Didn't know so many emperors were murdered by their guard, and now quietly mind blown at the fact that's very probably the number one cause of emperor death in ancient Rome

Been around games journalism long enough that watching everyone crowing over someone else making a fuck-up is just wearying and a little sad.

This week, I'm back writing @vgim.bsky.social

I talk Japanese politics, hobbits & lycra,while examining why we're drowning in livestream showcases.

Cheers to @dompepin.bsky.social @jaketucker.bsky.social @indoorheroes.bsky.social for the insight

Why are there so many video game showcases?, 31/07/2025

Or, why there were 30+ events with 7070 games for you to watch this Summer

The cover art for Crackdown, specifying that the game includes an invitation to the Halo 3 beta

Jake Tucker @jaketucker.bsky.social · Jun 12

Nothing that's playable (whether in early access or fully released) before December, and I won't be able to get back to everyone. Sorry!

Hello! Putting together our longlist for PC Gaming Show's Most Wanted, and we've got plenty of cool stuff on our radar.

But, we don't know what we don't know, so if you're working on something rad, drop the storelink / footage below. I'm about to take two weeks off, but will look everything over.

Hey, I hosted the PC Gaming Show. How'd that happen?! Big shout out to everyone that worked on the show and especially whoever thought up bringing me along to build a gaming PC during it. I had a blast.

Now I'm just hoping they'll let me keep the dungarees...

I did a gams journalism for PC Gamer about @failbettergames.com's very cool new game Mandrake www.pcgamer.com/games/sim/le...

Leaving Fallen London: How Failbetter Games spent several years growing hope and ‘discovering the art of the possible’ in their new eldritch farming sim
