Adolescent Games
Games were always aimed at teenagers, but with the exception of Skool Daze, rarely reflected their actual life of hanging around bus-stops and stropping at their parents. Let's fix that by designing games about adolescence.

Comparing notes with a priest about confession - we haven't stuck links to every episode of the Fesshole podcast in this front page blog but thought we'd draw your attention to this one as it came out quite thoughtful, and possibly not what you'd expect from a podcast spun out of the most horrible confessions we could find to publish.
