Father and geek. Definitely don't imagine myself as old as I am.

Loving Lego, Star Wars, Nintendo, tech, and science.

Took me far too long to write this, which explains a lot.
I have a controversial opinion in that I didn't enjoy it after reading the book. Too many character and storyline changes.

I can't deny that the animation is superb, though.

Hope you enjoy it

As a former Suffolk Boy I can relate to views like this.

I'm still amazed that the DS could run it. I'm always surprised that it wasn't a 3DS game

I remember zooming over to the Game in Eastbourne early one morning to get a Wii at the height of its popularity, when I heard they had 5 in stock. They didn't...

I did get a bargain Lego set in the closing down sale - so not all bad.

My local Game closed recently too. Pretty much just a toy shop by the end though. Surprised it hung on for as long as it did in this age of digital purchases and Amazon.

I'd be torkulent about using those words. I'd probably filmjam away from them

Here's my copy from 1987. Was the first King I read. Loved it and made me a lifelong fan. You can feel the groundwork being laid for later stories in this

I had to install a Windows XP VM the other day from CD - luckily it worked! Even better, I was able to use it to recover the data from a .bkf backup file that had my wife's original Sims neighbourhood files.

Well done! My daughter was devastated when she accidentally knocked the controller off the stand and damaged the touch screen. Thankfully was able to find a replacement digitiser for less than £10 so she could finish Wind Waker!

I've got the same HOTAS - but not played for some time. Was a backer and did play quite a bit, but ultimately struggled to find the (uninterrupted) time it needs. Also, my combat skills suck! Hope you get some enjoyment out of it

Loved SaberWulf (on the Speccy). I think I did finish it once - but might be dreaming that!

Lunar Jetman was also a favourite.

(Oh, and hello to another 'Ade'!)

Definitely had a love/hate relationship with Horace!

May I suggest photographing butterflies instead? Behold!

I love blackbirds - easily my favourite bird!

We had a small lab of Archimedes at uni in the early 90's. I remember being pretty impressed with them

The Centre for Computing History is wonderful place, hidden away at the back of a random industrial estate!

This /is/ coming from somebody that had to call the Nintendo helpline to find the sword in Ocarina of Time in the late 90's, so not really a surprise

The older I get the *more* they get me in the feels - I guess parenthood does that to you.

I try to let my kids know it's OK to be emotionally invested in a story, although they probably think I'm weird

Baa Dum!

I miss my dog. Do they smell like toffee popcorn?
