I've been watching old kids TV with the kids today.
All the shite we watched in the 80s and 90s is even more shite than you can remember. Your nostalgia is wrong. It's fucking awful.
Bagpuss is superb. Professor Yaffle is my vibe now.

This behind the scenes shot of the making of "LEGO Island" (1997) is making me feel all sorts of things...

And now for something completely different! I've drawn a character from my 6-year-old's favourite book series (and frankly, my new favourite book series), Grimwood by @nadiashireen.bsky.social.
It's Princess Buttons, the evil, greedy, greasy cat, sporting the latest headwear, the Brain Zapper 3000!

A whole new Mario game or a Super Mario All-Star pack in the style of the official Mario artwork is the one thing I most want to see out of Nintendo now.

2026 is going to be a backlog clearance year. No buying myself new games!
I am going to need your help though. I did this back on Twitter during Covid lockdown. You are my support network! You in?

OK, Sonic CD is beaten - bad ending! Now I have to beat Sonic R, then it's a clear run to unlock everything else on Sonic Gems Collection.

The Lord of The Rings movies were rated PG-13. By current rules that means that each film could contain one use of the word "Fuck". Which line are you altering to insert the most useful swear word?

It's hard to say anything new about a console as huge, influential and well-docunented as the NES. A lot of video essayists say as much.

Merry Christmas! If you'd like to spend 45 minutes celebrating video game history with me, we're about to debut The Untold Story of the Nintendo Entertainment System. I worked on his ALL YEAR, and I genuinely think it will reshape how we all think about the system. www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJvp...

The death rate in 1843 should have been much higher, but Tiny Tim who did NOT die, was an outlier and shouldn't have been counted.
