Very intuitive looking upcoming game called Gunpoint. Watch the video to get an idea - if you’re not intrigued within the first minute, then you should probably play more Sonic. My favourite scene is at 3:50 involving a door slap.
Check it out.

A lorry has overturned on the M1 in South Yorkshire, spilling more than 20 tons of Marmite onto the road. The Guardian covers the story further.
I’m assuming there will be a greater number of people who now hate Marmite. It is a vile and disgusting food. I never got the appeal.
CNet covers the story of Bradley Manning, the young Army private who, last July, was charged with releasing a video of US helicopter troops shooting and killing several unarmed people and wounding two children.
The US Army then added a further 22 charges, one of which is an allegation of aiding the enemy, which could carry a strong penalty. However, his attorney has filed a document in which he cites the benign nature of the data and points out the lack of damage it actually caused to US national security.
This might allow them leverage if he is convicted, which he probably will be considering he breached his authorised security clearance and stole US military property. This leverage may give them the opportunity to reduce his sentence or even arrange a plea bargain with the Army.
In what is potentially a very insulting snub of the other richest countries in the world, China has said it’s not ready to endorse a partnership for global development. The goal of the partnership was to create some simplified and common principles that would reduce the confusion and lack of cohesion in the current aid marketplace, as well as ensuring that nations such as Brazil, India and China start to deliver aid to other nations too instead of just receiving.
Brazil and India have also followed suit avoiding what is titled the Paris-Accra-Busan agreement. The delegates from each nation had been attending pre-conference discussions and meetings without incident so their agreement had been, perhaps naively, expected.
Most of the $40 billion that China has provided in aid over the last six decades has been mainly focused in African nations where a lot of Chinese oil and natural resource projects are based. The African Development Bank, while stopping short of making a direct accusation, has discussed concern that the three nations in question are blurring the line between fundamental aid and commercial investment. It says this behaviour undermines the collective goal to reducing poverty.
