This is still the best cityscape I’ve ever seen. Half-inched off tinternet for wallpaper a while back and wish I could credit the photographer.

EDIT: It’s Hong Kong, for those who’ve asked.

So, all that stuff I’ve sold. Must have made a fair bit, right? Well, sort of. I’ve spunked it all on Transformers. Mrs Ben will be delighted, right?

BEN’S RETRO GAMES SALE!

Standard

I’m open to all offers. Prices don’t include P&P which, obviously, will be more for bigger items or if you’re outside the UK. Payments needs to be via PayPal for my Transformers fund!.

I can’t reserve items until I’ve received funds I’m afraid.

Feel free to ask me any questions you have on Twitter – @benparfitt

Quote

One day I was at the studio sitting on my chair, in the zone, my eyes closed, my headphones on, blaring music in, trying to think of ideas for Fable The Journey.
Suddenly I felt my chair move. I looked around. Standing there was the Microsoft chair adjustment personnel, this nice woman who comes over once a month, fiddling with my seat settings to make sure it was posturepedically correct.

I thought; this is insane.

I haven’t yet written about the recent happenings at GAME here yet. I probably will at some stage. But it’s the messages from GAME/Gamestation staff (both good and bad) that have really made this such a significant chapter in the professional life. Check this due out.
