Why Have We Stopped Seeing UFOs In The Skies?
One late evening in 1981, lying sleepless in my student bedsit at the top of a house in Manchester, I became aware of a pattern of bright flashing lights on the wall.

As I continued to watch, an object materialised from within the cloud, advancing until it stood in plain view in the night sky.

Mainstream Media Gets Video Games Badly Wrong
Yeah, I know. That’s not a news story. Not original, and sadly, all too expected. But over at Kotaku, Mark’s got an excellent challenge for the mainstream media when it comes to games coverage.
