Ghost Games – The EU-funded video games we may never play
This year the European Union will spend around seven million Euros on video game development. Is this sizeable sum likely to be expended wisely? Having looked at some of the games Brussels has helped fund in the past, I have doubts.
Friday Foxer #192
This week’s handmade co-op puzzle won’t defox itself. If you’re a whizz at quizzes, lateral thinking, and search engine sleuthing, why not lend a hand.
Antrim after Angola

As I mentioned in this piece, my withered brain struggles with A86’s relatively high (compared to Vietnam ’65 and Afghanistan ’11) village and unit count.
R.I.P. Ilan Papini
I’ve just learned that Ilan Papini, the chap behind thoroughly likeable sims such as Virtual Sailor and Vehicle Simulator, died in February from injuries sustained in a plane crash.
