Sad news today: Annie Wersching, the actress who gave life to Tess in The Last of Us - Part I, passed away this morning as a result of cancer. She was 45. Rest in Peace, Annie.

Lá dár saol é! An Cailín Ciúin makes history as the first Irish-language film to be nominated for the Best International Film category at the Oscars 🎉🧡 If you haven't watched it yet, I assure you it's a great film!

Contributing with one more post to the "Best of 2022" series! Here are my favourite films of 2022. In the comments, I'll share the best books I 'read' in 2022.

Huh, MUBI has joined the "wrapped" party. I didn't enjoy my (heavily) discounted 3 months as much as I wanted this year, but I enjoyed the films I did watch. Most of them, at least. Care to tempt me with another flash sale, Santa MUBI?!

Hades is my most played game this year - no surprises there (and safe to say I don't regret one second)! I've been playing Ragnarök for a little over a week, and it's my 3rd most-played game in the year, fun haha (2nd pic in comments)

So, technical question: is there a new way to add pictures to the blogs? I can't upload any, but I checked out other blogs and people seem to be uploading them all right. Maybe I'm just unlucky?!

A day later than expected, but it finally arrived! I'm gobsmacked at how fast games are downloaded, and the DualSense is the best video game controller I ever held. Played a wee bit of God of War Ragnarök before the lights went off, and I'm loving it too

The first trailer for this new Spider-Man film is quite good! I'm interested to see Kang again after his questionable first appearance. But considering what the MCU has been putting out, I refuse to be excited until I see reviews.

How was your week Dtoid? Any fun plans for the weekend? Watch, play or read anything new worth sharing? Let us know in this week's TGIF! https://www.destructoid.com/--662185.phtml#post

Happy The Last of Us Day! Unfortunately, no news of the multiplayer standalone game yet, but Naughty Dog dropped some cool new Part I GIFs and wallpaper: https://www.naughtydog.com/blog/the%20

Yay! They look like children now instead of teenager fashion models 💪🏻 Seriously though, I really hope this succeeds! Having Rick on board is a good sign, and from this teaser, it seems like Percy Jackson fans will finally have a good adaptation.

Hi, people. A terrible thing happened to a friend of mine: all his and his wife's stuff was stolen a couple of days ago, and now they're pretty much empty-handed. GoFundMe link in the comments so you can see the whole story. Thank you for your attention!

For the Saoirse Ronan's fan club (there's an informal SR fan club here on Dtoid in case you didn't know!), here's the first trailer for "See How They Run"! Love that Sersh is being allowed to speak in her real (and wonderful) accent :D

Lots of game companies have spoken against the atrocious decision made by the Shitty Court today. Among them, Bungie took a step further by announcing a travel reimbursement program. Link: https://www.bungie.net/en/News/Article/51315

On Sunday, I started a new run on Mortal Shell to try and beat the game without any shells. Since this means everything kills you in one hit, I fully expected to give up before the first boss. Buuut three days later, and the trophy is mine! 🙌🏻🖤

Hey, folks! Coming here to share Backloggd with you. It's pretty much a Letterboxd for games, meaning it's a website where you can mark the games you've played/are playing, rate and review them, and so on. The community is still small, but it works well!

Finally remembered to check my PlayStation Wrap and... aye, disappointing, as expected 😂 I promised myself I'd try to do better this year (haven't touched Apex Legends yet, so that's progress!) 💪🏻

Today is Welsh Language Music Day! I don't have Welsh ancestry, but I've been learning about Wales and Welsh culture and I love it. To celebrate, I'll post a song here, and for those interested, I've posted others in the TGIF blog :D

When you expect to receive a Mileena Funko Pop as a birthday gift, then discover that the Queen brought even more wonderful treasures with her 😱😱 Thanks a million, Jetter Mars, be sure that these gifts made me very, very happy! 💖

Christmas' literary loots! 😀💜

Yes! Someone finally made the fanfic we were all dreaming of! A bit surprised it's an Australian film, but hey, I'm not complaining. Bring on the Ellie & Abby love for all The Last of Us true fans 💚

The myth Josef Fares posted on Twitter that he has returned home to his "best award ever" and the level of cuteness has reached the skies! 😍 And remember: if you don't have children, go get them! 😄

Thank you, Gustavo, for this masterpiece (the whole score is a masterpiece, really, but this song has earned a place in my heart 💚)

Started playing Transistor yesterday and while it's not my usual genre, I'm liking it a lot more than I thought I would, including the story (and sure, I'm struggling a bit in some hostile encounters...)! Also, the art is amazing 🤩

Why even send me this e-mail, From Software? Are you spying on me?? Did you enjoy seeing my tears as I read that I was not chosen???!!

Oíche Shamhna shona daoibh! Happy Halloween! I can't carve real pumpkins, so I'm glad Destructoid posted about this wee game 😄

I'm laughing but I wholeheartedly didn't want to be in their situation 😂

I don't remember if Dtoid posted about this game; if not, here is The Last Oricru! It's quite rough (alpha stage) and really not entirely original, but it seems interesting. And made by a team from the Czech Republic!

My favourite song from Eurovision's first semi-final... and it didn't qualify to the finals 😔 It did win my heart, though, especially because of how much the lyrics resonated with me 💜

Hi, everyone! I'd like to present Project Boost, a TPS game released yesterday on PC (Steam). This is the first game developed by a small team from Mauritius, so if you like what you see, be sure to support them =) Steam page: https://bit.ly/3dsMsKz
