Thank you, @thebonuspoints.com !! The show and the community really helped me through a tough time and i’m so so grateful for it… Love yall 🥹❤️

With the Game of the Year episode live now, that’s a wrap on The Bonus Points. Thanks for the last 4 years, it’s been a blast.

Was kinda dreading recording all the games for our GOTY episode but it’s a nice reminder of why we picked them

Watch this Lumines Arise preview and Enhance studio visit from The Bonus Points! Thanks Oli and Joe for stopping by and checking out the game!!💜🙏🏻 @thebonuspoints.com bit.ly/4nJTQlD

Rare Item Studio was one of the best stores we went to in Japan. It is a retro game store but has more of a cozy vibe rather than the usual claustrophobic one. A bit out of the way in Akihabara, but worth the effort to find! They also had vinyl and books.

Shinjuku this evening. Absolutely chucked it down so only a couple of quick pics! (Godzilla is behind me and Joe!)

Gion then! 🇯🇵

Had a lovely time talking to @thebonuspoints.com about Ludocene and suggesting Abla: A Wildlife Adventure for their top games list. Glad they loved it as much as I did. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bDFt...

Loved the bonus episode @thebonuspoints.com , Obra Dimwits was such a great series! ( although from the looks of that ending, there’s more to come )

Future (and past) guest Andy Robertson has recently released a book! Check it out below 👇
