Early in 2020, Nightdive Studios and Alcon Entertainment announced they would be developing an Enhanced Edition of the classic 1997 Westwood Studios Blade Runner game.
It was originally planned to release in 2020 for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch, but was delayed to an unspecified date due to technical issues.
Stephen Kick of Nightdive explained that while the source code for the game was lost, they had managed to reverse engineered it and reworked it…

Week of 20 - 26 June
Topic:
What gameworld would you want to walk around in? Say you could be transported into that world and be a ‘character’ in it. Where would you want to go?
Possibly Skyrim I think, there is a lot to see and do there. Or also the world of the Witcher. Both quite large worlds, lots of interest and a developed lore.
Where would you travel to?
Week of 27 June - 03 July
Say you live in an apartment, or you don’t have solar panels, or running the genny has become too expensive. What else do you do during loadshedding? Does anyone play boardgames? By candlelight, perhaps?
Today I defrosted the freezer and sharpened all the knifes in the kitchen.

Top job Sir! I think we’ve got to figure out a less admin intensive way to do this for future iterations. Maybe monthly targets and counts for topics and articles and then use peoples post counters to measure the total posts made in the month.

Drop one from me - Week 20-26 June I didn’t submit an article, just topic.

My attempt for the week July 4 - 10
Topic:
From the discussion the other day about x-files being old. Why can’t it be a ‘classic’?
I know it has a different aspect ratio and the tech in it is old. But watching the first episode was intriguing, more than some modern shows. Like stargate, it also started out older and then as time went on it evolved. But I still really like stargate.
So what distinguishes old from classic. Can shows/movies even be classic? Like cars can be classics?

Topic: Background Music Streams and Playlists - Off Topic - Most Epic Win
I’m a big fan of playing low key background music on my PC or laptop when I’m working. One of the easiest ways to do this is to play something from one of the many continuous livestreams on YouTube. This is especially true when I don’t want to hassle with waiting for iTunes to update again so I can access the library there. And before another irritating Spotify ad takes me out of my flow again.
One of the live streams that I’ve regularly gone back to (well, technically there were two) are those…
