I bought a Wii U (yeah, that was me...), and over several years spent far too much money on eShop purchases. It's not clear from this statement whether my downloads won't work anymore, but I expect th...

Hello to Jason Isaacs.

I received an email from Ryan regarding my membership not long before he died. Not knowing what was coming, I deleted it - and I really wish that I hadn't.It didn't contain anything profound. Somethin...

@bigsocrates: Sorry, slow to reply - but I take your points.

I wonder to what extent this could inform a wider discussion of what constitutes a considered-"legitimate" experience.In my teens, I played SNES and N64 games on 50Hz PAL consoles to a 14-inch CRT thr...

Thank you, Alex. Always a joy.

Came back tonight to watch the rest of it. Just great...
