Did you know that Plok, star of the cult classic 1994 Super Nintendo game, has his own comic? Written and drawn by my brother and I, the original creators of the game, the first five volumes, and a colouring book, are available now in print or ebook.

Going through old photos and this surfaced. A useful reminder that the games industry ‘good old days’ were a mixed bag, same as it ever was.

Enjoyed the first episode of Lord of the Flies on BBC. Can’t judge it as an adaptation as I’ve never read the book. I started it as a kid right after I finished Lord of the Rings as it was next to it on the shelf, but gave up in disappointment after 2 chapters when I realised it was about posh kids

's interview at Crash last year, and reminded just how brutal, and frankly shit, the games business was during the 90's and 00's. Predatory publishers forcing devs to go bust so they don't need to pay their final milestones. I had the same with THQ.

Labour in the UK and the Democrats in the US are both carriers of the same sickness, unable to access the energy and vitality of progressive causes because they accept the authoritarian solutions laid out by their opponents. An electorally barren and morally bankrupt position, untenable in 2026.

Calling all 6502/NES programmers! We recently preserved and shared a source code snapshot of the lost Police Academy game! Which is great, except it's in a pretty bad state. I'm hoping there's enough to "revert" back to its trade show demo. Any interest in helping?
