One of the last Nick shared with me was a recommendation to play Evil Egg. It’s a great roguelike take on Robotron and is absolutely free. Give it a download if you can.

Spent the last hour rewatching our old mag videos that we used to do about 9 years ago on Youtube. Laughing and crying a lot. Miss you, Nick.

Everyone have a good weekend? I watched Zootropolis 2 (great), Fountain Of Youth (terrible) played some Sektori, Evil Egg and The Witcher III, bought some Xmas presents and went birdwatching. Quite the packed weekend for me.

Didn’t spot the Pink-footed Goose but saw the Black-necked Grebe and loads of Great White Egrets.

Hey @valvesoftware.com can you please fix the Steam Deck bug so that games actually output in 5.1 and not stereo.
I don’t think that’s a lot to ask from a £500+ machine.

Can’t wait for all The Stranger Things hype to dull down, it’s such an overrated series and it’s bloody everywhere at the moment.

It suffers a little from being a mobile game and the visuals aren't the best, but if you want a modern-day Space Harrier with an amazing Queen-sounding score, Air Twister is highly recommend for the £4 is costs on Steam currently.

Streaming Services are such a joke. Paramount owns the mission impossible films, but two of them are missing, three of the Scream films are missing, 4 of the Friday the 13th films and so on. What’s the point.

So I restarted Witcher 3 over the weekend. I've only met three of the main female protagonists so far and two of them are naked in your first interactions with them. Is that a theme that continues throughout the rest of the game because none of the men aside from Geralt have been in the buff so far.

I got an email earlier telling me about the great deals this Black Friday season. Love to see corporates stretching the definition of a word in order to fill their coffers. Reminds me of how opening weekends for films now start on the Monday before 😆

Good Morning Britain normally have a pro and con person when discussing debates. There was a discussion about trans women competing in female events earlier and the only people discussing it are both against trans women being in female sports. Ironically, they want equality in female sports 🤦🏻♂️
