The pieces in my jigsaw were never made to fit,
I waste my time pretending I can do it.
I doubt I'll have any free time for gaming unfortunately. 😅

This is an era of NFS that I've not had a lot of experience with - I really need to give it a proper go. I picked up the PS2 versions of both Underground games from CeX a few years back, although I'll probably favour the NTSC versions via OPL when I do get around to playing them.

Grabbed my Space World GBA for a quick test, but I think making a proper start's going to have to wait until after my trip to Scotland.

A soundtrack CD is always a sure-fire way to sell me on a special edition... 😅

Nice! I got myself one for Christmas. 😁

I'd been waiting a very long time for a device, or even just a GBC screen mod, that delivered everything I wanted. Been the perfect excuse to revisit GBC games. 😀

Just delivered by the most cheery and careful Hermes/Evri driver. I always feel my heart sink whenever order tracking says it's being delivered by Evri, but they actually did a good job this time. 😌

Hey TJ. 👋

Have a great Tuesday. 🙂

Was he actually a victim of the Russian mafia?

Gruesome subject matter, but a worthwhile watch for anyone with an interested in true crime, Tetris, or videogame history.

I might have to check this version out now I have a Saturn - if only to compare it to the PSX version!

I really appreciate the super-long stem on the switch for the sync button. 😄

Yay! Working now! 😁

Put some oil on each end of the spindle and gave it a few taps until it started up. After about 30 seconds of running it became a lot stronger and higher pitched as the oil took hold. That saves having to source a replacement motor.

My first time opening up a Wii Remote.

That rumble motor's tiny! 😆 And peeling back the label over the spindle must have taken me a good 10 minutes; so small and fiddly, and it really didn't want to come off!

Hopefully I can get some oil to seep into there.

How far do you have to be hovering over the surface of the track before it can be considered IN SPACE? 😂

Maybe it is a British thing, but everyone just called them "videos" over here. Of course the tapes themselves were also known as "videos", which could lead to some confusion...

I think pretty much any videogame concept can be improved upon by doing an "IN SPACE" version of it! 😄

Morning Sasha. 👋
