The Minishoot' Adventures promo graphic, with a cartoonish yellow ship shooting at a purple mechanical area monster with tentacles

Minishoot' Adventures is one of the best games I've played in ages.

Don't let the lacklustre name and lo-fi promo graphic put you off. It's a great little mix of old-school Zelda and twin-stick shooter. Free on Game Pass

It gets more intuitive with time, but I don't blame you!

What a game. Gets pretty tough too!

Aww, look at Trump, pretending to be Christian.

Oh mate, like you wouldn't believe! I'd have at least seven fewer recurring nightmares

Took me my second playthrough to learn this was even a thing, which tracks with my life

This one really disappointed me and I'm glad I didn't buy it. I quite enjoyed the Star Wars one though!

The enemy design is more stunning than scary. But, you know, also still very scary

It's a hard pup life, sleeping 18 hours a day!

Dear god GamePupper, have some modesty

I get it, but it didn't hit it for me. It was definitely better than Quantum, at the very least!

I think I just love the hammier Bonds. CR was the first one to go hard and fast, and was a drastic departure. Give me space lasers, obvious blaxploitation, Blofeld getting dropped in a chimney, and guns made from cigarette packets any day.

That said, Spectre was WILD

Now GoldenEye is S-tier!

The car flip is beautiful but otherwise it's a hard no from me pal

I buy a lot of things for my 80yo mum, and she pays me back in cash. I like it, because I use it on special occasions and I feel the value of it more - meals out, presents, etc. it's also much easier to budget with - I barely check my bank account until the end of the month, which is dicey

A man so bad they named him twice

kill the imposter syndrome in you head because not only is there someone out there doing it worse than you, they're also using chat gpt to do it

Anyways.

This reads like the subtext of a Telegraph editorial

Hey, you know, I can think of worse things, and I'm a dog guy!

HA please tell me their backup plans. Tinned food and guns yeah?

Oh man, I knew there'd be more to it - and definitely sounds like something I'm very happy to wait for!

My pleasure. Really looking forward to how ShipShaper turns out!

Did a list. Some bloody good games on this one - some you might have seen, others overlooked.

It's a great thing to have pal!

The ruins of Kirkstall Abbey, with trees, flowers, and a footpath in front of it

The world seems like a load of shit right now, but I love being able to take the dogs for walks around a ruined monastery about 15 minutes from my house. 2026 feels like a "grateful for lucky things" kinda year

It looks like a Cacodemon, in the best possible way

As an absolute wuss, how scary is it in real terms?

The back of a Fallout themed hockey jersey, with "VAULT 33" stitched on the back

This is by far the best hockey jersey I've bought in years. Surface never, Vault forever.
