Nerdy about LucasArts and Sierra video games, Star Wars, architecture, JRR Tolkien. He/him/fhtagn. Also on bsky.app (Bluesky) under the same username.

Many thanks to Snowy on the King's Quest speedrunning Discord (aka the voice of Robin himself in OneShortEye's excellent video on Longbow) for tracking this down!

Yes, we get it, you hate James Bond. So why are YOU the one who gets to review the game? Your opinion was clearly set well before the release. Bad form, PC Gamer.

007 First Light made me think: What if James Bond shouldn't be in games?

Double-oh-no, not you.

Maybe I'm crazy, but IMO asking the guy who said "James Bond is an insufferable public school dickhead" and "Bond just shouldn't be a videogame protagonist" in previous articles to review the new James Bond game was not a great choice.

007 First Light review

IO awkwardly welds together two schools of game design.

You can enable this cursor by hex-editing a save file (see above link). However, AFAIK the mouse clicks and the keyboard shortcuts stop working after doing so, so all you get to do is wave it around.

TIL from the Fate of Atlantis TCRF page that there's an unused alternate cursor design in the game files.

Pretty much finished playing through story mode in the most recent Hitman trilogy. I have to admit, I enjoyed hitting mans.

Playing Hitman 2 from the recent trilogy. I quite liked the subtext in a recent mission. You have to kill an Indian pirate chieftain known as "the Maelstrom", but nobody knows what he looks like.

In other words, he's a perfect nobody... or as Latin would put it, a Nemo. :D
