A video game that some people like but not many people bought
Everytime I log in to Bluesky, I am reminded of that early 90s song about jumping by 'House Of Pain'

'Sign Up / Sign In, let me begin...'

Okay but...this is HUGE.

Huge in a "Challenges our beliefs in intelligence" sort of way. Orangs are one of my favorite primates for tool usage, as we've seen some damn impressive things out of them, but this is ASTOUNDING.
Not just a plant. A paste that he MADE using a plant.

"A Sumatran orangutan in Indonesia has self-medicated using a paste made from plants to heal a large wound on his cheek.

After researchers saw Rakus applying the plant poultice to his face, the wound closed up and healed in a month."

If your fantasy setting can have chariots or wagons, then it can have wheelchairs.

Today, I finished 'Small Saga'. I'm amazed that the setting is just the gutters of a regular, non-magical Earth populated by talking rodents who've taken to medieval societies and yet the story accomplishes being a fantastic epic in its own right.

Haven't seen any WWE in a while, just thought I'd check out The Rock / Cody nonsense. But I'm pleased to see that Tyler Bate is both on the main roster and seems to be assuming a Noel Edmonds gimmick! ❤️

Somehow, starting last week I have managed to watch 3 or 4 Wrestlemanias a day! (I say watch, I mean have on in the background while I do stuff)

I started with 1 with Piper and Hogan, just seen 27 with some small lady called 'Snookie' and 'Laycool'!

👍❤️ Woah woah Wrestlemania!

If we could could only see cats in zoos we'd be like "OMGGG THEY'RE LIKE TINY TIGERS AND PANTHERS I WANT ONE SOOOO BAD" but since we see them all the time we tend to take them for granted. Don't make that mistake. Marvel at your tiny tiger every day.

I love a good comedy combination of silly British-ness and superstar American-ness! So imagine my delight when I found that this song..

Is actually about the little Scottish witch lady from Rentaghost!💛
(It makes sense being a Vaselines song of course!)

Just realised I've never posted this on here... Anyone remember the time Sean Scaplehorn and I had our own sitcom?

Hey all! Just a quick announcement that we will be changing our release day from Wednesday to Friday.

And I know we said we were taking a break this month but we couldn’t stay away and have recorded an episode, so keep an eye out for that tomorrow!

What's that I hear? It's #PortfolioDay again? Surely not? What, where's my folio, you ask. Why, it's here you silly-billy - www.wiloverton.com and also on the lovely thing that is www.hireillo.com/wil-overton/ No, no need to thank me, you're most welcome.

So, today is exactly 29 years since I joined the games industry, 29 years since I started working at Probe Entertainment and 29 years since I had a decent night's sleep!

Not depressing at all, oh no! 😅❤️

Just made the mistake of listening to Martha And The Muffins's Echo Beach and now have the catchy scale bit (1 min) stuck in my head!

But I don't know the words so all I can hear is-

Dubba dubba dubba dubba dubba bah!

Dubba dubba dubba dubba dubba bah!

If your at a loose end this week, why not give them a listen?

It's very nearly Christmas and what says it's very nearly Christmas more than a ridiculously happily lairy Machel Montano jump up calypso track about Zombies? (JUMBIE!!)
