@ottawascot The only way I’d watch friends.

AI has gone too far

You'll miss the BBC when it's gone!

Gods (Bitmap Brothers, 1991) lets you take on the role of Hercules in his quest to achieve immortality. Four guardians have invaded and usurped the citadel of the gods. The gods offer any hero who can succeed in retaking the citadel one favour. Every(!) single magazine that reviewed it, gave it a 90% or higher rating - and righfully so. Gods was gorgeous to look at, with brilliant design and graphics and great sound FX, however the controls were a bit hit and miss (clunky). But then again, you would look past that just for the sheer beauty of the levels and sprites. Other than Cinemaware and Lucasfilm, nobody could reach the level of the Bitmap Brothers when it came to game design and graphics. Into... the wonderful!

Ironic that BBC resignations result from bias against Trump when the greatest continuous BBC bias has been against the moderate and left leaning politicians in Britain and in favour of Farage and Tice

If they re-made The French Connection, #Nickwoltemade would be a prime cast selection….#NUFC

While MAGA hyperventilates over NYC electing a Muslim “commie,” the White House is rolling out the red carpet for Abu Mohammad al-Jolani — the former ISIS jihadist who fought alongside militants killing U.S. soldiers in Iraq. His DC reception is in 2 days. Can’t make this up...

Captured in 1986, The Smiths performed "Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others" during their final tour, a rare live take on one of their most distinctive songs. Released that same year as the closing track on The Queen Is Dead, it showcased Johnny Marr’s shimmering guitar and Morrissey’s dry humour, blending melancholy and wit in equal measure. The song’s fade-in effect, engineered by Stephen Street, became one of the album’s defining touches, subtle, surreal and unmistakably The Smiths.

I know that Command and Conquer didn't start the real time strategy (RTS) genre, but it certainly feels like the gold standard, at least for the mid 90s to the early 2000s. Westwood Studios were an awesome team, also developing Dune, Eye of the Beholder, Lands of Lore, etc. - but of course, their flagship was always the Command & Conquer series. I was never particularly good at RTS games, but titles like Dune 2 and Command & Conquer were just so incredibly awesome, it was simply a lot of fun to play them. They were easy to learn and get into, but hard to master. Exactly how games should be. Westwood Studios is listed in Guinness World Records for selling over 30 million (!) copies of Command & Conquer games worldwide. Average price for the game was around US$ 80, so that amounts to roughly a quarter billion dollars. Not bad for "just" a game.

@MuseumCommodore C64…. Fantastichën What a game as was the first one. Medicccccc!

The elite media-political ecosystem is broken. It falsely branded those who pointed out the risk to public safety of having racist misogynist Maccabi hooligans visit Birmingham as ‘antisemitic’. Shame on all those who took part in it.

Actual reality: Knight of the realm, three times elected mayor of London, lives in the UK Versus Ex convict living in Dubai, being sued by MOD for giving away state secrets, barred from being a company director, owes HMRC over £1million

Labour and tuition fees, then and now.

I don't know what I did in a past life to be punished with primary school parents' WhatsApp groups. "When is PE this week?" It's Wednesday, like it has been for every fucking week so far, Jan.

John Bolton called for Assange, Snowden and Manning to be executed under the Espionage Act, for communicating true information to the public. Now Bolton faces 18 counts under the Espionage Act for mishandling national defense information.

This could be interesting.

The Civic Centre was commissioned by T Dan Smith, Newcastle's great visionary. It contrasts the sandstone and brick buildings of the Town and is designed in the style of post-War idealism, when architects had a lot of freedom and big budgets to play with.
