@JeffKurtenacker You're more than welcome, Jeff. I remember begging @craigstephens to get some sort of Soundtrack released at a preview event before launch. My one regret was not being able to sort out an interview with you. Regardless, I look forward to hearing more of your work in the future!

I'm coming out of Twitter hibernation to weigh in on last night's news of #WildStar & @CarbineStudios' closure. Of all the titles I covered in my games blogging days, WildStar was effortless to produce content for. Stunning game world, great character races, & engaging gameplay.

[Carl Phillips @CarlPhillipsUK]

So here's the #WildStar and all those that made it a cozmotronic effort. Rest assured that the Rowsdower will be well looked after by Toby the Dealspwny at the Retired Mascots Ranch.

But as much as I loved the actual game, it was the @JeffKurtenacker's soundtrack that absolutely won me over. It still stands as one of my favourite VG soundtracks ever (I even use a number of tracks in my various D&D playlists!)

So here’s my gif-form review for #TheLastJedi

[Carl Phillips @CarlPhillipsUK]

Considering how its planned features border with one of my dream game ideas (noir-inspired open world with procedurally generated storylines), Living Dark has certainly piqued my interest. https://t.co/TEatxrt4x1

@FuzzyPixels I'm not sure @Bexchan and I could have handled playing it all in one go. It was hella emotional even with the month-long waits between episodes.

In other adventure game news, Life Is Strange is releasing on iOS next week. Another fine title you should definitely consider if you haven't already.

[Carl Phillips @CarlPhillipsUK]

If you haven't played Grim Fandango Remastered yet, now there's no excuse because @gogcom have kicked off their Winter Sale by giving it away for free. Go grab it while you can!

[Carl Phillips @CarlPhillipsUK]

Well, damn. Might have to go make a snowman.

[Carl Phillips @CarlPhillipsUK]

Finally got round to watching Your Name this evening. My emotional state is pretty all over the place right now. Bloody gorgeous film.

@FuzzyPixels @Bexchan @theworldofdavo @BuzzDuraband @StanciuValenti8 @DoFuss @Steve_Fantasy @acoombes17 I imagine I would be an Oathbreaker who serves Christopher Walken.

Having now caught up with #TGA2017, here are my 5 favourite moments:

* From Software's teasiest of teasers
* All the Bayonetta
* Carol Shaw's heartwarming icon award
* Death Stranding & the funky fetus of Norman Reedus
* A Wiseau Out

Retweet if you've ever met someone face-to-face after previously only knowing them from Twitter.

@bggriffiths @techradar @TRDeals @GAMEdigital A fine choice to come down from the deal-hunting madness, there. Hope it hasn't been too hectic for you this year!

Spending today learning how to use HitFilm Express. Not too shabby for a free piece of software. Definitely more versatile than Vegas / Movie Studio, & has plenty of familiar options from Adobe Premiere.

Woken up feeling super poorly today. So I’m going to go do what my bf did when he helped me prep for my show. Hide.

There's also some words about the PC version of Destiny 2 on the way, so brace yourselves for that.

Although I will say this - Lord Shaxx is still the GOAT.
