What a wonderful article, thank you @empiremagazine.bsky.social. I've defended Dawn's arrival on the show since day 1, so to see a well written and empathetic appraisal of her character is heartwarming. I just wish the circumstances leading to this article were different. πŸ’œ

Gamepass isn't my preferred way of playing games, but it's undoubtedly a great service to have access to. Played Balatro as it was added this week, I likely wouldn't have were it not on Gamepass. And I think it's wonderful. Such a chill game.

I'd really like to play Nightreign again. Can they announce another network test or a demo or something?

Claire portrait I've been working on in my free time, I plan to animate it too 🫑

Mate, I've just fallen down a lava pit in Minecraft while co-oping with my son. I've lost my diamond sword, diamond pickaxe, full armour. Stacks of gold and iron. YOU have no idea what loss is.

Your reminder for this Friday. If you reply to an email just using an emoji, you need firing into the sun. Thanks.

When I saw that Astro's new level was Japanese themed, I thought maybe it was our time for Rikimaru or Ayame. 😭 Alas.

Heartbroken. πŸ’”

Drifting turbo charged pirate ships against Disco Queen ... Game of the Year? #PirateYakuza

This one hurts very much. Buffy is the show dearest of all to me. I grew up with those characters during those years. They feel closer than some of my actual family. πŸ’” Our family lost our little sister today, our Dawn. Michelle Trachtenberg. Farewell and rest well Michelle. You're extraordinary.

I am devastated.

Just tried the House of the Dead 2 Remake demo and it's absolutely not for me. It lacks everything that made the original special and even the return of the classic music doesn't help. It's just absolutely soulless.

Watchinf Breaking Bad for the first time (it's great). It makes me wonder how a UK spin off would go. >Man gets diagnosed with lung cancer. >Get's treatment on the NHS. >Hopefully survives, not needing to bankrupt himself, avoiding a potential change to crime. >The end.

Just watched Danny Boyle's Sunshine for the first time (no idea why it took this long). I thought it was absolutely amazing. One of the easiest 10/10s in a while.

Like A Dragon Pirate Yakuza is.... actually excellent?! I wasn't sure an entire game dedicated to Majima would really work, but they've made this bizarrely (and effectively) earnest and heartfelt despite the utterly ridiculous staging and story. RGG have only gone and done it. Again.

Fatal Fury City of Wolves is really good. It's nice to play a considerably calmer fighting game for a change. (SF6 is my favourite fighting game ever, but lord is it stressful to play).

I had a quick blast on a level on RE6 a couple of days ago. And I had a spectacularly good time. Those combat mechanics man, they're still some of the best in a third person shooter. It's undoubtedly one of the most flawed and uneven games in the series, but I can't lie. I kinda love it.

Honestly not sure what to expect with this one, but let's see 🀣

Pour one out for those unhinged members of our society, who will soon waste literally hundreds of hours into videos telling us the now 5 year old tale of how trash this is. Meanwhile the functional of us get to enjoy a cool tv show. (PS. Kaitlyn is going to smash this).

I'm really missing Nightreign since the Network test. I think if they ace the mechanics as they seem to have, it'll be a very addictive multiplayer experience.

The spectre of Jim Ryan is going to linger long over Sony isn't it...

This now means I've now completed the majority of the DLC, all the Rememberance bosses and most of the questlines. Crazy good to be honest. What a gift Elden Ring has been.

Just completed Igor's/Bayle the Dread storyline in Elden Ring. Incredible. Was basically a Miyazaki spin on Moby Dick with some of the greatest voice acting ever recorded.

NIGHTREIGN is an excellent spin on Elden Ring. I'm still unsure whether this needs to be a full release as opposed to a DLC addon until we see more, but what is there is great. That FROM have taken Elden Ring and crafted this really fun multiplayer only maddens me more Capcom can't seem to for RE.

To the shock of no-one. Nightreign is spectacular.

Brave New World is certainly not without it's faults, and the reshoots stand out like a sore thumb. That said, it remains mostly coherent and is honestly quite a lot of fun. The cast do their best with the material, the action is decent and it's great to have a break from the multiverse. 7/10

Tides of Annihilation looks really good but man I've had my fill of character action games or whatever you're supposed to call this genre now.

State of whatever that was.

Phenomenal.

I NEED THIS SHINOBI GAME NOW.

As someone who has (somehow) managed to Platinum all the FROM Soulsborned, it's always been good that all the trophies (bar two in Demon's Souls PS5) are all available offline. It concerns me that for Nightreign, this may not be true anymore, and thus only a finite time to get them. 😩

Why did vidya game journos decide to talk a bunch of Bobby fucking Kotick articles today? Didn't we all unanimously agree the man was absolutely awful and fire him off to the history books?! Plaguing my timeline. I'm not interested in what the absolute ghoul of a person thinks about Warcraft.

I can lose to a boss over and over and not feel frustration (well trained thanks to FROM games). You just take a breath and try again. But when you hit retry and the game hits you with: DO YOU WANT TO LOWER YOUR DIFFICULTY??!?!? It boils my blood instantly. 🀣 Piss off game! Let me go back in now!
