Dan's making enemies! Here is Split Head in both concept and final, a different version of the Exorcist Bed enemy. He's all turret, no filler, 100% body horror. What do you think? #indiegames #bodyhorror

I’ve played every mainline Pokemon game since release - and I still don’t trust the Master Ball to catch 100%

I’ve wanted to play this for so long. Lucky to find one in an auction where no one knew what it was.

Oof, has it been a fortnight already?! SAGE 2026 was epic: thanks so much to the SAFC for putting on another great show. As always we love showing folks the game, and it was great to be a part of this amazing gamedev community in South Australia. Until next time! @safc #indiegames #indiegamedev

Hey, biggest news of my life in too many ways to list... Hopefully you'll all let your stores know you want this thing as much as I've been wanting to draw it as far back as I can remember. Head over to @bloody-disgusting.com for more deets!

Returning to this 1997 EB games catalog - https://archive.gamehistory.org/item/14f2d94d-49c7-449c-984d-44babeedb314 - we see a selection of Nintendo 64 classics, including Rare's seminal Bond FPS GoldenEye.

It's been an incredible privilege to write the TMNT for Mirage (the first comics I read and collected), Alien (the first comics I had on a standing order), and Ghostbusters (one of my favourite things growing up and to this day), but one want always stood above all of those, and, well, this's it...

Pisnthere a reason why the animation in Season 3 of One Punch Man looks so cheap?

Watching #onepunchman for the first time. The skill this series is crafted with - for a gag character to be the man protagonist, yet the supporting cast be the driving force of the narrative is just sublime.

I have an original arcade of this - such a great time. Hilarious how short the game is when you don't have to keep pumping coins into it.

We’re all in agreement that Austin Theory was in the hood and attacked Bron, right? He’s an agent for Seth. #royalrumble #wwe

In Mario's Early Years: Fun with Numbers for the SNES, there is an Easter egg where three photorealistic developer heads will appear on Mario's windowsill and chant "Hello, hello, hello" if one very specific pixel of the screen is clicked.

You know you're middle aged when 80's synth music puts you in an almost meditative state.

I rewatched the Matrix the other night - fantastic film with a really great script. Then watched Matrix Reloaded. That has to be one of the biggest misfires in film history, right?

it is funny how all the fictional monsters we imagined taking over the U.S. for the last 30 years are objectively better people than the current regime. Give me Skeletor, please. Cobra Commander wants to run shit? He can hardly be worse than what we're rockin' today. It's worth a shot!
