1990 WAS ONE MILLION YEARS AGO
“Today on Computers Today…”
A 43-year-old man playing Castle of Illusion and getting excited about the edge balance animation.
Another “GigerPunk” submission. He didn’t write any accompanying text, because he’s a bit busy ironing our underpants and putting the dinner on.

It’s hardly my fault if you don’t allow me writing implements anymore. Anyone else in the same situation would’ve tried writing “Help me, I’m in the basement” in your gussets too.

Am I the only one annoyed that the video cuts before the nice man from N.E.C. gets to show the turbografx 16 off?

OH OH look at the emotions on his face!!

I was wondering about the NEC bit too. Did he get do show anything? or was it one of those ‘that’s all we have time for’ awkward moments. WE NEED TO BE TOLD

“…she says ‘Michael’ and it’s a real human voice!”
Love this. But what I like most is that one day the current hipsters of the videogame scene – people like Cliff ‘Cliffy B’ Bleszinsayawhatsisname – will one day look as faded as the porky gent with the specs.

I’m so impressed by Al’s ability to play games while talking to people without looking like he wants to punch them in the face for interrupting him, or using a voice drained of all emotion suggesting he could care less if they lived or died. If only I could master that skill I might just be able to save my current ‘relationship’.

They would have orgasmed and died if someone had shown them Aladdin.

One day, AbusedDog?
This photo was taken in 2009…
Maybe this could be (yet another) new blog idea, Zorg?
Cataloguing how different games industry execs have aged over the years? J Allard’s radical change of looks has been well covered already, but may be interesting to see what shattered husks some people have been turned into by the games industry?

Well spoken high salary men in suits talking games in an universe full of silent, yet powerful, testosterone. No stupid youth with stupid hair and stupid shirts with stupid coulours and stupid sentences, no female creature in sight because they were still employed at their natural tasks.
The golden rule that children and women must stay silent when the Man (or the dog) talks was still respected back then…
Thanks GigerPunk.

Zorg’s gone from being a grown man holding up some chaos emeralds with a “Yeah bitch, check out my chaos emeralds” expression to wearing a nice tweed jacket and looking like a sensible grown up. Seems like a massive improvement to me.
Conclusion: The sooner we all give up games, the better we will all be for it.

I gave up games about 7 years ago after 3 years of wondering why they had all gone shit, not realising the problem was I wasn’t a child any more (despite the evidence to the contrary in all other areas of my life). I just hang around gaming websites like a spirit that hasn’t found resolution.
I am going to get Super Meat Boy for PC though. Never did get a Wii.

The day after that chaos emerald photo was taken I got mugged in the park. They didn’t get the chaos emeralds, though!
Also, the only game I’ve paid for this year is Scramble Touch, which cost £1.99, and is a word search thing for a mobile phone.
I might buy one of those new Xbox 360s to help get through the winter, though. Will be nice to see how my Geometry Wars 2 scores have held up over the last 18 months.
This is my new official 2010 PR photograph, taken this week and pictured holding the year’s best vegetable (so far):

That’s not my sewing machine.

(Sorry, I’m confused now – which one of us is supposed to be the one chained to radiator downstairs? And what was the ‘safe’ word again?)
That be some fine brassica you have there though, you wild man of Borneo, you.

You’ve played a lot of Terrier Games’ releases though.
Although on second thoughts that’s probably not a GOOD thing…
On that note, I do have a new game out. It’s ideal if you want to play a game you’ll never concievably complete. Just like old times! ^_^
Oh, and congratulations on the rebirth of Idiot Toys!

“Michael here is trying to save these kids that have been kidnapped”
Christ that really is dated.

@GigerPunk: fair point and photo about Stiffy B or whatever the over-reaching bastard’s name is. But I must urge you never again to post an early photo of Zorg because it nearly broked my internet which seized up an’ that. Had to go into the CTRL/ALT/DEL stop program gubbins.
