I've been playing a bunch more Avowed (after a break while traveling last week) and hey it still fucking rules!!! It's a joy to smash enemies and unravel side quests and explore every nook and cranny for sparkly treasure chests and fun little parkour challenges. Plus you can summon a bear

Last year, I reported that Bungie had fired former exec Chris Barrett for misconduct. Barrett then sued for wrongful termination, which surprised me given that I'd seen his texts to subordinates and figured Bungie could publish them in response. Which they now have. www.scribd.com/document/830...

Tomorrow marks the 11-year anniversary of the closure of BioShock developer Irrational Games and the subsequent founding of Ken Levine's Ghost Story Games, which has not yet released a game. Almost all of Ghost Story's original 15 employees have since quit.

Pleased to report that I *love* Avowed, the latest RPG from Obsidian. I expected strong writing and combat, but what’s surprised me (and kept me wanting more even after 40 hours) is the exploration. Everywhere you turn there’s a secret or treasure or rooftop to climb — it’s dense and full of life.
