The Pokémon Gym that stands ten minutes from where I live is an imposing beast: a wedge of purple-orange glass slicing through the Croydon skyline. Right now, it belongs to Team Yellow, which is great because that's who I've sworn fealty with, but also not so great because it is already fully staffed. Before I start trying to sort that out, I'll just grab my phone and trawl the high street for a better class of Pokémon. I've seen Dratini there. It's only a matter of time.

A few weeks ago, Windows 10's lock screen suddenly served up an image of unearthly beauty: a luminous alien mushroom vehicle of some kind, delicate and almost translucent, perched on the end of a midnight jetty. It turned out to be the diving gondola at the end of Selin Pier in Germany, and I was so captured by the idea of the thing, the way in which its fantastical form enabled its fantastical function, that it was hard not to dream about a quick trip through the waves in it. Slope downwards to thy depths, O sea! There is a peculiar imaginative tug to the strange life that awaits at the bottom of the ocean.

It's hard to think of a game with a more infamous reputation than Lichdom Battlemage. It launched on consoles in April with an average frame-rate under 15fps. Yes, it was really that low. A couple of months on, a patch designed to address these problems was released and we can confirm that the game is much, much better now. In fact, there's a night and day improvement.
