The record-breaking launch of Nintendo Switch 2 in the US was expected, but that certainly makes it no less impressive or remarkable.

Initial projection to total market has US week 1 units at around 1.3-1.35M, but of course it will take a couple weeks to know for sure.

Helluva great start.

Maui Mallard in Cold Shadow is an underrated 1995 16bit gem from Disney Interactive starring Donald Duck, with a brilliant soundtrack composed by Michael Giacchino. Great world building, gameplay and animation. Always felt it should get more attention. youtu.be/Fnuhg4Lqssw?...

Patrick and Tamsin created a very special game publisher and studio. Having been there for just over a month now I cannot praise the team and culture enough. It’s entering an exciting new phase that is only possible because of what they built. If you’re interested nDreams has a number of roles open.

Mini Disc was the greatest media format and I will hear no different.

In response to the Polygon and Giant Bomb news, I created an indie and worker-owned games media starter pack.

I’ll keep adding to it, so suggestions and recommendations are greatly appreciated. Please share!

If you work in the #gamesindustry and you haven’t watched Mythic Quest yet, you are in for a treat. I doubt there will ever be another show that so accurately and lovingly satirises our favourite hobby and industry.

So it’s the 30th anniversary of this gem of a movie. The soundtrack is imprinted in my mind. Honestly believe it is one of the best Disney have made with a wonderful message at the heart of it.

Watches the first 10 seconds. Yep that’s a Bungie game. I’m in.

Can’t wait to see more of this.

Delightful.

That moment when you wonder if you misread something when you realise your imaginations version of a character was waaaaay off from who was chosen as the actor in the adaption. Prefer mine to be honest.

Very excited to see this.
Bungie will show off the first gameplay for its shooter Marathon this week.

Loved Tron since I was a kid. Any chance to spend more time with that story is a-ok with me. First impression is this could be a dead-on story for our AI moment. Definitely a must see on the big screen. And a NIN soundtrack! Yes please!

I hope it is amazing, that we all go and see it at the cinema and then buy the 4k BluRay.
