O'Sullivan compares two snooker prospects to Davis and Hendry
34+ min ago (578+ words) Ronnie O'Sullivan has given high praise to two young snooker talents, comparing them to legendary players Steve Davis and Stephen Hendry. The Rocket turned 50 this week and is still sitting pretty in the world's top 10, along with his fellow veterans John Higgins and Mark Williams. There is also a string of players over 40 years old in the top 16, with Mark Selby, Neil Robertson, Shaun Murphy, Barry Hawkins and Gary Wilson all still going strong.

The seven-time world champion spoke recently about practicing with 22-year-old Wu Yize ahead of his maiden ranking title win at the International Championship. In a slightly surprising comparison, O'Sullivan likens the…...
37+ min ago (880+ words) Choose your own adventure The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt director Konrad Tomaszkiewicz is building a huge role-playing game (RPG) with a team of around 155 people at his new studio Rebel Wolves. He says stepping back from a more than 500 person strong team at CD Projekt Red has helped foster "more connection, more passion, more fire." "I think that medium sized teams and smaller teams are actually better for making games because you have greater freedom," he told me. "I wanted to do something new, unique and push the boundaries of the RPG genre to create our own area in this genre which is closer to the paper RPG." What does this mean in practice? Something that's "more open," he explained, where you "have more freedom, and you can do whatever you want to." It's certainly an ambitious goal, but with one…...
