Two models by a row of arcade cabinets, in a navy jacket with grey joggers and a sage quilted jacket with cream trousers

Every once in a while, when we’ve earned enough demerits, the powers-that-be like to thank us for our tireless service. Sometimes it’s a chicken dinner, sometimes it’s a lukewarm can of Boddington’s on a Friday afternoon, and sometimes, if we’ve been extra-good, we’re treated to a few hours of video game-based reverie in the local arcade.

Unfortunately, someone threw a tantrum and broke the controller for Time Crisis 2, so until we can prove ourselves once again, we’re back to toiling in the content mines for the foreseeable…
