Manager: You made the ad for the latest mail order PC games? Marketing: Sure did boss, real fuckin macabre just like you asked. (Computer Game Review, July 1994)
a full-page magazine ad for a company called Titan Games, inexplicably depicting (in the medium of pencil) a massive and seemingly naked man. to all intents and purposes he appears to be about to bite the head off a live ram, which he is holding in one hand above his open mouth. the other hand tightly grasps a horse, and it is implied that it will shortly face the same fate.

by the way, this is a mail-order company selling PC games.

Really happy that new people found Dreams in the Witch House through the Steam autumn sale 🎃 If you have enjoyed the game, please leave a review. I've been staring at the review count for a few days, waiting for it to hit 400, but it doesn't seem to work. So help is needed!

A fourth entry in the RuneScape series of MMOs has been announced by developers Jagex at this year's RuneFest. It's going by the obvious placeholder name of RuneScape 4 for now, is being developed using the Unreal Engine, and is still a decent way off. Read more
