Buyer Beware!

As I lay on my miserable wooden cot last night at Turtle Grange, I was unusually restless. Thankfully, Barry had not become ‘confused’ again, my tossing and turning was in fact due to a sudden flashback to a horrifying abuse of consumer rights that scarred me when I was a far younger stud and went by the name of Terrapinbreeze. Now, I stand before you as a man, mostly, and this is where evil scum-chain McDonalds gets its… its. › Continue reading

Spectrum is…Red?

When you’re young there are great opportunities for going out every night until 2am with your friends, partying the night away and having a good time. But what if you’re a sad, sad bastard like me? See, no-one has ever considered that, probably because no-one gives a toss. I however, do, and so will show everyone the light – turn your state-of-the-art computer into a Spectrum emulator! Of course, I’ve covered this topic on my site before (see if you can find that article. It’s so cunningly described), but having found more games to play, my destiny was obvious…

Jetset Willy 2

  

 
Jetset Willy 2 is an… odd game. In fact odd is probably the most sane word possible to describe it. For some reason you play a tiny guy in a hat who must run about a house, collecting glowing taps and things for no reason. All to a computerized rendition of Hall Of The Mountain King. For an example of it’s eternal strangeness, take a look at the picture above in the middle. Look, it’s Satan bouncing up and down in a library › Continue reading

The Nine Billion Modes Of Scavenger

Recently, I acquired a Transformer toy. Whilst such things are not an amazingly rare and life-shattering event, this was a Beast Machines toy, something neon orange and green, something with no face and skinny legs, something… sinister. Despite the startling resemblance to my sister, the purchase was still made.

And what a pretty boy Scavenger is, with his evil raisin-like head, and alt-mode of a…thingy › Continue reading

Thunderbirds 2086

Those people who know me and don’t spit in my face every other minute (wait, did I say people thus implying a plural?) know that I enjoy collecting strange tapes, mostly cartoons since they are the most entertaining things ever. And thusly I have a collection that includes such ‘amazing’ gems as The Gobots / Rocklords Movie and MASK: The Movie. It was whilst picking up the crippling pain that is MASK: The Movie that I came across something I’d only heard of in huddled whispers, of which only a few, tiny shots and mentions existed on the internet. What was it that piqued my curiosity that fatal day? For as we all know, curiosity killed the Matt. Hell to that, I thought, and so purchased…

 

Yes, THUNDERBIRDS: 2086 for those who can’t read my dodgy screencaps. Its Thunderbirds in space! An early 80’s Japanese Anime version of Thunderbirds! But a BETTER Thunderbirds, for it has hot girls and spaceships and lasers › Continue reading

Coming Out Of The Closet

My life used to be one hidden in shadows, crying for my sad, pathetic existence. Now of course, I have a happy life, full of sun and light and court orders. Where once there was shame, now there is brightness. Why is this? Because I came out of the closet. › Continue reading

Who would win –

Alpha Trion vs Emirate Xaaron
