On the morning of 15th April: I realised that I have had this 'Raiders' candle since Christmas 2017... A present from my amazing Brother-in-Law.
Referencing the final moments of Raiders of the Lost Ark, the bad guys have opened the Ark of the Covenant and Toht is amongst the Nazis to have his face melted off!
This thing is too cool NOT to burn! So that evening we streamed all 4hrs 49mins on Facebook :)
It was a great bit of fun and I am pleased that I finally did it, rather than just keeping it 'pristene'.

Welcome to Digging the Game. In this series we play topical computer games as archaeologists. Archaeological gaming is a fascinating and fun form of archaeology we can all get involved in!
Today I explore some of the virtues of archaeogaming via one of my favourite PC gaming 'experiences' The Stanley Parable.
Note: The visual glitches you can see on screen are not part of gameplay. For some reason my capture device didn't like this playthrough. ie It may be thematic in a deconstructional way but it's not intended.
