One of the proudest moments of my life...I can finally say I WORKED ON #SpiderMan2PS5. 8 months with an amazing team, working alongside some of the most talented people in the industry at Sony & Insomniac. If you're playing this weekend...I hope you love every second of it ❤️🕸

There was something in Patrick Stewart's stern-but-caring Picard that reminded me so much of my dad. I think it's why TNG means so much to me. Though I lost my dad recently, TNG & Sir Patrick's performance will forever remind me of him. Rest well Captain, and thank you ❤️

Genuinely heartbroken. Yet another beloved studio, its iconic IPs and its staff sacrificed at the alter of 'infinite growth'. Oh, and Mass Effect is dead. This really is the absolute worst timeline 💔

The work Danny and the whole team at noclip do to document the effort that goes into making a game is SO important. It cannot be stressed how lovely it is to see the faces behind the games we play ❤️
Our production company worked on this all year. A three part series, we hope you like it when the first episode goes live tomorrow.

I feel like large swathes of the population suddenly forgot how to have a phone conversation without being on loudspeaker... Currently sat by a pool, on holiday, listening to a full back and forth between a mum and her adult son. I hate it. I hate people.

To this day one of my favourite games of the last decade. If you still haven't played it yet I IMPLORE you to jump in...it's an incredibly written, beautiful masterpiece
Three years ago, we invited players to experience 16th-century Europe through the life of Andreas Maler. Today, we celebrate Pentiment and everyone who has connected with its world, characters, and art. Here’s to three years of Pentiment, and to its story that still stays with us!

I still hear "GAV...IN? GAVIIIIIN?" in my nightmares. Between this and Family Guy us Gavins have been TORMENTED 🤣
Dan Houser FINALLY gives some clarity into the Gavin mystery from Red Dead Redemption 2. He says that it wasn't meant to be an unsolvable troll from Rockstar and the intention was that Gavin simply isn't there with Nigel anymore.

The first two paragraphs are potentially the most corporate AI nothing-speak I've ever seen in a layoff announcement. If you're going to fire people, have the balls to actually say it, you absolute ghouls.

This and EA's recent acquisition are perfect examples of the 'benefit literally no-one but the shareholders' mindsets that continue to plague (and ruin) the games industry. *sigh*

Remember when Grogu was a cute baby that was important to the main character and helped him grow? Now he's basically a Muppet doing flips and being thrown off-camera at bad guys because he's a massive merch seller.
Watch the brand new trailer for The Mandalorian and Grogu and experience it only in theaters May 22, 2026.

Finally watched one of Akira Kurosawa's many masterpieces in 4K...Ran. Like watching a painting come to life, it's astonishing how good this still looks. Not to mention the performances and costume design. Beautiful.

7/10 It's...a bit messy. But David Corenswet's great, Krypto's fantastic and the obvious parallels to today's current climate were pretty well handled. Good, honest fun!
Day off tomorrow, was supposed to be in Hyde Park watching ELO but since they had to cancel...late screening of #SupermanMovie
