Well, the cat is finally out of the bag… been working hard this year on a brand new thing.
Immersive. Experimental. Magical.

Would love to see you there, if any of those are your thing.
…and even if they’re not.

Was lucky enough to get a sneak peek at @Oobahs latest project - and boy is it a good one!
The Great Amazon Heist is on Channel 4, tomorrow night at 10pm… can’t recommend it enough.
Smart, funny, thought-provoking.
…Oobah is the cheeky bastard we all need right now. Loved it!

@newjorg …what a beautiful machine that is, Jorg.
But Daytona? It’s made for Jet Set Radio, no?

[Iain Sharkey @iainsharkey]

I don’t often post on twitter - only when there’s something good to shout about.
…and this is great!
VR heads… Dreamcast classic, Cosmic Smash is back!
Made with a lot of love, by a damn fine team - it’s a joy to play.

…and it’s out now!

@isyourmindsafe There are so many places I could go with this one.

@oderiviere "Music Production is the first thing finished in a video game"

All lies, and you know it.
The first thing finished in a video game is ALWAYS the story and writing.

[Iain Sharkey @iainsharkey]

Watching live footage of mourners filing past the Queen’s coffin.
It’s like a giant compliance test.
If one does an ostentatious bow toward the coffin, then the next ten follow suit, and do something comparably overblown.
It’s extremely entertaining.

[Iain Sharkey @iainsharkey]

@LeeKirton77 @IamStephenLong @oderiviere Oh man, great times with even better people.
My mind also turns to the launch at Pinewood. @oderiviere even got me to perform!

[Iain Sharkey @iainsharkey]

@PixelDandy @starwars Yes.
Willow.
O.M.G!!!!

[Iain Sharkey @iainsharkey]

@oderiviere To disagree should be the most interesting part of the conversation for anyone.

[Iain Sharkey @iainsharkey]

@PixelDandy And you! We should say hello at some point.
Those monorails ain’t gonna build themselves.

@ItIsSharkey She’s only 10? Dude… that’s…

[Iain Sharkey @iainsharkey]

@Aiannucci A terrific sketch, from an incredible show.
Fun fact - we put a huge nod to this sketch, in @DerrenBrown ‘The Guilt Trip’ back in 2012.
Before revealing the Police station to be fake, at the end of the show, Derren punches through the wall - exclaiming ‘it’s all made of paper!’

[Iain Sharkey @iainsharkey]

@LeeAriGold A beauty of a Saturday-Afternooner, this one.
With the popularity and advancement of modern videogames, this one actually deserves to be remade.
It could be an absolute belter!
Shame the rights are tied up in all kinds of wackiness.

@magicmarc

[Iain Sharkey @iainsharkey]

Oh yes!
Just received my code for the Guilty Gear Strive open beta.
Cancelling ALL plans this weekend.
Favourite game series, in my favourite genre - so excited!!!

[Iain Sharkey @iainsharkey]

@MorganMagic Spirograph.

[Iain Sharkey @iainsharkey]

@magicmarc Nah mate - I can do both at the same time.
I’m that good.
You up for some daft shouty fun tomorrow?

[Iain Sharkey @iainsharkey]

@LeeAriGold Oh man - everything about this poster is perfect.
The positioning.
The tag line.
The lighting that makes him look bronze.
Best poster, for the hands down greatest 80’s movie (after Bladerunner) - I am SUCH a fan of this film.
