Game #21 of 2026 ✅ Planet of Lana II Xbox Series X 🎮 I loved this. Mechanically robust with some fun puzzles. Audio is great & it’s visually stunning. A lot of improvements on the original.

Game #20 of 2026 ✅ Halo: Campaign Evolved Xbox Series X 🎮 A great time running through this with friends on Legendary (which wasn’t as bad as I remembered either). Great to revisit the OG. Halo will always have a place in my heart.

Grateful. Even when life is heavy. Just grateful.

Before / after you ask if he wants a pup cup!

Game #19 of 2026 ✅ Escape the Backrooms Xbox Series X 🎮 Had a lot of fun with this. Played the entire thing with 2-3 friends. Don't think I'd have enjoyed it anywhere near as much if I was playing without a group. Some great jumpscares in there.

Spending time with him away from everything is my favourite thing in the world. Some of us rented a lake for the morning, for him & 3 of his Labrador pals. Great to see him swim & retrieve from water.

Game #18 of 2026 ✅ Buckshot Roulette Xbox Series X 🎮 Feels cheap adding this to games I've finished, but the single player can be done in 20-30 minutes, so I did it. I only really play this with friends every now & then, it's a fun enough way to kill a little time together.

Game #17 of 2026 ✅ Donkey Kong Bananza Nintendo Switch 2 🎮 It took me a few attempts to click with it, but I'm glad it finally did. I enjoyed it & it's a really solid experience, but felt that certain parts fell short with me. Also that final boss difficulty spike was INSANE!

I’ve not been posting much lately. I’ve been trying to be in the moment more, with & for those around me. I just wanted to share these photos from this morning’s dog walk, as the sun came up. Deftones in my headphones & my best mate. Can’t ask for anything more!

Game #16 of 2026 ✅ Pokémon FireRed Nintendo Switch 2 🎮 A lot of nostalgia playing this one. I never realised when I was younger what a grind it was to get your Pokémon to a decent level to take on the Elite Four! I used: Charizard, Snorlax, Zapdos, Hitmonchan, Lapras & Machoke.

Game #15 of 2026 ✅ Gears of War Reloaded PlayStation 5 🎮 My favourite game of all time. Finally got around to doing the campaign on the PS5 version. I’m so excited for Gears of War: E-Day.

Way too hot for Ozzy to sleep upstairs tonight so I grabbed a mattress topper from the garage & we’re having a little sleepover in the living room! We have 3 fans on, Japan vs. Sweden on TV & the windows open! He’s finally settled 🥹

34.5°C with no breeze & humidity rising every hour?

It is done 🙂‍↕️

Very few things better or more rewarding than getting out & walking with your dog.

Facing a second full week without my adhd meds & I’m going through some horrendous physical & mental withdrawal symptoms. I only came back to post this before I disappear again for a while. It’s Ozzy’s 1st birthday today & I thought he looked cute in his hat 🎂

My chest has been tight for days dreading today. I can’t believe it’s been a year since I last saw him. The hardest goodbye, pain that I can’t put in to words, but that’s the price you pay for loving them so much. My beautiful boy. I hope I get to see him again one day 🤍🕊️

The Onimusha demo was great! Combat felt like it had weight behind it, it's fluid & responsive. Hitting parries & dodges felt satisfying. That boss fight was extremely rewarding when you got the timing down. Really looking forward to the full game!

Gears of War is my favourite franchise of all time. The first Gears of War game is my favourite game of all time. I can’t wait to see Gears E-Day later. I’ve got that feeling in my stomach you get when you’re stupidly excited about something 🥲

He’s fallen asleep waiting for Summer Game Fest. He was hoping to see a new Bark Souls!

What better way to start my week off than with Summer Game Fest & buying a new game to lose myself in? 🤩

Game #14 of 2026 ✅ 007 First Light. PlayStation 5 🎮 Platinum Trophy 🏆 Incredible ride from start to finish. Didn't feel like anything was filler. Great visuals, voice acting was fantastic too. So many good games coming out this year & this is right up there.

Winning the European Cup isn’t for everybody! #LFC

About 5hrs in to 007 First Light & yeah it's fantastic. Visuals are beautiful, it's immersive, voice acting is top quality & combat feels so satisfying.

He’s watching the lady make his pup cup.

I’m very lucky to have such a beautiful dog! 🐾 ♥️ He’s just watched me make him some ice lollies & put some lick mats/Kongs in the freezer. Now he’s trying his best to be patient until they’re frozen.

11 months old today & one of the best decisions I’ve ever made 💛

I’d love to know why on my day off I’m awake at 6.30am with a swollen throat, wheezy chest, headache & feeling how Count Orlok looks 🥲

Game #13 of 2026 ✅ Mixtape 🎧 Xbox Series X 🎮 100% 🏆 Impactful, short & enjoyable. I didn't resonate with it on a personal level like some of my mutuals did, but it was a fun journey to be on & as expected, the soundtrack was a banger!
