Sin-jin SMYTHE 🇬🇧

Hello. My name is James St. John Smythe. 🇬🇧
I had a dotty old aunt die and leave me some stables. 🐎

Key word here is 'published'. Seen some misinterpreting this and suggesting it means IO will be entirely locked out of Bond going forward: all it means is IO can't self-publish a theoretical First Light 2 and would have to do a deal that sees IO developing and Amazon publishing

That 007 music will make you feel like the coolest person in the world god damn man.

Blind Item #1

A reason for the quick wedding of the actor and singer is because of that new iconic gig the actor is getting.

The way that theme hits as Bond walks into the museum. Oh my god dude.

This is the sexiest game ever made

@JustSpringY84 This person is truly beyond compare in their wretchedness.

@drunkbondpod Finally 🙂

This is Uncharted with Hitman!
This is Watch dogs with Sifu!
This is Splinter Cell with Batman!

Now that I've beat it, I can say that no it's JUST 007.
Uncharted doesn't have the openness and gameplay variety offered here.
Hitman doesn't have the cinematic narrative that First Light delivers.
Batman Arkham... doesn't have guns.

This game has proved to me that it has its own identity and I will now sit patiently and wait for a sequel to be made.

@ExpectingMrBond @amazonDE Same! I'm now debating whether to quickly pop into the local Saturn store or go for a digital download. And should I completely forgo the Amazon exclusive, or can I add the tuxedo later?

[Sin-jin SMYTHE 🇬🇧 @J_StJS]

@ExpectingMrBond Mine still hasn't shipped, so I guess I'll have to download it after work... I definitely can't wait until Saturday

[Blue Thunder 🔜Summer Game Fest @BlueThunderReal]

The black market in 007 First Light is full of hundreds of NPCs, all having their own conversations, selling items, interacting with Bond in unique ways. It really feels alive and it's incredibly impressive. There's even little mini games you can partake in like a shooting competition.

[Farzam @farzam_plays]

Here's a proper gun fight in 007 First Light

I filmed this inside one of the tac sim missions

[Sin-jin SMYTHE 🇬🇧 @J_StJS]

@ExpectingMrBond 100% agree

[Sin-jin SMYTHE 🇬🇧 @J_StJS]

@DamnCoffee007 What I unfortunately still haven't understood: if I pre-order the digital version to get 24-hour early access, and then the Specialist Edition arrives on May 27th - so that I can get the classic tuxedo - is there any way to combine these two versions?

[Sin-jin SMYTHE 🇬🇧 @J_StJS]

@ExpectingMrBond I had to turn off autoplay this morning so I wouldn't get spoilered even for a second 😅

James Bond summer

[Ian Fleming @TheIanFleming]

Words of wisdom from Ian Fleming.​

Take a look inside the recording booth as British actor Julian Rhind-Tutt reads a section from Fleming's 'The Art, or Craft, of Writing Thrillers', a transcript of a talk given to Oxford University students in May 1962.​

Find this and more rarely-seen writing in our audiobook of Talk of the Devil: The Collected Writings of Ian Fleming, released one year ago today. ​

@calvindyson So happy for you! I’ve been watching all your videos since 2013 or 2014, and over a decade later, you’re still at it and better than ever!

[Sin-jin SMYTHE 🇬🇧 @J_StJS]

@Graslu00 Would be so happy if you made videos about First Light! Honestly, your playthroughs and livestreams haven't just kept my love for Bond games alive, they've actually deepened it.
