I also did questions for this quiz. I did 3. It took me 10 minutes.

When you see this at the end of the year I trust that will explain the extreme quality difference.
Putting together a short dos trivia quiz video for a holiday event with friends. 10 questions from easy to tough. Assuming it goes well, I'll post it to my YouTube channel afterwards.

As usual, I'm over-engineering the thing. 😕 Have spent 10+ hours in production thus far.

If nothing else the lesson here is Zombies.
It's new video day!

And as it was my birthday yesterday, I'm looking at a couple of games I bought around my birthday in years gone by:

This genuinely should be the illustrative example for how gaming went wrong during the "Brown FPS shovelware" era.

Someone tell him what he played otherwise he’ll text me about it and I’ll just ask him why he’s not playing Enduro Racer on the Master System.
Bloggo can't play everything. No human can. But this means that you can discover new things. Some are surprising, some are stupid.
Let's see what these are like then...

Self-ID for left handed to be ended.

Will now require a ten year wait and the opinion of three psychologists.

Firstline treatments to include breaking all the fingers on the left hand with a mallet.

NHS to offer sinister hand amputation to persistent cases.

£11 is a damn good price for Kathy Rain 2. Don't have Kathy Rain 1? Good news that's bundled with it. Also 15 other Raw Fury games. www.humblebundle.com/games/rawfur...

But all the time saved by using AI art has been used to make it a bug free enjoyable game right?

Right?
Ai in videogames sucks. Ai in art sucks (it isn't art). Try and mash them together? FrankenstAins Monster levels of rubbish.

Some (yolk)folks should know better sadly.

Also it's been so long since you could buy this in WH Smith, mine isn't called WH Smith. Would have picked it up too if I hadn't bought mine with the personal shopper service at the Centre for Computing History.

No one watched this.

Watch this.
While I’m done for the year for videos, as we’re nearing the end of the year I’ll leave you with this one from last year (that’s actually one of my faves). Enjoy and wishing you all a safe, happy and healthy holidays! ❤️🎉

Isn't it great when old stuff gets dragged out of retirement and forced to work again, just to be forced to do something they are not suited to.
But hey, enough of that, here's some games that were wheeled out of a nursing home to entertain some millennials or something.

This line from Video Games (Apr 83) was too prescient. One of the more frustrating things to me about the state of video game preservation is what feels like a general lack of interest in pre-'80s games; I will never stop banging the drum about the importance of '70s games (especially Death Race).

The biggest movie of the year on the cover, but the Last Action disappointed, and the game.... oh the game.

Elsewhere Sega Force Mega try to make a game, make a prediction about 2025 we are now in a position to test and miss the most important news of the month by a mile.

I also own the c64 Evercade carts, the only ones I’ve bought used.
November 25, 2025 at 11:46 PM
Incidentally I own one RGL machine, a c64 mini bought in a manner which gave them no money at the bottom of the market. As a product it’s a perfectly bang average but completely uninteresting unimaginative item for the vaguely nostalgic. None of their other ones have been close to cheap enough used.
