A reminder that I have a Google Calendar with (almost) every upcoming video game release I can find, and I’ve just given it a huge update covering the next few months.

DM me your email if you’d like to be added to it!
Would any mutuals like to be added to a Google Calendar I have with basically every confirmed video game (and major DLC) release date? Updated monthly, includes every AAA and interesting indie I can find. DM me your email if you do! Example of next week in the image below.
Very late to the party but whew, A Short Hike. What a lovely little game!

RTJ and Turnstile 👀
How are we feeling about the Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3+4 remastered soundtrack so far? What’s your favorite track revealed?

No surprises, called it when it was delayed. Lots of chatter around them being obligated to release a game annually which was always just hearsay. Can't say I'm disappointed either, but FM26 has a *lot* of living up to do.

Bluesky needs the profile balloons on your birthday like Twitter has. Possibly the only pro for keeping Twitter.

In other news, happy birthday to me 🥳 life starts at 29, they say

Finally hopped on the Balatro train today and pressed discard by mistake instead of play hand. Not gonna make that mistake again 💀

Rest in peace, mate. You were the best ❤️

I am so fucking ready for The Witcher 4. That’s gonna be a proper book a week off work sort of game. Well, it would be if I had a different occupation.

It's finally done. I can play another video game at last.

I haven’t played a video game properly for a while now, but I am so looking forward to picking something up over the Christmas break. I’m still yet to play Balatro so I think that’s a must, but I also need to play Spider-Man 2 finally, revisit Dragon’s Dogma 2, Star Wars Outlaws is staring at me…

Hey new folks 👋 I’ve been fairly quiet on here recently as I’ve dialled back my social media use generally (and I am still, much to my dismay, using Twitter infrequently) but I’ll be making an effort here more.

TL;DR: I’m a freelance games journo. Shout if you need guides/reviews (including mocks)!

Editors! There are a few opps coming up I would love to cover for your site, if you’re looking for freelance help.

- MW3 - I’ve been playing COD for over 15 years (some years a lot more than others!) and am keen to review MW3. Have reviewed a number of previous COD games.
