  1. They're called *Video Games*

    I know this is isn't exactly related to the original post, but I'm new and trying to fit in so...I hate it when somebody says Computer Games when they are referring to a Video game. I do not play games on my PC, yet am told constantly that I'm not coming out because I'll be sat at home on my own playing Computer Games. Maybe I do play Computer Games and its one of those Fight Club situations, I wonder what else I've been doing. This observation is no doubt very old but it gets to me every time. Worse still correcting somebody that its not a 'Computer' but a 'Video' game only makes me want to take off my own glasses and stamp on them. I don't even wear glasses. Maybe I do.
  2. New people: Read this, say hi.

    Hi there, my name is UncleSpaggles and come to you live from Leigh-On-Sea, a very small retirement village on the Thames Estuary, its located around the south east of the UK, just off from London if you are looking down on it from the sky like a weatherman or a very high up pigeon with impeccable eyesight. Actually that was a lie, I'm in London at work right now, bored. I used to like cartoons and geeky Film/TV stuff until I got a job publishing mags/comics on Star Wars, Star Trek, Lost, Simpsons, SpongeBob, etc and now they hold as much interest as the label on a can of Heinz Baked Beans - but it helps pay the rent so what ya gonna do?! My Video game hobby, thankfully, has yet to be dragged into my professional life - though I expect some tie-in comics are on the cards at some point. I'm getting married next year, somehow I didn't think about all the stuff you have to sort out when I proposed and we have only just started looking at venues. Went on holiday to Venice you see and not getting engaged there would have been a bit like going to Disneyland and not seeing Mickey Mouse...and I love her and all that of course. I listen to Idle Thumbs like a good little boy every week along with Rebel FM and recently Giant Bombcast - but I like Thumbs the best and I'm not just saying that, I really do think those guys are swell. So if you see me around you now know a little bit about me and wont be all shy, looking at your feet and that. I'm not saying we are on hugging terms yet, lets see how we go.
