Friday night @FACT_Liverpool! @gemmamaylatham and I are deploying Hazuki Knit, the ultimate QTE/knitting machine crossover game you didn't know you needed. Let the swearing commence!

Only just catching with how awesome @WeThrowSwitches was on Friday night. Witnessed a high score throw-down on BLACKBOX, @MechBird!

[James Medd @jamesmedd]

Possibly the best button I've ever put on anything. Hoping it will be pushed generously @WeThrowSwitches on Friday: https://t.co/7zrZ0PW264

The sun is shining, GamesAreForEveryone is in just over 2 weeks, and we're testing things in the studio. All in all, not a bad Tuesday ❤️

@CharlesYarnold @v21 ha! The scale model lingers to confuse people.

[Awkward Arcade @awkward_arcade]

...oh, @nowplaythese AND @EdSciFest, we should say.

The pile of Arcade is growing ahead of @nowplaythese next week.
