Maybe that's why he's always complaining about people working from home, because his personal work-from-home device completely bombed and people are working from home without it.

I think a game like Thanatos would normally have more votes, but Durell had some strong entries that have probably bumped it out of some people's top 3 (mine certainly).

Re: The Horace Collection | Kickstarter

Yeah, despite the cool on-tape printing and box art, personally for collection purposes I'd personally prefer owning the original tapes (they're not exactly hard to get). The pin badges look cool, and you can never have enough Speccy-themed mugs :dance. Mind you, I'd probably expect to find this sor...

Re: Spectrum memes

That Wonka Experience feels pretty much like I felt after going to Cadbury World with my kids in about 2010. Okay, it's nowhere near as bad as that, but it's probably the most disappointing day out I've ever had. I/we had been wanting to go for years and I wasn't expecting Willy Wonka's Chocolate F...

I loved Finders Keepers, but found Spellbound a bit too hard. Just kept dying of lethargy, hunger, or something else.

Never played Fourth Protocol, feel like I should read the book first.

Has anyone made a 'definitely not Bonkers' joke yet?
