We may have hit bedrock on what constitutes breaking news.

I've been mentioned in Doctor Who Magazine AND they liked Rise of the Eukaryans! A dream come true!
A photograph of a written review from a magazine, in black text on a white background. The excerpt reads "...you end up in medieval England with the Tenth Doctor, echoing those 'Choose Your Own Adventure' books of yesteryear. But it's Daniel Hardcastle's pun-filled Rise of the Eukaryans which is the best, as narrator Laura Aikman's posho Eleventh Doctor beats back a hostile invasion of sentient bread. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll get a bit snacky. Jamie Lenman".

Happy New Year! My resolution is to PLAY EVEN MORE GAMES!
Steams game playing overview screen showing three icons down the left hand side in a light teal/turquoise on the backgrond of a darker teal. Next to each of the three icons is white text with a progress bar underneath going from dark red to light blue. The first bar says "You unlocked 847 achievements" with an arrow pointing to the middle of the bar. Underneath it says "Steam Median 13". The second bar says "You played 141 games" with an arrow pointing to the middle of the bar. Underneath it says "Steam Median 4". The third and final bar says "Your longest streak was 48 days" with an arrow pointing to the middle. THis bar isn't filled all the way along, and a small amount at the end is teal, the background colour. Underneath it says "Steam Median 6".

After FIVE YEARS my second book is AVALIABLE NOW! The Paradox Paradox has been released early on eBook, with the physical copies shipping out in March next year. If you backed it, check your emails! If you didn't, head over to unbound.com/books/paradox and pick yourself up a copy!
Red to black swirled background with the words "The Paradox Paradox" in mint to the left of the image. Underneath this, white text reads "From Sunday Times Bestselling Author Daniel Hardcastle". To the right of the image is a picture of an e-book or e-reader with an image of the books cover displayed on it. The cover has a similiar red to black swirled background to this image, with The Paradox Paradox in the black center of the swirl. To the bottom of the cover stands a woman, looking at the viewer. On either side of her, silhouettes of people can be seen. In front and to the top right of the e-reader is a green circle containing black text. The text reads "EBOOK OUT NOW! Early release only at Unbound.com". In the bottom right of the image in black is the Unbound Logo of a U.

A plain green background with the Nerd cubed logo in the middle. There are three pixelated quibbles from the game UFO 50. They are the same green as the background with yellow hands and feet, a red nose and a little red antenna. The word Live is in white capital letters at the bottom of the image.

This image is a promotional image for the new planet coaster 2 game, made with models from the game. Two Mascots representing Planet Coaster stand on a beach infront of the Nerd Cubed Logo. The mascots are round while balls with thin legs coming out of the bottom, and thin arms with large cartoonish gloves. The Mascot to the left is wearing a pinkish purple rubber ring around it's waist and a Blush crown that looks like a splash of water. The Mascot on the right is wearing a red sash that resembles the tracks of a rollercoaster and wears a gold crown. They both have wide open smiles and the one on the right is waving. At either side of them there are people looking on, all looking happy. The word "Live" is in white text along the bottom.
