The oldest loved playing VC games on the Wii when he was a kid and still enjoys a blast through Sonic 2 every now and again and beats me at Soulcalibur. The youngest quite enjoys beating me at SWOS and Perfect Dark. The 3 of us like to play Fortnite together too.

I banned Roblox not because of questionable content but because it’s crap. It looks and plays like a knock-off Lego set from Wilkinsons. I made it my mission to make sure my kids have actual taste in video games and have largely succeeded.

My youngest is 13 and was banned from Roblox from the start. He has quite eclectic tastes, playing a lot of Hades 2 and Balatro recently interspersed with Minecraft. He also loves Zelda, Splatoon, EDF, Diablo 3, Horizon, Clash of Clans, Vampire Survivor and Forza to name but a few.

My oldest is 18 and grew up through the ‘golden age’ of family gaming with the Wii and Kinect. He later became rather good at Fortnite but doesn’t play much anymore.

ANDREAS, a cheat code for Nuclear Strike on the PS1 appears to do nothing yet it acts as a level skip provided you completed the previous level beforehand. So you could finish the first mission, skip the second and then play the third.

No idea why this exists.

The backstory of Horizon painted a similar story. Ted Faro is everywhere right now.

Don’t we just have Fortnite now?

I’m still happy to contribute if you’ll have me!

And you too, Jamie. I enjoyed your recent Retford episode. Reminded me I was watching Now You See Me 2 last weekend and Jason popped up as a security guard!

I would still put Pole Position just above The Last Of Us as my favourite TV video game adaptation

Had nobody seen the leaked images from earlier in the year? There is definitely a Lego Wesley! (And Spot the Cat)

Hosting an app costs next to nothing on their servers and something they *should* be contractually obliged to keep doing so long as you pay your annual dev fee and agree to their commission payments.

Zoobys in the Winter Garden and especially Wellies near Hallam Uni are well worth a visit. Fantastic menus all round. Jerk Chicken and Cho Cho Chutney💘

For someone who wants to scream into the void at the lack of symmetry in the Pixel Fold 2, this pleases me no end.
