Yet more Last of Us discourse, sorry, BUT - I've seen most of the series now, and it's the first game adaptation I've seen that asks not just what it can take from a game's scenario, but what it can add to it.

The Last of Us TV series is really, really good, folks. The first two episodes gave me nightmares and the third made me cry. All of these things are compliments

I wrote a analysis of sexual orientation Census 2021 figures that were published today
I came to the opinions that older people (non-responders) & plurisexuals (people on the bisexual spectrum who often reject labels) were undercounted

People have... Thoughts about the no. 1 but if you ask me, it exemplifies a beautiful truth about video games: they bring people together, and it’s our shared experiences with them that we remember most fondly

I spent years missing out on opportunities to interview Shigeru Miyamoto before I eventually met him, in 2012. I had such a bad cold I could barely speak, but it remains a career highlight. The world's most influential game designer turned 70 recently:

I hear some folks are unhappy that the new #Fable might contain 'the gay'.
...
