Then I can get stuck into 2 and work on the other games 😂

I majoratively buy old games, so...
I only maybe buy at most 2 new games on release a year, depending what it is. I preordered Silent Hill f and gonna do the same for Metroid Prime 4 and that'll be me set for the year.

I watched NoClip's Soul Reaver documentary yesterday after posting yesterday's #MagazineMonday and then I see @rainaaudron.bsky.social liked it. What a lovely coincidink lol hi Monica!

Metroid Other M Review The most controversially divisive entry in the Metroid series, I take a look to see if it's really as bad as everyone makes it out to be...

Oh cool, it's 15 years already since Metroid Other M came out! I actually like it lol and I got a good argument for it here.
