In terms of video games, my favourite is still “Half Life 2: Episode 2”. Boy was that gut-wrenching.

One of my favourite endings is to Atypical. The transition into the credits and credits music was spot on. What was NOT spot on was Netflix’s “HEY LOOK AT THIS SHOW THAT WE’RE GONNA AUTOPLAY”, where the back button exits the currently-played show. Nothing rips you out of the moment quite like that.

We play a similar game in England, but it’s “how long can we put up with blankets and cups of tea before turning the central heating on”

Yep! Nothing more than a glorified photocopier.

I’m holding onto my 13 Mini for dear life at this point, and even that I find to be too big! I think Apple hit the nail on the head with their iPhone 5 advert.

As someone with >200 CDs and a badly-aging discman, this sounds very promising!

100%! Like when BT went all digital… like having to replace my working telephone because our landlines have gone digital.
On a side note, I still find it kinda funny that I have more success picking up FM stations at home than DAB+. That’s the fun of living in an old Victorian terrace!

As someone who grew up in the ‘90s, I knew Motorola as a mobile phone company (later making radio chips). It’s really cool to see what they were making in a past life.

I’m genuinely concerned for when FM gets shut down in the UK. So many of our radio stations push for Internet streaming through their respective apps over tuning into FM/DAB(+) transmissions, I’m sure we’ll start getting algorithmic complacency there, too.
