I did jury duty earlier this year, and the lawyer for the (deeply, obviously guilty) defendant spent the entire two days of court on his laptop, working on other cases and sending WhatsApp messages.
I did the whole lot of them again about a year ago. HL2 perhaps very obviously has aged incredibly gracefully, but I was surprised at just how much Half-Life still feels like its ahead of its time. Absolutely incredible environment design.
This is just one part of a much larger salvo of exclusive Witcher stuff at IGN. As ever, it's a team effort - huge thanks to @cardy.bsky.social who joined me in Poland and made the excellent video versions of these features, and @wyp.bsky.social who put together an amazing slate of news articles.
