I used to watch this a lot when I was younger and was obsessed with #Voyager as it was airing in real time. I was made to feel somewhat strange for being a #Trekkie, but thankfully, those influences are gone, and in more recent years, I've drifted back to my love for all things #StarTrek

Getting up this morning for work was a struggle after the #Christmas break. And possibly due to medication. But it could be worse and it could be a job I dislike. So I'm quite lucky in that respect.

Last year, we didn't do a #Christmas special for #PlugInAndPlay - not really - and we may be recording another one in the next few days. But in the meantime, heres the 2024 episode... open.spotify.com/episode/5tEP...

33 years ago today (12/20/92), ‘Streets of Rage 2’ released on the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive. Know as ‘Bare Knuckle II’ in Japan, this side-scrolling beat ‘em up is considered one of the best games in the genre. It also boasts a soundtrack considered to be one of the best ever.

"Monday's child has learned to tie his bootlace," I don't find Monday mornings difficult going to work, but I think physiologically, there's always something that tells you it's a struggle. And not that I particularly dislike Mondays or are they Manic... #ManicMonday #IDontLikeMondays

Just bought Ratchet and Clank for PS4 to replay earlier this week. Will think of him as I do. #JimWard RIP

You will struggle to find a better soundtrack than that of #FinalFantasyVII, and the #FF7R soundtrack is an incredible evolution/adaptation of this. I suppose it must be like what Swifties felt when they first heard Taylors Version

I feel that pain. I had to change my gaming style because of this.

There's a guy in the lane behind my house who ALWAYS beeps his horn three times as he's arriving in the afternoon. Every trip. Without fail. I'm convinced he does it because he once almost hit someone, and it's a dreadful blind spot for a local church.

Having waited over 20 years to actually hear this song, I can't say any song is worth that wait, but delighted to hear new material from Guns N' Roses today #GnFnR #Atlas youtu.be/jmrbPEEi0tk?...

Today, I spent some time at the amazing Games Galaxy in #Consett, which is an INCREDIBLE #retrogaming store in #Durham Amongst my finds today was this incredible #PlanetPlayStationMagazine Massively recommend this shop for #PokemonTCG #StarWars #Warhammer and #retrogaming (and current gen)

Dreams are random. Last night, I had a dream about a former job role, a colleague in my present job, and my uncle. All together interacting in this very scripted and fluid scenario, with me so engrossed that when I awoke, I forgot what was real for a few moments. That I'd been dreaming at all

Today, I played #ResidentEvil3Remake whilst also listening to music from #FF7Remake - specifically running from Nemesis whilst playing Bombing Mission/Let The Battles Begin, and I don't mind telling you it was very well matched!

Seeing #RetroGamer's cover, celebrate '20 Years of #XBox360' definitely made ME feel old... Looking forward to the read though...as always.... @retrogamermag.bsky.social

Be honest. You were expecting a woman in red lingerie, weren't you? That kind of thinking will get you on the naughty list for sure...

A moment of thanks to all those who have supported me this year and made my 2025 such a memorable one. There has been a lot going on, physically and mentally as I turned 40, it's very much appreciated. I do wish at times I'd been stronger. That's on the list for 2026.

In June this year I was humbled to get the chance to represent my employer @hospitalityhope.bsky.social by travelling to the Houses of Parliment in #London & supporting @trusselluk.bsky.social to #GauranteeOurEssentials & this was a truly amazing experience 💚

Not a bad start to the weekend to have my work on the front of NARC Magazine! The artist is #Parastatic and they’re on tour soon - check them out!

Back in February towards the start of 2025 I got the chance to picture a phenomenal North East act, the resulting session helping me produce some of the best work I've ever done. The artist is #Parastatic and these shots were taken in #Newcastle Thank you to them again for an amazing opportunity

When they come to put the #2025Season of my life into the history books 📚 there'll be a lot to say. Seeing #GunsNRoses live again was a big one #GnFnR Travelling to #Paris #NewYork #Birmingham #London #Manchester #Edinburgh and #York to name but several - an eventful year for my 40th to be sure.

I also must say I'm sorta glad he met the end he did @caderainier.bsky.social - no sooner has he met Claire than he's called her "darlin" and "babe" in a matter of seconds. During a Zombie Apocalypse. Whilst he slowly puts the chain on the door - a bit weird he left it off in the first place...

I love that Nintendo Switch is releasing a #VirtualBoy accessory. No fooling, I'm buying it just to display because it reminds me of War of the World's! And because it LOOKS cool, at least...

Continuing the horror theme here, a repost of a Resident Evil 3 drawing from when the remake was on the way. Drew this as a demo for one of my classes. #residentevil #residentevil3 #jillvalentine #nemesis #zombie #capcom

Before I start on the remake of #ResidentEvil3, which is set up and ready to go, I've decided to put some time into another run through the original #FinalFantasyVII - naturally, to me that's a perfect game I know back to front so an enjoyable way to unwind in the evening after work etc.

Wayne Madden @waynemadden.bsky.social · 24/11/2025

Yesterday, I finished #ResidentEvil3, probably for the first time ever. Not the remake, mind, the original. And it was very interesting experience and overall reaffirmed for me that its a classic entry in the series. Sure, not the game RE2 is, but its close!

Wayne Madden @waynemadden.bsky.social · 22/11/2025

I'm beginning to see, finally, that not everyone (in fact, probably not anyone) sees the world as I see it. That makes the world, for me, a lonely and scary place sometimes. It's hard to deal with. But I think that realisation helps me understand something about myself that I didn't know before.

Wayne Madden @waynemadden.bsky.social · 21/11/2025

In the original #ResidentEvil2 I never knew that Ben had a surname #BenBertolucci And I also still never actually found out what the S in Leon's middle name stands for
