Every Friday, Feeling Sleepy

Normally I use this section to whinge about stuff, and complain about my crappy health situation, but this week I'll stop being so bloody selfish, and instead direct you to Rob Fearon's current situation.

I wish him and his family well, and hope that things go as smoothly as possible.

So Pointy And Clicky

From the creators of Maniac Mansion and Day of The Tentacle comes a brand new adventure.
Currently awaiting funding, but looking like it might be interesting to play, the creators are still finalising the artwork.
I do miss decent Point and Clickers.

Meanwhile, if you want to play the original DOTT and Maniac Mansion, there's a Remastered edition of DOTT that's about to come out, which also includes the Maniac Mansion original within.
Cracking stuff!

So Old

; Amiga Choons

An Amiga 600 playing music isn't very unusual.
But an Amiga 600 streaming an MP3 from Dropbox...?

Meanwhile, CPCs aren't treated anywhere near as well.

And poor old Atari 2600s just get replaced.

So Televised

; End of..

Mythbusters has ended after a 14 year run.
The end of an era.
And what an era it was!

; Return of...

The BBC are bringing back a whole host of old sitcoms. Some are remakes. Others are spinoffs. More are prequels.
They're doing for Sitcoms what they did for Kids TV, and if DangerMouse is anything to go by, it'll be great to watch!!
