I've been wanting watch Columbo for the longest time, so I've finally decided to take the plunge. I watched the 1968 and 1971 pilots over the last two nights (they were good but not great) and will be starting on the series proper shortly. I'm looking forward to this.

@richardcobbett.bsky.social I just met Finn Walker, and was immediately reminded of Jack Boone from TSW. I assume there was some inspiration there. 😎

Subject to change, regularly. In fact, they probably already have. (I tried to get The Lords of Midnight and Resident Evil 2 in there too, but I was not happy with the images it chose.) My 9 Games #My9Games my9games.com/en/s/36342db...

Okay. This is the story and the story goes: a crow sat on the rotten shoulder of a pendulum cadaver, swinging on the gallows noose. "Oh, bother," said the pendulum cadaver. The crow gave his face sharp kisses. Mmm," said the crow. "Ouch! Hey! What are you doing?," said the pendulum cadaver. "I'm just curing your unhappiness by changing your perspective," said the crow. "All I want in return is sweet jelly."

The only thing a broken neck can do is nod, so the crow ate all of the sweet jelly out of the swinging stiff's skull windows. The wind blew. The pendulum cadaver swayed, and eventually, rigor mortis turned his frown upside-down.  "That a boy," said the crow. "Just remember, where you hand your head is home."

These just arrived this morning. I never owned any Pikmin games back then, even though an employee in a toy shop i used to visit regularly to buy GameCube games (long since closed) recommended them as being really good.

That does look nice. If you haven't already played it, check out Legend of Grimrock. It's the best looking modern Dungeon Master clone I've seen and it's just as much fun (not to mention just as infuriating) as the original was.

My defining game is Jet Set Willy. That should be obvious since my online username is taken directly from the game.

Nomen Luni @nomenluni.ie · 23/09/2026
It's probably as obvious as the sun in the sky but mine is Jet Set Willy. It wasn't the first game I ever played (that would be Pong), and I played many more games before it, but it had such an effect on me since I first played it that it's remained one of my favourite games of all time since then.

Yippee! I finally unlocked Becca's redhead rant. That was fun. *silently walks away, not wanting to antagonise her further* 🤪 @richardcobbett.bsky.social
Never, ever call Becca Glade 'Red'. Your life depends on it.

The Longest Journey will always be mine. It's such a wonderful and brilliantly written story for start to finish, with so many memorable characters, and my favourite female game protagonists of all time in April Ryan.
April Ryan visits the map merchant in Marcuria City.

"Fair enough, miss, but don't expect me to come running to your aid if you ever get lost in Riverwood. Without my maps, you'll probably end up a Mole's dinner...or worse. Maps!"

Let's not forget the disastrous (and not so disastrous -- I'm looking at you Lilith, I mean Lanel) outcome of Riker going undercover in First Contact (the episode, not the film).
Lanel (Bebe Neuwirth) wants to explore her own form of First Contact with Riker. (TNG 4x15)

What is your favourite and least favourite episode of Star Trek TOS? No judgement here. My favourite is "Amok Time" My least favourite is "The Omega Glory"
In one of the most awesome and wonderful moments of TOS, Spock is so overjoyed to see that Kirk is alive, that he forgets how to be a Vulcan.

"JIM!!!"

But did you know... The aliens from V are, thanks to some as of yet unexplained time travel shenanigans, directly descended from the salamander babies Paris and Janeway left behind on the planet. It makes sense, especially as Tom's father looks just like the visitor John. His DNA survived, somehow.

I updated the page for you. It now says BlueSky instead of Twitter. Let me know if you want to change it further.

The Antikythera mechanism is regarded as the world's oldest computer. It's stored in a secure facility for two specific reasons.

1. To preserve the artifact and prevent further corrosion.
2. To keep you fucking nerds from trying to run DOOM on it.

This week has been all about Nintendo consoles. I just set up my Wii with a brand new HDMI adaptor I just bought and it still works wonderfully. I decided to ease myself back into it by playing Wii Sports. I'd forgotten how much fun golf is.
