I think this may be the worst thing I have ever watched (and I watch a lot of shit). Singing "One More Time For Retro Gaming". I'd rather flay my balls and stick them in hydrochloric acid.... www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYf7...

The two space games that first caught my imagination were early Star Trek games, usually written in BASIC with simple graphics and text-based navigation. And of course Star Raiders on the Atari 8-bits, similar premise but with exciting 3D shoot-em-up action and a starfield that worked really well.

Bluesky is not an ‘On the Buses bubble’. It’s just one the increasingly few public spaces where fans of Don’t Drink the Water get called out, and if that makes you uncomfortable, you need to think about that.

I know our loyal fans might be surprised that we've released a haemorrhoid cream instead of the computer that was going to revolutionise the world. I was sitting at home and realised I had a strange itching sensation, I instantly knew what all our customers now needed, because I needed it.
