Finished it in 11 seconds mate.

That's probably the best in the world, but it's not my job to check.

I really like the fun the Grey Alien team are having with this. Looking forward to checking out the demo.
A public demo of the banned 1995 CD-ROM ‘Forbidden Solitaire’ is being leaked TOMORROW on #Steam.

Authorities advise gamers to exercise extreme caution. Campaign groups, such as ‘Justice for Timmy,’ go further: urging players to delete all traces of the software if they are tempted to install it.

Rhell is ridiculously good fun. Looking forward to seeing these very professional gamers tackle it.

You too can join the fun - updated demo available here: store.steampowered.com/app/3833720/...

Just finished Assassin's Creed Shadows about four hours after I thought I'd finished Assassin's Creed Shadows.

Took a while to get going and a while to end but very enjoyable once I'd levelled up a bit.

Excellent on Switch 2 fyi.

Oh the stories I could have told.
Finally, it's here! The Oral History of Guitar Hero, Rock Band and the Music Game Boom from @metallicaisrad.bsky.social and @readonlymemory.com, this means a lot to me because GH and RB are the games that would eventually inspire me to become a game developer myself.

Nothing more traditional in January than QPR fans concentrating on the league.

Of course, Maraoke fans are well versed in their Sega history already, thanks to Joel's incredible 'Hey Ya' re-write.

Was at the darts yesterday. Amazing fun obviously. But one of the many things you don't get from TV is how the room _smells_. 10/10 would darts again.

Games we loved 2025. Surprised to see a game for perverts make the cut.

(I guess... I've not played it obviously, because I'm not a pervert.)

Missed this release date announcement last week - Replaced out March 12th next year.

I had this all-but signed at Curve but it unravelled due to _factors_. Looked incredible then, looks incredible still - can't wait.
