We discussed the arc of her coming to understand Bitcoin in a recent interview I conducted with her: In the interview, she admits that she was downright confused when she first came into contact with Bitcoin proponents and…
Ron Gilbert, creator of Monkey Island, has revealed his new title, Death By Scrolling – described as an ‘open-world, Legend of Zelda-styled action-adventure game’. Gilbert previously worked at LucasArts and created several titles – he’s perhaps best known, however, for his work on the Monkey Island series and Maniac Mansion. He left LucasArts back in 1992 and recently published Return to Monkey Island. “I started working on this game back in 2019. It started out great and everybody I showed it to loved it, but it was simple,” Gilbert wrote on his blog earlier this year. “Everybody asked for progression…
