I used to work for their extended warranty support line. It was my first full time IT job and nearly broke me. Up side, I got to do telephone support for @timmymallett.bsky.social which was a high point. He was absolutely lovely. -Ash

The godfather of giant mecha in Sentai! Designed Leopardon for Toei's Spider-Man (y'know, the mech with a cats anus for a mouth), the popularity of which lead to Toei including giant Mecha's in their Sentai series moving forward.

A note/reminder: I'm still 'On Leave' from Twitch, and will unlikely return before September. I want to make sure all remaining content aspects of UCP are done and dusted before burning energy elsewhere. Thanks to those of you who've reached out or messaged to check in, it is appreciated. ♥ -Ash

Just finished work for the day (yay for early finishes) but before I get home, off to do some shopping and listening to @underconsolepod.bsky.social and @theamazingcliff.bsky.social talk Star Trek 2: The Wrath of Khan, live long and prosper 🙂 open.spotify.com/episode/0B6L...
Everyone who uses "smart glasses" to be legally required to strap one of these to their head and light it up when the camera is on
Next weeks Summer Special (where I make Cliff watch the Wrath of Khan), may be one of our sweariest episodes. 24 fucks and 13 shits, going by the bleeping process.

This is *technically* speaking not true. both Caravan of Courage and Battle for Endor received a limited overseas theatrical release in the 1980s. So Domestic/Designed for theatres? Sure. Worldwide? Not even close. The Ewok movies honked at the box office.

Lots of folks discovering via the new adaptation of Ghost in the Shell that the series creator Shirow Masamune is horny on main. Some of us are old and crusty enough to have learned this back with Dominion and the antics of the Puma Twins. 😂
There are so many reasons to love Mystery Wrestling. A flawless Monty Python and the Holy Grail reference is definitely one of them.

Tonight’s UCN was live from a pub with a local beer and a delightful surround. Thanks to all who dropped in including Chrissy ‘Two Sticks’ Dinh who popped by for a pint. Patreons can watch the vid now, audio will drop Thursday. Cheers to the William Morris Pub and their incredibly robust WiFi!
I look forward to the after market bricks that allow you to accurately fill the office with Mulders porn collection. -Ash
Matt Gardner | GameTripper@gametripperuk.bsky.social · 2w agoI've not been able to tell anyone this until today, but I interviewed Gillian Anderson a few weeks ago about the LEGO X-Files set and I think it's a real highlight of my life
Tomorrow’s solo UCN will live from a pub. Had to stop by today to do a tech test of course. 👀 Patreons! Get your questions in now! -Ash www.patreon.com/posts/163683...
Dunno what I’ll do for entertainment after the World Cup is over. Solve the Lament Configuration, see how Pinhead and Co. measure up to our lads.

There are lots of things you could watch tonight. One of those things could be bears trying to catch Salmon on a webcam. www.youtube.com/live/J7ZrIDv...

As we get closer to the end, on this month's UCN, it's your chance to ask Cliff about his time on the show. From being asked to join, to having to fill Luke's shoes, to trying to stamp his style on to the show, with varying levels of success. www.patreon.com/posts/160703...

“What about the soul of the device? What does it allow you to do? Who does it help you to be?” ‘The soul of the device’? Good gravy.

Checking my phone for a new C= announcement so it can push yesterday’s one out of my brain.

The new Commodore 'Callback' phone genuinely perplexes me. It's a device that's expensive enough they have to massage the price comparison charts to come out ahead (automatic deduction of a $50 signup bonus and add $40 headset), and hangs its hat on the 'we'll charge you more to be able to do less'.
I have *zero* memory of Spinjas but seeing Space Attack caused a frankly obscene noise to be uttered. I remembered having this as a kid and that metal top could not only get to some serious speed but it could do some damage if you got carried away and it flew out of the playing field.
TJ @ The Variety Show Podcast@thevarietyshow.channel84.co.uk · 2mo agoBefore Beyblade, there was THIS. We put a forgotten 1989 Tomy Spinjas set up against a bizarre British toy from 1983 called Space Attack... and somehow the broken one ended up being more fun. Peak 80s toy chaos. 🚀🎮 youtu.be/bPtghB7CMsI #RetroToys #80sToys #Nostalgia
Nice to see FIFA found a use for all those left over UniSol parts…
This really feels like the footballing equivalent of ‘Let the Wookie win.’
