For #PrinceofPersia fans, Ubisoft has posted a series of articles and interviews with team members (including me) reviewing the games' 35-year history, what's new and what's coming next: news.ubisoft.com/en-us/catego...
Stick with games journalism long enough, and you too may someday see the creator of your favorite childhood game promote your work!

If you remember the Phantom. You're old. Only time it was shown in public. E3 2004. A vaporware "console" really just a PC with a service in theory. The Keyboard did come out however.

Eleven years ago, I wrote to Tom Stoppard to ask about this coup de théâtre from 1949. It took me down an unexpected rabbit hole - in memory of Stoppard, here's what I found.

Watched Starcrash (1978) again on the MST3K marathon today and I am now convinced time travel is real, because someone clearly went back 47 years with a ChatGPT-generated script
