A middle-aged nerd from the UK. I like films and write about them, sometimes for Film Stories or my blog.
Have a great day.
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? 😁
As a child of the late 70s/ early 80s, we never had brick separators. The majority of my bricks had teeth marks! 😁
That’s was a game I loved so much, I played through it twice! Shame it never got any “pro” enhancements as the canyon levels hit the FPS levels causing stutters.
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.
A new, updated one wouldn’t go amiss. It would certainly be a way for me to throw a little more cash, Lego’s way.
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.
Lego released a minifig version back in 2014, if that’s what you mean?
I read somewhere the other day that things aren’t going well and they’re thinking of rebooting old IPs like The Incredibles.
Is going back to past hits a good idea?
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’d love to see the original cut, there’s clearly hints that there was more adult humour in there.
Also, if you’re into that kind of thing, I highly recommend the “No Retreat, No Surrender” retrospective documentary.
I’ll never forget that moment in the game when it felt like you were bending and stretching a spring.
I like the minifigs, but not impressed with the tree.
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.
Considering LEGO have made pretty much every other Batmobile, I’m surprised this isn’t on their list.
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.
