I loved the second Conjuring movie where they gave it a Tardis sized interior and a basement.

If anyone wants the .adf file then just drop me a DM and I'll get you a link. Don't expect anything too amazing, though.

Ha! I still have a Pipex journalist account that the editor of .net mag got me in the '90s. I have to now go through some TalkTalk portal to see it and I think all the junk in the world gets directed there and maybe, buried deep within its archives, there is that golden million-pound opportunity.

Just realised that I can load up the Shoot-Em-Up-Construction-Kit game I made on my Amiga A500 way back in 1989 on to the Analogue Pocket. I still can't beat it but definitely a nostalgia blast. I'm amazed I saw it through to a final game.

That is super clean. So often that name panel is yellowed (it’s happened to my own one).

Well, that's been a rather lazy day. Watched Evangelion 3.0+1.01 and a couple of episodes of FLCL this morning, did a bit of noodling on The Projectβ„’, played a bit more Chrono Trigger and then had a doze to my current fave Jpn jazz-fusion band - Dezolve (new album out in a week or so). Top Saturday.

I’ve lost count of the amount of times I’ve watched both that and Chasing Ghosts.

Don’t get it. It’s haunted and will cast a solemn malaise over your whole family if you buy it. How about that?

As ever, it's always a personal opinion. I have no problem with anyone liking something I don't care for.

Is that what you take from that? I'm not sure who's the sicko, here πŸ˜‚

I think it doesn't help to binge them so close together, definitely.

Quite possibly one of my favourite box arts.

I started a rewatch of the MCU recently only to discover that I’m not that keen on a lot of them.

β€œIt reminded me of the quote that is often attributed to George Orwell that states β€˜All irregularities will be handled by the forces controlling each dimension. Transuranic heavy elements may not be used where there is life’”

True, but there aren’t that many are there?

Nope. Nintendo handhelds were region free up until the 3DS.

It's either that or an over 60s, white uk bloke Onlyfans.

I thought an afternoon tidying around in the garden might free up my brain enough to think of a great money-making idea that would take me up and into retirement but stupid brain just thought about games, comics and cartoons. Stupid brain.

When we left the house before where we are now I put a chair in front of the shell of a TV with a small twig figure hanging where the the screen was, up in the loft.

It’s 1976 all over again.
For those too young to remember we had a really hot summer and a β€˜plague’ of the critters.

I'm watching these from the beginning and I'm still on the first b&w season where it's more spies and fictional baddie countries with nefarious plans for world domination than monster of the week.

New bit of scribbling for the lovely folks at Sega Mania. Don't ever ask me to draw something from Virtual On again 😜

I remember the Nuts guy really not giving a monkeys about playing it. We each had a spot in this barn with the game, TV, PC and a Zip disc (remember those?) to take any screen grabs home with us. I took so many I had to ask for another couple of discs. Good trip, though.

Well, about 20 or so, from all over Europe (us, official mag and Nuts(!) holding the flag for the UK). Had a day to play it in a β€˜living’ medieval museum thing.

Yeah, about that...
My bit was really the 'we've played it but not enough to give it a score' pre-review (I drew the straw to go over to Germany for a couple of days). I can't remember who it was that insisted we put 'reviewed!' on the cover, though.

Worldy Bloke likes to keep that kind of thing on the down low just in case any number of other world-type characters come after him.

Ha! Jes has been dining out on that review for decades.

I love the idea of him telepathically telling the customising place not to forget the logo on the roof.
