Just being vocal about all things Rareware (and some other stuff)!
Pinned
Here's a few things from my Twitter years:
1) My attempt at fusing the Rareware & Playtonic logos
2) 2015/2016: Campaigning for Banjo in Smash (it worked!)
3) Mike Arson's take of what I think is a Rick & Morty version of Yooka-Laylee
4) One of the best transformations for Y-L that I'd love to see

Wanted to Show OlieGamerTV's work on his extraction tools. Originally Banjo-X's Kazooie was hidden, and couldn't be extracted through the cache. Olie is ripping the model from the files and we can see a good look at Kazooie' texture.

25 years since we released Banjo-Tooie! Have a boss-montage. Bosses are always the most fun to make. See how big and strong Mr Patch is!

While today marks Banjo-Tooie's 24-year, seven-month-and-eight-day anniversary in the EU, it's also the 25th anniversary of this second helping of bear and bird landing in America! Please use this post to reminisce over its connected worlds, new abilities and murder of Bottles.

When reality is a Nintendo 64 “Game Over” sequence.
If you love games like Mario Odyssey and Banjo-Kazooie, you HAVE to play Yooka-Replaylee!
This and “Yooka-Layler and The Impossible Lair” are the definite proof that @playtonicgames.com can deliver modern, Rareware-quality games.

Steam Review of Yooka-Replaylee (@playtonicgames.com)(2025) 🎮
Solid remake of a game I believe didn't get the love it deserved when it first released. Highly recommend if you like 3d platformers or collectathons!!🦎🦇
📜📜📜📜📜 5/5

People need to chill about the latest @playtonicgames.com post using generative removal tools on a stock photo so that they could put in their characters.
It’s a silly promotion post and not a game. It’s not even meant as art.

Today was Gregg Mayles' last day at Rare. He posted this lovely little farewell over on social media. Since he's not on Bluesky, I hope he doesn't mind me sharing it here.
There's probably no video game designer, let alone creative mind, who has had as much of a positive impact on my life as Gregg.

Now that Donkey Kong Bananza is out and I've been playing all weekend, I must say that the creative team's choice of the Ad Lib font is a masterstroke. Not only does it have so much resonance for the aging DK fanatic, but it's the rare cartoony, fun font that isn't a complete eyesore to read.
