A View to a Bill

Pleased to say I’m marginally ahead of schedule with the audiobook recording, despite my producer having to re-run numerous lines because my stomach rumbled too loudly towards the end of the session 😬

VGIM is back on Thursday. If you’ve changed jobs in games, have a cool role open or have an interesting game coming out this week, leave me a comment 🙏

That’s pretty good, but can it have the mental breakdown necessary to get into half marathons in the first place? I think not 😎

Thank you in all counts 🙏

Big Sadiq weighs in to say: gamez are gud

UK consumer video games market hit £8.76bn last year, up 7.4% on the previous year.

Hardware sales up due to Switch 2 launch, mobile game spend up despite a decline in downloads and game culture rev crosses half a billion due to success of releases like the Minecraft Movie.

Magical Magyar 💪
