I woke up one morning with the level name 'Himalaylien Invasion' in my head, it tickled me... That's the only reason this level exists. A scary amount of my game dev work has the same origin, including the new logo! 🦇 (As usual, ignore the Ape Escape placeholder tunes)

I'll be LIVE in a couple of hours with a one-off session of Tekken Tag Tournament because Haven and Crash 4 have left me a sobbing broken mess of a man That said, fighting Unknown multiple times in one stream might also leave me a sobbing broken mess of a man

I'm back from my trip and I'll be LIVE with the finale of Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time today at 4PM BST!

Torpenhow Hill, England When the Saxons arrived and asked the locals what that hill was called, the Welsh replied, “Pen,” which simply means hill in Welsh. The Saxons, apparently not spotting they’d already been given the full answer, added their own word for hill: tor. So it became Torpen - literally Hill Hill. A few centuries later, the Norse turned up and repeated the exercise, adding haugr, their word for hill. Now it was effectively Torpenhaugr - Hill Hill Hill. Then the English arrived, looked at the whole thing, shrugged, and added “Hill” on the end for good measure. Thus we ended up with Torpenhow Hill: Hill Hill Hill Hill. It’s comforting to know that for over a thousand years, successive generations have been independently deciding that the previous lot hadn’t made it quite clear enough that it was, in fact, a hill. Language is magnificent. Humans… less so.🤷🏻‍♂️🤣
