Middle aged Everton fan getting back into the C64 and Speccy after many years away, slowly advancing through Ghosts and Goblins, and sometimes watching bad/awesome films.
I weirdly saw this one before any of the other movies, so I wasn't that disappointed Jason wasn't in it. I loved it at the time, found it really creepy, but haven't seen it in years. Curious if it holds up!

I love BG1 and 2 - I've played them so many times over the years. Have fun!

Nice one, good work! Keep at it, it's a great programme. I did my first ever 5k using it last year at 47 and now I'm hooked. I never saw myself as a runner but somehow it gets you there.

Enjoyed Your Sinclair but I was always a Crash fanboy. It's probably a bit like how I got into Iron Maiden - the amazing cover artwork was such a draw!

Matt Gray did some seriously awesome tunes.

On the downside, the script was pure cheese and some of the performances overwrought, and none of the characters ever really felt like real people making real decisions. Still a good cinema experience overall.

Very sad. Big fan back in the day, and I was touched by his interview in the Guardian a few years back.

Disco Elysium was fantastic, and a much shorter experience than BG3. Definitely worth checking out if you haven't already.

He's good at getting shit teams organised and eaking out results. I think he'll do well at Wolves if he goes.

Great song and trickier than it sounds. I played this with a mate (2 acoustic guitars) last year and we just couldn't get the hang of it - we could play the parts fine but all together it just sounded like a dirge! The layering is tricky.
