I finally watched Christmas Evil after all these years. A better movie than the frankly terrible synopses online would have you believe. I feel that it can be a tad muddled with how it tells its story here and there. But still an underrated horror classic of its era.

I never thought I'd reach a stage in my life where I'd genuinely think to myself, "I'm gasping for a cup of tea".

Seeing as I'm still in a little bit of a grump for losing an hour to Youtube you can try and help me feel better by checking out this video on the final episode of #MyHeroAcademia if you are so inclined! If not, well, have a nice day either way! youtu.be/lLVtM16XXSU

Welp, that was an hour wasted because YouTube wouldn't let me upload a thumbnail on the desktop version of the site. I mean, it isn't like timing is everything when you run small channels. I have learnt I need to widen my vocabulary of curse words; I don't have enough for situations like this.

A new week, and a new video from me. This week I'm doing a preview on Rad Venture. An upcoming #indiegame platformer where you play a lizard named Rad who has to deal with being on community service by saving the world. As you do! And honestly, it is rather neat! youtu.be/63e3-gaII-4

After an extended (and unwanted) absence from doing video-based game previews, I return to action. This week I (finally) take a look at the upcoming Bubsy game, Bubsy 4D. Which is shaping up to be rather great! Which is a shock, I will admit. www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Xgr...

So, after several months, my script is done. Submitted. I have until early December to resubmit or change anything. And from there, I have to wait till April to know what happens. Hopefully, good news!

Somehow, I've spent the past few months writing a TV script in a font that doesn't exist. Now it is in the correct font, and it has over doubled the page count. I have now spent the past five hours correcting everything to get it back to where it should be. So, bang goes today's plans, again!

For the past few weeks, I've been working on a video trying to predict how certain consoles and their developers will do in the next gaming generation. Given everything that keeps happening with Xbox, I keep having to update it. And I wish I'd posted it earlier, as I'd look super smart right now.

I'm surprised that no one seems to have done a "Tron: Ares? More like Tron: Arse!" (Or words to that effect) Joke yet. If you already have, I have good news and bad news. The good news is we are of a similar mind. The bad news is that we are of a similar mind.

Hey folks! So, there may be a bit of a delay on the next video, so consider this a preview of the next preview, which is for The Last Worlds: Crossed Souls. The developers reached out to me to take a look at it. And I'll be sharing my thoughts soon.

The great #indiegame extravaganza SAGExpo is back! And I decided to make a video about it, and being the stubborn soul I am, I decided to make things needlessly difficult by trying to talk about 44 games I liked in less than 5 minutes. Mistakes were made! youtu.be/sOEY4SQuYUo

Working on a video for this year's SAGE 25. It is going to be a little different to some of the other videos I've done on the gaming channel. And if nothing else, just admire the effort of trying to talk about 44 different games in the span of less than 5 minutes.

Running late, but that won't stop me from doing this week's indie game preview. This week, we're looking at Bobo Bay, a game that is a spiritual successor to the Chao Gardens from the Sonic Adventure games! #IndieGame #Game #BoboBay #Sonic youtu.be/5MpQo_oSlyo

Time for another video on video game-related things. This week, I'm looking at the recent #PlayAcclaim event and giving my humble opinion on what was shown. Is it a grand return? Or a waste of time! Find out in this video! youtu.be/CoX6Br0RFpI #indiegame #videogame

I have a feeling the Nintendo Switch Virtual Boy thing will sell more units than the original Virtual Boy. Not sure how to feel about that. But I know some classic game collectors are going to be steamed when they flood the second-hand market in a decade and they mistake them for the original.

100 years ago, if you saw a job posting offering you double or triple your current pay, you'd go along to it and get chased by a Bela Lugosi-type mad scientist trying to revive his dead bride. These days, it's a front for some data broker or AI tech company. Either way, you're losing your soul.
