Two years ago today, I turned a corner in New York City and saw this. Once the terror subsided, I asked him if I could take a photo. In classic Michael Myers form, he just stood there, so I took that as a yes.

Happy Halloween, everyone! 🎃

A friend once gave me his copy of Ursula K. Le Guin’s The Left Hand of Darkness, which quickly became one of my favourite ever books.

Now, when I come across a used copy of Denis Johnson’s Train Dreams, another one of my favourite books, I buy it and give it to a friend.

I absolutely loved Mean Machines! Good ol' Mean Yob.

Am I right to remember that there were shop adverts at the back? I'm sure it was Mean Machines where I saw an advert for used copies of Sonic 2 and Ecco the Dolphin on Mega Drive. I begged my Mum to call and order. It worked.

I hit that same screen last night at 41 hours. Incredible game.

It's so sad to see them make such a mess of what was once an awesome franchise. I have such good memories of playing the original games with friends, and we've been excited about this.

Nice review. Thanks for sharing. I've always been curious about these rings, especially as I decided I'd never sleep wearing my Apple Watch Ultra, but I could never pull the trigger for some reason. I imagine I'll wait and see if Apple create one, but I'd rock a hand-me-down for sure.

Yeah, it's a tough spot. I always appreciate your honesty with this kind of thing, Kevin, and I wish a lot of things were different in this space.

It's a shame overkill won't be where I'll get my article on how to turn my Switch 2 on when I get it in June, but I know where else to look...

I also saw that in my RSS app this morning, and I almost shared the same screenshot. I understand that there's ad revenue to be earned, but surely there's a better and more respectful way than this.

I love using RSS to get a curated news feed, but I cringe when I see this kind of thing.

Very cool. Happy birthday, Simon!

Cap de Formentor, Mallorca.

I love this island so much – the slower pace of life, the friendly locals, the language, the weather, the light, the sea, the mountains, and the food.

It’s always been a place that recharges me – a place that balances the scales when life gets complicated.

Downloaded and subscribed. I'm really enjoying it so far, and I'm looking forward to seeing what the future presets are.

Oh, wow. Thanks! That's so cool. I was just thinking about playing it again. Perfect timing. I'm looking forward to seeing it with HDR and the new ultra RT preset.

This is quite the nostalgia trip, and the Wave Race 64 soundtrack is brilliant. Despite the slow trickle of songs being added, Nintendo have done a good job with this app. It’s a shame it’s tied to Nintendo Switch Online, but it’s worth checking out if you have a membership.
