I really enjoyed @NottsVge this year, great variety & lots to see, play and buy – all of which I dutifully did. I got to meet and chit-chat with illustrator genius and lovely chap Wil Overton, who kindly signed my first ever issue of Super Play I owned, & my beloved N64 Magazine.

My Super Famicom developed a power supply problem and a bit of a yellowing affliction too. Thanks to @retroupgrades & @topvint she's now back to life and looking better than ever.

He was a complete disaster. Unravelling began during the League winning season itself. Further heads need to roll with those involved in his appointment.

If you know me, you may know how I adore Bangaioh, so today is a very good day: a superb English translation has been released for Bakuretsu Muteki Bangaioh! You can have no excuse not to experience it if you never have before. Announcement and download: youtu.be/CUeB3yF1wL4?si=MueF…

Beyond the masterwork art of The Designers Republic, what makes 'WipEout Futurism' just as remarkable is the quality of its writing – putting other videogame 'coffee table book' publishers to shame. Recommended.

Getting hold of the elusive issues 1 & 2 means I now –finally!– have the full Super Play set... 30+ years since a 9-year-old me first picked up this brilliant little mag.

I had an enjoyable time at @NottsVge today. Playing, gawping at & picking up a few retro videogames, plus listening to Brit-soft heroes @TheOliverTwins' tales of making Dizzy!

I taped this to VHS in 1994 and re-watched it repeatedly. A fascinating and excellently-produced introduction to manga and anime. Thank you @wossy!

On the topic of imminently-finished GAME's bizarre business decisions, I think back to this '90s recruitment advert and can't fathom where it all went wrong.
