Only thing saving that Nintendo Direct was Fire Emblem & Mario Tennis looking like a proper game again and not barebones.

I'll be getting Metroid Prime 4, but that showing was NOT good.

Visited the lovely, newly opened section of the Marina Park at the weekend and noticed this part. Any idea what's going on here with this ramp? It just ... ends. Is is not continuing up to meet the greenway? They run into problems or something?

Played #Rematch for the first time for a couple of hours last night. This is so much fun.

Mind you, I'm not brilliant AT it. lol

Started a rewatch of Firefly/Serenity when I got a bad case of covid about a month ago. Badly needed some comfort viewing & hadn't rewatched in about 10 years.

Can confirm it's still fucking brilliant and has one of the best character ensembles ever. The ending of Serenity still chokes me up.

Happily packed away my #Xbox Series S today. Haven't played it since Indiana Jones in December, anyway, and doubtful ever to use it again.

Microsoft can go do one.

How the fuck is Phil Spencer still in a job.

The mismanagement going on at Xbox under his helm for the past decade is just astounding.

Bet he'll get a new bonus or something while all the talented people get shit canned.

If this thing didn't cost almost €500, it would've been flung across the room I swear! lol

My blood pressure cannot take this game. #MarioKartWorld

The cheating computer racers in Mario Kart World can go fuck themselves. There, I said it.

I'm so mad at this silly fucking videogame tonight lol.

But seriously, fuck em.
June 11, 2025 at 10:21 PM
Giving this a go for the first time. See if it's as poor as they say.....

The perks of being sick and housebound for 4 days.

Enjoyed my time with the new #Doom. Very DIFFERENT Doom but I liked it a lot. It didn't really start to click until about halfway though, though, and the story is total nonsense, thank god it can be entirely skipped.

Episodes 8 & 9 of #Andor season 2. Wow. Why can't Star Wars be this good more often?
May 21, 2025 at 9:14 AM
The cut-scenes in #DoomTheDarkAges are great looking n' all, but who the hell asked for this? Who are these characters? What the fuck are they on about? lol

Just drop me into hell, give me some guns and let me kill demons. That's all you need.

Are they trying to turn Doom into Halo or something?

I almost don't have enough time to watch the damn things.

Does this mean I need a 3rd cat for the middle bunk?

No pre-order date & no price for a console that's out in 2 months?!

WTF Nintendo.

5/10 Reveal presentation. Mario Kart, Donkey Kong and the new FromSoftware game are insta-buys. The rest was ports of things I've already played or will get on the PS5 instead.

Damn, what shitty news to wake up to. Tombstone, Heat & Kiss Kiss Bang Bang are some of my favourite movies. Val Kilmer always deserved to be a bigger star than he was.

I don't know why I get excited for these Nintendo Directs. They get me every time and it's always full of garbage that I have no interest in. lol

Roll on next Wednesday!

Metroid Prime 4 looks good, I guess. Although, that was a terrible showcase of it.

Mario & Luigi Brothership.

Enjoying it a lot, but MY GOD, Nintendo should have waited for Switch 2 to release this. A very choppy 30fps and I haven't experienced this much loading going in and out of battles since the PS1 days.

It's still a great game, but needs better hardware.
