Balatro

05/12/2024

Remember when I tried Balatro and didn't like it? Who even was that guy?

Vampire Survivors is the purest video game

16/06/2023

I can't explain why I love this game, but I also love games made by people who clearly love this game, so I guess it's not just me.

I hate this game. See you tomorrow

13/03/2022

I should just stop playing, but I got this streak going.

Gran Turismo 7

12/03/2022

The best parts of this game are the photo mode and car customisation. The worst part is American cars. I wonder why American manufacturers don't connect the steering wheel to the front wheels. I know they have long straight roads there but there are some corners.

OlliOlli World

13/02/2022

I loved the first two OliOlli games. Played hours and hours of them on Vita and then again on Switch. They're the perfect auto-runner and, in many ways, share a lot of commonality with the decent Sonic games.

Burgers and AI

24/10/2021

We launched two sites recently, pretty much on the same day, for two very different companies.

Spider-Man Miles Morales

21/02/2021

I right-place-right-timed my way to a PS5 this week. It's the first time in ages that I haven't picked up a console I wanted on launch day.

I wasn't rushing to get one because there wasn't a launch title that I was drawn to, but that turned out to be wrong.

Pulling me back in

10/10/2020

Damn it, Animal Crossing, with your cute pumpkins and halloween decorations! Fine I'll play some more.

Shortcuts for GIFs

02/07/2020

I love GIFs. I use them all the time. On my laptop, I have a LaunchBar custom bookmarks index that lists them all so that they're searchable and I can access them easily, but that's more difficult in iOS. I decided to see if I could use iOS' Shortcuts app to give me some sort of search UI for them, and it turns out I can!

Horizon Zero Dawn

28/06/2020

When this game came out, I think it was super close to Breath of the Wild (I could look it up but why would I), so I was completely distracted. I'd been meaning to play it. It looked great, but Zelda just got in the way.

Need for Speed Heat

13/04/2020

Me: If I can get an RX-7 in this game I'm going to leave it completely stock.

Also me:

Slowing down

11/04/2020

When you pay off your home loan, as in life, you get the chance to enjoy a new pace of living, but the lack of structure can be demotivating.

A sure thing

10/04/2020

Sometimes a studio or publisher will luck into a game so perfect that they have to systematically destroy it in order to prove just how brilliant it is.

Fixing things you don't understand

06/04/2020

I don't really get how any of this works. So far I've just been doing things and they've been working OK most of the time

Cribs!

05/04/2020

What's up MTV? Welcome to my crib.

A Gold Rush

31/03/2020

Animal Crossing has a feature called the Stalk Market. You buy turnips once a week then hedge your bets on making a return.

Animal Crossing in Isolation

29/03/2020

I'm really fortunate to be part of a group of people who are pretty much all playing Animal Crossing right now

We're here!

20/03/2020

Animal Crossing: New Horizons is finally here

Pokémon Generation 8 is a delight

10/02/2020

I seriously can't believe how charming this game is
