I’m so excited Fife is getting a Silent Hill set there because we get a lot of fog, there are quite a lot of evil omens, and sometimes the lady who works at the chipper is possessed

Very much here for Silent Hill: Townfall.

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff. Democracy dies in oligarchy.

It happened. The future of Scotland's #videogames sector was debated in the Scottish Parliament yesterday. Watch along. You'll be amazed at the depth and insight of some of the MSPs. We have real allies across the chamber: scottishgames.net/2026/02/04/l...

Here we go! Debate on #LevelUp: Scotland’s Games Action Plan. No photos from the chamber, so you’ll have to make do with the gorgeous pine n’ poured concrete staircase on the way in… #games #videogames #ScottishGames #SGAP #GamesActionPlan

It's been fun seeing The Consultants lose their mind about how they don't get this ad, which is the coolest shit she's done yet. (Also, yes, that's Matt Mercer, who I've come to learn since this ad dropped is more famous than Michael Jordan.)

Fantastic news. The motion to debate Scotland's Games Action Plan has been approved and the debate will take place on TUE FEB 3rd 2026 (time TBC). Details below: scottishgames.net/2026/01/30/fro m-paper-to-parliament-national-games-debate-confirmed-for-tuesday-feb-2nd/ #LevelUpScotland

This is exactly what Scotland’s games industry needs and wants, Brian - let’s get this debated 🤩❤️‍🔥

One of the mot gratifying things about the Games Action Plan is that it's not rocket science. It asks for some basic help and an understanding of the unique aspects of the games ecosystem. So the plan aligns very neatly with many of the other calls for intervention & support for business in Scotland

I'm looking for support to have Scotland's Games Action Plan debated in the Scottish Parliament. There is a motion for such a debate (S6M-20521) currently lodged. Can you lend your support and help build Scotland into the UK's first #games #supercluster worth £1Bn? scottishgames.net/2026/01/23/s...

Dear people of #Scotland. 2 national newspaper covers in a week might seem a 'bit much' but it's hugely important that the Government supports #Scotland's videogames ecosystem through the new #LevelUp Games Action Plan. Please email or find your MSP on social. Ask them to support Motion S6M-20521

I started last week with a 4pp story in the Herald. It closed with another in-depth piece from our friends at the Courier, which talks about my slightly... unusual (?) entry into the games sector, DMA Design, joining Rockstar (sans NDA) & the Games Action Plan. www.thecourier.co.uk/fp/business-...

Can you help to support the future of #videogames in #Scotland? We have a motion lodged in parliament for a debate around the Games Action Plan, which would put it right at the forefront of the government's to do list. Please ask your MSPs to support the motion. scottishgames.net/2026/01/26/t...

Lovely games people - I'm looking for your help. On Wednesday this week, MSP Michael Marra lodged a members' motion asking for a debate on Scotland's Games Action Plan. To ensure it happens, we need cross-party support from MSPs. Full details on how to support: scottishgames.net/2026/01/23/s...

At the launch event for the @scottishgames.bsky.social "Level Up Scotland" national action plan for the Scottish Games Sector. Great plan from @brianbaglow.bsky.social and co and with support and engagement from @scottishgov.bsky.social

"A proposal designed to transform Scotland’s 'world-class' games sector from an overlooked 'secret weapon' into a unified £1 billion economic powerhouse, has been unveiled." @brianbaglow.bsky.social has done amazing work on this. ♥️ www.thenational.scot/news/2578137...

In town to listen to @brianbaglow.bsky.social talk about the action plan for the Scottish Games Sector.

​In Scotland, Computing Science has the largest gender gap of any STEM subject, a trend stuck in place for a decade. ​We often talk about role models, confidence & capability. These are symptoms of the root cause being access & equity. @Tes Scotland www.tes.com/magazine/ana...
