We lived in a pub when I was growing up and when I was 3 (50 years ago!) we had someone in to draw the pub for a business card. I sat next to him and watched him draw every line. I was transfixed and it was a huge inspiration for me. I’ve dreamt about owning that drawing for years…

This is powerfully embarrassing

Lots of #Welsh references in #DarkSouls!

Gwyn's allusions to Gwyn ap Nudd, his children Gwynevere and Gwyndolin, plus other Welsh origin names in the shape of Lloyd and Llewellyn.

And not forgetting Welsh actor Matthew Morgan's Domhnall of Zena and his "Siwmae" greeting.

I don't know much about Benny Safdie... But Brie Larson as Rosalina? That's genuinely great casting!

Loco Motive was a wholly human creation made with a relatively tiny budget - We paid real human voice actors, artists and musicians - And they all brought something to the final game.

Nexon has a market cap of $17,000,000,000 USD and they're too cheap to care about their craft. Fuck off.

"This use of GenAI is fine because VAs signed contracts to relinquish their rights".

Well yeah, have you seen what happens to those who don't want to sign off on this? Can you really call that consent when the alternative is losing (or never getting) a job?

…and James Bond, who did not die!’

Hear me out: Bonds Assemble. Like The Five Doctors. With lookalikes for the dead ones.

Managed to accidentally nuke my iTunes on Sunday. It's taken me 'til today to fix it.

Now, my iPod doesn't want to work with iTunes.

I may cry.

#NinoKuni 2 features a few #Welsh references, one of which is Lofty and his lovely south Walian dialect, played by Owain Arthur.

#Cymraeg is present for the location of Cwsg-y-Ddraig (The Sleeping Dragon), and we also have the gloriously Welsh "Proper Tidy" Ring and Pendant.

It's really good! I was back and forth about Zelda's English voice but got used to it... But I love the LatAm Spanish dub and can't revert back now!

The Eng localisation is always so different too. Wife translates the Spanish voices and it usually seems better than what they went with for English.

Chwarae teg iddo fo! ♥️ Glad to hear you're both enjoying it!

Anyway I just did a wee bit on BBC Radio 4 about GTA 6, and the presenter prefaced the interview with a courteous note about how culturally and financially important video games are in the UK, and was both enthusiastic and respectful, so some things have gotten better in he last 12 years

When GTA V came out I did a bunch of radio interviews about it, and the game was mostly approached as a violent, dangerous waste of time. One presenter said "when I talk to people like you, I think, why don't you read a book?" (I told him I have a Masters degree in literature, that shut him up)

Absolute peak enshittification, here. Unbelievable. "We've decided to hide the standard functionality of our previous product – you know, the thing you depend on – and put it in a drop-down menu that you're unlikely to find"

Nintendo Announces 'My Mario' Yoshi App For Switch And Mobile Devices.

I voice the brave Korok warrior CALAMO in HYRULE WARRIORS: AGE OF IMPRISONMENT. This character was an absolute joy to play, and it was really cool to get to be a part of a Zelda game. The game is available now on Nintendo Switch 2.

Important. Especially for people in the U.K., where we consider swearing a highly-evolved artform.

#KPop Demon Hunters is going up, up, up and getting a sequel at Netflix, it has been confirmed.

It might have been up for a while but after occasional checks I see the Disney Speedstorm soundtrack is FINALLY on Spotify.

Even if you don't care about the game, the soundtrack is packed with ridiculous dance remixes of Disney music.

Trust me. Banger after banger.

Text reading: Meanwhile over on X, journalists Callum Thomson asked for our advice when trying to come up with a second mention for Paddington Bear, writing: "Not sure I can get away with "the Peruvian marmalade muncher, can I, Second Mentions'?" Of course, we can't speak on behalf of your sub-editor, but if you need more suggestions, then perhaps take inspiration from 'the furry Peruvian emigre' in The Guardian, 'the marmalade-loving bear' in the Halesowen News and, our favourite, 'the duffle-coat-wearing ursine' from BBC News. And, if you need a second mention for marmalade sandwiches, we suggest 'the bread and orange preserve staple', which featured in The Independent.

🐻 As #PaddingtonTheMusical opens this month, we're here for all your second mentions needs 🐻

👉 All this and more in 'The Little Book of Second Mentions', out now
