Heavily Pixelated #28 Ken & Kieran
July 22, 2020 scottcjones 0Comment

Ken is a salty, experienced game developer. He’s worked on a host of AAA games in his career. Raised and educated in Canada, Ken impulsively relocates to the UK in his 20’s, and manages to land a series of plum gaming gigs.

Early in his career, Ken meets a strong but complicated woman. They fall in love and have a son together. But the relationship is strained for a variety of reasons.

And Ken, desperate to support his reeling family, takes a job in a remote part of Scotland. During a contentious time, Ken and his young son find solace in 2003’s The Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time.

Ken and Kieran (who is now grown, obviously), proving that the apple never falls far from the tree.

Farrah takes aim — and saves the Prince’s skin once again.
“Now, please shut your pie-eater and follow me.”
“I thought we agreed – – no shirts.”
Pro Tip: Not having a shirt on makes it 4 percent easier to balance on the game’s tiny platforms.
