Several Games of the Year: 2025

Here’s the thing: every year is a weird year for gaming. If you had asked me in 2024, or 2023, or 2013, or 1996, I probably would have said they were strange years in the industry as well. 2025 has se...

It’s official: EA is going private.

The leveraged buyout will be financed by a staggering $20 billion of debt, which likely means some *aggressive* cost cutting is ahead for EA in the coming months and years.

LATEST 'BIG BEAST' DEFECTS TO REFORM
by Our BBC Correspondent E.Z. Questions

FOLLOWING on from Nadine Dorries, Reform was celebrating another big-name defection to the party after their conference in Birmingham, as rumours swirled that Chris Mason had defected to Reform.

"Chris's breathless coverage of our conference could have come straight from our press office," said a jubilant Reform spokesman. "Watching him fanboy Nigel Farage and talk up his prospects to be the next Prime Minister, despite Reform only having four MPs, left us in no doubt that Chris was one of us."

Chris Mason, however, played down the prospect of him defecting to Reform, saying, as a senior BBC political correspondent, he must remain totally impartial and in favour of the Conservative party at all times.

Shhhh! Don't tell them. Cannot cope with the irony.

We should remember that St George was an immigrant

Saint George was born in Turkey to a Turkish father and Palestinian mother. He lived in the Middle East and died at the hands of the Romans who persecuted him because of his faith

When most advertising is just rubbish programmatic slop it’s quite fun to look up at the station and see something where the agency has actually put some thought into the placement.
