great time, really chilled. youtu.be/h8JDV-DYfGc?...
