And the fourth episode was a crossover with @reddwarfpod.bsky.social as I was joined by Red Dwarf and Simon The Sorceror fan Ashley Day to talk about whiny British Teenagers in silly hats voiced by Chris Barrie!

Seoirse Dunbar from @adventgamepod.bsky.social and I talked about The Colonel's Bequest for episode 3, and surprised ourselves by how we figured it may have been way ahead of it's time in it's ambition...

After a gap of nearly two and a half years, the second episode of the podcast arrived in the now guest-led format of the show, very similar to how my show @pickadisc.bsky.social is structured. This time, @ianbuckley.bsky.social talked about the amazing "Gone Home"...

A few conversations at #AdventureX reminded me its been 6 years since I ran #pointandclickmas back over on Twitter before *gestures vaguely*. We partnered to give away dozens of games across 24 days of advent from indie developers.
Should I bring it back this year? I'm thinking probably 12 days..

Over the past year, there's been some absolutely astounding games released. In my head there's a Super Smash Brothers Brawl going on between four games for my number 1 game of the year.

I resolve to try and use Bluesky more. Because why not. I used to like using The Old Microblogging place to ramble.

Anyway NEW EPISODES ARE COMING IN 2026! I'm have recordings booked. People interested in being guests. Gonna batch record as many eps I can before releasing more.

Meanwhile, if you really want to hear the eloquent and unmumbling (ha!) Black Country tones of me speaking - you can venture into the alternative dimension where I host a fortnightly Music Podcast. A new episode dropped today!

One day trip to @adventurex.bsky.social today! Managed to chat to Roses and Matt of Save Your Game, told a bunch of developers that I loved their games and also met up with my fellow members of the @adventgamepod.bsky.social team!

I also realised I don't use Bluesky enough.

Saddened to hear of the passing of Roberta Vaughan - I only met her very very briefly at AdventureX in 2023, but her impact and legacy in the Adventure Game community is immense. My thoughts go to her loved ones and friends.
