Today’s postal delivery was one of the all time greats - but maybe I got a little too excited by it? Standby for

as soon as embargoes allow! 💪🤩
I feel so incredibly lucky that I've been able to review the PSVR2 for
@eurogamer
. My colleagues have allowed me to follow my passion for VR when it doesn't always do the numbers and other big sites have ignored it and i'll always be grateful for that.
I've been trying to keep my politics off Twitter and keep my feed a positive space so apologies for this momentary lapse but WE NEED A GENERAL ELECTION NOW FFS GET THOSE IMBECILES OUT I'M FED UP WITH HAVING THIS COUNTRY AND MY FUTURE DESTROYED BY FUCKERS I DIDN'T EVEN VOTE FOR
Thrilled to say I’ve joined
@larianstudios
as part of their publishing team! It’s a dream to get to make cool video stuff for a studio that really care about the games they make. Already feeling right at home
@IanHigton
The more you “gamer” journalist write about sOulSlIKe, the more I’m convinced you play FarmVille and bullshit your way through your profession.
Allegedly I’ll be losing my blue tick tomorrow. No way I’m about to pay money to the billionaire and colossal bellend who made this decision so if you see me tweet something terrible (more terrible than usual), pls check my follower count - no other Ian Higtons have more than me.
What do you do when you want to be a games journalist but the internet hasn't been properly invented yet? Make a magazine and print it out, that's what! This is the cover of the 1st and only issue of Agima, published in 1992...
Coming up this Saturday on Eurogamer, you can watch me get decapitated by

High Isle event. Also, there's now a job opening on the EG video team as I'm currently🪦
Thanks to my lovely employers for sorting me out a replacement Switch after mine got swiped on the way to MCM. And big thanks to
@AoifeLockhart
for making it happen, she can be really nice when she’s not kicking my ass for saying stupid shit on the internet 😂
Hey friends, there’s far more important stuff going on in the industry right now, but two weeks from today marks my last day at Eurogamer. It’s impossible to put into words how much my time there has meant to me - how proud I am to have been a part of such a great team and such…
So I survived my wedding day, felling pretty hungover now though! Thanks for your kind messages everyone, my WIFE and I were reading them all this morning x
Holy shit, I just did so well on Returnal that I was on a 5 hour non stop run but just now the game crashed so hard it almost exploded my console. The noise it made was not cool... Also... So much stuff lost :'(
My style of T-shirt modelling always ends up as a ‘what if
@Farrantula
had every single last drop of cool surgically removed from his body’ kind of thing.
Sad times here on Eurogamer video but on the plus side it looks like I’ve won the OG Video Team Battle Royale. Finally all those hours in PUBG have paid off 🍗🍛
@IanHigton
Oh man now Ian's the only one left from the OG video team, I vividly remember the yule log videos, live streams and various videos from all 4 of you with Johnny, Chris, and Aoife
Brexit divided our country, empowered the alt-right, plunged our futures into uncertainty, made the UK a laughing stock on the world stage and some how it just keeps getting worse. Fuck Brexit.
Mixed emotions today, sad because it's
@johnneh
's last day but also amazingly grateful to everyone who chipped in for this amazing gift that was waiting for me at the office! You're too kind, thank you all so much, I'm a very lucky video producer!
@eurogamer
And honestly, going from a video guy with imposter syndrome who was too scared to write for the site to having something published on the front page will always make my heart swell.
Just took down all my Christmas lights and shoved them loosely into a plastic bag knowing full well that December 2023 Ian is going to fantasise about punching my face off as he tries to untangle them all. Sucks to be you, future me 🖕
9 years ago today I left

to starting working for

and just before I walked out of the door I hid 32 of these beauties around the building. I still hear about them being found every so often 😂
Here's my painting from today's Member's Only stream on Eurogamer - I had to do Pokemon crossed with The Great Wave Off Kanagawa! Pikachu wasn't meant to look so terrified, but it kind of works.
I've had quite a few people ask me what the dimensions of the

box are. The answer is L = 43cm, W = 25cm, H =19 cm, which is approximately the size of one (1) adult cat. Not had the pleasure of watching my PS VR2 unboxing yet? You can find it here:
Did you know it's my 10th Anniversary at
