Certainly I think Season 3 clashed with The Terror, and I don't see him being 100% needed for Season 4, but hopefully he'll be back for the next one.

I'm definitely going to renew my sub after the trial ends.

They were setting him up for further down the line, I really hope they manage to hire him back as he's said he's not involved in the show any more.

None of the EU layoffs have been announced yet AFAIK.

I don't think this is something unionisation would fix (in as much as if A:B are doing redundancies under proper legal process and giving people proper redundancy), but it's still a fucker. It sounds like management are expecting a really bad, no good, awful few years to be doing this much wholesale slaughter after a big revenue year. I hope they all go on to form new studios and make some excellent stuff, given the talent involved, and have the classic revenge of doing better than their previous overlords.

I’ve been playing this a bit at lunch at work. It’s indecently good fun for a free game, even if I’m awful.

This is my life now

Yes, although it’s not as good as the first chapter there are still some standout moments.

Yeah, I’ve taken a Souls break after hitting the wall on them. Very tough, with a nasty lead up and lots of chances to get fucked.

Whatever happens, you're going to enjoy it with that set of drinks behind you.

It makes Ground Zeroes look like, well, they condensed things down to make it fit. It's so good.

Oh yeah, and watch the first four episodes before you make up your mind.

They finished filming last week I think. Three months of post and it would normally be airing in April, but if Amazon want the whole lot as a lump it’ll probably be June.

For me it was the combination of 90s TV inspiration (X-Files, Twin Peaks, The Outer Limits reboot), Stephen King storytelling and that perfect episodic structure. Having Poe on the soundtrack didn't hurt either.

Nintendo own part of the Pokemon IP and an undisclosed amount of Niantic so they probably got value from it, if not directly.
