MORE BLACKS MORE DOGS MORE IRISH MO CHARA

London 👇🏻

One of the better PS State of Plays in recent memory, Summer Game Fest, First game of the NBA Finals, Money in the Bank and Worlds Collide. I’m eating good this week

Not snowboarding but I loved playing Sled Storm as well. Winter sports are seriously underrepresented today

Movie you’ve watched more than six times using gifs.

(“Hard mode” no Star Wars, Star Trek, or LOTR)

I yearn for Hong Kong

Describe yourself using 4 foods:

I still appreciate reviews but have trouble with ‘score inflation’. I believe most games released should be a 5/10 - I’m tired of every game being between 7 - 10. 7 should be considered a really good, markedly above average score

I will forgive and forget January 6th when I’m dead.

The Outer Worlds 🎮 🏆 Platinum #184 and 2nd platinum of 2025

It really is an under appreciated gem. Discourse around this game got caught up in comparisons to Fallout (quite rightly given the developers pedigree) however it provides a markedly different experience that deserves more credit

Backlog games I’m going to tackle this year:

Nothing beats getting up early in the weekend to fit in a few extra hours of gaming 👌

Marvel Rivals 🎮 🏆 Platinum 183

Despite some frustrating trophies this platinum really was an exceptional journey to start the new year with

It’s got to be DOOM

I woke to a new RGG project and Elden Ring

Platinum #182 🏆 🎮

South Park: The Fractured But Whole

A fun, short adventure with competant and accessible turn based combat

This platinum takes me to a nice 30 for the year

How I feel this week

I don’t have it on vinyl but I would kill for the Streets of Rage 4 OST

‘A broken clock murders a ceo twice a day’ or whatever that saying is

When does this getting up for work everyday thing end?

A break from gaming to watch the F1 - perfect Sunday 👌

A brew, Xmas decs up, Raining outside, PlayStation. Super chill start to the weekend 🎮☕️🎄

♥️♥️♥️♥️

Follow my boy here if you’re into music and film discourse

Contrary to what my Apple Music Replay might tell me, 2024 has been very diverse for me.

Here’s my Top 30 albums of the year, in no particular order:

Platinum Trophy 🏆 #181 Yakuza 0

So happy to have this in the collection. It only took 7 years

This game really sparked my interest in the series as a whole, I’m hoping to plat the entire mainline series eventually

Pokemon are the best

For me, normal is the most under appreciated type

Absolutely love Pokemon art like this. If I could change anything about the games it would be the canonical size of legendary pokemon

My top 10 games since 2020:

Dredge
Inscryption
Tekken 8
Ghostrunner
Gran Turismo 7
Sifu
Elden Ring
Tunic
