Hi all. Just a quick note to say we’re aware of some strange issues with our menu pages on the desktop site. The reviews themselves appear to be unaffected, but something seems to have gone wrong with the genre categories. And it all seems to be ok on mobile at the moment. Anyway, we’re looking […]

A quick note about a couple of small changes to the site structure: we’ve put together a Best of the Blog page with links to some of our longer-form pieces and series over the years. As it says on the page itself, we wanted to find a way to highlight these and put them on […]

Exciting news! We have a mobile version of the site, thanks to WPTouch. Owing to a combination of the plugin’s limitations and our own, the mobile site doesn’t have the same functionality as the desktop one.

Just the other day i remembered that a while ago I created a basic hit counter for our site. On inspection it needs a few improvements, for example to count unique as well as overall hits. Also it started counting a couple of years ago, and there’s no breakdown by month or anything, so any […]

I’m happy to report that we now have nearly all of the Lucasarts adventures covered. Given that the favourites were so well loved, and even 2nd-tier stuff like The Dig is very enjoyable, I do think comprehensive coverage is a worthy goal for a site like ours. All that’s left now are Zak McCracken and […]

So no new content since the beginning of March. That’s pretty rubbish to be honest. In mitigation, we’ve both had (completely unrelated) housing issues to sort out. I was due to move house on 29th March but the new place wasn’t ready in time and we’d already packed up most of our stuff and blah […]
