Oh no - horrible news. Martin was such a lovely guy and an incredibly talented musician and game-maker. A wonderful member and supporter of the industry here in the North. Will miss you mate. RIP.

Still in my top 10 of best TV series of all time. Jeremy Brett is the definitive Sherlock Holmes and the two actors who played Watson are both brilliant too. Was lucky enough to see a London theatre production of Sherlock Holmes with Brett in the 1980s. Magical.

Loved @mackeza.bsky.social's Gamecube 25th anniversary piece in the Pushing Buttons newsletter. The first console I ever imported - a Japanese version with USA switch to play games like Super Mario Sunshine before their UK launch. The Wavebird - the first ever wireless controller - was amazing too.

@keefstuart.bsky.social Heartily agree with your Pushing Buttons piece about mainstream media coverage. Was so refreshing recently for example to hear Off Menu's Ed Gamble & James Acaster just reference Monkey Island's puzzles as being similar to a guest's anecdote (without explaining it).

Yesterday, Carry On Screaming had its 60th anniversary since it was released in UK cinemas. I saw it on TV in 1974 age at 8. I reckon it was probably the first genuinely scary film that most Gen Xrs were ever exposed to. League Of Gentlemen have said what a massive influence it was on them. Me too!

Splatoon Raiders on Switch 2 is REALLY good - had the opportunity to play for a few hours over the weekend. Very compelling single-player game, with a nice drip of upgrades and more powerful weapons and gadgets. My favourite Splatoon since the "small fry" SP game in 3. Currently just £36 on Amazon.
