Syndicate is technically the first game I worked on.
men hands names
If you don’t know the men at your back by name, don’t be surprised if they won’t follow you into battle.

Science casts a long black shadow back over who we think we are, and where it falls the temperature falls with it. Its touch is chilly and unforgiving.
thinking world twenties
I think certainly if I'd started getting published when I was in my early twenties, I was quite sheltered then and didn't know anything much about the world. I hadn't had any direct experience of how the world works.
