Filling out Capcom's "Super Elections" survey and the last 'question' is so strange, this is the only way my brain can process it.

"I'm a Doctor Who Anniversary hardback... just probably not the one you were expecting." Got regifted this for Christmas from a relative needing to make space. 20 years old, fantastic condition, covers every serial, names Richard E. Grant as the Ninth Doctor and I love it.

When no one was looking, Taskbaarchitect took the loot from forty forts. He took the loot from 40 forts. That's as many as four tens. And that's terrible.

I remember in the gamerscore heyday, @Waylander73 , @BIGsheep, @thevowel and I would be trying for at least 1000g per month. Clearly, I'm slipping. (Cocoon was bloody brilliant though.)

I'm all inspired now:
Little Splashtail, you're my lunch, Little Splashtail, you I'll munch. I can dine three in-game days, Cook the Splashtail in a bouillabaisse. This Splashtail, I reiterate, I'm going to thoroughly masticate. Dramatic tension starts to build In case the Splashtail will be killed. Oh, the Splashtail I'll consume, You've got the jist now, I assume. Going to chew its face right off In a Splashtail stroganoff.

@yolkfolk_com As a footnote, you can also step right off the tree and use the rule that Dizzy gets 1000 points whenever he falls onto a new screen to confirm that the score counter will roll over when it gets to 100,000 points and that the highest digit is entirely for show.

Did you know you can jump out-of-bounds in Treasure Island #Dizzy on the Speccy and land in the title screen? I found this years ago but with the game on Antstream Arcade I thought I'd capture the glitch because, well, why not? You're welcome, future-scholars.

A barrel sits in the middle of a small ship, with three pirates around it, one of whom is glowing yellow. Behind the ship, another two vessels can be seen with blue triangular flags flying from the top of their masts.
