Reanimal is SO Little Nightmares 3 in all but name. Same basic game, feel, atmosphere; everything. Right down to things like discarded human skins being draped around exactly like the empty clothes were in LN2.

One weekend, two ball games and a fancy concert hall gig.

The @torontobluejays.bsky.social smashed the Yankees (although it got a little squeaky during the 7th in Game 2), and Queens of the Stone Age put on an enthralling, stripped down, intimate show.

Here's to last minute weekend escapes!

Kenny Who?

Writers John Wagner & Alan Grant and artist Cam Kennedy saw the potential dangers of AI art back in the mid-80s. Dredd stories were always prescient but this one hits hard today. See also America.

Damn THQNordic just put on a great showcase.

Feels like the publisher is finally hitting its stride.

And no, they did not pay me money to say that 🙄

Was hoping for actual Darksiders gameplay reveal, and seems like they’re going coop for this one… iffy on that.

It's a week of beginnings and endings at DG HQ...

First off, we welcomed @cmking400.bsky.social, who joined the media team as account manager.

And, after 2+ years, we're saying "sayonara" to the legendary
@yabunai.bsky.social, who is off on an exciting adventure. You'll be missed!

We're sad to see Erik go, but when he told us what the future held, we would probably have kicked him out the door ourselves, it's that exciting! 😄
Heya! This is my last week at Dead Good PR.

I’ve grown and gained so much experience during my time with the team. It’s also been so so great meeting all the amazing folks on the press side.

What’s next for me is still gaming related, but an itty bit different.

Keep in touch!

I will never not understand how a minority of people have decided that wind farms - significantly prettier than pylons, coal power plants, nuclear power plants, and almost certainly fusion power plants - are ugly. In terms of energy generation, what else are you hoping for that is better?
On holiday, I notice that there are wind turbines on the shore of Lake Garda, which very much makes me think that residents with a view of some incredibly mid Cotswold or other can put a sock in it.

Ashes to ashes, and your mum says hi...

It's been a memorable DbD season, but clearly I need to be playing more Killer during this next one.

I have been affected by the recent restructures at Bethesda, After an amazing 8 years i am on the lookout for new opportunities in Community, Marketing, and beyond. Slide into those DM's for a chat.

It's been an incredible run. Very proud of what was achieved.

After getting screwed by Unbound I felt the need to make and publish something myself, without corporate scumbags profiting off my hard work, so the positive response to this has been highly encouraging. CHEERS.

One of the greatest-ever Hulk covers can’t have been seen by too many non-UK readers. And it’s surely a shame to miss out on Arnaldo Putzu’s fabulous painting - for June 2nd 1979’s Look-In - featuring Bill Bixby’s David Bruce Banner transforming into Lou Ferrigno’s Incredible Hulk.
