It is with a heavy heart that we share the news that our colleague Nick Thorpe passed away on Monday. He was an incredibly lovely person, a talented writer and an essential part of the magazine.
Our thoughts go out to all his friends and family at this difficult time.
Rest in peace, friend.

Time for a rewatch I think.
Happy Half-Life 1 Day. My favorite game of all time.
Celebrate by watching the most insane thing I ever got to make, until a year later when I got to do it again.

No, it's cool, at the start of 3+4 Tony Hawk visits the graves of all the people who died in 1+2 and fills in the backstory for the player.
do I need to play Tony Hawk 1+2 to understand 3+4

Doing some more archive.org digging, because what else is there to do on a Friday night, and just struck gold: a Wip3out press CD from 1999. High-res renders, concept sketches, lots of Designers Republic stuff, and some wild PlayStation hardware photography.

When watching a stream, what do you tend to prefer?
- Full screen gameplay with minimal elements (webcam etc.) overlayed on top
or
- More of a boxed layout where the gameplay remains free of anything overlayed on top (albeit at a smaller size)
(I realise I may be completely overthinking this)

Interested to try out Elgato Wave Link's new 2.0 version - especially the Voice Focus feature. Means I could potentially do away with relying on Nvidia Broadcast (which messes up your voice anyways)

RIP Re:Verse.
