hi! i'm co-founding a new gaming website with my former polygon colleague @zoehhannah.com. it's called mothership.blog. i made it for someone like me... the kind of website i always wished we had in our space. watch the video to learn more :D

And now for the really good shit, my favourite first-time watches

Favourite movies of 2025. Tier 1: One Battle and Hard Truths. Tier 2: Everything from Bugonia to KPop. Tier 3: A Complete Unknown, which I enjoyed much more than it deserved

Despelote, Keep Drivng, Mario Kart World, Avowed, Donkey Kong Bananza, Tokyo Xtreme Racer, Is This Seat Taken?, Ball x Pit, Death Stranding 2

My favourite games of 2025!

Just looking at the UK film release schedule for the first couple of months of next year and look at this for an absolute car crash of films I want to see releasing on a single day

This exists, it's called Eddington (kind of)

Anyone out there that bets or trades on the outcome of The Game Awards? I'd love to talk to you for a piece I'm working on. DMs are open.

These are all great but The Servant is next level

Soda Pop is my fave but Golden or Free are more narrative and Oscar-y

If Kpop Demon Hunters doesn’t win the best original song Oscar we riot

Yoji Shinkawa does not miss and Kojima owes at least 50% of his notoriety to him

5 tongue-in-cheek game writing exercises that are a more realistic representation of what most game writers do (in my experience) than a branching dialog tree:

The source text is a YouTube machinima series. I don’t think it’s supposed to be scary but there is something off about it that Arthur found frightening instead of funny. Like I say most 8yos disagree

Arthur is TERRIFIED of skibidi toilet. He watched one and it deeply frightened him. All his classmates love it

New Ueda and an Okami sequel? What is this, 2009?
