Lost in Cult's new Editions publishing label focuses on art and indie games preservation
The focus on elegantly preserving these titles is similar to what we've seen from Limited Run Games, while Editions' focus on indie games reminds me of the Criterion Collection's approach. Each game included in the Editions lineup will come with a fold-out poster, a sticker, a numbered authenticity card, a 40-page essay and developer interview, and gorgeous cover art, along with the game itself. The first three games to launch under the label include Immortality, The Excavation of Hob's Barrow, and Thank Goodness You're Here. Editions plans to announce a new game every month, starting in July.
Each of the three games is available to preorder through the Lost in Cult site starting at £59.99, with the option to choose between Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 5 editions when applicable. PS5 owners can opt to buy the entire first run of Editions games at a discounted price, containing Immortality and Thank Goodness You're Here, and they'll get a third (as of yet, unannounced) Editions title when it launches in July. Lost in Cult is asking for patience with shipments, which may take up to six months. But if they're as good as the books, the wait will be worth it.

Birmingham gives an emotional farewell to Ozzy Osbourne as tearful family lead tributes
BIRMINGHAM, England (AP) — Ozzy Osbourne returned to the 'home of metal' for the last time on Wednesday as an emotional Birmingham honored one of its most cherished sons. Thousands of Black Sabbath fans paid their respects to the band's frontman as his hearse made its way through the city center followed by his tearful wife and children. The hearse carrying Osbourne, who died last Tuesday at the age of 76, went down Broad Street, one of the city's major thoroughfare, to the Black Sabbath bench, which was unveiled on the Broad Street canal bridge in 2019. 'Ozzy, Ozzy, Ozzy, oi, oi, oi,' fans screamed. Six vehicles carrying the Osbourne family followed the hearse, accompanied by police motorcycle riders and a police car. The family emerged briefly to inspect the array of tributes, with his wife of 43 years, Sharon, visibly moved and wiping away tears. And long after the hearse had moved on for the private funeral, the city, which has embraced its reputation as the citadel of heavy metal, was pounding to the beat of Black Sabbath. It was in Birmingham, where he grew up, that the world-conquering heavy metal band was formed in 1968. Osbourne embraced the city in central England as much as it embraced him, as was evident on the streets. Long-time fan Antony Hunt said it has been an 'emotional' day and that he wanted to be in the city to pay his respects. 'What's amazing is there's so many, such a wide variety of age groups, from little, little children, teenagers to people in their 60s, 70s, so it's great to see that,' he said. Katie Brazier, head of events at Birmingham City Council, said Osbourne meant 'everything' to the city. 'He never forgot where he came from,' she said. 'You could still hear that Brummie accent wherever he was, you know, I think some people have hidden away from the fact that they are from Birmingham and they've got that accent but he kept it all the way through.' Osbourne and his Black Sabbath bandmates — Terence Butler, Tony Iommi and Bill Ward — were recently awarded the Freedom of the City in recognition of their services to Birmingham. Black Sabbath's story began in Birmingham in 1968 when the four original members were looking to escape a life of factory work. Without doubt, the sound and fury of heavy metal had its roots in the city's manufacturing heritage. Osbourne never forgot his working-class roots. The band has been widely credited with defining and popularizing the sound of heavy metal — aggressive, but full of melodies. Osbourne was Black Sabbath's frontman during its peak period in the 1970s. His antics, on and off stage, were legendary, and often fueled by drink and drugs. He was widely known as the 'Prince of Darkness.' The band's eponymous debut album in 1970 made the U.K. top 10 and paved the way for a string of hit albums, including 1971's 'Master of Reality' and 'Vol. 4' a year later. It went on to become one of the most influential and successful metal bands of all time, selling more than 75 million albums worldwide. At the final show on July 5, 42,000 fans watched the band perform for the first time in 20 years at Villa Park, home of the city's biggest soccer club, Aston Villa, with Osbourne seated on a black throne. Osbourne had been in poor health in recent years, especially after being diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 2019. Osbourne, who also had a successful solo career, found a new legion of fans in the early 2000s reality show 'The Osbournes' in which he starred alongside Sharon and two youngest children, Kelly and Jack. ___ Pylas contributed from London.

Pregnant Laura Adlington Savagely Hits Back At Trolls Calling Her ‘Fat'
is proving once again that she won't be silenced by body shamers. The 'Great British Bake Off' star, who is currently expecting her first child with husband Matt, took to Instagram on Monday to share a series of stunning photos, including a radiant poolside shot in a white floral swimsuit. Alongside the snap, Laura Adlington shared a powerful message to those who've cruelly branded her 'fat' in an attempt to tear her down. Laura Adlington Shuts Down Trolls With Inspiring Message 'It's always fascinating how quickly people reach for the word 'fat' when they want to hurt you, as if it's the worst thing a person can be,' she wrote alongside the snaps. 'If that's the worst thing you can say about me, maybe I'm doing ok.' The size 26 body positivity advocate didn't stop there, shutting down trolls with a message that resonated with thousands of fans. 'I'd rather be fat than cruel. Fat than dishonest. Fat than judgmental. Fat than someone who thinks another person's body is any of their business.' Adlington Speaks Out On Harmful Before-And-After Culture Adlington's candid reflections come just weeks after she stripped down to her underwear to share another raw body positivity message with her followers. Posing in black lingerie, she reminded fans that 'Not a 'before' photo' is an important mantra, pushing back against the flood of transformation posts that often label bodies like hers as something to 'fix.' 'Lately, my feed has been full of 'before and after' photos, most of them starting with a body that looks like mine. Or smaller,' she explained. 'And I get it. People are allowed to change. To feel proud of themselves. But I wish more people would think about how they speak about their 'old' selves. Because a lot of us still live in those bodies. And it hurts.' For Adlington, who has long been a passionate advocate for self-love, these messages carry even more weight now as she prepares to welcome her first child following a nine-year fertility battle. Pregnant Laura Adlington Pens Tearful Letter To Unborn Son After Nine-Year Fertility Battle In June, the baker revealed she and Matt are expecting a baby boy, and last month, she left fans in tears with an emotional letter to her unborn child. 'Dear baby, we're over halfway. Can you believe it?' she began. 'Some days it still doesn't feel quite real, and if I'm honest I still feel like I'm living in a dream. Like I don't deserve this. Ever since the day I found out about you, I've been waking up at around 4am. I lie there in the dark, imagining what it will feel like to finally hold you. 'I wonder what kind of person you'll grow into, what your laugh will sound like, what little quirks will make you, you. It's been a really long journey to get here, one filled with a lot of heartache," she continued. "And although I'd be lying if I said we weren't both still waiting for the rug to be pulled from under our feet, we are finally letting ourselves dream a little louder.' Adlington Reflects On Journey To Motherhood The touching note continued with Adlington revealing she has been eagerly preparing for her baby's arrival. 'I've been busy making lists of all the things you might need. I can't wait to get your pram and start putting your nursery together. Tiny steps towards the day you come home.' She closed on a heartfelt promise: 'But more than anything, I just can't wait to meet you. To hold you. To look into your eyes and finally whisper, 'You're here. We did it.'' Laura Adlington Reveals Heartbreaking Story Behind Baby Outfit Saved Through Nine-Year Fertility Battle The 'Great British Bake Off' star, who first announced her pregnancy in June 2025, revealed she and husband Matt bought a tiny baby outfit during a trip to Tesco nine years ago, long before they knew how difficult their journey to parenthood would be. 'Negative test after negative test. So many tears. So much heartache,' she admitted, recalling the pain of waiting 'with empty arms' while friends and family celebrated pregnancies. Despite the struggles, the outfit stayed with them through three house moves, tucked away as a quiet reminder of hope. 'On rare occasions, I'd find it while spring cleaning and would hold it close to my chest, praying one day our baby might wear it,' Laura shared. Now, expecting a baby boy, the outfit has taken on a new meaning. 'Maybe this was always meant to be,' she wrote. 'Now, this little outfit isn't just a symbol of hope. It's waiting, just like we are, for the little boy who was always meant to fill it.' Solve the daily Crossword

Paul Mario Day, original Iron Maiden singer, dead at 69
Paul Mario Day, the original frontman of legendary British heavy metal band Iron Maiden, has died. He was 69. The band confirmed Day's death to Fox News Digital and shared a heartfelt tribute on social media. "We are deeply saddened that Paul Mario Day, Iron Maiden's first ever vocalist back in 1975, has passed away. Our thoughts and heartfelt condolences go out to Paul's family and friends," the statement read on Instagram. "Paul was a lovely person and good mate. Rest in peace Paul." Day's cause of death has not been disclosed at this time. Iron Maiden's post was accompanied by a photo of the band members in more recent years and performing back in the day. Fans flooded the comments section with their sentiments. "Rock in Power," one fan wrote. Another comment read, "May Paul Mario Day R.I.P. He's now rockin' with the best of them up in heaven." "My condolences to all of Paul Mario Days' family and friends, R.I.P," another wrote. At the age of 19, Day was recruited by bassist Steve Harris to become Iron Maiden's very first vocalist in December 1975. Day stepped into the spotlight as the band's original frontman until October 1976. Following Day's time with Iron Maiden, he formed the band More. The band More also paid tribute to Day on social media: "We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of the great MORE vocalist Paul Mario Day." "Paul was a huge part of the NWOBHM from his time in an early version of Iron Maiden and of course his fantastic performance on the Warhead album." "He was a well loved figure in British rock music and played many memorable shows not least the legendary 1981 Monsters of Rock show at Castle Donninton with AC/DC Whitesnake/David Coverdale as well as tours with Iron Maiden Def Leppard and many other legendary artists." In 1985, Day took the stage as the lead singer for the band Wildfire before joining a reformed version of the band Sweet. The following year, he relocated to Australia, where he stayed active in the music scene until his death. Day is survived by his wife Cecily. News of Day's passing comes after former Iron Maiden singer Paul Di'Anno's death last year. He was 66. Representatives for Di'Anno confirmed the news to Fox News Digital at the time, saying the singer died at his home in Salisbury, England. "On behalf of his family, Conquest Music are sad to confirm the death of Paul Andrews…" representatives and family for Di'Anno said in a statement to Fox News Digital. "Born in Chingford, East London, on 17th May 1958, Paul first came to prominence as lead singer of English Heavy Metal band Iron Maiden, between 1978 and 1981." Di'Anno was the vocalist for the band's first two albums, "Iron Maiden" and "Killers," in 1980 and 1981, respectively.
