Lots of travelling - last week New York, this week London, next week Germany - and lots of work have joined forces to keep me away from the Blog, and this will unfortunately continue until Tuesday. January has been one of the busiest months in memory, and February looks to continue the trend.

The good news is that this week's deadline, an important milestone, was met, and met splendidly. The game currently known as TLJ-Next (its official title will be revealed quite soon, I expect) is in top form, and I'm amazed by how great it looks at this point. After all, we're still far, far away from release, and it will only improve. I wish I could say more, but you'll have to wait a couple more months. It's definitely worth getting excited about, however. I am.  ¶ 23:17
