We've been blasting through The X-Files, and loving it, but now we're on the third season and shit is starting to get really, really weird.

Mulder is visited by a gang of Michael Myers, and Scully is eating KFC over human remains. The mystery continues to deepen...

Spotted this earlier today for sale in a charity shop...

This is just Liz Truss, right?

I'm back on the IGN UK Podcast to tell you everything you'd need to know about the recently released Routine, and why I'm somewhat disappointed.

Plus, we've got hot Metroid Prime 4 chat, and a spoiler-filled segment all about Stranger Things! A lot is going on...

Conversely, I played Clive Barker's Jericho early this morning, and it really is one of the most video game games of all time.

It's a bit charming? Hanging out with your supernatural buddies, shooting hallways of demons, with everyone wearing too much leather... We scored this a 5.6 on IGN 💀

Recent releases have left me feeling a bit tired, and I wanted to start something a bit different tonight, so I loaded up American McGee's Alice.

The first few levels have already convinced me this is something worth sticking with, and that id Tech 3 charm is just 😘👌

Beautiful game so far.

My gameplay for Routine is now live on IGN! It should give you a good taste as to what to expect when playing its five-ish-hour sci-fi horror campaign.

Tomorrow, on the IGN UK Podcast, I'll share my thoughts on the game itself, and let's just say I'm a bit mixed... Anyway:

I don't have many pictures of myself, but looking back at older videos is a pretty interesting way to see how much I've changed from 2019 to 2025.

Jokes that you can tell when COVID happened based on my hair as well.

My piano tutor handed me something a little different this December and tasked me with learning a handful of bars from 'Knockin' On Heaven's Door' and I think it sounds alright!

It's been a year of learning, and I've only now inched closer to playing music from the last 30+ years 🥲

I pronounced the letter "Z" incorrectly, and now my Pokémon street cred is DUSTED 💀🔫

I've gone down the rabbit hole of playing multiplayer games on retro consoles, and since setting up my Xbox, I've now sorted my PlayStation 2 as well 🥹

It's shockingly easy to play the PS2 online with original hardware, and here I am, in an active lobby for Star Wars: Battlefront 2!

I'm all for long form videos, but someone chucked me a link for a nearly 18 hour long retrospective on Star Wars Outlaws...

When the video is nearly as long as a playthrough of the base game, I think I'm happy to skip.

I've owned an original Xbox for years by this point, but it wasn't until recently that I wanted to find out if multiplayer is still possible, and amazingly, it is!

Thanks to Insignia, a free XBL alternative, you can still play Halo 2, PGR, Rainbow Six 3, and more in 2025. Mental.

You'd think the latest poster for The Mandalorian & Grogu would have a bit more sauce to it...

It doesn't have to be Drew Struzan's level of art, but like, who'd want to hang this up on their wall in 30 years?

So, do old people really go round insisting that the PlayStation One should only be remembered as the PSX, or is that just a meme?

Christmas has come early to the Gomez household, with a before versus after that I've been waiting nearly a year for 🥲

And this is just over WIFI! I'M SO EXCITED TO DOWNLOAD A 600MB INDIE GAME IN ONE SECOND!

You don't often receive a history lesson from a Warhammer fantasy and 40K writer.

Still, we had Andy Hall (Principal Narrative Designer and Writer) break down the history of Warhammer video games, and I've edited the video! Anyhow, for the Emperor!

I don't have a vested interest in this version of Batman, but Hot Toys announced a new figure for Michael Keaton’s Batman, and some of the shots they posted are hilarious.

Did he make any of these goofy faces in the films?

I wasn't expecting The Séance of Blake Manor to be a GOTY contender, but after 21 hours, a single playthrough, and smashing every mystery, I think it's fair to say I enjoyed myself.

Fingers crossed people more articulate than myself can spread the good word, because it's truly a fantastic game!

Thanks to our list, I'm replaying Modern Warfare 2019, and I don't think I can be unconvinced that it isn't the best reboot this series has ever seen.

A consistently great campaign throughout, and the gunplay is so damn smooth. I'm still unbelievably salty that it's two sequels were so damn shite.

Today was a bad day to discover the Spider-Man 1977 collectable figure announcement, which not only shadow dropped last night, and was limited to only 600 units, but also sold out within minutes 🥲🔫

I loved Nicholas Hammond's version of Spidey as a kid, and I'm actually salty I missed out on this!

Well, I think it's safe to say that my first-time playthrough of Pacific Drive is going well 👍

Crazy that you can go from an episode like "Ice", which is surprisingly brilliant, to a dud such as "Space"...

I wasn't quite expecting an SCP-tier astronaut ghost to be the villain, especially one that looks so not scary 🫢

Fahrenheit: Indigo Prophecy is now the 125th game I've completed live on Twitch, and let me tell you, I've been lied to regarding its quality...

The final act is awful! Lost all semblance of pacing, randomly introduced the internet as a villain, and threw in a sudden love interest! Mental.

Earlier this month, I had the chance to hop onto a call with David Bateson, Agent 47 himself!

It was, genuinely, one of the coolest things I've done in a while and by the end of it? Well, we got Tobias Rieper reacting to a bunch of silly memes over on IGN - please enjoy 🙏

I've worked on close to 800 videos while at IGN, but recently, I've been enjoying doing a bit more on-camera work!

This Call of Duty Campaigns Ranked video is one of the latest examples of that, which I'm actually kind of proud of 🙏
