Will Overgard 🔥#1 Wanted: Dead Fan

For those reconnecting here or who've just found me Hello! I'm Will, currently streaming full time and doing consultancy gigs for cool indie projects. Feel free to DM me here or: ☕ Twitch: www.twitch.tv/viking_blonde/ ☕ YouTube VoD's & Vids: www.youtube.com/@VikingBlonde ☕ Discord: #VikingBlonde

For the first time in ages, one of my absolute favorite games is on sale Seriously, its a damn meme at this point how much I talk about this game:

Just to update y'all: Main PC is still dead. It's become a British crime drama (but not one of the good ones) I can still stream, sort of, but everything else is still on hold. Please send coffee and unmarked bills

NEW OPPORTUNITY: Short fiction writer? Love the world of Heaven's Vault? ... then come play in the waters. We're looking to commission 20 short stories set in the Nebula for a new anthology. Paid, obvs. Full details and a link to the form on the blog: www.inklestudios.com/2026/10/24/t...

Wager Against the Devil for a Family's Souls in Theatrical Card-Battler 'The Killing Stone'

Not all villains wear clown make up

This is gonna be huge Just letting y'all know now

It's the Best Game Animation of 2025, now with some additional entries that are no longer under boycott! I'm very glad to finally be able to give them the praise they deserve

So, the PSU is still dead and the replacement for the replacement is here Friday I'm gonna build Gundam First about it, so if you want to talk them videogames or giant robots then I got you: www.twitch.tv/viking_blonde/

It just struck me, for as much as the first days of Next Fest where a mess, Steam is the only storefront with an AI Disclosure Itch and GoG dont, nor does Xbox or Playstation. Nintendo dont and in no world is Tim Sweeny going to stop huffing AI flavored whippets Valve are the only folks doing it

Okay, now the Next Fest page is set to Personalized by default, it's giving me some REAL sicko stuff (positive, laudatory even), like... RUIN: 35th ANNIVERSARY DEFINITIVE EDITION A remaster of a game that never existed.

I've cobbled together a workaround for the mic and I wish to rage some All I can offer right now is a place to vent, a spot of coffee and this hand made emotional support rat: www.twitch.tv/viking_blonde/

Dear Bioware homies, past and present I'm so sorry this happen, y'all achieved the kind of lasting impact that will be talked about for decades to come Now leak everything. I'm serious, all those stories you couldn't or didn't want to tell? Unload both barrels

😭

The cast of the film Knightriders (1981) was almost entirely made up of stunt performers and effects artists that George Romero had worked with on other productions He made an entire bike jousting movie so he could work with his friends

It pains me to say, but 90% of the games I've got on my Next Fest list are ether made by friends or titles I found on TikTok five months ago None of this AI slop is any good, its all trash, but the shear volume is staggering

Dev Friends: If you have a demo in Steam Next Fest please let me know. I try to keep up with everyone's projects but life happens too much some times

REMEMBER REMEMBER THE FIFTH OF NOVEMBER!! Airframe: Ultra goes live November 5th on Steam. Set your wishlists appropriately. Blow some stuff up 🧨🧨 store.steampowered.com/app/2522120/...

Its only partially a joke, but we used to talk about Rockstar devs like shelter animals They were so used to a brutally hostile work environment you had to almost coach them back into a more normal work-life:

Humans in Penguin Colony: “If I am mad, it is mercy! May the gods pity the man who in his callousness can remain sane to the hideous end!” The Penguins:

To add some joy to your Sunday here's four absolutely incredible games worth your time that dropped this week: - Penguin Colony - Descolus - over the hill - Thank You Bus Driver

Penguin Colony and Tenebris Somnia are games that show what you can really bring to the table when you have financial backing that doesn't demand an immediate 2000% return on investment.

The moment I heard I demanded names and accounts:

I didn't get to do RetroSpace at launch despite it being entire my jam, so if you need a break from the _everything_ today I'll be streaming it shortly Also, quick reminder, nothing in ASCII: www.twitch.tv/viking_blonde/

Bollocks. This isn't "small"

Right, had a suitable vent about getting the state of videogames wrong, now its time to show off what's going right: PENGUIN COLONY Come watch the game that your friends with taste will be raving about for years

*Long sigh* Really sick of everyone getting this info wrong, to an infuriating level. Steam isn't flooded, its an open platform now (and one of the few in our ecosystem that hasn't been rampantly enshitfied) I'm gonna rant about it on Stream for a bit if anyone wants an actually sensible breakdown

Gonna natter some more about games industry stuff and then go deep into the paint on Control Resonant if you fancy it: www.twitch.tv/viking_blonde/

OH WE GOT TRAINS

This is The Message From Deep Space and I present it to y'all as the next Tunic/Blue Prince puzzle sicko gem I'm talking games industry stuff right now, but I'll be diving into it shortly if you want to join in: www.twitch.tv/viking_blonde/

This but I want to be the artist who accidentally makes the dancing bread boy from Bioshock Infinite.

I really hope this isn't true Shogun 2 was an incredible game that I'm proud to have my name in the credits, but if this is true then it's absolutely heartbreaking

If you want a slightly more sane place to talk about games industry news and why Deadlock is so bloody good, come on down to Will's overcaffinated emporium: www.twitch.tv/viking_blonde/

-Steam users and spending is WAY up -The number of incredible quality games per week is staggering -Games discovery has become a huge and highly competitive sub-genre of shortform content Despite how batshit the news is right now, games aren't fucked and we don't need to agree with AI slop

I am increasingly stoked to appear in @littlefireee.bsky.social's thumbnails

Mechs? Mechs. We're having another run about in Hawken today, just for the fun of it, and you are all welcome to join us (Thanks again to the Hawakening team) COME BE MECH COOL KIDS: www.twitch.tv/viking_blonde/

If you've spent more than 30 seconds with me you know how much I love this game and now its got EVEN MORE cool stuff in it Seriously, one of the best shooters out right now:

Friday? Yep, we're hitting up Haddonfield, with @littlefireee.bsky.social and maybe even a @nullspeak.bsky.social on that website Twitch Dot Televsion

I can't believe someone made a meme just for me and no one else
