Still, the level of shit gaming placements doesn’t equate to the quality of the show.
Tony fuggin’ Soprano playing Mario Kart 64 one-handed and repeatedly smashing the Start button is an all-timer gaming whiff in an all-timer show.

Phase Zero pipped BIRDCAGE for my demo of the year. This is shaping up to be the best Resi clone ever.

AAAAAAAAH! It’s so scary…
The notion of you not voting Luigi’s Mansion for the Video Game Hall of Fame, I mean.
Do it.
Do it now!

Someone tell me not to buy this. Please, tell me not to buy this. Otherwise I’m gonna buy this. I shouldn’t buy this, though. Tell me not to buy this.

Gaming has lost one of its true rockstars, and in a year where his greatest achievement was back in the public consciousness. What a legend.
Ninja Gaiden Black will forever be the GOAT. RIP.

Let’s do something symbolic on a Friday. I’ve had this lanyard since Gamescom 2018. Had my work pass on it for over three years. I’m not walking round promoting trash, I’ll just put it in the trash where Game Pass belongs.
Was so good while it lasted. #CancelGamePass #Xbox

There were so many bangers in this draft. SotN, Ridge Racer Type 4, Time Crisis 2, Monkey Ball, OutRun 2, Chrono Trigger, Bust-A-Move 3, Sin and Punishment, Ikaruga, Gunstar, Metal Slug, Bomberman '94... and hey, I just tried out Elevator Action Returns and love it! Quality, quality content.

This required maths to sort out.
1 point by default per pick, 2 if you picked the best game, -1 if you picked the worst game. Samuel for me purely because he never picked the worst one. He also had the best steal.
Yes, I am currently seeking pyschiatric help about this. Amazing episode.

Why is it that it’s always the arcade game you want to play the most that’s the only one not working? DFDS ferries, you have let me and the rest of the Squad down.
This was made worse by not being able to see the screen was off until after I’d shouted “AAAAAH YES!” and legged it over like a twat.

Everyone with integrity and self-respect: Nintendo, you’re insane if you think anyone will pay £8 for a fucking console instruction manual that should’ve been a free pack-in.

Not everyone walks away from taking their daughter to a horse sanctuary while on a family holiday in Norfolk with a copy of Dynasty Warriors 6 for £2, but then not everyone is as handsome or charitable to rescued horses as me are they?

It would seem that money and air transport still can’t get you any real actors to come to South Korea. Squid Game Season 3 is still just pulling westerners off the street, feeding them lines written by 1000 apes with 2 typewriters, a Spirograph and some chalk, and letting them crash and burn. Awful.

Nobody will be able to give me a convincing argument as to why digital games don’t unlock at 00:00 on release day. I could walk into a shop and buy the disc (if it has one) right now. F this nonsense. #Robocop #RogueCity

Yakuza 6: Song of Life ✅ Amazing game.
So that’s 0; Kiwami; Kiwami 2; 3, 4, and 5 Remastered; 6; LAD (7); Ishiin; Dead Souls; Judgment; and Lost Judgment all beaten.
It’s been steady progress over 10 years (more than 1 beaten per year). Three more to go to catch up. Next: Gaiden.

What I hate about Rematch
If you can go the whole game and not pass the ball ONCE then I hope the next time you make a tea you pour in the milk and it curdles, so you have to waste water to refill and boil the kettle to make another one, except you can’t because that was the last of the milk. Dick.

Played Rematch with @supersmillie.bsky.social until 1am.
Went to bed and dreamt about Rematch.
Woke up and can’t stop thinking about Rematch.
I really like Rematch.
