Do you have any weird gaming / sound memory combinations?

It was 1998. My brother got Tenchu for Christmas. He also got the Phil Collins' Greatest Hits CD. Which is why I can't play this without singing Easy Lover.

I'd like to apologies for all of my social media basically reverting to posts about titles.

I'd LIKE to. But honestly I'm not sorry and it will likely continue.

I would give Apple £9 to change the show's name name from "Ted Lasso" to "Richmond". Because it's not about him. It never was.

I've had a new game sent through today - Let Bions be Bygones. Film-noir detective point and click puzzle. It seems very dark at the moment but I'll be doing a giveaway for you Soon™

I fell all the way back in love with XCOM 2 on last night's stream. Do you have any top XCOM tips?

I always colour code soldiers. Red for Rangers, Blue for Specialists, Yellow for Grenadiers, White for Sharpshooters (to easily see how abilities can be used on the battlefield).

HEY! Huge thanks to Wired Productions and Rogue Sun because today I have my very first video game credit.

Something which might be small for those properly "in-industry" but this is huge for me after being a passionate gamer for 35(ish) years.

Oh lovely, helpful people of the internet. I am Natalie Imbruglia'd (torn). Command and Conquer Tiberian Sun, or XCOM 2. I love both of these games, and one of them will be streaming tonight at https://twitch.tv/pixelbandits.

Which one pulls on your heartstrings the most?

Back in Dungeon Alchemist today, getting lost in the amount of customisation and creativity available even without the upcoming Magic update.

If you've not checked out Dungeon Alchemist yet, you definitely should if you're a DM or just love map making https://www.pixelbandits.org/2023/06/dungeon-alchemist-early-access-review

What have you been playing today?

Some more incredible games on my playlist today. A little retro gaming and a little virtual reality! Though Resident Evil in VR still scares the PANTS Off me.

Castle of Illusion was mad but so much fun. I remember being in hospital for an extended period back in the early 90s, and this (and Ecco the Dolphin) really helped me through! One for the Retro Gaming fans here.

Her #RetroGaming bandits! What game do you love but everybody else things is just ok or a bit meh?

For me, one of the major overlooked gems is Granstream Saga. Really enjoyed it both way back when and even today. What's your under-sold classic?

Hey Boardgame fans! Did you see our review for the Lord of the Rings Adventure to Mount Doom from?

For an inclusive family adventure I've found it's a good one for playing with the Micro-Bandits making fellowship decisions together <3

I just wanted to say a huge, cheeky, old-man thank you. Our twitch channel has hit over 620 follows and our latest live viewer average was over 18!

This might not seem huge to some, but to me it's beautiful 🥰 and when I say "our" I 100% include our incredible chat community 🥰

I know. Look. I know. But I still think Sonic Spinball absolutely slaps. My real question is why do we think people DIDN'T like it as much?

@PixelBandits@nerdculture.de avatar

@zorrobandito ahaha fair! I remember falling in love with Advanced Pinball Simulator on the Amstrad so this was definitely an upgrade

@timixretroplays ah the soundtrack was 100% the best thing about the game

One of my dinky and unique bits of Elite Dangerous memorabilia. Pinched (not quite stolen) from the Frontier board room. And they'll never catch me mwahahahaha etc.

It's very important to me that you know whenever I write the word "books" I want you to read it as Peter Falk's Princess Bride delivery of "When I was your age, television was called books".

Also that when my wife says "as you wish" I see her as Cary Elwes (not entirely bad)

@bitflipped OMG please do. you have so much to look forward to <3

Hey Bandits! Hope you've all had a wonderful bank holiday Monday (if you're in the UK).

Sorry for the quiet one, today. I have been sinking myself into a family outing, but I have also been delving into Theme Park World and wanted to share some memories with you 🥰

@gmr_leon I'm not a huge fan of thr silliness compared to other titles like Roller Coaster Tycoon (with this one having dancing buildings and thins) but it was still great

#mentalhealth awareness is incredibly important.

In live streaming social anxiety can lessen the experience for some viewers, so these are some of the steps I've taken to help welcome people in.

To celebrate the Glorious 25th of May, here are some Discworld pictures.

I'm so excited about starting #Discworld II tomorrow night <3 in the meantime, enjoy the art of the game, and a foreword from the incredible Sir Terry Pratchett.
