This is the amazing room at the Louvre where the theft took place in broad daylight yesterday. I took this photo last year. That’s the Galerie d’Apollon, home to France’s crown jewels and a stunning place

Remember these? Warlock, from 1984! My pal Steve found them in his loft and gave them to me. There are half a dozen of them in total. Issue one is basically the first half of The Warlock Of Firetop Mountain, but they start including news and new stories as they go on. #FightingFantasy

Wet and windy here in the south-west. Feels very autumnal.

Exactly a week ago, we wrapped up an unforgettable games event: PG Connects Jordan at the Dead Sea. Looks like it was our second biggest conference after London (we welcomed 2,500+ attendees) to talk games, esports, tech, business and more. We'll be back in Jordan next November - in Aqaba.

It would be great if shops listed their specific relevance to me instead of having names 😅

My buddy went to Japan and brought me back this awesome Spider-Man collectable Tomy gacha figurine. He's eating pizza.

Hosting a conference or convention? Please check that your dates and location are clearly visible. I know you know when and where it's taking place, but if we have to click through two menu items and then scroll to find what weekend you're talking about, this might explain why your signups are slow.

A year has passed since we did this fun feature about Agatha Christie-themed cocktails on CrimeFictionLover. Ever wonder what an Orient Espresso Martini tastes like? Revisit our “Agatha Whiskey” review:

Had a blast at Fighting Fantasy Fest at the weekend. Saw a couple of old friends. Enjoyed Deathtrap Dungeon live with Sir Ian Livingstone and John Robertson. This was the fifth since 2014, and it's always a fun day in London for brave adventurers/dice-rolling geeks.

I skipped a couple of instalments but Civilization VII has excited me about the franchise again. At Gamescom, I spoke with creative director Ed Beach about the new Ages system, streamlining reinforcements and more. Read our interview about how Civ is evolving: www.pcgamesinsider.biz/interviews-a...

Finished watching #StarTrekProdigy on Netflix. Highly recommended. Though it may be pitched at kids, it features a complex time-travel plot, and it's a thematic sequel to Voyager, with great nods to past characters and storylines. Excellent voice cast.
