A Valnet site was my first paid games writing gig. It was miserable, thankless work that paid next to nothing. I barely like using that site in my portfolio (I don't have it listed in my bio, either) None of this is particularly surprising

No I don't need this, stop tempting me, Good Smile, you harlots

"We're sorry that we left things so uncertain for trans people and we hope this new guidance makes it abundantly clear that we fucking hate you" That's what this says. I am never voting for Labour again. This is disgusting fucking behaviour

Maybe if we yell the name every time people might buy them

So the three frontline challengers to Keir Starmer (allegedly) are a man who'd have to be shiftily installed into Parliament first, a woman who'd be instantly torn apart by the press over a past scandal and a man who's even more right wing than Starmer. Maybe the problem is Labour overall?

Motorslice, Mixtape, Dead as Disco – Games Release Roundup This week, machinery, mixtapes and musical martial arts.

it took me too long to realize that this was "horseshit" censored and not new slang i didn't know about yet where "horses" meant bad

11th hour plea aside, there's a lot of Parliamentary driven rhetoric here, despite this being a LOCAL election Are my current Labour council going to fix ANY potholes, Keir? You have no answer for that? Cool, I'm going to vote for my current Green councillor who IS ACTUALLY DOING HIS JOB

Moomintroll, Saros, Invincible – Games Release Roundup This week, Moomins, time loops and superhero fights.

NEW GAMES! After two busy weeks, we have a much quieter week where much of the chatter has been dominated by two weird indie games, although Game of the Week is Kiln, a pottery battler from Double Fine! Read more: geekybrummie.com/gaming/kiln-...

Playing Fatal Frame 2 Remake and the Kiryu House feels very different in this post-Yakuza world

Related: any editor that needs this reviewing in July and needs someone with extensive experience with the series? Let's chat

YEEEEEEESSSSSSSS

Pragmata, Replaced, Tomodachi Life – Games Release Roundup This week, a sci-fi double bill, animal detectives and deranged Mii conversations.

NEW GAMES! This week, a whole bunch of interesting indie releases, but mostly, you should be playing the latest Game of the Week, People of Note! geekybrummie.com/gaming/peopl...

Shared some thoughts on People of Note over on Siliconera. It's good! www.siliconera.com/people-of-no...

I went back and forth on where to place the Jesus game because, you know, Easter, so maybe it should be a headliner, but also, it does look pretty terrible (I mean, the new Legacy of Kain sounds terrible too but not quite in the same way)

Counterpoint: no.

While looking up the I Am Jesus Christ trailer, YouTube's recommended search brought up I Am Astro Bot and now I'm imagining the Jesus game with that as its theme tune (with the name changed, obviously)

MindsEye is such a fascinating story. How a leadership team so demonstrably unhinged managed to (mostly) ship a game is something I think needs to be investigated

Year 10 – Issue 02 of The Geeky Brummie Podcast! Join Geeky Brummie as we look forward to a cavalcade of Geeky Brummie events happening in Birmingham and beyond across Spring & Summer. Keith & Ryan pick some Comic and TV highlights back from our launch year geekybrummie.com/issues/geeky...

Did you enjoy Yakuza Zero? Then you should be playing Promise Mascot Agency. Do you enjoy business sims like Reccetear? Then you should be playing Promise Mascot Agency. Do you enjoy driving a Warthog around a Halo map? Then you should be playing Promise Mascot Agency.

"How can we make AI sound more appealing to the masses that keep rejecting it?" "Make a chatbot and use the word Slimey in there somewhere" "Genius idea, sir"

The demo added an extra ghost fight, that makes Fatal Frame 2 remake distinct enough from the original to be eligible for Game of the Week. I don't make the rules (I actually do but shush)

Each? Hell yeah free money news.sky.com/story/playst...

NEW GAMES! Covering the past two weeks, Paranormasight: The Mermaid's Curse and Resident Evil Requiem lead the latest batch of releases. geekybrummie.com/gaming/resid...

If you think Evangelion was convoluted enough as it is, expect it to get even worse (complimentary)

Translation: it's good AI if I do it, so expect it everywhere

Ryan chats to David Massey aka @BrumHour who's been promoting the best of Birmingham since 2013. Leigh and Sam pick some Video game and Film highlights back from our launch year in 2016. Keith preps us in readiness for the launch of HBO MAX in the UK on the 26th of March

2025 is coming to a close, so here are my favourite games of the year, in video form Enjoy! youtu.be/QtEcerGGg6o

It's kinda mindbending seeing so many people act like timed hits/defence being the invention of Clair Obscur, when it was THE cornerstone of the Mario RPG series starting back in 1996, and probably used in some earlier games too.

Tonight I will be watching the Geoffies the way they're meant to be watched: periodically checking the Tomb Raider subreddit for whatever trailer shows up (if I fall asleep before that happens, I'll check it in the morning)
