Can Two Friends Complete a Game No One Has Ever Finished? (Gift Article)

The Campaign for North Africa, a staggeringly complicated World War II board game, has stymied players for decades. Now two guys in England are giving it a serious go.

The amazing headline that The Onion made the decision not to publish in their 9/11 issue was “America Stronger Than Ever Says Quadragon Officials.”

@impq.bsky.social good ep on the GnR albums. This may sound like an obvious future instalment (as its probably much easier to do) but how about getting a decent single album out of Metallica's "Load" and "Reload"? Like I say, seems straightforward enough but there's certainly lots to talk about.

Without saying your age, what is your favourite movie that came out when you were 20 years old?

Tony @tonymakos.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

I watch this “102 Minutes That Changed America” doc every year. I don’t know what I get from it exactly, apart from a reminder that we all saw something unbelievable happen. It’s an incredibly sobering and affecting thing to sit through, but i find it worth the experience every time.

“…also it will very conveniently enable it to overtake Avatar and become the biggest grossing movie of all time. But that’s beside the point…”

Thread of the week, maybe year. If you haven’t read it already, get this in your sight-holes: it’s fascinating, revelatory and (of course) pretty depressing. You’ll repeatedly nod while reading and say “uh huh” out loud over and over again.

The 5 Simpsons lines I've uttered most off the top of my head: 1. It's doing that thing again 2. Just because I don't care, doesn't mean I don't understand 3. I can't believe you don't shut up 4. Is it about my cube? 5. Mmm, invisible goo

Tony @tonymakos.bsky.social · 24/08/2026

It’s good, but I’d leave before the encore.

@impq.bsky.social all that work putting the playlist together was grand, well done, blah blah etc. but the best bit of today's podcast was easily Steve's isolated bass from Sea of Madness.

Saw a trailer for Trainspotting (30th anniv.) in the cinema tonight that happily showed Kelly Macdonald’s boobs but bleeped the f-words in the “choose life” speech. Who is that for exactly?

Innocent Exile (2015 Remaster)

@impq.bsky.social Dear Points of View, I am writing to correct an error made in IMPQ Episode 72. In the inaugural segment of Tony's Maiden Moments, you assume that Di'anno's scream at the end of Innocent Exile was my adored moment in question. It wasn't. It's the "ooah" noise he makes at about 3:22
