They invited me back so I put Sam's tolerance for Ghostbusters to the test by making him play a bunch of old games and then listen to me prattle on about them endlessly for hours.

Had a lot of fun at yesterday's unveiling of the DOOM "Slayeux Tapestry" at the Royal Armouries. Loads of hard work went into it and the response from all the community folks that turned up was electric.
Didn't expect to be patting sweat off a 7ft4 "Dutch Giant" but I wasn't going to tell him no.
