Most of my work team are in America; none of them were happy, a couple of them were even driven to tears by the news.

Zero Time Dilemma, only a month to go now.

Hopefully it'll start getting a little more lively when more Shenmue 3 news starts coming out.

Anno 1701. I like the Anno games, but I feel that they always go a little downhill towards the end when you're inevitably forced to fight the villain of the story. Why do I have to go to war with them? Why can't I shame them away by building a more successful settlement?
