I've always found it slightly strange that promo copies of games, which are rarer than the retail release, often command a much lower price. Whereas in music, the opposite would be true. I guess for retro collectors it's all about having that box and spine to be able to display on a bookcase/cabinet shelf over and above it's rarity. So its valuable, but unlikely to be as much as a normal copy. As always demand over supply dictates the price.

I watched the first episode when it came out, and wasn't feeling it.I'm sure it's great though and will try it again. Sometimes you have to be in the right mood for a new series.

Shenmue 2 didn't come out on Dreamcast in America.

He's back!

This is on C4 tonight at 9:00pm if you haven't seen it.

Nice of Bran to let all those kids and families get burnt and crushed to death in kings landing then, cos it was all for the best.

Highly recommend The Miracle - currently on Sky Atlantic They've been streaming 2 episodes each week, but you can get the full lot now by looking at The Miracle (Dubbed) boxset and the full season of subtitled episodes are available there. https://www.sky.com/watch/title/series/0e113d88-41b7-4957-a975-ddb53a4fa0ff/the-miracle “In Italy, the referendum that could bring the country out of Europe is round the corner.In eight days, four figures find themselves dealing with the biggest event of their existence; one capable of changing the world and that will change their lives forever.” Similar in a way to The Leftovers in that it posits the what happens next, and not the why. Great soundtrack too.

Back in the day when Boots sold Spectrum games, it was always a risk that hard earned pocket money would be squandered on buying a game based on the screenshot and blurb on the back of the cassette, or from some tantalising advert in the latest Your Spectrum or Crash magazine. We would usually ask to have a demo on the instore machines, but more often the staff started getting moany about kids playing on the computers all day. So, if it turned out the game was a turkey and not a smash, back it would go because the game was faulty. Cue various excuses. When the manager started moaning about being used as a library, the best way to actually make the game faulty was to stick some paper in the holes and tape over a couple of seconds someway into the tape.

Highlighting these as don't think they've been talked about elsewhere - Just started My Brilliant Friend and it's very very good, solid acting and a nice slow paced character drama unfolding. Get Shorty is a blast, 1st series is best, but definitely recommend watching. Quick witted and an ever changing dramatic plot.
