Sad to see XDefiant shut down. Feel that missing the initial launch date when interest in Call of Duty was at an all-time low ultimately sealed its fate before it had a chance to shine.

$10 for a 500-word news piece is absolute extortion. I started my career earning £5 and an additional 2p per unique page view and it sucks to see some huge sites still paying criminally low rates.

My freelance schedule for December is still relatively free!

If you’re looking for anyone for gaming news, guides, features or reviews, I am available immediately.

Absolutely terrible call.

Calling the SC after two cars got a puncture is a total joke. Stewarding this season has been a shambles.

I still have some space in my December schedule for any sites looking for news, guides, features or reviews.

All RTs are appreciated!

Verstappen had that covered since performance of the Red Bull started to dip. Very well deserved champion this season.

Attempted to get F1 75 Live tickets this morning. Sold out in under 10 minutes and got nowhere in the queue. Loads of tickets already being resold for extortionate prices. What a shambles.

Bizarre how much money the games industry turns over yet it can't afford in-person events, keeping studios intact without layoffs, or a functional press. Something needs to change!

It appears the Black Ops 6 Season 1 update has rolled out several hours earlier than planned.

Love the history of the Monaco GP along with qualifying being the best session of the year but unless it rains, the races are often dull. About time they attempt to revise the track for the bigger cars if it's sticking around until 2031.

I'm interested! Where's the best place to get in contact?
