I know what you’re thinking. “How banal, yet another programmer has got Doom running where it doesn’t belong.” And I get it: you’ve seen id’s formative FPS running on a Lego brick, a PDF, bacteria, 100 pounds of potatoes, a pregnancy test, and even a piano. I don’t think I could make up something more…
From vampire nightclub owners to Proclaimers-singing reality TV stardom, pretend journalist bank robberies, and genuinely astonishing in-game Shakespeare ensembles, GTA roleplay is no stranger to turning full-blooded virtual violence into imaginative theatre production.

You might have expected that Banjo-Kazooie would get a PC version somewhere in the last 20 years given that Windows purveyor Microsoft acquired Rare in 2002, but alas, it’s remained stranded on Xbox consoles and the original Nintendo 64 all this time. As they have done with…
The best laid schemes o’ mice an’ men gang aft agley (especially if you don’t own ACNH). “Aloha!” as we say here in Scotland, and welcome to an impromptu Nintendo Life Burns Night celebration, with me, an Irish fella. Now, for those unaware, and to get things off in a high-brow sort of way through…
I love to try a new crafty hobby whenever I can, especially since it’s been proven that my ability to create art with pen and paper is null.
