Zelda Day at TheGamer is officially in full swing! 💚🫶
I got to chat with Princess Zelda’s voice actor about everything from her super-secret audition to shaping Zelda into the incredibly hopeful, layered icon we know her to be today.

They should have a bell on the counter, and every time someone says it they get marched out the door to the sound of it ringing alongside "shame, shame".
The world is crying out for World of Final Fantasy 2.
Gan on lad! 🙌🏻
Yeah, I still play it to this day, it's perfect on the Brick or Retroid Pocket. Cute, but brutal. 🤣
It's a good rule for stuff like this, it'd be far too easy for me to just hide behind turn-based RPGs. Especially these days when I'm old and slow. 🤣
Haha, it was hard to do, I was so tempted to just go with FF games for most of them and double up. But I noticed you went one-per, so tried to do the same.
I think your set is more balanced/eclectic than mine!
A photograph of a young boy (me) and his grandad, standing in front of a hedge in the sun. The boy is wearing a white t-shirt and has blond hair, while his grandad, standing behind and wearing a blue t-shirt, a watch, and glasses, has his arms around the boy's shoulders.
Haha, I'm *that* old! TNZS is directly tied to going up to the caravan in Berwick-upon-Tweed with my Grandad at weekends in the early 90s, it holds ALL the memories. 😊
Go on then.
Yeah, I'd love to to visit my friends more often, but it's so expensive these days, they're scattered all over, and I've just been playing catch-up financially ever since I got back here. I did manage to fly out to Hong Kong last year to see my best friend though thanks, that was a long time coming.
After three redundancies in three different countries and a move back here at the tail end of the pandemic, I don't even know what "socialising" is anymore. Absolutely sucks. 😅
Pragmata is the biggest surprise and one of my favourite games of the year.
An unflinchingly old school and refreshing subversion of prestige triple-A storytelling. It’s warm, charming, and not afraid of its main characters being sickeningly sweet.

The Arsenal choke is real. 🤣
Writing about video games + writing about psychology = something I should have been doing for a long time, considering the 'my entire life' of it all

Oh, you're in for a real treat. Such a good game.
The two quality-of-life changes I'd love to see in Crimson Desert are a) a camera lock, and b) the ability to lock an item in your inventory so you don't accidentally give it to the camp provisioner, never to be seen again.
I miss my Mining Knuckledrill. 😅
Aye, the Switch 1 version is severely lacking in features (no multiplayer, nexus missions, and settlements, for example), and doesn't look too good.
Switch 2 (free upgrade), on the other hand, is full-fat and very much worth it. Especially since they implemented cross-platform cloud saving.
Trust me to be ill on what is supposed to be the warmest day of the year.
Looking out at people on the beach for the Easter holidays and thinking "as soon as I'm done with work I am hiding under a blanket" 😅
Me: It's sunny, so I finally get to be happy when sitting at my desk and looking out the window.
The view: dominated by a nuclear power plant.
Pointless even trying to prepare, really. 💀
Happy birthday!
The main character from Crimson Desert standing in a field with a backdrop of mountains, wearing an elaborate costume in black-and-white and a Sauron-like helmet. A black-and-white cat sits on his shoulder.
Currently looking like this, but about to switch to the Skyblazer set.
Happy birthday, Joe!
I played a fair bit when it launched, bounced off it hard, and have had no urgency to go back to it.
It's not bad, but it's also nothing special once the 'shiny new thing'ness if it all wears off. I do like the combat system though.
Americans barely know chocolate in the first place, they just load their lower cocoa % with sugar and that acid you get in vomit to make it last forever on a shelf.
For me, it's weirdly specific - the old Crowtree Leisure Centre in Sunderland. And there's tigers.
YES JOE!
Haha. I love The Intern, it's one I often put on as comfort food.
