@warmovietheatre.com After just finishing another rewatch of The Eagle Has Landed I’ve moved to a first watch for me of one which shares themes, and obviously inspired by the former. Didn’t know of its existence until you featured it!

Graphic designer, retrogamer, music and film fan. All-round nerd, really.
I listen to many different podcasts, many of which I dip in and out of, but one which I always listen to is @warmovietheatre.com - it’s an absolute belter for anyone like me that grew up watching war films. They’re not afraid to pull some of them apart either!
@psbhq.bsky.social Just wanted to say how much I enjoy and appreciate your newsletters. Personally constructed, well-written, lacking AI use, and informative with lots of goodies. There are very few newsletters I’ll read all of, yours are a rare exception. Also, love the new merch!
Thanks @freeze64.bsky.social for the new issue! The Beeb is my platform of choice for Chuckie Egg (sorry!), but I have a real soft spot for Road Runner.
Decided to spend my filled-up loyalty card from my local indie bookshop on this from @jamesgwriter.bsky.social and @ofmooseandmen.bsky.social. Confidence in my choice is high!
Thank you @freeze64.bsky.social for the latest issue. Excited to read the interview with John Palmer - artist on three of my favourite C64 games!
In ‘The Other Side’ by @psbhq.bsky.social the period of quiet after LOS and the slow lead up to AOS with its triumphant return to bombast is musical brilliance. Roll on Ally Pally (my brother will be wearing +1 socks, and I, a natty +1 t-shirt).
Thanks for the new issue @freeze64.bsky.social - my experience of Predator was limited to the ST as a kid, but perhaps it’s time I tried the C64 version!
@ronanhession.bsky.social Unasked for music recommendation, but I saw Clémentine March in a support slot last night and was very impressed, and thought she may be someone you'd like. clementinemarch.bandcamp.com/album/powder...
Powder Keg, by Clémentine March

@psbhq.bsky.social Representing at The Crucible. When are we getting that full-length snooker-based album so many must be clamouring for?
Thanks for the new issue @freeze64.bsky.social ! Looking forward to reading about a game from a favourite publisher of mine!
The eBook of Castle is only 99p right now. Repost this for a chance to win a signed copy of the original hardback edition. www.kobo.com/gb/en/ebook/...
Thanks @psbhq.bsky.social for being eternal ear-lightness in a depressingly dark (at times) world. My spirits are always lifted when I hit play. Makes me want to roller skate, though at 49 with a bad back I'll stick to imagining it. And I'm not sure the one-piece lycra would suit me either.
@profaliceroberts.bsky.social Bit of a random one, but since we now won’t see them again (sad times!) where did you get your amazing jeans you’re wearing in Digging For Britain, please?! The black ones with two zips on the front on one side, one on the other!

Reminder that I'll be at @yorklitfest.bsky.social on 14th March at 6.30pm. I'll be interviewed by the hugely talented writer @colettesnowden.bsky.social (who also has an event at 2pm the same day – go to that too.) Do come!

@psbhq.bsky.social How excited is it permissible to be as a fully-formed grown-up at the purchase of two tickets to Ally Pally? Asking for a friend.
NEW VIDEO! What can be cooler than celebrating an iconic game's milestone than a NEW conversion of it to an unlikely place? Well Atari did JUST THAT with this new take on Tiger-Heli for the #Atari 7800, which I dive into and get blasting like it's 1985! www.youtube.com/watch?v=HgU1...

@cexofficial.bsky.social Poor customer service from your Stoke branch. Bought a streaming stick, found out when used that I was given the wrong remote. Trekked back to store in the rain, got correct remote, but manager unwilling to give me even the smallest of discounts for the massive inconvenience
As well as writing some of my favourite books of all time, @ronanhession.bsky.social recommended Christ on a Bike by @orlaowenwriting.bsky.social - it was a belter of a recommendation. Proper old-school playground scrap between that and Ghost Mountain for my favourite read of the year.
@psbhq.bsky.social is there a rough runtime for the matinee at The Barbican, perchance? Making exciting plans to see you with the unexciting realisation that punitive and complex rail fares mean I have to plan in a little more detail! Thanks!
@marcmorris.bsky.social Will you be doing a castles tour of Wales to mark the occasion of my 50th birthday in 2027?
A more unusual game from times past. If you like your whodunnits have a watch and see if it’s one you’d like to try!
NEW VIDEO! Artech's Killed Until Dead does something unheard of for a murder mystery: trying to be a stop-the-who'll-do-it, instead of a whodunnit. This look is mostly focused on the #C64 original, with a little compare to the #AppleII and #ZXSpectrum conversions. www.youtube.com/watch?v=v-sq...
I just finished Ghost Mountain by @ronanhession.bsky.social - another triumph. I read it on holiday. Which is different to saying it’s holiday reading. It’s a thoughtful, beautiful book, and will stay with me a long, long time. Thank you, Rónán, and thank you @ofmooseandmen.bsky.social
Thanks for the new issue, @freeze64.bsky.social! I had a bit of a soft spot for Ninja Master as a kid (see Jaz’s CcrapBack!) so honouring it with this picture!
Having waited patiently for the paperback from @ronanhession.bsky.social I started last night, and I’m going in again! Also, after months (nay years) of telling my other half she should read Leonard and Hungry Paul, someone else in her book club chose it. They all unanimously loved it (obviously)
