I’m currently playing through Rage and really enjoying it.

The races are fine and not that hard to win and I haven’t touched a card game yet. I get enough money from selling all the junk I find as I play.

I’m regards to it’s sequel, I’m very methodical (blame my autism 😁) and I played the game by competing all missions and side quests in one area before starting the next.

This side effect of this was that I upgraded the character so much, when I competed the final mission, it was so easy, I didn’t realise it was the final mission and it took me by surprise!

The 8 bit guy. I loved his retro computing channel and then one day, he acquired a rare IBM computer and promptly destroyed the power supply by sticking a screwdriver into it (if I remember correctly).

For some reason, I googled about this and discovered he’s a gun nut. They’re videos of him going grocery shopping with his rifle on his back which apparently he does this knowing it will annoy people.

Unsubscribed from the channel and never looked back.

I was being a bit tongue in cheek. GAME took over EB in the UK. I don’t think they’re any dedicated gaming shops anymore, just independents.

Then basically there’s no point in this shop existing anymore. They’re basically toy stores now.

I occasionally look in Game but can’t remember the last time I actually bought anything. It would’ve been a pre-owned title anyway.

Is Electronics Boutique still going? 😁

I normally listen to heavy metal, rock maybe nerdcore rap. The other night, I was alternating between the albums of Natalie Imbruglia and Melanie Chisholm. There’s some good stuff in there.

I saw such a device on Instagram. I think it was a Bluetooth connection from the computer diagnostic port to the phone.

The app takes this data and makes the right noise based on engine revs. The app was full of different engine sounds both real and fictional along with silly noises such as farting.

Another great video from Neil. I will visit the museum one day. That is a beautiful looking machine, especially the keyboard. I was very surprised to find out it was only a 286.

That’s exactly what the Amstrad version was that was released in the UK. A 386 PC with a MegaDrive on an extension card.

I’ll never forget that moment in the game when it felt like you were bending and stretching a spring.

If you goto Open Fodder, you can download an open source port of Cannon Fodder. It contains all the demo and special versions that were released. If you want to play Cannon Fodder the full game, you need to supply the PC or Amiga data files.

Great game, although I had to be content with the Atari ST version. I also remember a special edition for an Amiga cover disc which featured the Cannon Fodder guys invading a sensible soccer pitch.

I was thinking way too far back! 😆

An Indiana Jones game was announced and partly developed for the Xbox 360 and PS3 but it was canned. Only a Wii and PS2 version was published.

Corrected. 👍

In the beginning, it was a mix of LiftOff! and Jerboa. The dev of LiftOff! had twins and understandably, he hasn’t returned and the app has fallen to the wayside.

So I tried Thunder (available on Android and iOS) and it’s been really good, lots of regular updates and features as well.

Thank you, I’ll give that a go.

I don’t think they have their open official app but they offer their API free to developers I think.

I’m on Android and I’ve been through several TMDB apps but I don’t really like any of them. I do know that Letterboxd use their API as well but that’s a more social based thing.

Same program, the developer changed the name. 😊

If you like NewPipe but want your videos to skip the annoying bits, there’s a fork called Tubular that incorporates SponsorBlock.

There is OpenRA. An open source engine to get those classic C&C games running on modern machines but it only supports C&C, Red Alert 1 and Dune 2000.

They are working on the next engine with Tiberian Sun currently under development.

If you’re interested in Dungeon Keeper, I highly recommend a similar project called KeeperFX. Play the game on modern systems, in higher resolutions, with game fixes as well.
