What video game have you been playing the longest, but still haven't completed?

I'm started up my old save on Everspace once again! This time I'm determined to see it through.

Is there a game which you absolutely adore, but you couldn't possible explain even at gunpoint?

The #Discworld video games are 100% my choice. You play a Wizzard, right, but he can't do magic, and he has a box on legs, and to capture an octopus you need custard

I need a name!! What would your best tabletop game shop name be?

I'm kicking off this week's stream with some chill shop management. Come and join me, and we'll pretend that we could totally do this in real life.

Our current Sunday retro video game is up on show, and I think I've decided what's coming next as well, can you guess?!

This is my problem. I can't just pick one game to be the "best ever" - YOU pick one!

I can't even narrow it down to a single year.

Guess the Game last week sent a LOT of you the wrong way! Simpsons' Hit and Run was the WRONG answer, I'm afraid (even if I can see why you went there).

Did you ever jump into Road Rage? It's Crazy Taxi with a not-entirely-child-safe edge :D

Tonight I am asking you, is there a better film-franchise tie in than Bloodstone 007? I don't think so!

Join me live in a mo to go through some true Bond escapades and get ready for First Light, live on 360 with Bloodstone at twitch.tv/pixelbandits

I always used to think the PS1 intro was the outright console-intro winner... But I recently discovered the GameCube intro and it's just so CUTE (volume up!)

Here's your opportunity to show off! What's the toughest achievement / trophy you've earned?

I always used to say the Mile High Club on Call of Duty 4, but Sniper Elite 5's Best of the Best might have just overtaken it.

Is there a game you're been PROPERLY sucked into, lately?

I streamed The Last Caretaker last week, and I have hardly been able to stop thinking about it. A really unique take on the survival-crafting genre.

Just here pootling along in my boat. don't mind me.

Is this Guess the Game too hard? I've given a clue but I guess we'll find out if nobody remembers it.

Silent Scope - I LOVE it in arcades but the PS2 game was also really good!

These people don't exist right? I don't think I know anybody who has an un-healthy obsession with paying too much money for small plastic models...

Sure hope they don't come to my shop on Thursday.

I don't think you can change my mind on this, unless you have something REALLY great.

After extensive consideration, Triple Triad is the best video game mini game ever made.
