We got another amazing podcast ready for ya! It's a PAX Aus special with @rotub from @DoggyDontCare, Hanny & Waleed from @LunarsPartyGame, and @ctrlshifti from PROXIMATE! Listen Here: joy.org.au/checkpoint/202…

I loved Good Boy. It’s rare for a movie to offer something completely different, and seeing horror from the perspective of a dog made for a terrifying, uncomfortable and compelling watch. Indy is easily the best pet actor in history. A must see for anybody who loves dogs.

If they put WWE in Perth the same weekend as PAX I will cry

Once again there’s somebody doing the rounds requesting game codes, pretending to be me, with a fake email. A quick check shows their Insta profile is not me, and they’re based in the Ukraine. Please be diligent! I feel bad for devs having to put up with scammers like this.

Can’t wait to get stuck into this!

Nintendo Switch 2 isn't far away, and the Aussie price has been revealed 👀 checkpointgaming.net/news/2025/04/n…
