I always love seeing Tagi's creations (and finding out how he's broken our games this time 😅) and his Planet Zoo 2 video did not disappoint: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ChmD...

/noclip turns 10 today. So for the next month we're going to post a documentary a day to celebrate the people who took the time to talk to us during our first decade. First up, our first documentary. How Psyonix toiled for years to build an overnight success. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Om0j...

My purchase of a Steam Machine has been completely validated by the fact it runs Viva Piñata absolutely flawlessly.

Yeah that's fair, I still added it to my wishlist :) will check it out when I finish Jade City and Red Rising

As a fantasy reader who is not really a fan of Tolkien or Pratchett would I still enjoy this? My favourite recent fantasy reads include all of Brandon Sanderson's Cosmere works, and The Name of the Wind (and its sequel) from Patrick Rothfuss, if that helps.

The aquatic animals look absolutely stunning, but adding avian species to Planet Zoo has been my favourite part of working on the sequel. Really excited to be able to bring both fish and birds to our players for Planet Zoo 2! www.youtube.com/watch?v=ak4K...

Finally beat The Talos Principle (all endings) - only 12 years after I started it 😅 Excited to try out Road to Gehenna now as I've heard great things. I'm glad The Talos Principle 2 persuaded me to go back and give 1 another shot.

Thank you, that really means a lot! And thank you for the lovely repost too. Hopefully we can meet up in person again soon, I keep thinking I should make the trip to London to see one of these live coding events some time

Finally I, on a whim, picked up this game made by one person called "the travelers." It was 4 quid, and I think it might be the best thing I played this year? I put 44 hours into it since the 20th of December and was the 5th person in the world to beat it. store.steampowered.com/app/3316690/...

Things you may want to consider checking out: -Avowed was delightful, British, and only about 12 hours long -Herdling is gorgeous and my wife loved watching it and naming the animals -Lego Voyagers is a great follow on from Builders Journey and just as good as Split Fiction (you should also play)

Bradley Pollard @bradleypollard.com · 02/01/2026

Weirdly this year I might have beaten more games than ever before? Then again, I don't often actually finish things. And a few weren't from this year. Clair Obscur, Monster Hunter Wilds, Atomfall, Herdling, 1000xRESIST, Blue Prince (kind of), Lego Voyagers and Leap Year all got completed.

I hope you told @bradshoemaker.bsky.social about this. Would love to hear his thoughts on the next Nextlander pod

Do you know when the review embargo is, or whether Switch 1 copies will be sent to press?

Liverpool have 0.1 xG and two goals to show for it 😂 defending was bad for the first goal but they really haven't had a sniff since

People and media often say Balatro was made by 'one guy'. I feel like that unfortunately may be stoking the flames of this David vs. Goliath narrative a tiny bit No it was not 'one guy', look at the dang in-game credits

This ridiculous narrative that Geoff was peddling really soured the SGF for me.

These are stunning! Do you have anything written about the camera/gear/settings you use?

Giant Bomb and Polygon dead/gutted in the same week. Truly an awful week for games journalism and the industry as a whole 😔

Finished Atomfall, a marvellous little game filled with British charm. Bravo @rebellion.com

The fun part of that is it means Brighton are the first ever team to lose a Premier League game against a team that had two players sent off 😂

Bradley Pollard @bradleypollard.com · 04/04/2025

Rebellion's decision to not implement any kind of temporal AA or upscaling in Atomfall is a breath of fresh air. Not only does it run at a ridiculous frame rate when maxed out, the image quality is so crisp!

The demo has absolutely sold me on it
