I enjoyed this. A shooter with a different feel and a vibrant palette, and genuinely funny in parts.

I also got banned from the Xbox subreddit a couple of years ago because of this game. Apparently a photo of the in-game sounding rods was inappropriate. Mate, it’s literally an unedited screenshot from an Xbox game.

That is pretty much Max in every movie bar the first one though. Wanders about, reluctantly helps some people, wanders off on his own again.

Mirror’s Edge is such an incredible game. The aesthetics and pace are utterly absorbing.

Minecraft also seems to get frequently forgotten about when talking about Microsoft gaming too. It makes Microsoft around £300m per year in games sales. That’s just the game. Imagine what the merchandise figures are on top of that.

I don’t think game pass is anywhere near unsustainable, when we consider what is actually sustaining it.

It’s a shame because the Series X is an absolutely superb device. The fast storage, quick resume, performance, noise level etc are all incredible, and the backwards compatibility, console streaming, and appeal of game pass make the Series X a wonderful gaming machine. I couldn’t be happier with it.

We all know the reasons why it isn’t as successful as the PS5, but the Series X as a price-to-value product has been woefully under-appreciated.

What I wouldn’t give for a new Deus Ex game. The only news I ever read about one is another cancellation.

Robocop has a similar vibe, albeit a Fisher Price version. And weirdly the new Indiana Jones game kind of scratches that itch, where you’re wandering around an open environment, with multiple access points and secrets hidden away that’ll reward those paying attention. Neither come close to just how detailed and cool the Deus Ex games were though.

Nice one, thanks for that

Clearly I need to signpost my jokes better.

Yeah that’s the badger. Absolute classic.

Cheers, I never know with all the similarly-named communities on the various instances. Downside of the fediverse is often not knowing where the best place to post something is.

This is still my favourite:
