For Arc Raiders to ride the wave of human sociability all the way to the bank, while also being so contemptuous of the thing that makes us social animals in its own workflow demonstrates a lack of artistic integrity that I find impossible to ignore.

If you thought Frankenstein's Tower in the Guillermo del Toro movie looked cool, check out the real-world inspiration behind it...
The Wallace Monument - A towering stone structure in Stirling, Scotland that bares a striking similarity to the tower featured in the film.

I just wrote a complicated script and it worked first time, so I'm taking it as a sign to take the rest of the week off.

Hackers is truly one of my favourite films, and the costume design is impeccable. So cool seeing behind the scenes polaroids www.dazeddigital.com/fashion/arti...
Never-before-seen Polaroids from the set of cult cyber classic Hackers
25 years on from its release, costume designer Roger K Burton remembers the film that helped put cyberpunk style on the map

Thomas Was Alone week is almost over, but we have the rest of our legacy celebration to go.

Here's to the game about rectangles that made all those future titles possible. 🟥
Screenshot of Bithell Games' platformer 'Thomas Was Alone'. Four quadrilaterals, the characters, are arranged around the level (three rectangles, one square). The narration captions read: The others wouldn't drop it. "Who's that cloud guy?" "Why is he following us?" "What's that rumbling hungry sound he keeps making?" "Chris, could we just leave Laura behind?" Screenshot of Bithell Games' platformer 'Thomas Was Alone'. Four quadrilaterals, the characters, are arranged around the level (two rectangles, two squares). Both rectangles and the smaller, orange square are stacked on top of each other. The larger, blue square is floating in the water. The narration captions read: Claire needed to come up with a superhero name as soon as possible. 'Claire' was rubbish. Screenshot of Bithell Games' platformer 'Thomas Was Alone'. A larger blue square - Claire - floats in water, which is rising due to the rain. A smaller red rectangle - Thomas - is using her as a platform. Screenshot of Bithell Games' platformer 'Thomas Was Alone'. The level is split into an upper and lower level. On the upper is an orange square - Chris. On the lower is a dark pink rectangle lying horizontally. The narration captions read: 'Laura was pleased this one was behind a wall. Maybe he'd never find out what she could do. Maybe, maybe they could just have a conversation, hang out.'

We are down to last tickets for #AdvX25! We added a few more single-day tickets, but they're flying fast.

The ticket sale will close on midnight 19 Nov (or earlier if sold out). So make sure you get yours before they're gone!
