new video! I think forza motorsport is a neat series and I am going to miss it if rumours of its death turn out to be true. I'm paying tribute to these games by talking about race tracks for a bit, and why and how these games taught me to love real-life motorsport

got tomorrow off work so after F1 had an evening in the pub, just got home and finally reflecting on the fact that lando norris is the world champion, maybe it's the pints but just saying it puts a big daft grin on my face

thrilled about this, genuinely

the 2019 rookies were all such a breath of fresh air, 2020 lockdown streams and austria, ended my favourite driver's career in 21 and 22, been in that team from their shite days through to their championships, ended a 17 year drought

this is what it's about man

I don't often compliment mclaren tactics but it's quite funny that by being weird they've left max 20 seconds in the lead and unable to play any games at the moment

whatever troubles you, just remember:

we need a scientific investigation into how mclaren are so bad at this

they don't make em like this anymore (I have not played this game this is just about the art)

smb the lost levels is the funniest game of all time man

only bearable with rewind cheats but hilarious if you're using em

just rewatched that clip of vettel naming all the champions for grill the grid and the thing is, while I accept that he and I are weird for being able to do that and don't actually mean this, I do also think that everyone who's into F1 should be able to, just as a matter of historical curiosity

wait are they adding a video game to gran turismo 7 now

been on a strange arc of finally actually finishing some NES games. seen these games/endings a million times and I cheated my ass off with NSO rewinds and the like but it feels important that I have technically finished these games myself now

thought I'd humour nintendo a bit this evening, not really messed around much with tabletop mode before but it does work pretty well for relaxing with a low impact small screen if you've broken your attention span that badly

dog face controller still sucks though

don't know if you guys know this but this is a good video game
October 30, 2025 at 11:30 PM
put out a video that featured my gamertag on screen, I guess this was to be expected at some point

"you can't even truly understand sonic until you understand the rich arcade racing game ecosystem which birthed him"

if truer words ever spoken it's news to me

you wouldn't want to disappoint the humble youtube commenter would you

October 17, 2025 at 9:52 PM
day off ✌️

couple weeks late to the take on this and not currently playing the game but when I see people complain that pokemon z-a locks content behind NSO I just think about how 15+ years of the series used to lock content behind toys r us

*ahem*

spent the day fixing one of the biggest real work mistakes I've done so far, only half able to do the actual task I'd been assigned, signing off today and not back at work till wednesday, very funny

anyway to reflect on the evening's news youtu.be/_nlJgA_xWU8?...

the more I do of this the more I feel like I should probably just have this image superimposed over the entire video

always a treat to fire up the wii u on game night, introduced some friends to the concept of boom street and after about 10 minutes saying "this is a little bit boring" they were all popping off at the result
