Earlier this month, I had the chance to hop onto a call with David Bateson, Agent 47 himself!

It was, genuinely, one of the coolest things I've done in a while and by the end of it? Well, we got Tobias Rieper reacting to a bunch of silly memes over on IGN - please enjoy 🙏

I've worked on close to 800 videos while at IGN, but recently, I've been enjoying doing a bit more on-camera work!

This Call of Duty Campaigns Ranked video is one of the latest examples of that, which I'm actually kind of proud of 🙏

Introducing my fiancée to The X Files, we're a few episodes in, and this goofy ass drawing pops up.

I'd love to know which people in 1993 thought this was genuinely creepy.

I've had a lot of fun bits in storage for ages, and this 1/12-scale General Grievous kit was one of them!

I'm finally in a space where I can find a little place for him in my office ♥️

I've returned to the IGN UK Podcast to chat more silliness, and as you can probably tell, there's a lot to speak about this week 🙏

As is tradition, this sounds like a massive regression of what made the prior Black Ops so fun.

A fully cooperative Call of Duty is something I'd love to play in the future, but so far, it sounds like Black Ops 7 is just a good reminder to check out other co-op PvE military shooters instead...

With satisfying gunplay and very fun movement abilities providing solid foundations, there’s a reasonable mix of styles on show in Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, even if it doesn’t fire on all cylinders 100% of the time.

I'm seeing people describe Call of Duty: Black Ops 7's campaign as a playable episode of Skibidi Toilet, which is probably the biggest turn-off you could label a game with.

Not sure where this ranks within the best IGN social graphics ever made, but this is pretty high up on the rankings.

I was recently reminded of NVIDIA's Eye Contact AI thingy, and decided to give it a go...

Scary stuff, it looks like I've seen things you wouldn't believe 💀

An option to lock doors that you've opened. There's something extremely satisfying about doing it, and so far, I can only think of Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth, SWAT/Ready or Not, and Amnesia: The Bunker...

I'm not even trying to take the piss, I genuinely desire this in more games 🫢

Streamed a bit of Fahrenheit: Indigo Prophecy tonight, but this time, using the Elgato Prompter, and it was genuinely game-changing!

It doubles as another monitor, so you can slap anything up on it, like Twitch chat - I bloody love toys like this.

So, with Dispatch... Everyone removed Sonar from the Z Team, right?

Got a couple of mates over, and we all decided to watch three episodes of All's Fair starring Kim Kardashian...

Genuinely a hilarious time. It's an incomprehensible mess that you can't stop watching and laughing at. It also features the most jaw-dropping wardrobe choice I've ever seen in a TV show.

Perfect 👍

Partially painted my office, and sorted out a vaguely decent backdrop for my future work and streaming endeavours!

Behind the power of zooming in, plus purple and blue lights, is a mess of moving boxes and bags, but the viewers will never know 🤫

Finally watched 28 Years Later, and I really wasn't expecting a bunch of zombie-killing Jimmy Savile ninjas to make an appearance...

The console gaming landscape is essentially a flat no-man's land these days. Get yourself a decent pre-built PC, wait for Sony and Xbox exclusives to arrive on Steam, and grab a Nintendo Switch.

It's literally all you need these days, I didn't think I'd actually miss console wars.

Surprised myself this past weekend by playing Plants vs. Zombies: Replanted for hours on end in co-op.

I haven't even played PVZ before, but recently, the likes of Battlefield and Bloodlines 2 haven't been hitting, and somehow this did. The simpler the better, I guess.

Plants vs. Zombies: Replanted has arrived, and we've got 38 minutes of intense plant versus zombie action!

Today is a good day...

I just found out that CityFibre are installing gigabit-capable networks in my building, and soon that sweet, sweet 1.2Gbps download and upload speeds will be mine 🙏

500 Mbps is for SUCKERS!

MindsEye is horrible, incredibly entertaining and might be one of the more memorable games I've finished this year.

No one sets out to make an awful game, but after hearing directly from a developer who worked on it... Well, it's safe to say it certainly wasn't sabotage that scuppered the game.
MindsEye boss alleges "saboteurs" within the company were behind its poor reception, according to new report

After a couple of hours playing Bloodlines 2, I've come to the conclusion this shouldn't have been called Bloodlines 2 😬

Bloodlines is an RPG through and through, but this is a few perk points, a lot of fast paced action, and not a whole load of consequences. It's okay, and that's kinda sad TBH.
Loaded up Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2, and within minutes, I'm hearing about a fella called Dale.

Even while exploring the snowy rooftops of Seattle, I can't escape my boss 😪

I've now had the pleasure of video editing three separate Charlie Lopresto features on IGN, and this is another banger.

I love a good retrospective, and Charlie knows how to craft a bite sized, funny and informative one! So please do give it a watch/read.

Took a little while, but I've finally finished watching The Sopranos, and that ending? I loved it, but the reaction back when it aired must've been insanely divisive - I wish I could've experienced it!

I'm gutted it's over, and now I desperately want more of it 🥲
I'm three episodes away from my first watch of The Sopranos being over, I'm not ready 😪

What's next, Boardwalk Empire, The Wire, Fargo??? There's so much I haven't seen 😬
