Pep Guardiola is right. You Win Again is a banger and every young person should be aware of it.

Absolutely horrific, unfathomable news. Whenever our paths crossed back in the day, Patrick would always greet me with a huge smile and a big hug. An absolute gentleman. My heart goes out to his family.

8 episodes into the new Dexter and I’m having so much fun with it. And it’s not just oodles of nostalgia. That’s there, obviously, but putting him in New York with his group of “WHAT ARE THEY DOING IN THIS PROGRAMME” not-pals has added so much too.

Finally put on the first episode of the new Dexter, absolutely furious at myself that I can’t shake the Michael C. Halls. Especially true after that dreadful prequel series. (SPOILER FOR THE FIRST 18 SECONDS) Lithgow says “Hello, Dexter Morgan” and I’m opening my gob, ready to inhale the slop.

Apropos of nothing, been thinking about how the mention of Sunset Overdrive conjures up strong feelings for those that played it, over ten years later. There are a lot of games from that era that made much more money and are far less memorable.

Creature in the Well was a wonderful pinball-infused hack and slash game from a few years ago. Your sword is basically a portable flipper, and you fire balls at bumpers in a room, destroy all of them, and then move onto the next room. It's great fun. store.steampowered.com/app/852300/C...

#1: Something like Metal Gear Acid. It would do better now. But obvs not called that or using Solid Snake #2: Something like Metal Gear Rising. People quite liked it. But obvs not called that or using Raiden #3: Something like Snake vs Monkey from MGS3. But obvs… etc #4: Bettal Beer Bollid?

It's 25 years since Deus Ex was released, so we went & played it. And then we recorded a podcast chatting about the marketing, the pre-launch press coverage, and whether the game's any good in 2025. I’d love it if you gave it a listen. Thanks x o x o

“The kids are gonna have to wait - it’s not Bloodborne, but it looks like Bloodborne… You see this? I can tell I’m going to be so good at it… does it have a character creator? My character will be so handsome. The best build. Much better than Macron’s. He thinks his will be better… pathetic.”

Oh. Are you telling me you don't also spend your Saturday nights finding pictures of a young (and curtained) Ken Levine, sadness in his eyes, contemplating past glories, old flames, or an especially nice lasagne he had once?

Famous video games man Ken Levine – who made things like BioShock and System Shock 2 and a bit of Thief – looking wistfully off in the distance. Also he has a curtains hairdo. It was the early 2000s, many were doing it.
