It’s my job Amazon 😭. You wouldn’t say someone administrates extensively 😂

Ngl, I felt personally attacked by the use of “extensively 😂😂

Going to whip this out next time I’m asked about my hobbies in a job interview.

Interesting to see the mixed critical reception to Hellraiser Revival. I really enjoyed it, Saber nailed the atmosphere and the hyper-sexual, gruesome tone. However, there were a lot of glitches, the resource balancing is a mess, and some gameplay mechanics (like evade) are clunky as hell.

UK people, we all use 90210 when asked for a US zip code, right?

If GTA 6 features a mission involving a train and a motorbike, I’m going to throw myself into the sea.

Thanks Michael 🖤 I hope you’re keeping well.

Thanks Sam. Honestly, even I have it at this point. I think it’s valid and understandable. Most people are just trying to keep their own head above water.

This week marks two years since I was let go via email by GAMURS. Here’s the reality of what those two years have been like.

There are a whole lot of big life things going on, so it’s obviously the perfect time to start Baldur’s Gate 3 and rewatch The Sopranos

Can’t believe we got Tupac’s killer before we got GTA 6

Jokes aside, I love how clean that UI is. So much more immersive.

I was back on BBC news today to chat about the game industry and Gamescom!

I got really excited thinking this was simply a game about being a dog with a job.

I'm working on a feature about videogame art that has been falsely accused of using genAI. If it's happened to you and you'd like to share thoughts about why your work attracted suspicion, feel free to give me a bell: edwin.evansthirlwell@rockpapershotgun.com

My reaction to seeing the rain this morning was on par with a kid seeing snow.

There are so many more adventures still waiting for us and I honestly can’t wait. We’ve played games together over the last decade to keep in touch despite the distance, but this has been the most fun and engaging experience yet, and most connected I’ve felt to them without being in person.

Vic Hood (Parkes) @h00dwinked.bsky.social · 07/08/2026

…This is such a fun game. I’ve been playing with my cousins (one in Scotland, one in Ireland) and they keep praising how much it feels like playing games together as a kid. He’s right. Someone inevitably always gets lost, we cry laugh at stupid mistakes, bicker, and just chat about life in between..

Wanted to save reading @schillingc.bsky.social’s review of The Big Walk until I’d played it myself. I’m not the game yet, but so far his review hits the nail on the head beautifully and apparently everyone is just calling the red objects Kongs (or sometimes Dongs in our case)…

Vic Hood (Parkes) @h00dwinked.bsky.social · 05/08/2026

Is it better to try and make a squad for The Big Walk or play with total randos?

Vic Hood (Parkes) @h00dwinked.bsky.social · 23/07/2026

Genuinely shocked how good it is, especially when the DC movies have been so dire, and John Cena absolutely smashes the balance between douchebag and vulnerable.

Look forward to randomly crying when this song plays from here on.

Late to the party, but finally watching Peacemaker. Between the S1 intro and the House of Pain scene, I can’t remember the last time I was so pleasantly surprised by a TV show.

Between this and Disney store, scalpers are really out of control. Thieves broke into a store in Reigate (Surrey) in the middle of the night to nick Pokémon trading cards. Here's the footage: www.instagram.com/reel/DbBEAzH...

Need to start posting more work stuff here. The last few months, work has been increasingly scarce, but this few weeks I’ve been up to *cool stuff*: - Working on Phasmophobia guides for GameSpot - Appeared on BBC to chat GTA 6 (radio + TV) - BGR evergreen work - First The Guardian piece published

If you wonder how poorly adapted the U.K. is to extreme heat, we keep having power outages and the local hospital has declared a critical incident 🫠

Honestly, saying anything more than this right now would simply be a fucking tirade. I’m so sorry for those who are being made to feel unsafe right now in N. Ireland due to their race, religion or otherwise. I’m truly ashamed.

Vic Hood (Parkes) @h00dwinked.bsky.social · 10/06/2026

Absolutely fucking devastated about what’s happening back home. Everytime it feels like we’re moving forward, we go back to the same old bullshit.
