Ho Ho Ho it’s nearly that time of year when we all pretend to like one another, handing out crudely wrapped crap and maybe a card if you could be bothered, lots of drinking and then eating a Christmas meal where everyone pretends to like turkey and Brussels sprouts. Really a meal consisting nothing but...
Oi Oi! It’s that time of year again when we all bow and worship the ground that Geoff Keighley walks upon. That’s right it’s E3 2023… oh. I got that wrong. No one worships Geoff Keighley. But it is definitely E3 week!… oh. Sorry I got that wrong too. It’s nothing important at all. Just ...
