I watched the final "special".
The paedo file episode and it is possibly the most hilarious and horrifying thing to have ever been put to screen.

Go on, experience it 👇🏻

By your mid-forties you should have assembled a number of chronic pains and given them nicknames.

Being in your 40s means calculating every celebrity death against your own age -constantly-.

I'm 46 this year and have developed a new pain in my right wrist that's not been there before so obviously this is it for me.

I had to add the arrow because otherwise you’d just say to yourself “well, not that handsome man?” and not realise I’m talking about the building 👇

Sad this has turned.
I was meant to be VIP for the Berlin show as I was producer on some of the music played 😔
instead of arguing subjective video game opinions or throwing around sales numbers, this feels like actual tangible evidence that we’ve been playing it too safe for the last 10 years

and that’s without mentioning the key art is definitely just a buncha people-looking people

Still free on PS+ for those who want to play the most overspecced game to ever release on a PSP.

KILLZONE: LIBERATION
Defeated the tank while on foot for the trophy in Killzone: Liberation. Of course, I didn’t realize it was going to go boom lol.

Wife just left the house with a "see ya later, alligator".

I couldn't let that stand and called her back. I am not a large, semi-aquatic, predatory reptile. I am a man, dammit.

Can we talk about that the Gold medalists for Bobsledding are called "Holer" and "Meatbeater"?

My wife has a labubu.
Every time I think the words "my wife's labubu" I think of Oprah Winfrey coming up with safe for TV words for vagina.

Anyway here's her labubu.
