Flobknocker

About Me:

Flobknocker is the nonsensical nom-de-plume of a British guy who occasionally writes about videogames, and who belongs to a mysterious cult that all gather round a helmet every weekend to perform rituals in the hope of bringing about a new Motorstorm game.


1.2K words about Havok physics
April 25, 2020

If you’ll permit me to ramble a bit, I’d like to talk about a particular dumb bit of videogames that consistently makes me grin. No, not bullet time - dumber.

Battlefield 5
February 05, 2019

What's this? I'm reviewing a game in a somewhat timely fashion? I know. Shocking.
