This is, it's fair to say, one of our favourite videos we've ever done. An adventure on a ridiculous scale that punches well above our weight, taking in two countries, epic landscapes, stupid humour, and a genuine mystery...

Out of curiosity, I risked trying some of that Mr Beast Feastables chocolate last night. Like all American chocolate, it tasted like somebody had thrown up on an advent calendar.

Sonic 4 Episode 1 has the shittest and most obnoxious final boss fight I've ever had the displeasure of experiencing. What a crap game.

Corporal Frank Buckles was the the last surviving American soldier from WWI, passing away in 2011 at age 110. When he was asked his secret for living so long, his advice was simply "when you start to die... don't".
