Remember when you crouched on my head and I boost-jumped you over to the other side of the bridge? Or that time you were riding shotgun on a mongoose and wondered what would happen if you swung a gravity hammer? Oh damn, remember taking the bridge of the flag carrier on Legendary? Split-screen Halo has consumed most of my gaming childhood, and now 383 are killing it. Continue reading »

Glasto Links
Glastonbury is currently on-going in a field somewhere in England. I saw a line-up of artists last night and realised I’m so far removed from that whole area of music it wasn’t even worth Spotifying their names. Anyway, Saturday links inbound. Continue reading »
E3 2015
I love games, so E3 is kind of like a Christmas-come-early type affair. Anyway, some thoughts on what’s been shown so far. Continue reading »
