There’s hardly been any game dev stuff from myself since I’ve been slammed with the day job and film journo work.

Had a lovely chat with George Blagden at Dinard Film Fest about his new film The Run.
But I had to mention his role as Fire Knight Queelign in Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree.
Was not expecting the following conversation!
