And yes, that includes a giant space Yoda placeholder.

After four days of painstaking terraforming.
While some of us have spent the start of Bunny Day frantically launching projectiles into the air as if in the midst of some apocalyptic invasion (although actually just because we really want those flying eggs), other Animal Crossing: New Horizons players have been putting their indoor time to far more productive use - with one such person turning their entire island into a surprisingly convincing recreation of Zelda: A Link to the Past's iconic overworld map.

Feature | One of my favourite things about games is ghost sounds
/rumbling...
Maybe you're playing a game and you've just finished a boss fight. There's a cut scene waiting, but it needs a little loading. The screen goes black for a second, and the loading doohickey starts to turn or sparkle or flutter in a corner. Listen carefully. There's a good chance you might hear a ghost sound.

Feature | Destiny: The Official Cookbook really understands Destiny
Shake Shaxx.
There was a place in Brighton a few years back that used to do a drink called London Fog. If you've never come across it, it's a sort of Earl Grey latte, really - tea with a lot of hot, foamy milk, and something else, some glittering flavour, that I struggled to identify. The place closed down just as I was getting into them, London Fogs. I looked up a range of unsatisfactory online recipes, and then bodged together a few London Fog concepts of my own, all of which were completely undrinkable in thrillingly different ways. Then I found this cookbook a few weeks ago - Destiny: The Official Cookbook. Page 171. London Fog. Honey and almond milk. It's good. Actually, it's great!

Opinion | PS5 and Xbox present strikingly different visions - and both bring big positives for games
Reasons to be cheerful.
So this is it: the new consoles are here. Well, not here, not both (or all) of them: along with many of you in the UK and Europe, I'm eagerly awaiting the arrival of my own PlayStation 5 next Thursday. But look, there on my desk, peeking discreetly out from behind the monitor as I type this: a real, live, retail Xbox Series S. Isn't it lovely?
