Happy 100th birthday to Sir David Attenborough. Had the pleasure of presenting him with an Outstanding Contribution to Technology award many moons ago at T3, got to witness him filming first-hand at Kew Gardens, and stole an interview in the back of his golf cart. A legend then and now

@samuelwroberts.bsky.social Just catching up on your Bully episode, really good, very fond memories of that game. But random memory based on your “why are year 7s & year 11s in the same school” point. I grew up in Harrow & year 7 was in primary school. We started high school in year 8. No idea why

This Peanuts / Alien strip is pretty cool, and also a good demonstration of the slightly surprising story breaks in a great monster movie. Usually your beast only reveals itself properly halfway through. Look:

It really is, has a hypnotic atmosphere. Thoroughly recommend for anyone into close-to-home weirdness

“This podcast is brilliant. Genuinely chilling… making my blood thick with cold…” — Sarah Phelps The weekend is here, and what better time to catch up with developments in our strange corridor of the Essex countryside? #BrokenVeil pod.link/1745494718

Mainlining old Bullseyes on Challenge at my dad’s. Not seen the first series before, amazing how much of the running time is taken up explaining the concept. “A clock for every room”? Oh go on then Jim

If this was a band I'd seen photos of in NME/Smash Hits when I was 14, I would have gone out and bought/stole their records the very next day without having to hear a single note.

A Complete Unknown was great. Chalamet, Norton and Barbaro very good indeed, strong support. Bit low on characterisation - you won’t learn anything new anybody - but as an evocative barnstormer that has you singing as you leave it was bang on. Woman next to me was beside herself with admiration

League Two is a monster league to follow, Bromley doing well amidst the “anyone can beat anyone” chaos. In last match week, top 2 lost, only 2 of the top 12 won, but 6 of the bottom 12 did. Meanwhile, 4 points separates 2nd and 8th. Playoffs promising to be tasty

I really need to get better at finding pleasure in being alive and simply existing, rather than constantly thinking "If I can just get through this ordeal..." and "If I can just get past that deadline..." Then what? The next ordeal or deadline, and repeat, until death?

Post your first RPG? Hard to believe now but this was epic. Though all hail the NES’s ever-comical disconnect between game covers and gameplay

Post your first RPG Not usually one for these quote tweet prompts, but since mine is sort of a SEGA deep cut that I’d be interested to know if anyone else played…

I was on a train once when there was a red sky and a bloke said to his mate "You know what they say. Shepherd's night, shepherd's delight. Shepherd's morning, shepherd's warning" You know. What they say.

The Indiana Jones game being good is the best news, a classic Christmas playthrough beckons. It’s now sat there pre-downloaded winking at me. PS I loved this review, so well written in giving you all you’d want and spoiling nothing www.eurogamer.net/indiana-jone...

eurogamer.netIndiana Jones and the Great Circle review - the best Indy's been since The Last CrusadeSmart, fun and so very Indiana Jones, The Great Circle is a stealth action tour de force that marks a bold new era for MachineGames.

Fully recommend changing your phone home screen to Tinted in a colour of your choosing and getting rid of all the apps’ default colours. Looks pleasing and less like a casino, and definitely reduces distraction and increases purposeful use

This is on YouTube and is fantastic. Set me off on a right old British 70s horror / Play for Today quest. Currently on Penda’s Fen, next up Dead of Night: The Exorcism, compiling my next moves, any more recommendations?

Now watching: ‘Tarry-Dan Tarry-Dan Scarey Old Spooky Man’, dir. John Reardon, 1978. Will my appetite for creepy stories in Retro Grainyvision™ ever be sated? This one is set in Cornwall which gives it an interesting flavour. 🎥🎬
