I wonder how this guy is doing...
Fair play to the fella for not knowing that Spain also exists in the world 👌

While I've got the energy for it, I've been trying to stream regularly over on Twitch, and it's been great!

But I've also revived my old YouTube channel, turning my stream highlights into YouTube Shorts... I wasn't expecting, for a channel as dead as mine, to see these kinda results! It's nice 😊

I don't think this'll go far, but would the music-folk of Bluesky have any digital piano recommendations around £200 to £400, for a 88 weighted key keyboard?

I've been using the Casio CT S1 for a couple of years, and I love it, but I might be outgrowing it - weighted keys are a must 🥲

My boss got to play Resident Evil Requiem for a few hours, and while I'm totally not at all jealous or upset, what I'm NOT upset about is how amazing RE9 is sounding.

I edited the video version of his preview, and you won't want to miss all the new gameplay shown in it!

Properly playing through The Witcher 3 for the first time, and couldn't believe they threw in Kaitlin Olson's "Sweet Dee" as a character!

I'm really hoping today is the day I can wrest control of the Shieldbreaker from the enemy Wardens, then use it to shatter their keep 🤞😊

Rewatched The Dark Knight, and I had no memories of Batman absolutely merking three rottweilers...

I know he's in the middle of fighting the Joker and all, but Batman has no problem yeeting those dogs into oblivion 💀

I'm in no way as consistent as I should be with the gym, but after a year and a bit of learning to lift, it's sick to see a small percentage of muscle actually happening 💪

I'll obviously play a few of the big hitters out this year, but 2026 is when I clear my back catalogue...

Witcher 3, and Cyberpunk are on my hit list, and if I don't finish them this year, I don't think I ever will!

A real mixed bag, also, gutted to find out there hasn't been an official West End or Broadway recording of Wicked???

So, I edited our gargantuan video version of this list 🫡

It's 55 minutes of pure team green goodness, featuring to camera contributions from @dmc-ryan.bsky.social, @outsidexbox.bsky.social, @havokrose.bsky.social, and more!

A big team effort, both in terms of writers and hosts! Hope you enjoy 🥲

I'd forgotten a new Game of Thrones show was out, it's a world I tuned out of a while ago.

Tonight however, I watched an episode of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms and was genuinely surprised.

Heartwarming in ways, and silly in others. I'm sure the depravity will pop up soon, but so far, very good.

As a kid, The Lord of the Rings, plus 2008's Mount & Blade, got me hooked on everything adventure, swords, and legends.

There might be a cool game behind Knight's Path, but as Kingdom Come showed, when there's a whiff of dodgy remarks, it just sours the whole thing.

Why is this genre like this?
If you’re thinking of supporting this game or the devs in particular, maybe rethink it.

They’re publicly either rejecting or refusing to acknowledge homosexuality, same-sex acts & intimacy and the existence of queer people in medieval history.

I don't understand, business-wise, how something like the Sands of Time remake can be cancelled, despite shifting studios, while Beyond Good and Evil 2 is still apparently being worked on.

How do you make newcomers care about an "upcoming" prequel to a game that's decades old? It's bizarre, man.

Ubisoft's sweeping company restructure will result in the cancelation of six games including its Prince of Persia: Sands of Time remake, a delay to a further seven titles, two studios being closed completely, and others subject to further layoffs. https://bit.ly/4jNAWcW

Some highs, a few "Eh, it's alright" and a massive low - interesting month so far!

Return to Silent Hill fundamentally changes Mary's backstory in such a mind-boggling way that if asked of me, I wouldn't be able to conjure up even as a joke.

Weirdly, it's certainly a film worth watching as a Silent Hill fan, but only to be reminded that the original game and the remake exist.
I've also seen 'Return to Silent Hill,' and it's undoubtedly one of the worst films I've seen in a long time.

As a longtime Silent Hill fan, at least from my perspective, this film butchered a game so deeply adored by many. Genuinely, do not watch this in the cinema.

The best way to increase performance is by slashing staff morale by forcing people to stop working from home, very cool 👍

Does anyone know if Orc City will be making an appearance in this???

I wonder what the decision is to market and publish assets for 60FPS updates on older titles, only for those trailers to be released in 1080P/30FPS?

It's not a massive deal or anything, but like, how and why does this happen 🤷

Far Cry Primal, Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon, and Far Cry 3 are getting a 60fps update on current gen consoles. https://bit.ly/3NzhyEA

Film #04 of 2026, The Rip!

Another film I had no idea was coming out but was pleasantly surprised by.

It's got that seedy SWAT 4/ Ready Or Not vibe going for it, along with some proper tension at times. It's not going to move the needle, but for a Sunday night film? Good pick.

The curse of my renewed interest in Star Wars means that my YouTube feed is filled with titles like "THE DEATH OF STAR WARS" and "KATHLEEN KENNEDY EXPOSED BY XYZ" 😪

Lore YouTubers I used to watch as a teen were absolutely chill, but now only indulge in rage baiting. I just want to watch in peace 🥲

Game #02 of 2026, Star Wars Outlaws!

After 11 hours, one of my 2024 misses is now finished. It didn't offer anything new for an open-world game, and even the story was a little old hat, but I still found myself enjoying my time with Kay Vess and crew...

A solid 6/10, closer to a 7 than a 5!

I've been at IGN for nearly seven years, and this is the only time I've had to leave the studio because I just couldn't stop 🥲

Shout-out to @arbitorian.bsky.social for another 40K IGN banger 🙏

Film #03 of 2026, The Great Flood!

I heard very little about this one, and went in thinking it was a run-of-the-mill disaster film...

It's certainly got some surprises, none of which are as hard-hitting as the film thinks it is. An okay time, closer to being good, rather than bad 🤷
