I know there are people who are cynical about any crossovers they see in games or movies.
But then there are people like me who thought this was fucking excellent. 10 of the most fun minutes I've had in a video game all year.

Fortnite’s latest live event just did Ready Player One better than Ready Player One. Absolutely loved it. Just uploading a video for those who don’t / can’t play it

Bought an Xbox Series X/S game code last week. Got a code for the Xbox One version instead.
Contact support and they said it would be "forwarded to the seller". Had no idea they didn't sell them directly.
Week later, can't log into my account.

Heads up, Picross fans - the Capcom and SNK versions released today are muuuuch cheaper on the Japanese eShop (£8.71 versus £16.19 on the UK eShop).
Briefly tried the Capcom one last night, it's got a few massive 30x30 puzzles which is lovely

Because he died before its release, Owen Hart is the only character who can’t bleed in WWF Attitude
i was going through my X archives and found this by @superpodsaga.com, which I qrt'd at some point years ago
so, let me bring the question back: what is the most useless piece of video game knowledge you know?

Right, as promised, here's 30 personal recommendations from yer man Scullion for the current Black Friday sale on the UK Nintendo eShop.
To stress: this is the UK sale. Some of these will be in the US too, but not all are.
It's also far from an exhaustive list!

A number of years ago I posted a huge thread giving my recommendations for games to pick up on the Nintendo eShop Black Friday sale (the UK one).
Considering there are 2,777 games in the sale this time, are folk up for me picking through it and giving my recommendations again?

But when it comes to these I would genuinely rather have no feet.

I get this ALL the time on social media. I think because I’m sometimes self-deprecating on here and because there’s now a lot of chummy chat available on the VGC Podcast, some people think they can joke about my weight, how I raise the kid etc. There’s a line between being friendly and being friends
