Wolf Creek is back, baby, and this time it's 4K (from the outback legends at @imprint_films). Very interesting to revisit this Aussie classic and marvel at how damn dark it really is. Also, check out the fancy flanno-themed hardbox! https://t.co/V18UtXbQYv

#BallxPit: is it pronounced "Ball ex Pit", "Ball times Pit" or just "Ball Pit"? We may never know. One thing I can confirm, though: it's an absolute banger. https://t.co/LvPCyZCeot

Here's me having a run at #Battlefield6: an expansive multiplayer war sim where you'll constantly die at the hands of some Russian 13-year-old named BonerKilla69. War is hell, but Battlefield 6 is actually pretty great. https://t.co/3xHgjfiNol

Here's me having a crack at the newest Silent Hill entry, #silenthillf. A game that has you face off against the scariest, meanest, most hurtful dark entities of all: teenage girls. https://t.co/jU0RqO1i8u
