I've joined @escapistmag.bsky.social as Contributing Editor, starting today 🎉 Excited to get started. PR and pals, I'm on lloyd[at]escapistmagazine[dot]com

Catch me back at Tom's Guide talking about the ROG Xbox Ally, Microsoft's messaging, and why the next generation could be genuinely quite exciting. www.tomsguide.com/gaming/xbox/...

Got to help with an exclusive Pokemon card reveal for IGN, so that's pretty neat! www.ign.com/articles/pok...

Really happy to be back on the Epic Games Store talking @path-of-exile.bsky.social store.epicgames.com/en-US/blog/5...

🙏

I'm back at @gamesradarplus.bsky.social to talk Borderlands 4, Destiny 2, and why I'm drawn to one and not the other right now. www.gamesradar.com/games/border...

Super duper proud to have made my guides debut for IGN, and working on Borderlands 4, no less! My first pieces have _just_ gone live but expect more this week! www.ign.com/wikis/border...

Surprise! I'm back at Dexerto to help out with EA FC 26 wiki coverage. Very cool to be back with the team, even if it is just for a little while. www.dexerto.com/wikis/ea-fc-...

Not only am I really enjoying Silksong, but I’m helping out the lovely folks at Gamesradar with guides over the course of this weekend. Look out for my coverage soon!

#FootballManager26 has been revealed, and you can make the signing of the summer by bringing me into your squad for the new season. Not scouted me yet? Here’s a (very modest) look at my stats ⚽️🧵

Took a look at Helldivers 2 on Xbox for @techradar.com, and can confirm it's just as fun. Wish there was cross-progression, though! www.techradar.com/gaming/helld...

Happy New Path of Exile 2 Update day to everyone who celebrates.

Returned to Kirby and the Forgotten Land for the @techradar.com review of the Switch 2 version, thanks to the delightful @robdwiar.bsky.social www.techradar.com/gaming/kirby...

Catch me talking about running at @techradar.com! www.techradar.com/health-fitne...

Surprising no one, I'm back at Tom's Guide talking Steam Deck. www.tomsguide.com/gaming/handh...

Looking for a guide on Magic's new Spider-Man set and where to buy? Got you covered! www.ign.com/articles/mag...

New NVIDIA drivers seem to have essentially switched off my GPU's HDMI so I have to use the case's HDMI, which would be fine but Path of Exile 2 will only run on my GPU's HDMI 🙃

One of my clients has cut some budget this month, so I’m available for news shifts, guides, and just about anything else for Gamescom and beyond. Looking for an experienced freelancer with great knowledge of gaming across genres and platforms? Let me know! RTs appreciated!

I've been trying rucking, and it's great! Find out why at @techradar.com www.techradar.com/health-fitne...

Starting to feel a little more like myself again 🙏

Back at @techradar.com to talk WWE on Switch 2! www.techradar.com/gaming/ninte...

Jet lag got me building Magic: The Gathering decks, a to-do list the length of my arm, and a workout routine for this week at 2am. Go read my Tennocon coverage! www.dailystar.co.uk/tech/gaming/...

Ryan and @lloydcoombes.bsky.social have been hugely helpful covering The Edge of Fate while I’ve been busy monkeying around with DK and other bits and bobs. A pleasure to have them writing for GR!

Three things are certain in life - death, taxes, and me writing about Destiny 2 wherever I can. www.gamesradar.com/games/destin...

Made my debut on the Epic Games Store today! store.epicgames.com/en-US/news/i...

Surprise! I'm back at @gamesradarplus.bsky.social to talk Destiny 2. www.gamesradar.com/games/destin...

🚨Some news 🚨 I'm moving into full-time freelance, but I'm happy to say that I'll be writing full-time for IGN (and its wider network of sites) as part of that. Expect to see a lot more of me at IGN, Eurogamer, VG247 and RPS every day.

Terrible week for the shower to pack up 🙃

Six years ago, my best friends and I released our final song. Post-hardcore fans, get involved 👀 youtu.be/k7GFBBqtZEE?...

Back at @techradar talking about my first Rune Factory title! www.techradar.com/gaming/rune-...

Went out with some pals to celebrate various cool stuff happening within the group. Excited to talk about my next freelance gig 🙏

I'm back at TechRadar, comparing the Switch 2 to the Steam Deck when it comes to being travel-friendly. www.techradar.com/gaming/why-i...

In one of my last interviews for Daily Star, here's the Borderlands 4 devs on tonal shifts, working with Nintendo, and the evolution of the series. www.dailystar.co.uk/tech/gaming/...

I’ve secured a very, very cool freelance opportunity next month so, while I’m still on the lookout for a permanent role, I’m actually going to be leaving Daily Star a little earlier - on July 8. 1/2

Borderlands 4 is the most refined of the entries so far, and I'm very excited to play this with pals. www.dailystar.co.uk/tech/gaming/...

Totally missed that Front Mission 3 Remake got a release date?!? Need someone to review this? I'm your guy! www.nintendo.com/en-gb/Games/...

Very cool to review a whole console for a national newspaper! www.dailystar.co.uk/tech/gaming/...

Spruced up the ol' portfolio. Looking for a writer that can cover just about anything in gaming, tech, fitness, movies, music, or more? Get in touch! muckrack.com/lloyd-coombe...

Don’t get me wrong, I’m really glad that this kind of story is being written by the BBC, but this time last year there was an awful lot of handwringing and lip service as small and mid-sized publishers laid off staff or closed down entirely. www.bbc.com/future/artic...

Amazon has “lost” my Final Fantasy MTG preorder at the depot 20 mins from my home, so no Commander Decks for me 🙃🙃🙃 (I’m not paying those ridiculous prices) Here’s hoping prices come down in the next few weeks.

Huge thanks to @WargamerCom for giving me a chance to talk MTG's Final Fantasy set, and my love of Clive www.wargamer.com/magic-the-ga...

Happy #MagicTheGathering x Final Fantasy day! To celebrate, you can expect some stuff from me going live today. First up, a little about the latest Secret Lair drops for this set at @ign.com (still can't believe I get to say that) www.ign.com/articles/whe...

Thankful to have got into the swing of freelance big time over the last couple of days. In the last 24 hours, I've worked on content for IGN, VG247, RPS, Eurogamer, TechRadar, and Macworld. Grateful for opportunities afforded to me at a time when I was feeling a bit lost 🙏

Some sad news, but I now know my contract at Daily Star will (definitely) come to an end next month. I've absolutely loved my time here, and as sad as I am to be going, I've got nothing but good things to say.

Looking after the #NintendoSwitch2 live blog today, so get me your Qs and comments! Stock updates, game impressions, and much more to come www.dailystar.co.uk/tech/gaming/...

Can’t believe Mario visited my house to drop this off.

Made my debut over at @vg247.bsky.social, neat! www.vg247.com/monopoly-go-...

Very thankful to have had the chance to play the #NintendoSwitch2 last week, and have a trio of previews to share. 🧵 Firstly, why the Switch 2 is perhaps more exciting than you may realise. www.dailystar.co.uk/tech/gaming/...

Thank you @magic.wizards.com - unbelievable levels of excitement.

Had a cracking day with Sonic and pals at SEGA’s new office, more to come 👀
