I'm unbelievably chuffed to be part of one of my favourite podcasts. Huge thanks to @paulmmcooper.bsky.social for giving me a shot!

My parents love cryptic crosswords, so this Christmas I wrote one for them and my sister (her idea) relating to pets, Christmas, and books. Proper chuffed with myself - just hope they can solve them! 😅

Hey I reviewed Kirby Air Riders! The more time I spent with it, the more I appreciated just how oddball it is for a racing game. As much a toy as a game. Feels very strange to be playing it more than 20 years after enjoying the original as a dorky teenager. www.restart.run/articles/kir...

By the way, it's National Editor Appreciation Day.
Nobody ever reads a great article and thinks, "Dang, that was some tight editing." But editing is a big part of how it got to be great.
So writers, if you've ever worked with a good editor, shout 'em out.

Lex's review is a far more engaging, action-packed affair than anything I've encountered in the campaign thus far.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is a soulless and soul-destroying game that thinks exceptionally little of its players and developers.
