Retro gaming, media analysis and dry wit. Or at least half-wit.
Is this a consequence of the skills changing what you think is cool, or just losing interest?

Like how learning to play guitar makes you dislike Oasis?

Why cancel the whole event rather than rescind the decision?

Your stuff encourages media literacy. I've learned a lot from your "content"

It's not as good a representation of electoral desires

Just looked it up. Backwards long jump up the infinite stairs to bypass needing all those stars.

How do people find this stuff?

I finished Mario 64 about a year back, and had no idea this was a thing

This seems unlikely, but I suppose I can't think of any examples

Q - which is your favourite of the series?

Not even net zero could stop him

Guess I'll add that to the list!

I've found it strange that the world of Zork hasn't had much staying power in the popular consciousness. Apart from Grue's I suppose

I finished the Zork series a little while ago. Then moved on to Return to Zork and was hugely disappointed

Sorry senate not parliament, you know what I mean

Genuine Q - should parliament have just ignored her? She was after the reaction. I assume it was offensive, and it was certainly intended to be. But if it had just been ignored it would have at least sent the message "you can (legitimately) wear a burqa and be an MP, it's not a problem"

Financial security solves problems?? But our society isn't set up for that!
