Images from Masquerade (1979) by Kit Williams, an illustrated puzzle book that led clever readers to a buried golden hare. This book was immensely popular upon release and inspired the genre we now call "armchair treasure hunts"

I should have specified surname: I imagine there’s a few decent Lizzies and maybe even a Mazzy with really, really Gen X parents out there in a State Senate somewhere

Genuinely moving moment in that documentary the alcohol years where it becomes clear every major male figure from Factory was pretty dodgy and chauvinist but there's an emphatic "except Vini" throughout

Funny thing is that i’d be way more likely to actually read these than normal credits, even though they’re orders of magnitude longer. I’m interested in how a game I just played was made, and other than the 1% of times I recognize a name, normal credits are functionally just a bunch of word shapes.
We did something different with the credits for Demonschool. We used this format: name, title, lengthy description of what they did. Often you see credits in games where you don't know what the credited developer was actually responsible for. We wanted to give people proper, actual credit.

picked up To a T in the Black Friday PS5 sale, and while it’s too early for me to assess it as a game, any fan of ludicrously expository sitcom theme songs is going to find this opener intriguing

My only thought about Nick Cave is that I got The Good Son in 1991 for $5 in a used CD bin, and had my first instance of the quasi-paradoxical reaction “This album is great / I have no interest in ever buying or maybe even hearing another album by this person”
