Alright, career news thing time. As of this week I've moved from VG247 to Rock Paper Shotgun.
Still a Senior Staff Writer likely doing a lot of similar stuff, but with more stones, processed trees, and scatterguns - email for work stuff is now [email protected]
Revisiting Atomfall’s pasty-pocalyse survival jaunt a year on, I’ve finally been seduced by its hallucinated monks and jarred brains

Modded Cyberpunk 2077's 1000mph flying car reverse bungee jumping should be the world’s glitchiest olympic sport

Chatted to @Rebelzize and the folks at GOG earlier this week to get the lowdown on how the deal to bring @TESRSkyblivion to the latter came together, and how prep for its release is going

You can name your company Bob's builders, but you shouldn't because naturally that's what mine's called.
RoadCraft offers a unique enough twist on the established Spintires formula, if a streamlined one, to be worth giving a go. Here's our review: #RoadCraft

Got some interesting insight into what getting #OblivionRemastered modding up and running has been like for the folks who've been pushing the boundaries early doors, big thanks to Haphestia for taking the time to chat
Oblivion Remastered has the potential to show us “the pinnacle of #ElderScrolls modding”, reckons the pioneer behind the first mod to edit its worldspace #OblivionRemastered

Everything in this actually happened to me in an OG Oblivion playthrough, especially the little chat at the end.
Ok, maybe I need to lay off the skooma
Quick, come to the Meat Harbor: The #ElderScrolls 4 #Oblivion Remastered is real, and it better have brought back the original’s best feature

Went to Birmingham earlier this week for a thing.
Somehow managed to do the best lap of Monaco I've ever done in front of some devs on a racing sim rig with manual gears and only medium traction control on, and then got annihilated at bowling cos it'd turned my arms to jelly

I now have a playlist that segues directly from Revenge into Fuck Her Gently, and then back into a Gangnam Style knock-off about Endermen.

I don't mean to alarm anyone with the power I hold, but I seem to have accidentally convinced an AI Twitter bot that Witchermon Go is a real thing
Witcher 4's 2027 release is a bummer, but Witchermon Go sounds like a fun distraction! Can't wait to catch some virtual monsters while we wait for Geralt's next adventure. CD Projekt's got us covered!

Me and the other VG247ers who've been playing Atomfall this week have all had some good fun with it, I just feel like what's currently on offer falls a fair bit short of its potential - will be keen to see what difference the DLC makes
You might be done with it a lot quicker than you'd anticipate, but while it’s got you, Atomfall is a decently good time.

annnnnnddd here's the main piece that came out of that interview with Hopetown's devs
Hopetown's devs accept that #DiscoElysium’s shadow looms over them, but say the “seed of an idea” for a spiritual successor has evolved into “something different”

There's been a lot of chatter about Hopetown's Disco spiritual successor credibility ahead of its Kickstarter going live, so I asked a couple of its devs some things about that - thanks to Grant and Piotr for being willing to answer my qs
Despite all the chatter about being a #DiscoElysium successor, Hopetown devs say "you don't need to have made Disco Elysium to make something great"

*insert joke about Atomfall just being a documentary about what it's currently like to live in the north*
Atomfall hands-on: Forget #Fallout, sneaking into the shed of a bloke called Alf to nick cornish pasties is a bit more rough and ready #Atomfall

I like Avowed, just in case you don't pick that up as I drift from paraphrasing Yeats, to Eminem, to Smash Mouth, and then eventually some gobshite on Xbox Live
Becoming #Avowed’s most toxic 360 no-scoper isn't a walk in the weird mushroom park, but for me, it was just a Sunday

Big thanks to @Rebelzize for taking the time to chat about Skyblivion ahead of its showcase at @C3Modders this weekend
“It's modding on steroids” #Skyblivion project lead talks progress towards a 2025 release, those official #Oblivion remake rumours, and if #Fallout: London offers any lessons

I liked it, though admittedly how much you do will probably depend on how much you enjoy Black Flag's saily bits and a fair amount of Infinite Wealth recycling (though I think the latter's fine to a degree in this kind of shorter spin-off)
Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii isn't just a brilliant name, it's a spin-off which somehow pulls off being both a great pirate game and a pretty damn good Yakuza game. Our review:

Annnd here's the main feature from my chat with Kaizen
about PMA, delving into depth about what's gone into making it, and allowing me to check linking one of the greatest Japanese TV clips of all-time in a professional capacity off my bucket list
As #PromiseMascotAgency nears the end of its costumed run through the explosions of development, its devs are feeling good about handing their "band of freaks" over to you
