The census story is also revealing in that it could only have been invented by someone who didn't understand what a census is for. "Instead of finding out who lives where, why don't we make everyone move around and then create a record of where they DON'T live"
I know that realistically it has to be a completely new story, but I do hope there's room for an appearance by gaming's most iconic antihero, the Giant Foot Who Wants to be Washed

As I recall this is one of those areas where the common law has some extremely well-established propositions of very dubious origin and scope. It came up a bit in the context of Richard III. "No property in a corpse"
@backpagepod.bsky.social "You fools!" cried the Professor. "Another seal broken? Another hammer blow to the chains that keep him bound? Do you not feel him stirring even now!?"
But on the cultists danced, frenzied, inhuman.
And deep beneath a long-forgotten mountain, Doshin slowly opened an eye.
I can’t get over all the journalists and centrist pundits who sneered that “Twitter isn’t real life” when it was full of weird leftists but now insist it’s a vital window into the public mood when the entire site is Nazis, illegal porn, bots, and Belarusians calling themselves “Iowa MAGA Farm Guy”
This may be a niche concern, but if like me you used to wonder where the sample at the beginning of "All My Best Friends are Metalheads" was from but lacked the means to find out, it's a spoken-word record from 1967 and it takes an absolutely wild turn towards the end genius.com/Victor-lundb...
I too think that the Artilleryman is the true hero of Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds
There's a flyting minigame in Assassin's Creed Valhalla, in case you were wondering whether or not video games have got out of hand

Any ideas what may have happened in the interim?
Whenever my doorbell rings during the day I involuntarily tell it to fuck off. 6 years and counting.
He may not have the pace, or the endurance, or the agility. But these days it's all about selling the dream - and I think Farley might just have what it takes to help these boys fall back in love with the game.
How I felt at the end of the Metacritic Game:
100% it's a blank portrait frame but when you look at it you get sucked into the portrait and then it's a portrait of you trapped in a portrait, Rod Serling voiceover, roll credits.
The jury for drafts is a great idea, and I hope they don't announce themselves, because there is huge potential for a deductive metagame involving listening out for any suspiciously out-of-character picks and working out which member of the Back Page extended universe they are designed to win over
I do agree with all the replies saying it's unfair to blame the lawyers, but I also accept that a whole load of lawyers showing up to tell you why you shouldn't criticise lawyers is probably not that persuasive.
Basically, show me a leading disruptive thinker and I'll tell you what chapter of Chaos Marines they collected in the early 2000s
The word "NPC" is such a reliable alarm bell. It captures a certain kind of preening, performative spitefulness from people who need to believe that they're cleverer than everyone else but who really just had their minds blown by The Matrix and have spent the rest of their lives chasing that high
Every time I try Connections it contains something that on Only Connect would be a red herring but in Connections is just slapdash design (e.g. four "parts of a song" but two of them mean the same thing). It's like you have to suspend the part of your brain that has respect for the question-setter.
