Fun at the Play Expo today in Blackpool. Got my Llamasoft Spectrum game signed by Jeff Minter, checked out some indie games, bought Xeno Crisis on GBA, caught up with Brenda & John Romero & and narrowly beat Charles Cecil at Galaxian!

I mean, the ad is appalling. But it must have appealed to me at the time (I didn't have a girlfriend, so...)

I don't remember any of the "nerd off" stuff though - I just had two interviews. It might have been after this "competition" finished.

Excite! New Roland TR-1000 announced - mixes digital sounds with - finally - analogue sounds from the 808 and 909 drum machines! Pricey though - £2699. I'll be sticking with my TR8S for now. www.youtube.com/watch?v=BH5q...

I want to see more kind, supportive and progressive policies from Labour - that’s how you beat mean, angry, spiteful parties like Reform & the Tories.

Good point against a good team but gutted - 2 mins away from a well-deserved victory. Leeds 2 Bournemouth 2.

Great to see The Beano and DC Thomson celebrated in Dundee at the V&A and with a Desperate Dan & Minnie the Minx statue! Big part of my childhood.

The V&A building in Dundee is just fantastic. Designed by Kengo Kuma & uses different materials & textures including concrete, wood and even stone stairs embedded with fossils.
