Tech Journalist, retro gaming obsessive, podcaster, YouTuber, probably too busy to be on this many social networks at once. Send coffee.
About every five years or so, usually when I'm cleaning up, I find my copy of this cursed game. Its single solitary upside is that, back in the day, I got paid to review it. I should have held out for more money on reflection. The PTSD is real. #retrogaming #nintendoDS
Mugus is a fine goat -- indeed, he's outstanding in his field (when it's not raining). I'm sure that's what they mean.
My client, hereafter referred to as "Mr Jim" will see you in court. (Box is still in this kind of condition because hey, it's not like I'm going to try to play it. Once was enough.)
Finally got the opportunity to play Bubble Bobble on the BBC Micro. Is it the best version of Bubble Bobble? Hardly. But it is Bubble Bobble, and so therefore it's the best game on the system. That's just the way it is. #retrogaming
Who the hell thought "Glow in the Dark Caramello Koala" was a thing that should exist? It's a crime against taste, nature and culture. I want the guilty parties caught and shot immediately.
I’ll once again be talking tech with Jo Printz on ABC Radio Shepparton at around 8:50am this morning — tune in if you’re local, or listen live online! www.abc.net.au/listen/live/...
Just enough time to sneak out one last review (written and video) for the week as I test out the Nothing Ear (3) Headphones… with a little help from Jabberwocky. #Headphones #NothingEar3 ko-fi.com/post/Fresh-R...
Fresh review time, as I’ve had the Google Pixel Watch 4 strapped to my wrist for the past couple of weeks. While it’s not a radical reinvention of Google’s approach to smart time pieces, it is rather nice… #PixelWatch4 #Smartwatch #Google ko-fi.com/post/Fresh-r...
Time (once again) for me to submit to our future robot AI overlords -- this time, in robot vacuum/mop form! Here's my video and written review of the Narwal Flow! #AI #RobotVacuum #Narwal ko-fi.com/post/Narwal-...
Quick unboxing time… but as it turns out, I have Nothing to unbox… ko-fi.com/post/Unboxin...
Today, I took suffering for the ART rather literally, as I checked out the cheapest projector you can buy on Amazon. Spoiler: It’s very, very cheap. Further spoiler: There’s a reason for that… #Projector #Amazon #Review ko-fi.com/post/Fresh-r...
Like many fans of #retrogaming i had long considered E Honda's flying sumo headbutt to be deeply unrealistic. And yet...
I will be speaking (and listening)... but under no circumstances dancing. For this I feel we can all be grateful.
Yeah, Cain was visually acceptable as Superman in his time, but wrong on every other score. Possibly somebody should send him this reminder:
Just finished another 5km run in my efforts to scale Australia’s 5 highest peaks (virtually) to raise money for Canteen… but while the distance is falling away, so too are the donations. Read the latest blog post and DONATE TODAY! #Australia #Cancer #Canteen www.fivepeaks.org.au/fundraisers/...

Time for a Christmas movie. You do Christmas movies your way… and I’ll do them mine.
Atari VCS branded coffee. NO! BAD ATARI! You have no excuse for sullying the tiny quantity of goodwill left in the brand. Go sit in the corner and think about what you've done. No, you may not take Yars with you. It's still in trouble for seeking revenge. #retrogaming #Atari #coffee #NO
Quick video time, as I ponder on what Telstra buying Boost Mobile will mean for its customers, as well as the wider Australian telco scene. #Telstra #BoostMobile #Australia #MVNO https://buff.ly/4eVKWwL
Testing out a new-to-me (but also technically retro) mini console. Of a sort. I don’t think this will translate into a new career for me, mind. #retrogaming #denshadego
Mickey’s lesser known sibling here, and definitely NOT a copyright violation. Why would you even think that? They look nothing alike.
