Despite the title and some fundamentals you can find in any game writing book, this is the rare type of book I'd give both early writers and studio heads looking to integrate writers better. If those exist. Richard describes MANY familiar sutuations and how to deal with them better.

Yeah.... If one of them is Leto you might want to have a serious word with yourself.

Anything but do the things that would actually help.

I don't understand the console games angle at all. It plays Xbox games from the xbox shop. If you have them on your account they work on it. If you have a series X they work on that too.

BBC Archive just uploaded The Lonely Shore (1962), a surreal 15-minute short that takes the form of a scientific report from an abandoned and desolate future Britain. Written by Jacquetta Hawkes, an actual archaeologist, and directed by Ken Russell, an actual madman.

Xbox console games don't really exist anymore. Everything on the console is on PC.

Can you plug it into a TV? That's all I want to know.

It's time we just rejoined the EU. It was an awful idea it's wrecked everything, and by the way it was comrade Farage and the Tories that caused this mess. It's so simple. You wonder how Labour could fuck this up.
