Another fun collab with @mattpurslow.bsky.social about what makes GTA tick: San Andreas and how it kicked Rockstar's cinematic ambitions into high gear. www.youtube.com/watch?v=77pU...

The coolest guides editor (and Lauren) I've ever known is now a critics jury member for the Horror Game Awards, very proud 🥲

Me too! How do I apply to be a houseguest?

I’m seeing Christine Baranski and Tilda Swinton in the same week.

Hey, how many do you have in stock? I’d like to order one to London! Happy to pay express shipping.

Interesting how much information people need to ‘verify’ to believe women.

I sometimes forget I exist in a queer bubble, and my reference points are very different to people outside of that. When there’s any crossover, I’m like oh, cool, nice, welcome to my brain.

Silent Hill: Townfall has arrived, and it's got a meaty handful of endings! @prettyheartache.bsky.social and I have teamed up to produce a meaty deep dive into the lore and endings of everyone's favourite new seaside town of St. Amelia 🫡 youtu.be/Av5i90vrZcM?...

Townfall is excellent. This isn't some over-the-top survival horror about one person's journey through hell. It's a confronting exploration that some of the bleakest experiences are the very real (and present) struggles that ordinary people face with no real alternative or way out.

Tristan's review hits the nail on the head that Silent Hill: Townfall "tackles previously unexplored shades of evil like corporate greed and environmental mismanagement that help to make it feel like a refreshingly new twist." www.ign.com/articles/sil...

Like the intravenous needle permanently jutting out of its hero’s wrist, Silent Hill: Townfall gives this long running series a welcome shot in the arm.

I reviewed Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave, and I’m happy to say it’s quite an amazing and ambitious tactical experience. Over a hundred hours spent and I still have so much more to see in its wonderfully diverse story paths.

Losing Tim Curry the day after Dolly Parton is particularly cruel.

Dolly Parton, among a thousand other amazing things she did in her life, gifted over 330 million books to kids through her Imagination Library program. Her passing is a tremendous loss to the world, but you can support the program today to keep it going imaginationlibrary.com

I actually don't know how to process this.

Unfortunately, I no longer care about anything because we lost Dolly Parton.

I loved Servant of the Lake so much I asked if I could put together a guide for it. www.ign.com/wikis/servan...

Mark Medina, are you trying to bring sense to the timeline?

Obviously I have also spent today doing the inevitable and watching clips of different people doing The Worst Pies in London.

Sweeney Todd is one of my favourite musicals, so I went to Birmingham to see it yesterday. I need London to get it together. It was so good and I haven’t felt like that about anything on the west end besides Oh, Mary! for ages.

Back from my break and I've immediately given up.

I will. It’s about £9 for a beer in a bar and my British heard can’t stand that.

I'm on a break now until almost the end of the month and I've started it right by buying The Incident at Galley House and TR-49 as a bundle. That's my entertainment on the plane sorted.
