Two toilet doors with large lettering on them that show they're named after Quake 2 maps. One door is red with "The Edge - Q2DM1" written on it, and the other is blue with "Tokay's Towers - Q2DM2" written on it.
Two small cloth bags with slay the spire written on them
A victory screen in Hades 2 showing all the powers the character has - the boons - and all of the statistics and damage they've done
A nonchalant star-faced being on a thrown waves a hand as if unmoved by whatever is happening in front of them. It is The Regent from Slay the Spire 2
A photo of a paragraph in a book about worlds in games being hostile to the player - in a good way.
Slay the Spire 2 in action. Three characters face off against each other in the middle of the screen - a small person with two knives, a skull mask and a green shawl; against a tall undead like queen with a dark crown, a glowing face and a staff, and a strange, three-legged, lantern-faced pet. At the bottom of the screen is a hand of cards. At the top of the screen is a row of assorted icons representing relics - power-ups - in the game.
A tall plastic action figure that has green skin and purple vest, gloves and sleeping hat like thing. It's a muscled physique and it has a wide wicked smile and huge yellow eyes and large pointed ears. The figure stands in front of a window. It is the green goblin from Spider-Man.
A banana on a crate by a river.
A doorway with the number 46 on. Then the word "finally!" Added on top. It's a screenshot from Blue Prince and this is the fables 46th door.
A male character in a black and red zip-up shellsuit hoodie sits slumped against a wall with a tired, scowling expression on their face.
A raptor-like dinosaur reclining suggestively as if to say "paint me like one of your French girls"
An open box showing a selection of Nintendo Switch 2 goodies - including the console itself.
A character creator screen showing a selection of faces and then the head and shoulders of a character on the right-hand side who has sallow grey skin, a black handlebar moustache, strands of black, thinning hair, yellow eyes and a strange upside crown tattoo on the forehead. They do not look kind.
A photograph of four cute crochet potatoes, and two of them are turned around to reveal three dimensional buttocks. For some reason.
Two bespectacled humans stand in a kitchen. One interacts with their phone while the other holds a can of beer and... are they crying? They're crying or singing, it's hard to tell. Their eyes are closed, their head is back and their mouth is open. It's an emotional scene... for one of them.
A photo of a slim tabletop RPG book and some associated artwork. It's Eat the Reich, a game about being a squad of vampire assassins who hunt Nazis. The artwork is evocative and colourful, and splattered with pinks and reds like graffiti spray.
An illustrative menu showing two red veined arms ending in hands shaking.
A huge statue of the Doom Slayer outside a building.
A Doom Eternal screenshot. First-person view of Doom Guy's armoured hand grabbing the neck of a withered hold Hell Priest, who has grey skin and red eyes and manky teeth. They're in trouble.
A desktop work station with lots of wires and a keyboard visible on a heated mouse mat.
Willem Defoe, a head and shoulders portrait. The actor is clean shaven and fresh faced, and looks around 60 years old.
Lots of D&D dice bundled recklessly into a dice tray, as if there's no love and only chaos in this person's heart
Bertie's silly face superimposed on Dr Mario's silly face on the silly Game Boy box of Dr Silly Mario.
A close up photo of Bertie by a window. He's running his hand along his beard, demonstrating his zone-out habit
Tom Phillip, Bertie, Ian Higton, and Wheels, sit on white sofas on an egx stage playing Ultimate Chicken Horse. It looks like Berties having fun, at least!
