It's beginning to feel a lot like winter, which means it's time for all the various winter sales to start kicking off. GOG.com is first to usher in the holiday spirit, with "1900 deals up to 90% off." The story of a man, a motorcycle, and a whole lot of butt-kicking, Full Throttle was lauded in 1995 for its cinematic style and sharp writing. Double Fine remastered the game last year and you know what? The game part hasn't held up as well, though.

One sureshot – and, perhaps, foolish – way to test autonomous, or driverless, vehicle technology is to step in front of a four-wheeler equipped with it. If the tech works, the vehicle will stop or steer itself away. If it doesn't, you could be roadkill. One of the writers of this story chose to test an autonomous van at the premises of Hi-Tech Robotic Systemz, a Gurugram tech company that has been working on driverless cars for some 12 years. When he stepped in front of it, the van either stopped or drove past avoiding him. It's early days and you won't see much about them but autonomous vehicles are here in India.

One of America's greatest living artists sits in a former clog factory in San Francisco. Tim Schafer's videogame career has spanned every platform from the Commodore 64 to the current generation of consoles. Along the way, his extraordinary talents as a writer, puzzle maker, and industry rabble-rouser have consistently pushed the entire medium forward. Grim Fandango and Psychonauts, in particular, are unchallenged classics. His best game, Brütal Legend, stands as an important but little known artistic achievement of the early 21st century.

The fact that developer Double Fine Productions has chosen to remaster the classic 1995 point-and-click adventure Full Throttle isn't in itself remarkable. The LucasArts titles of the mid-1990s are widely loved and celebrated, and we have already seen updates of stablemates Grim Fandango and Day of the Tentacle. What is remarkable is that the strength of the narrative design, silly gags and beautiful vistas hasn't diminished at all. Holding a PS4 controller in front of the new version, it's obvious that the 20-year-old game is 10 times more ambitious than most commercially-made video games today. Not in the action of the game, in which your biker man Ben merely solves increasingly obscure puzzles involving the collection and application of objects to scenery (most memorably illustrated in the classic command "Slam face on bar").

Tim Schafer is smiling and shaking hands with a hovering crowd as I sit down next to him. A college student asks if she can talk with him later about his career. A fan thanks him for his work -- a library of iconic video games that stretches back to the early '90s. He takes the time to respond to each of them, encouraging the student and graciously accepting the fan's gratitude before sitting down to walk me through a demo of Full Throttle Remastered, an HD remake of one of his first games. I ask him if it was strange to revisit a game he created over two decades ago.
