I had the opportunity to work with Millie more times than I can count over the years. She’s a bloody joy and a total f’n gremlin. Whether in NXT or the Indies, if you’ve seen her and can dig out a few quid to support her during a scary as fuck time, that’d be aces.

This was my first Chapter Finale, and bar a crash for the 'introducing Chapter 7' video, the actual gameplay and experience was smooth and flawless and absolutely fuckin' stupid. After the crash when I logged back in, it said 9.2M people logged in. That's... a lot.

Released this Tuesday by Penguin Random House / DC Comics.
With Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman & more - even the Joker - after three decades I'm back in Metropolis and Gotham City in November with KINGDOM COME by Mark Waid and Alex Ross, a fully cast, cinematic audio drama from DC and Penguin Random House Audio, with music by my SANDMAN pal James Hannigan.

Later than planned but the Dark Pictures Anthology continues shortly over on twitch.tv/underconsolepod as we explore the House of Ashes. I don't remember buying this house...

Still hoping to stream today but I have been hopping back and forth across London this afternoon due to hardware failure, so need a brief period of time to sit down and gather myself.

It’s a girthy one! Apologies to Jeff for the edit he may have, and to anyone who listens to it… I’ve spent over 5 years accumulating head detritus on gaming in the early to mid 90s, and a lot of that falls out during this. Although I did forget which year GamesMaster began in… 🤦♂️
