Geoff Keighley outed as a dickhead once again?
Shocker.

This guy should not have his fingers in several pies in 2025.

SegaSonic Cosmo Fighter was an arcade game that was released in Japan and Australia.

This game is notable for being one of the first instances of Sonic and Dr. Eggman speaking in-game. Their voices are very...unique interpretations of them.

Went to Manchester today, and I found myself walking and visiting some places I used to go to during my daily work breaks in the IT job, around 2018.

Felt like I had time travelled. Oddly eerie. And good.

I've been watching this many times this year for 'reasons', and yeah
Doing the annual rewatch of The Thing. I’ve felt this bit in my bones for the last decade and it hits harder on every watch.

Playing the Medievil Remake today.
The series doesn’t get spoken about enough.
The sequel, even less.

But, the LCD display!!
In its first few months on sale, Switch 2 outpaced the PS4, the PS5 and the original Switch - and Nintendo only expects things to get better www.eurogamer.net/in-its-first...

May just be me, but the PS5 UI does a horrible job of being clear in what you actually own, and what you have via PS Plus.

I was sure I could only buy Tekken 7 again by buying the disc - but it's letting me download the full game, including the DLC. No PS Plus icon.
