new video! I think forza motorsport is a neat series and I am going to miss it if rumours of its death turn out to be true. I'm paying tribute to these games by talking about race tracks for a bit, and why and how these games taught me to love real-life motorsport

on the offchance anyone's reading this hoping for updates on first party PS1 games 1998

I was waiting until the SuperStation One was going to arrive before starting, purely because I thought I'd have more fun with playing these games on a CRT while being able to record from HDMI as well

some things you don't expect to hear said by random strangers but the old boy on the till in the charity shop telling me about his addiction to going online and buying sega saturn consoles and games was very high on that list

these nights are always so funny, staying up till 4am for 3 announcements I care about at most, knowing that I'm going to spend 2026 playing wipeout 2097 or whatever as I normally do, wouldn't miss it for the world

thanks geoff x

nagoshi spinoff yakuza is cool but in like a "holy shit two cakes" situation

(unless stranger than heaven is bad in a YK3 way I reserve that right)

(unless like a nagoshi is the same)

labrinth doing a collab with sonic to do a remix of *marble zone* is the stupidest missed opportunity ever

my instinct that everyone's opinion on games is unique and valid

vs

podcast I just listened to where all three hosts agree that PS1 games are pointless to play because their cutscenes don't have mocapped actors

not my normal tuesday activity but not done this for a long time and it was a lot of fun

got tomorrow off work so after F1 had an evening in the pub, just got home and finally reflecting on the fact that lando norris is the world champion, maybe it's the pints but just saying it puts a big daft grin on my face

thrilled about this, genuinely

the 2019 rookies were all such a breath of fresh air, 2020 lockdown streams and austria, ended my favourite driver's career in 21 and 22, been in that team from their shite days through to their championships, ended a 17 year drought

this is what it's about man

I don't often compliment mclaren tactics but it's quite funny that by being weird they've left max 20 seconds in the lead and unable to play any games at the moment
December 7, 2025 at 2:17 PM
whatever troubles you, just remember:
December 6, 2025 at 11:15 PM
we need a scientific investigation into how mclaren are so bad at this
November 30, 2025 at 5:30 PM
they don't make em like this anymore (I have not played this game this is just about the art)
November 30, 2025 at 1:07 PM
smb the lost levels is the funniest game of all time man

only bearable with rewind cheats but hilarious if you're using em

just rewatched that clip of vettel naming all the champions for grill the grid and the thing is, while I accept that he and I are weird for being able to do that and don't actually mean this, I do also think that everyone who's into F1 should be able to, just as a matter of historical curiosity
November 14, 2025 at 7:44 PM
wait are they adding a video game to gran turismo 7 now
November 11, 2025 at 10:38 PM
been on a strange arc of finally actually finishing some NES games. seen these games/endings a million times and I cheated my ass off with NSO rewinds and the like but it feels important that I have technically finished these games myself now

thought I'd humour nintendo a bit this evening, not really messed around much with tabletop mode before but it does work pretty well for relaxing with a low impact small screen if you've broken your attention span that badly

dog face controller still sucks though
November 2, 2025 at 9:42 PM
don't know if you guys know this but this is a good video game
October 30, 2025 at 11:30 PM
put out a video that featured my gamertag on screen, I guess this was to be expected at some point

"you can't even truly understand sonic until you understand the rich arcade racing game ecosystem which birthed him"

if truer words ever spoken it's news to me

you wouldn't want to disappoint the humble youtube commenter would you
