- We lowered the sails on the S.S. #FanArtFriday once more, and the first heading for 2026 took us to Instagram where we found Viva Piñata's Leafos by artsyicey and a moody @seaofthieves.com number from maria_ronold_artwork! That'll do nicely, have a good weekend.
- Overheard at Rare: "No-one likes you and you've got three lasagnas in your freezer."

- The festive season has truly arrived at the @rare.co.uk studio with the usual oversized tree (where gifts for @trusselluk.bsky.social are being amassed), seasonal grub and a visit from the actual Mr. Grinch man himself. Who shouted at us. A lot. 10/10 day.
- More fan efforts highlighted today in the form of a classic #FanArtFriday post. You look every week, right? RIGHT? This pair is straight from Instagram, with the blown-glass Conker pendant from mar.ina.glass and the serene @seaofthieves.com scene by gabriel_martinache.

- Kameo: Elements of Power and Perfect Dark Zero both celebrate their 20th anniversary today! Well, they're not actually celebrating, they're merely data and incapable of expressing emotion, but you and us? We can celebrate. To all the pummelled Trolls and Infection mode brawls!
- The UK's temperature might be changing more than a chameleon in a disco, but one thing remains constant: us showcasing delightful doodles for #FanArtFriday! Instagram duo this week: award-winning Banjo-Kazooie piece by emvkoopa and stunning @seaofthieves.com sketch by mahogany_owl_.
- While today marks Banjo-Tooie's 24-year, seven-month-and-eight-day anniversary in the EU, it's also the 25th anniversary of this second helping of bear and bird landing in America! Please use this post to reminisce over its connected worlds, new abilities and murder of Bottles.
- We've been asked to tell you that @fangamer.com has cheap or free shipping between now and December 1st for Black Friday reasons, and that they have a bunch of Banjo-Kazooie merch available. This is us fulfilling that ask like the good employees we are. Stuff: fanga.me/r/bk-bf2025
- Grab your comically small sticks if you need them and get those eyes nice and wide, it's time for your weekly dose of #FanArtFriday! A Twitter duo for you to appreciate this week, with a chipper Conker and Berri by Muggy_art and a @seaofthieves.com sketch from JaesunX. ENJOY NOW:
- It's Tumblr time! No, we're not throwing any devs down a hill (yet), it's just one of those #FanArtFriday posts where the community creativity comes from that there Tumblr. Fiery @seaofthieves.com scene is from dummymegan while the Tooie tribute is by Yin88808. Till the next one.

- We've had a glorious day hosting the @sotfest.uk crew at Rare HQ today, learning more about their plans for #SoTFest26 and giving them a peek behind the curtain of how we make our magic! It was a productive day with lots of discussion, shenanigans and cake. Our favourite kind of day.
- Still no closer to solving the noodle situation, but we've got a pair of pics from Instagram for the #FanArtFriday one: a Sour Mallowolf from Viva Piñata by louci4art and a serene @seaofthieves.com scene from portfoliodabea. Right, kettle's on. These pots won't eat themselves...
- Inexplicably, our Social Media Lead has received noodles. Not just one box, but three over two months. He doesn't recall signing up for them, so why have these pots appeared with seemingly no ulterior motive? No Sea of Thieves requests or remake demands in sight. Itsu mystery...
- Roll up, roll up for some fabulous #FanArtFriday finery! Two from Twitter today, with the seasonal Banjo gourd by ArtsyDarC and the moody looking @seaofthieves.com pirate from Bonsgamer0504. And now you can roll down because we need dinner. Buh-bye!

- Reposted by Rare Ltd.Are you a Banjo-Kazooie fan? If so, we want to know your favourite memories of the bird and the bear. Maybe you grew up with the N64 and GBA games, or loved Nuts & Bolts? Did you go crazy for their crossover appearances? No matter what, they all count. Some replies will be printed in the magazine.
- Overheard at Rare: "If my dog was a vase, do you think all of your cats would fit inside?"
- Your dose of #FanArtFriday for this week consists of a fishy @seaofthieves.com scene from chill_art22 and a careful Humba Wumba by MrGametv1994, both of Twitter/X. Go on, open wide. No, your eyes, weirdo. Hold them open with tape if necessary, 10 minutes stare minimum, they're worth it!

- How about a fresh #FanArtFriday to fill your screen? To close out the week, we took a hop and a skip over to Tumblr and found a pair of standout pieces including a playing card pirate by Tigera and our old friend L.O.G. from Nuts & Bolts by T. T. Trixter. Cheers!
- Extending gigantic congrats (which will be comically huge for those teeny characters) to our friends at @obsidian.net for the launch of Grounded 2 in Xbox Game Preview and Steam Early Access! We're looking forward to screeching and running away from spiders all over again.
