I've been kidnapping criminals in Red Dead then taking them to where the train tracks split n sticking them on one side.
If the train hits them, they die.
If it misses, I set them free.
My Arthur Morgan is basically Jigsaw now...
Can't get my head around people getting shitty that kids are discovering music cause of a telly show. I got into Iron Maiden when I was 13 cause they're on the soundtrack for Carmageddon 2. It doesn't matter how you find something. Who has time to give a shit about this??
Yesterday was my last day at IGN.
I'm off to do something stupidly fun with two of my best mates.
We'll have loads more info on January 7th n hopefully it doesn't all go tits up <3
Just cause I told the story to a mate last night who didn't know/couldn't believe it. Here's the broad strokes why you might see
#CofiwchDryweryn
this week.
65 years ago parliament approved the flooding of the Tryweryn Valley to provide water for a bit of Liverpool. (1/5)
Just noticed what now happens when you type "far fetched" into the Netflix search bar...
Be the change you want to see in the world 🤣
(fair play
@NetflixUK
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽)
Don't usually get nervous interviewing people but recently spoke to Jamie Lee Curtis n genuinely forgot I had a Michael Myers tattoo until I went in n she noticed it straight away.
Got very embarrassed but she was lovely about the entire thing...
We wanted to do something special for the trailer for our new show so we got the lady who did the intros for Dark Souls 1 & 3 to do the voice for us.
She was so lovely and patient and enthusiastic n made these three nerds very happy...
More than 500k people have watched our 'Can We Beat Dark Souls on a Transatlantic Flight?' video.
AND our new channel now has more subscribers than our old subchannel.
I'm so proud of our company n seeing people really get into our new stuff is just brilliant <3
The deleted IGN post with links to how you can help Palestinian civilians is still available here. I'm sure my sisters and brothers at that site would appreciate you checking it out regardless of the actions of some of the people above them:
"It's a small minority spoiling it for the rest of us"
Lads, where the fuck have you been like?? There's more of them than there are of us! The most dangerous thing we can do now is write what's happening off as a few bad racist apples when the whole orchard's absolutely fucked.
My head's been in the shed for a while now but I started running in November n it's really helped me out. Set myself a little goal of running 10k without stopping by January 31st n after a few spectacularly failed attempts managed to get it done on Sunday.
Said goodbye to our flat tonight which was also the first
@RKGvideo
studio.
You were small, hot n you made us all look bloody pale but you gave us a lovely start, little white room.
How lush is this?!
The city of Kitakyushu in Japan has welcomed the Welsh rugby team with big banners, lit up their castle in red n done up their buses/emergency vehicles with messages of support. What a lovely thing <3
It kinda doesn't matter cause we've made a deal that she's gonna live forever but my favourite furry lady is 9 years old today.
I fell madly in love with her the day we met n my life wouldn't be the same without her ❤️
This is going to be a shitter of a week for so many reasons.
Just in case you need it, here's Coco giving me an encouraging high-five. Imagine that's you instead of me ❤️
It's hard not to get a bit soppy about our first E3 as RKG.
I feel so ridiculously lucky n grateful to work with these two legends n to all our Patreon supporters for making all of this nonsense possible ❤
Cofiwch Dryweryn means "Remember Tryweryn".
But for me and a lot of other people it also means to remember that a primarily English government will very rarely have Wales' best interests at heart. (5/5)
We uploaded our first video together 7 years ago today. Bonkers to look at how far we've come n how a silly project genuinely changed our lives.
We're so lucky to have the community that we do n I'm so excited for everything that's coming next.
It's so important to vote on Thursday 12th.
Send me a photo of you outside your polling station after voting n I'll pick one person at random to win this Dark Souls vinyl set.
It's a thing of beauty that I've never been able to open n I'll give it away to one lucky voter 👍🏽
Charles Martinet banging out the same 9 Mario words for half his life n then Nintendo are like "we'll take it from here, Chuck but you can do a fuckin Whomp or summin if we remember"
Chris Pratt as Mario
Anya Taylor-Joy as Peach
Charlie Day as Luigi
Jack Black as Bowser
Keegan-Michael Key as Toad
Seth Rogen as Donkey Kong
Fred Armisen as Cranky Kong
Kevin Michael Richardson as Kamek
Sebastian Maniscalco as Spike
Surprise cameos from Charles Martinet
Just did a couple of big wheelies at the Square booth n the bloke that runs it was like "Oi! No professionals". I said ‘I’m not a professional’. He said ‘Well you should be, if I was you I’d take up motorbike racing and if you drive like that you’ll be the best in Midgar’
This time last year I was getting ready for a sleepless night ahead of launching my own company with two of my best mates. I've had one of the best years of my life n I can't thank everyone enough for their support either on Patreon or just your nice words, advice n booze ❤️
The first three months of
@rkgvideo
have frickin flown by.
Jacking in a big proper job n doing our own thing has been a load of hard work but we're having a brilliant laugh.
Huge thanks to everyone in the industry and our amazing community for all the support ❤️
I said goodbye to my Grandfather on Friday. He was a properly lovely gent who absolutely loved dogs, saw the funny side of everything and was always looking for a wind-up.
This is him riding my baby bike around the living room on a Christmas morning for a laugh...
I never thought pickaxes would ever become such a big part of my life but here we are.
I fancied commemorating the end of our Demon's Souls adventure with something silly so here we are...
Cab driver just made me promise to speak to someone n get the 2008 Metal Gear Online servers switched back on. He was so upset.
When I got out I accidentally said "leave it with me" n now I'm stressed he's telling his MGO clan they're back in business.
Whenever strangers come up to stroke my dog, I make sure I go "Oh my god! She NEVER lets strangers pet her like that?! She must like you!".
It's all a lie. That's my little present for them/the universe.
I know Sam Mendes n everyone involved with 1917 will be gutted not to get the Best Film Oscar but just goes to show you can't cut corners with stuff like editing - you get out what you put in, lads.
I said he could stay a couple of nights (that was a week ago).
Now he's trying to get
@Krupa
round so we can do
"Prepare To Try: After Dark".
Please help me.
Tonight on
#C4News
what is it about
#Fortnite
that’s making it so addictive? Why are some calling for it to banned? And should all video games have a Child Impact Assessment? We created Gaming Heaven for a bunch of 11 year olds in the studio to find out.
Missing that moment when you're out for a 'quick pint' with a mate:
You've finished the round n one of you is like "i can probably do ONE more beer" - both of you knowing full well you're gonna finish that round n probably gonna leave the pub 6 pints deep by 9pm.
Best days.
Dunno about you lot but I'm starting to lose the plot after seeing friends/folks in the games industry continually threatened, abused n in some cases scared to live in their own homes because they review/make FUCKIN TOYS!?
Installed Two Points Hospital for my lady last night cause she said she missed Theme Hospital.
First thing she said this morning when I opened my eyes...
"...you've ruined my life"
80% sure she was referring to the game but will need to check on that later.
Big up to the lady behind me during Dune who pointed at Timmy Chalamet n asked her mate really loudly:
"is HE Dune??"
I loved the film. I love you more.
Today is our 2nd birthday!
We didn't expect to be spending it in lockdown. We should be streaming a party right now. But that'll have to wait.
For now, here's an update on how we're approaching 2021, given the current circumstances.
🎂 🎉
One of the most disheartening things about working at IGN was seeing the way a lot of the wormier members of this industry comment publicly with such wild authority on how the site is run.
We have no idea what's going on behind the scenes so maybe just shut the fuck up, is it?
