Since the second post was starting to get too bit, here’s part three with a mix of news in both full and short format:

We'll be able to hit zombies with meat in singleplayer medieval survival sim God Save Birmingham

There's something extremely English about the slack-skinned medieval peasantry of God Save Birmingham. They all look like they ate a lot of sausage sandwiches in their time.
