I've already gushed about how much I love Astro Bot but they've really spoilt us with the amount extra levels (and guest bots) as Free DLC.

It's bittersweet that there's no more content coming for it, but I had so much fun from start to finish. One of the best games I've ever played.

An amazing £1 vinyl pickup today. It’s one for the Gen X and elder-Millennials out there.

The day I’ve had today was enough to clog an airplane toilet but one act of kindness from a completely awesome source was the plunger that cleared the crap and salvaged an otherwise terrible day.

Would be pretty embarrassing if I admitted that I backed the wrong horse when leaving the dead bird app, wouldn’t it?

It's a shame the "Principal Skinner isn't really Principal Skinner" episode gets such a bad rap, as it has some of the best back-to-back jokes of any Simpsons episode to date.

@emerygx.bsky.social You’ve disappeared on the other app. Everything ok?

I should probably start utilising this account a bit more, eh?

Any tips from the community?

Went to check out the Christmas decorations at the garden centre today. I find it impossible that anyone living in my neck of the woods had a big enough house for some one the stuff on display.

12 foot trees and lights that look like they’re straight off the Las Vegas strip!

Remember when “The Video Game Shop” destroyed all of its retro game stock?

Here’s my new video talking about that.

Have you ever gone to a gig by yourself?
I’m booked to see Alien Ant Farm in London this month and I’ll be flying solo.

CKY were also supposed to be playing this show but the singer acted a fool & they’ve been kicked off. Replaced by InMe, which I’m actually really pleased with!

I’ve just learned that the ibuprofen I took at 6:30am were not ibuprofen. They were in fact anti-diarrhoea tablets.
Looks like I won’t be taking a shit for a few days now.

Here’s the fun I have lined up for this evening.

Please interact to let me know you’re seeing this and would like me to transfer over from the dead ‘bird’ app.

Congrats @pixelbandits.bsky.social

Guys, if you want to see some classic PS1 games played on the original hardware enhanced only by impeccable British humour, you really should check PB’s stream out sometime.
We hit 500 followers over on #Twitch during last night's stream. I wanted to take a moment to say thank you to each and every one one of our PB followers here as well.

I love sharing our gaming journey with you, and hearing about your journeys as well as you share them with us (and each other!).

You likely know that every Pixel Bandits review comes with a Parent's Guide, covering any troubling content in each title.

Did you also know about the Family Gaming Database? This is another excellent resource to help parents make informed decisions.

Starfield players:
I’ve done all faction quest lines and I’m right at the very end of the main story.
Once I’ve finished, I’ll be putting the game down for good.

I wanted to marry Andreja first though. Any tips on how to force the quest to begin? Been waiting ages!

There’s literally an episode of Always Sunny about this very tactic.
