I plugged my PS3 in over the weekend and was amazed to find that I didn't need to install anything - games just run from Blu-Ray.
It's like living in the future.

Strangely I've been looking at PS3 games today too.
My PS3 Slim's been stored away for years (apart from being brought out to swap the CMOS battery), but I've got a hankering to hook it back up.
Games are so unbelievably cheap for it...

One thing to note though - USB transfers always seem to show filesystem errors when mounting the Brick in Windows. I've found it's much easier to use the network share instead.
I've also found that it's much quicker to transfer files if you open OD-Commander...

I can understand this to a degree. Saw a bidet for the first time when I was 7 on holiday. Mum and dad couldn't stop laughing after I told them I'd washed my face in "the little sink".

A quick bit of research showed that Flash Gordon was reclassified in 2020 to a 12A - mainly due to the likelihood to offend when viewed through a modern lens.
That's not a 15 though...
It turns out that the bonus disc contains Brian Blessed doing what he does best - using some spicy language!

It was common for movies on TV to be censored for sexual content, strong language or violence. An edit of a couple of seconds can make all the difference.
I almost choked when Michael Keaton dropped the f-bomb in Beetlejuice when I showed it to my son last year. I don't recall ever seeing that.

I've never told anybody before, but one of the reasons I chose to go to the University in Bath was its proximity to Future Publishing. I was hoping to land a job writing for them whilst I studied.
I submitted an article but never heard back. 😭

I still need to finish TNO before starting TBC.
I got to the final encounter, but boss fights aren't my thing. I should suck it up and just get through it.

If you ever manage to acquire the Elite Systems Ltd trademark at the @retrocollective.co.uk, you know what your first merch should be!
Perhaps in the meantime a Mastertronic tracksuit could fill the void?
