A big thanks to all my followers past and present
So apparently I bought a VR Steam Frame whilst on holiday a few weeks back. Was going to send it back but took too long so I thought I'd give it a go. It's pretty good. UI is confusing. Controllers are ok. Can't get a comfortable fit even with ergonomic kit. Movies look amazing
Trying to come up with a best man speech is difficult. It's always fantastic in your head until you go to write it down and then it sucks! Got til tomorrow to figure it out and shave off half the running time. Ooer!
Malta is pretty impressive. Only here because our flight home got diverted. Literally every corner you take there seems to be something worthy of a photo. A lot of wealth and opulence here. Stunning.
We're in Malta. Crikey. One of the places on my bucket list. Only a very short stay so a meal and night in a hotel room and then early flight home but cool none the less.
Love the chaos of cancelled flights. Told by easyJet we need to make our own way from Sicily to Malta then they'll get us a flight home from there. We book everything (inc expensive taxi) then they say they have a flight for us next day in Palermo instead. Bit late now easyJet.
Grappa is a bit harsher than Raki I've discovered. Ouch.
Sicily is pretty nice once you escape the confines of your hotel. Here's some ruins and shit.
Word to the wise, don't expect decent Italian cuisine in an all inclusive resort. My missus wasn't happy when I said I should share to them the recipe for a chicken and mushroom pot noodle as that would be more authentic than the slop we were served. 1/10. Honestly shite.
FFS buying on Steam when abroad is a nightmare. Several texts, app approvals and what have you later and still impossible. Fuck off.
The first of many beers no doubt. The lad has gone to get some culture in Sicily. Not too far from Syracuse. Looking forward to seeing some of the old temples, having some proper Italian food and enjoying time with my missus. Cheers all
No reviews for a couple of weeks whilst I go on holiday, but here's Commando on the C64. Arguably Who Dares Wins 2 is superior, but Commando is fairly fun on all systems. Everyone loves being a one man war machine. #commodore64 #Ineptreviews

It's Friday! Go bananas. Don't worry about doing a good shift at work today. You can sort it out Monday. Or let a Weekender take the fall of your business is open Saturday and Sunday. Enjoy yourselves folks!
What's got four wheels, two arms, two legs, moves slowly and swears like a trooper? Me in bastard car that has another engine fault.
Fuck off!
I'm not a fan of this new YouTube view malarkey. If someone accidentally scrolls across your thumbnails it counts as a view. Everyone's view counts are now crazy. Actual engaged views are what really counts. Obviously YouTube have their reasons for the change.
I've never played a Vic 20 game. Am I missing anything here? Is it not just an older crapper version of the C64 bread bin? I wonder if there are any exclusive titles on it worth looking at.
I'm at Anglesey Abbey about to watch the original cinema version of Star Wars with the missus. She has treated us to the front row posh seats. She's never even seen it! Crikey now I know how the other half live. Should be a good evening. #starwars
Huxley Pig, anyone remember him? Another animated kids TV show that was on TV for a couple of years. He's always daydreaming about having adventures. Unfortunately his last one was a trip to the abattoir. He's not been seen since. Nevermind. #zxspectrum

A bit of Super Slam Dunk for the SNES. Just like Shaquille O'Neal, Magic Johnson endorsed this crappy basketball game, obviously wanting that juicy cheque. Here's my quick review #retrogamming #snes #ineptreviews
