The use of a physical prop makes a big difference, I imagine. Isn't it an automatic yellow card for ripping out the corner flag, anyway? He's an idiot, regardless.

Another Comedy Button reunion special to tide the gap? Really sucks for you, Max & anyone else affected by these layoffs. :(

Now show them Tenet. With no subs. And then ask them to recount the plot to you.

Jumping on top of ED209's and stabbing them down through the top of head with a spear. One of my lasting childhood memories.

When there's a scooter (or e-bike) related death, people are up in arms. "Ban them! More hi-vis, mandatory helmets!" etc. When it's vehicle-related it's like "there's nothing that can be done, it's just a tragedy". Except maybe more hi-vis for the people being killed, of course.

Thought it was MASSIVELY improved over the 2nd overall. Things actually happen! Juliette has scenes in more than one location!

I'd go even further and just not let anyone in who's late over a certain amount of time. 5-10min grace period, tough shit after that. It's particularly annoying for seated gigs or comedy shows. It's annoying & distracting for everyone.

It's good, but I found it tough to visualize what was being described at times. It's very dense in it's descriptions of alien-type stuff.

The double space makes it look like you took a pause to throw up in your mouth before calling him a "writer", so it kinda works.

He was EXCEPTIONALLY well-known in Ireland, because of a clip on RTE 20 years ago where a half-drunk pundit went on a rant about his comments on Roy Keane. (First 45sec of the very LQ clip). Dunphy was fired form RTE after this lol www.youtube.com/watch?v=EqjQ...

About bloody time! Finally catching up to Dublin, but the entire country still way behind in general. Contactless next, but it looks like we'll be waiting years for that, again.

These Leprachaun guys are a scourge and completely taking the piss. They hog the spot all day long, blasting their awful music through the speakers while pretending to play the spoons. They don't seem to have any particular "talent". They're usally half-drunk as well.

While not my FAV, my mind always goes to TOCA on the PS1 when I think of Codemasters. I remember being blown away at the CPU cars avoiding crashes in front of them, at a time when other racers would have their CPU just plough straight through. Ahead of its time, TOCA.

For sure, the personality-driven aspect of the mag was why most loved it!

Heartbreaking. I still hold out hope that Nintendo will one day give us a proper translated port of the GBA game.

N64 Mother 3, still gathering pace 29 years later. :(

chalkitdown @chalkitdown.bsky.social · 23/06/2026
I had a read through of issue 1 of N64 Mag today to celebrate. Boy, you were really hopeful that the RPG's were indeed coming. lol Also, it's striking how many games previewed in that 1st issue never actually released.

We didn't get it until March 97 here in Europe :( , but I still remember the day my big brother arrived home with it, Mario 64 & Turok. We only had the one tv and my mother wouldn't let us use it, so off we went to take over my Nan's house. Of course I wasn't allowed to play it at all that day. lol

Any update regarding the new leap card tap machines to speed up boarding? Or is it more delays delays delays. Feels like it's been a year since they said it was "imminent".

They've been using it in the Premier League for the last year, though it's been chest/body cam, rather than this new head-cam thingy.

Give it a go on the smaller handheld, see how you get on. I don't know if I could ever go back to the N64 version. Pausing all the time to change between those damn iron and feather boots is just a massive pain in the hole.

I played the 3DS version on an LL with the circle pad pro attachment, even though the game isn't compatible. Was just way more comfortable to play for a prolonged time.

chalkitdown @chalkitdown.bsky.social · 10/06/2026
I'd go for the 3DS version purely for the QoL features, but ONLY if played on an XL machine. The original, small 3DS screen just doesn't do it justice.
