When Huw Edwards gets home, do you reckon he can't stop narrating. "The fridge there, of course. a great thing for keeping liquid cold, as it has done for many years. The milk, a favourite of her late majesty, now. into my tea. A real atmosphere in the kitchen here tonight.".

Thinking about the time a games mag, possibly PC Gamer, ran a competition asking readers to 'scare us' and someone sent in a load of telephoto lens shots of the team leaving the office. Dunno if they won but they should have.

This looks like the kind of picture you find in the crew quarters in a sci-fi narrative game, pinned up in someone's bunk. Rotate it for a handwritten message on the back, with a date that's probably a locker code.

Wild how 'the 1980s' now means a low-poly Ferrari Testarossa powersliding across a scrolling neon grid as synthwave music plays, rather than people trudging around grey streets wondering if today's the day they'll get melted by a nuclear blast.
