25 years since this thing came out. I’m very fond of it, it’s possibly the most personal thing I’ve made and, if I’m allowed to be proud for a day, I’m rather proud of it. All 8 eps up on Channel 4. #TheArmandoIannucciShows #Ch4 #ABigEgg
The Armando Iannucci Shows
Comedy
Channel 4 (TalkBack)
30 August - 18 October 2001

Each episode focused on specific themes related to human nature and existentialism, around which Iannucci would weave a series of surreal sketches and monologues.

played through the drifter again yesterday just to feel something

(that something was immense love for everything about the drifter, a game 10000x more people should play)

Surely everyone uses:

1. Everything's coming up Milhouse
2. A little from column A...
3. You better run, egg!
4. Let's go to the old mill anyway
5. Monster Island is actually a peninsula
The 5 Simpsons lines I've uttered most off the top of my head

1. You're a dull boy, Billy
2. I don't know... coastguard?
3. Hey! He's still got it!
4. A little from column A, a little from column B
5. ...the red thing's connected to my wristwatch
The 5 Simpsons lines I’ve uttered most off the top of my head

1. No! Not in my mouth! … is what that kid would say.
2. Everything’s coming up Milhouse!
3. The goggles! They do nothing!
4. [whisper] I think he’s talking to you
5. AND I SAID you fly boys crack me up!

Why take ten years for one game?
It's a nice, round number.

Ten years ago, it started with a game jam.

Since then, we've poured all of our love and craft into every single pixel.

Now, it's finally here: a wordless point-and-click adventure in a prehistoric world full of dinosaurs.

Theropods launches August 20th!🦕

Our version of the main theme from Quest for Glory IV reimagines the gothic rock classic as a decidedly more Hetfield-esque speed metal affair. (It may not sound like it at first, but give it time.)

cannot stress enough how the elder scrolls games didnt hit for me that hard because so much of what people dug about them was already in this

usage-based skills improvement, day night cycle, alternate storylines, to play this game when it came out felt like staring into the future
Sierra takes a not-so-serious stab at fantasy role-playing...

Hero's Quest print advertisement, 1990. I love the weirdly specific "Best new game in 2 years!" blurb. 🤣
