Delighted for that lad. What a first half from the Arsenal.

Game of the week! I definitely forgot to do it last week so it's a double helping. First up Virtua Fighter 10th Anniversary, released only in Japan for the PS2! Secondly, PES 6 with its ridiculously overpowered Adriano. It it is still so, so good. #retrogames #playstation

Game Of The Week is Mass Destruction on the Sega Saturn. Very fun tank based shooter, I remember thinking the explosions looked amazing back when I first played this in 1997. Did I choose this as the title sums up how my body feels after a weekend stag do in Dublin? Perhaps. #sega #segasaturn #retro

It's Game Of The Week time! This week it's Tails Sky Patrol for the Game Gear, one that I picked up on my recent Japan trip. It came out in 1995 and was only released in Japan! #sega #retrogaming #gameoftheweek

I have rearranged my living room so this little display is no longer visible when I'm on a call so now you, the Internet, will be subjected to it. Game of the Week from my mega collection is the Japanese edition of Yoshi's Story (N64) Released in 1997, the box art is gorgeous

Monday was the 30th Anniversary of the launch of the PlayStation 1 in the UK and it was also the day my gorgeous 30th Anniversary console & Portal arrived. I love them. I love them so much. #30thanniversary #playstation

I am in Japan! It is wonderful! Have so far been to Osaka and Kyoto, now staying at Lake Yamanakako not far from Mount Fuji. I have taken way, way too many photos but here are a few favourites from the first 5 or so days.

Gotta go fast

I think I purchased the hoodie and tshirt within about a minute of receiving the email

This arrived last week and I spent my lunchtime having a read. Short and sweet but some decent background to Alien: Romulus.

Oh it's kicking off in here now is it? I'd best get all my hilarious jokes and excellent opinions ready.

Oh yeah this is a thing isn't it? Threads or Blue Sky? What a dilemma.

*puts away phone to play Hollow Knight again*

A couple more titles for my growing retro footie collection. ISS Pro Evo was an absolute banger. And FIFA 2002...has a lovely photo of Thierry Henry on it ☺️

This is on top of also recently beginning my third play of Hollow Knight. I have no time for your fancy new games.

A million games in the backlog and I am starting another play through of Alien Isolation. No regrets.

In preparation for some hopefully Spring-like weather this week, I have filled my Xbox Fridge with Capri-Sun.

Well, there it is then, one full season of not getting a single Arsenal ticket through the ballot system. Shambles.

Silver linings - firstly, 3-2 is better than 10-2. We are getting better guys. Secondly, Spurs ain't getting a Champions League spot now. Bellends.

Somehow, my power continues to grow.

Congrats! Excited to see what you come up with next

The last four times I have watched Arsenal while I was abroad, we have lost. I'm in Ireland. I'm watching Arsenal. I think we know what happens next. Because I am somehow the most powerful being in the universe.

At bottling it in title races? Yeah I'm not sure why I get hopeful really.

Drinking hot chocolate in bed to try and cheer myself up following the dire Arsenal performance.

Polymega turned up today! Very sad I am off to Brighton first thing in the morning to run a dumb marathon instead of spending the weekend on this.

I have not been on here for a while! But going to make a concerted effort to reacquaint myself with social media following Twitter's imploding. Get ready for...pictures of my cat? Wait that is for Instagram. Erm. Let me get back to you.

Finished Demon Souls on Friday and I found it...easy? Am I good at these damn games now? Or is the remake weirdly easy?

That could be the secret. Make your game sound like it is from the 70's. You could be on to something there!

Alien Isolation does an amazing job at this I feel

I am in Tallinn for work, having a very chill Sunday of running along the Baltic and sipping a pint or two in the first Estonian pub.
