Night. The House of Chimes - a tower which you might immediately think of as Big Ben - is adrift in the River Thames. It still seems to be keeping time. In the background, a large, alien building looms over the city of London.

While it's not officially ranked, it's wonderful to see Starlink: Battle for Atlas on the list. The team was absolutely thrilled to get to work with the Star Fox IP for our crazy big little game and it remains a highlight of my career!

Our games industry is people. Our studios are people. Our teams people, our games by people for people. Our games are made by people, in groups of people, in teams of people, making people things for people. The magic is people, and the people deserve so much better than all this. I am so sorry.

I am liking almost everything about 007 First Light so far, except for the fight against the twins. This is easily the most frustrating boss fight for me since Viper in Titanfall 2. I would give anything to skip it so I can continue with the game.

Dragon Inn (1967), directed by King Hu. Captivating.
The Criterion Collection cover art for Dragon Inn, directed by King Hu. It depicts three sword fighters in dynamic, dramatic poses. A medium close-up screenshot from Dragon Inn. A young woman in refined 15th-century Chinese garb holds the tip of a sword between her fingers, staring intently at her attacker offscreen.A medium screenshot from Dragon Inn. A man in refined 15-century Chinese garb sits at a table in the Dragon Inn, listening to the words of the establishment’s nervous bookkeeper, while a man passes by in the background with a look of resignation on his face.
