I cover gaming news, indie games, and the nonsense AAA keeps trying to sell us. If a publisher screws up, I say it. If a studio releases something worth your time, I’ll show you. Expect straight talk, zero hype, and videos for people who actually love games. Subscribe if that sounds like your kind of thing. Business enquiries: [email protected]
