Calling all Silly Geese! If you're tired of the tribulations of life and feel like exclaiming, do it with the PB What the Flock mug!

Dishwasher and microwave safe ceramic, actual geese sold separately (probably?). Original pixel-art geese included.

We had a wonderful family trip to Legoland (couldn't recommend it more, BTW. Staff were amazing).

I did NOT think we were going to find a reference but we did! No sign of the Luggage, though.

Is it just me? Anybody else?

I know that technically I shouldn't be able to. But also I definitely CAN hear this picture.

Should I try and push past my fear? Is it worth it?

I am STILL too much of a fraidy cat to play Alone in the Dark, the New Nightmare, but I wish I wasn't!

One of my favorite tactical titles. Full Spectrum Warrior was initially designed for the US Military but I'm so glad it came to public release.

I hit RoboCop Rogue City hard on release. It's very slow but I found it to be incredibly faithful to the original film franchise, and great fun overall.

Looking back at it today and it's such a dark and gritty trip to old Detroit city.

I think the raptor was my favourite thing to play as but what was yours? Did you ever get your hands on Jurassic Park's Post World game?

I was SO bad at it when I was younger, and not much has changed tbh 🥰 also never knew it breached the Geneva Convention 😂

Do you have any weird gaming / sound memory combinations?

It was 1998. My brother got Tenchu for Christmas. He also got the Phil Collins' Greatest Hits CD. Which is why I can't play this without singing Easy Lover.

I'd like to apologies for all of my social media basically reverting to posts about titles.

I'd LIKE to. But honestly I'm not sorry and it will likely continue.

I would give Apple £9 to change the show's name name from "Ted Lasso" to "Richmond". Because it's not about him. It never was.

I've had a new game sent through today - Let Bions be Bygones. Film-noir detective point and click puzzle. It seems very dark at the moment but I'll be doing a giveaway for you Soon™

I fell all the way back in love with XCOM 2 on last night's stream. Do you have any top XCOM tips?

I always colour code soldiers. Red for Rangers, Blue for Specialists, Yellow for Grenadiers, White for Sharpshooters (to easily see how abilities can be used on the battlefield).

Oh lovely, helpful people of the internet. I am Natalie Imbruglia'd (torn). Command and Conquer Tiberian Sun, or XCOM 2. I love both of these games, and one of them will be streaming tonight at https://twitch.tv/pixelbandits.

Which one pulls on your heartstrings the most?

Back in Dungeon Alchemist today, getting lost in the amount of customisation and creativity available even without the upcoming Magic update.

If you've not checked out Dungeon Alchemist yet, you definitely should if you're a DM or just love map making https://www.pixelbandits.org/2023/06/dungeon-alchemist-early-access-review

What have you been playing today?

Some more incredible games on my playlist today. A little retro gaming and a little virtual reality! Though Resident Evil in VR still scares the PANTS Off me.

Castle of Illusion was mad but so much fun. I remember being in hospital for an extended period back in the early 90s, and this (and Ecco the Dolphin) really helped me through! One for the Retro Gaming fans here.

HEY! Huge thanks to Wired Productions and Rogue Sun because today I have my very first video game credit.

Something which might be small for those properly "in-industry" but this is huge for me after being a passionate gamer for 35(ish) years.

Her bandits! What game do you love but everybody else things is just ok or a bit meh?

For me, one of the major overlooked gems is Granstream Saga. Really enjoyed it both way back when and even today. What's your under-sold classic?
