That's a wrap on Steam Next Fest!

Thank you to all everyone who picked up the Fogpiercer demo and supported the fantastic work that @MadCookiesGames is doing on the game. The demo will remain available on Steam so you can keep slamming runs to your heart's content. ๐Ÿš‚๐Ÿงก

If you're after sweet, sweet visuals, don't miss out on one of the best human artists around on a rare period of being available for work.

I editted a Youtube Title to read: "Here's all the Easter Eggs we found in Jo Nesbo's Detective Hole" and then I took a screenshot because - as ever - I am a cheeky scamp

I managed to parse it correctly only on the third attempt. For a while I thought there was a man called Rich and he was very excited by the new horse game.

Oh, you make games do you? Well, what are you working on right now? I suppose you'd like to exhibit it at a cool games event in Bristol later in the year?

Answer these questions and more (and asked a lot less aggressively) in this great questionnaire, and then maybe I'll play your game at Impact!

Man admits stealing Fabergรฉ egg and watch worth ยฃ2m in London Enzo Conticello stole a handbag, containing the items, in Soho, Southwark Crown Court hears.

Nothing at all suspicious about someone carrying a ยฃ2m Fabergรฉ Egg around and then it "getting stolen" and then it "going missing"

Google maps used to direct cars down a set of steps near our house, which ended up being a lot less like the Italian Job as you might hope

Did you know that if you line up Steve Buscemi's Wikipedia page correctly you can make it look like his head is on Ethan Coen's body?

My plans for an elaborate crime were thwarted by the offspring of the star of My Cousin Vinny.

I would have gotten away with it too if it hadn't been for those Pesci kids!

A wonderful film, and an absolutely terrible year to be in the best adapted screenplay category!

I'm going to tell you now to buy this when it comes out later. Because hopefully by then you'll have forgotten that it was me that recommended it when it turns out the script is fully of rude words and you get the vapours.

My least favourite brand of YouTube video at the moment is the "You will not believe this moment is completely improvised!" and it will end up being something like David Tennant doing the soliloquy from Hamlet
