I like videogames and Haribo. Be my pal.
I was able to get the new, enhanced Xbox Series X version of Red Dead Redemption for free cos I bought the original on the 360 store FIFTEEN YEARS AGO. You gotta admit, that's pretty cool.

Currently enjoying Assassin's Creed: Mirage. The combat is rubbish, but the setting is gorgeous, exploration is fun and the music is awesome. Fab stuff.

I was exploring New Zealand in MS Flight Simulator and I discovered you can visit the Hobbiton film set. They've rendered wee Hobbit holes and everything. There's also a Monty Python poster inside Bag End.

When they said the entire planet was in this game they weren't kidding.

I've gotten back into Death Stranding 2 and I have to say that, when it wants to, it can be pretty damn special.

I've really enjoyed my time with Death Stranding 2 but after a while you realise it's mostly just a whole big load of nothin'.

I'm getting quite depressed by really big games that want to take over my life. Just stop and leave me alone. I have other things I wanna do, you know.

After four months and 124 hours I've only just finished episode nine of Death Stranding 2. There's EIGHT more to go.

I don't know how much more I can keep on keeping on. It's just... too much.

Games that give you the patch notes on the main menu are the good games.

Turns out exploring a dungeon filled with slightly dead wankers in VR is actually the best way to explore a dungeon filled with slightly dead wankers

PSVR 2 is pretty bloody incredible, by the way.

I have a strong stomach with horror games and VR but I had to turn off RE: Village in PSVR 2 after an hour or so cos it was just so damn REAL.

It's one of the best looking VR experiences I've ever had and that made it even more disturbing, distressing and downright trouser ploppin'. Fuckin' hell.

When a VR game gives ye chalk and a blackboard there's only one acceptable course of action

Played a bit of Hitman in PSVR2. Fibre wired a dude and strangled a dude and shot a dude up the arse. All with my bare hands*.

Bought myself a nice present.

I just ordered a PSVR 2.

I did that. I actually did that thing.

I've been playing the beta of MSFS 2024 on PS5 and I'm very surprised. It's so much more punchy and responsive and overall a vastly smoother experience than on Xbox. Things that have been broken on Xbox for months are fixed here and everything loads so much faster. A few glitches aside, this rocks.

Attended a free lecture today on cosmic rays and global quantum communications 2300 metres up a mountain.

Living in Austria is very rarely boring.

It had to be done. 27 euro a month. 324 euro a year.

Fuckin' wind yer neck in, like.

I'm working from 5:00 until 11:00 today and then I'm going straight to the cinema to watch all three LOTR extended versions on a giant fuck off screen, all in one day. Should get out at 1:00 tomorrow morning.

I'm fifty years old.

Interesting that Microsoft Flight Sim 2024 is coming to PS5 when it's been a broken, unplayable mess on Xbox since its launch last year. I don't mean it has a few bugs or glitches and I'm being a baby about it. Nope, it straight up doesn't work. Like, it's fucked. And it's not being fixed. Oh boy.

I didn't really gel with it the first time so I'm giving The Sinking City another go. I think this time I get it. Adoring the smelly, grimy filth and the whole wretched vibe of everything. It's lovely.

I just managed to loosen the brakes on my bike, take the rear wheel off, fix a puncture and put it all back together again. Haven't done this since about 1987 so I'm well CHUFFED.

After drifting away a bit I got back into Death Stranding 2 again. My god, it's magic.

Kojima is daft but he's precious. Let's keep him safe.
