Punchdrunk's new show is basically a live video game, with founder Felix Barrett referencing Immortality and Blue Prince in an interview with TimeOut. Lander 23 sounds interesting, although I will forever miss the slow burn of their white mask productions.

I’ve just finished six weeks working with the Lionesses social team and it’s still not quite sinking in. We won! To play a small part in telling the story of such an incredible group of women is truly an honour and something I will look back on very proudly.

This comment on the worst food people ate at Glastonbury this year is doing me in 😂😭

Amazing contract as Senior Social Media Manager at Soccer Aid has come to an end for the year. Just the best few months, culminating in a ridiculous 5-4 win for the World XI and over £15M raised for UNICEF.

New additions to the vinyl collection - including a new piece of furniture to house it all. Physical media…it’s good.

Today’s vinyl haul. Any collectors out there?

12 years since a Bleacher Report editing mishap made my article better than my writing ever could.

Returnal’s final biome has really stuck with me. It’s *crushingly* intense down there. What a game.

Some sweet pick ups for Record Store Day.

Delighted to say the manuscript for my first book is completed. More details to follow when the time is right, but if you enjoy horror and gaming, it may be for you.

Treated myself to an Analogue Pocket and it’s just wonderful. Very impressed with the screen.

Hear me out: this photo, but as a Shirley Jackson-style horror story. Be right back.

Yep.

My wife just pulled this from a pack of The Lord of the Rings cards from 2003. Her face when she realised!

A reminder to never download Balatro for when you need a poo.

My Spotify Wrapped combined metalcore and JoJo. There’s nothing like range.

First tattoo in progress! Started getting my Hades sleeve last week. So happy with the early Poseidon work; more characters and colour to come.
