A quick one from me

The wallpaper on my phone is of a nondescript street in Shibuya.

It means a lot to me, this photo.

Then the next morning, a jolt that, in hindsight, definitely altered my brain chemistry.

A tower sits atop a mountain in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, with the sun setting in the distance.

After seven years at Gamer internet (GN), my game-words generator has spluttered to a halt.

Time spent with Skull And Bones last yearcertainly didn’t help.

I miss going to the local Co-op and buying a meal deal with Tom.

A city street from Yakuza 5, filled with colourful shops and signs.

I miss the AGMs where everyone knew each other.

I miss discussing the latest episode of Love Island with James and Alice on bright, summer mornings.

I miss talking wanky coffee with Will.

Securing an objective as Zarya in Overwatch 2.

I miss watching over Jake’s shoulder as he plays some 6/10 nonsense.

Listening to Joel’s booming tone.

A certain John, who mentored me when I first started in the industry.

World Of Warcraft: Dragonflight launches on November 28th, 2022. It’s the latest expansion for Blizzard’s long-running MMO RPG.

Alice Bee for her endless patience and wisdom.

Liam, who I miss sighing with on YouTube.

My pod pals Hayden and Imogen.

Not that I don’t find writing about games fulfilling, I really do!

Anyway, that’s enough of this self indulgence.

Keep hydrated, watch your posture, moisturise, turn off mouse acceleration and take care!
