I remember first covering the gaming BAFTAs as a baby journalist way back in 2016, so it feels pretty surreal to now be on the voting panel.
Congrats to everyone else who's been approved. Catch you at happy hour for a BEERFTA

Konichiwa, Tokyo.
It is currently 32 degrees, raining AND a whopping 94% humidity?
No idea what's going on here, but I've been here an hour and I'm pretty sure you've already defeated me. Fair play, Japan.

Today I had the pleasure of interviewing the one and only Tony Hawk for a second time - and It was awesome to finally meet the living legend in person.
Cheers for all the formative memories, Birdman - and for forever shaping (and greebifying) my music taste.
Interview in The Guardian soon.

Death Stranding 2's launch event was a great time.
From Norman Reedus and Lea Seydeoux rocking up to the panel, to surprise sets from Caroline Polachek and Chrvches, tonight felt like a launch event from a bygone era.

When we launched The NES-ential Celebration kickstarter 11 days ago, I didn't know what to expect. Would people be as excited as we were?
It turns out, they were! We smashed our £3500 target in 10 minutes, & are now at £94,000.
Thank you to all the backers x
