I obviously meant stoked... I swear autocorrect has gone rogue these past few months.

Adding credence to the theory I now work exclusively with people who share the name 'Johnson'...

In all seriousness, I'm so stocked getting to work Staz and I'm thrilled to be playing with my favourite Brit-Cit curmudgeon once again.

Broken Sword 2 is getting the "Reforged" treatment!

Charles Cecil spoke to me about how they're updating the sequel - & how they won't be using AI to upgrade any of the graphics this time round.

What does this mean for the sixth BS, Parzival's Stone? More on that too!

I’ll be backing this immediately. Still waiting for my Shadow of The Templars Collectors Edition but this is one of my favourite game series by far.

There’s a chance the sequel references this or negates it but we’ve not seen that yet.

Liam Johnson @liamjohnsontype.bsky.social · 3d

Watched Enchanted today and, spoilers for a near 20 year old film, Idina Menzel’s character marries the Prince at the end. So does that make her the only actress to play two different Disney Princesses?
Not counting using actresses for multiple singing roles here.

There are so many indie point and click adventure games on Steam that I hope make the jump to Switch2. It’s just the perfect console for that genre of game.

I think it's become fairly obvious to the readers of the Megazine, that our ongoing Armitage tale (new story starts this month in #485!) is all about AI and the workforce. About purpose and drive. Last night I was hit by a bolt of inspiration of the story I now want to tell about AI and creativity.

I'm frantically writing it up this morning and will be looking for a home and an artist for it. It's not Armitage, just to be clear, this would be an entirely new thing. Definitely comics though.

Blustery day, isn't it? Here's the National Grid: Live generation data. Wind and solar are generating 74.2% of our electricity. Gas is generating 13.1%. And yet our household electricity prices are pegged to... the volatile price of gas. Which is the basis on which the right attacks... renewables.
