Finally did some toy photography with a background setup for the first time in ages. "A break in the weather"

The same toy as previously pictured, now transformed into a humanoid mech, wielding two swords and placed against a background that suggests it is emerging from rainclouds

Does the Spectravideo Compumate count? I used it to learn BASIC but my first "proper" home computer was an Apple 2 clone, they were plentiful in Singapore in the '80s

This cropped up in Selaco and reminded me I need to watch more of your videos!

Playing '80s space games on their original hardware carried the suggestion that, at the time, *you* were playing on a sci-fi device. The ubiquity of modern computing takes that away, but it's nice to get a sense of atmosphere from the UI. I liked it when they pretended to be holograms!

I enjoyed Robert Eggers' Nosferatu in the same way that I enjoyed the Castlevania series of videogames. Images that define a genre, cultivated and sharply presented so that tropes appear at home in their new environment, for the maximum impact they can deliver there.

Give me a single screenshot from a video game that immediately makes you hear the soundtrack in your head.

A friend has suggested that the game is portraying Lazenby as Bond

Playing the James Bond 007 Gameboy game and for a game from 1997 I'm surprised at how faithful it is to classic Bond movie movie representations of race. This is China.

Platform games are about the joys and aesthetic of movement. For this reason I'd rather play Grapple Dogs: Cosmic Canines than Astrobot. And I had a great time with Astrobot.

For all the accents and voice performances, you can really tell that no one from Britain worked on this script
