19: The Other Football (Wed 7th October 2015) Hello once again! As regular readers will know, last week I was banging on about American Football. This week, I’m going to be chatting about the other football (or “English Soccer” as I understand fans of the sport prefer it to be known) as I’ve been asked to review both FIFA 16 from EA Sports, and Konami’s Pro Evolution Soccer – better known as PES 2016. I’ve always had a strange relationship...

18: Football at Wembley (Wed 30th September 2015) Hello dear reader. Before we go any further, let me say a big thank you to those who came and said hi at EGX’s after-party last weekend – it’s reassuring to know that SOMEONE is reading this stuff and that it’s not universally hated. BIG. WIN. This week, I’m incredibly excited because I’m off to the football at Wembley. Not ‘proper’ football. I’m off to the ‘other’ ‘proper’ ‘football’. American Football. Miami...

17: All Change! (Wed 23rd September 2015) Well, what a difference a week makes, dear reader! The more astute amongst you will have noticed that this article has moved from a Friday to a Wednesday and there’s a very good reason for that. Well, there’s a reason for that. Whether you think it’s a good one or not is entirely in your hands. Basically, I’ve had to juggle my workload as a result of some lovely new projects I’m involved...

#16: To Infinity…And Bankruptcy! (Fri 18th September 2015) “Toys To Life”. That’s what they’re calling it. Toys. To. Life. If you’re not familiar with “Toys To Life” as a concept, close your eyes and imagine what it is. Maybe you see a teddy bear wandering around your living room? Or a brightly coloured xylophone shouting obscenities at you. Or something else. I’ve no idea. I’ve never met you, and haven’t the slightest idea how your mind works. What “Toys To...

15: I Am The New Miyamoto (Fri 11th September 2015) If you own a Wii U, stop reading this now and go and buy a copy of Super Mario Maker. If you’re still here, stop reading this now and go and buy a Wii U and a copy of Super Mario Maker. If you’re reading this, you’re either an idiot or incapable of following the simplest of instructions, but we’ll soldier on regardless. While you read the witterings of a...

#14: Pacman, Betamax and Runner Beans Hello, dear reader. Forgive the brevity this week - I’m currently running round like a runner bean running round a roundabout. Hence that dreadful sentence that would never normally make the edit. Firstly, a huge thanks to the brilliant guys at GamerDisco and Replay Events for having me along to Play Margate last weekend. I had a lot of fun meeting everyone there, and it was a genuine honour to be with Jon Stoodley...

#13: The Big Three: Edinburgh, London, Margate (Fri 21st August 2015) Hello once again, dear reader! What a week it’s been – on Monday, me and “King” Rob Sedgebeer performed WiFi Wars at the Pleasance, as part of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival – a huge thank you to those of you who came along and said hi afterwards! Yesterday I was in London for the final voiceover session for my Minecraft TV series ‘Digging Deeper’ on Ginx TV - there’s...

#12: Playstation Plus  Hello, dear reader. I’m writing this just moments after finishing my weekly stream on twitch with hairy game-chum Chris Slight (http://www.twitch.tv/twomorewhiteguys/) . Once again, we’ve been streaming from my PS4, as we find it the easiest and most reliable solution. Every time we’ve tried with the Xbox One we’ve had issues with sound or buffering so we pretty much exclusively stream PS4 games now. As we mostly just use the streams as an excuse to chat with...

#11: Steve McNeil - LOL Addict  Uh oh. It’s happened again. About once a year I stumble across a game that just devours my time. Civilisation Revolution had me studying strategy guides at 3am. Minecraft has stolen literally thousands of hours of my life. But now there’s a new game in town. They’ve not even made me give them any money. It’s completely free, every game’s different, and it’s so deep that you can spend the rest of your life...
