Aspiring physicist, Trekkie, ZX Spectrum aficionado. Knows a lot less than he lets on.
Surprisingly, I never even heard of the game Rogue until relatively recently, when the name was being thrown a lot. I did know of Nethack though, and have been playing it on and off for many years now. I even discovered that Mastertronic released a version of it on the Speccy in 1989.
Happy Friday everyone! Fancy a brand new #ZXSpectrum game to get your teeth into this weekend?

Well let me help you out: welcome to Castle Rooj!

Roojliek is a classic ASCII rogue-like for the 48K ZX Spectrum, can you survive long enough to escape?

I just arrived at HIP 87621 tonight and, after what seemed like an eternity travelling by SRV, I finally found what I was looking for, I think. #EliteDangerous

I suspect this means we won't be seeing The Secret World 2 any time soon...

It's coming up on 12 years since we lost Benjamin Curtis. He was far too young. Fuck cancer!
Just spent the last half an hour or so watching School Of Seven Bells videos on YouTube. They were such an amazing band, and easily my favourite of the 21st century so far. It's still sad that they're no longer around. www.youtube.com/watch?v=1An2...

I did it! After weeks upon weeks of trying, I finally managed to collect enough gold to buy the oyhr gragf in Blue Prince. This will apparently help me greatly in solving some of the very tricky late game puzzles.

My latest weird dream. I was writing a novel about a haunted cove somewhere in County Waterford, inspired by the works of Daphne Du Maurier. I had decided to name the main character Sadhbh Geoghegan purely to see how non-Irish readers would butcher the pronunciation. 😜

My biro 🖊️ drawing of Alduin from Skyrim.

Drawn in 2017 on white A4 (8"x12") paper. The dark background areas were drawn in sharpie.

I used to draw in biro all the time, when I was a nipper, it's an underrated tool!

RIP Lee Tamahori. Aside from making the mostly poor Die Another Day, he also directed the brilliant but harrowing Once Were Warriors, probably the best film about the Maori in New Zealand ever made. www.rte.ie/entertainmen...

Amanda The Adventurer 3 is being released on Steam later today. I can't wait to play it as I loved the first two games. The story revolves around a seriously unnerving fictional children's show from the 90s, and the mystery behind it's creation. store.steampowered.com/app/3657210/...
Amanda the Adventurer 3 on Steam
In the thrilling conclusion of the Amanda the Adventurer trilogy, follow Riley as they uncover the ultimate secrets behind Amanda, Hameln, and mysteries that have plagued Kensdale for decades.

I have to say I love the clearly Star Trek inspired look of the new ship coming to Elite Dangerous soon, the Caspian Explorer.

Well done to everyone who succeeded in getting tickets for @marillion.com in Pompeii. Hope you all have a wonderful time there. I sadly wasn't able to afford it so I didn't even try. Hopefully they will wait a few weeks before they announce a 2nd night, so I will be in a position to buy one.
