We left our Aldershot boys on the back of eight wins after ten games in charge, and a decent climb up the National League table. It was fair to say I’d enjoyed quite a good honeymoon period, so to speak, but would this form be sustainable? My 11th game in charge would be a home […]
In Part One of my newest Football Manager adventure, I spent some time unemployed, waiting for someone to take a chance on me. In November Aldershot decided to give me that chance. Straight away I set up tactics I feel would work best, a kind of 4 2-2-2 formation that will hopefully be suited for […]
It’s been a while since I have sunk my teeth into a new Football Manager game. I invariably return to the 2012 edition, which is familiar and to me, easy to beat. I’ve achieved it all on that version, but what about trying out the latest version of the series? With that in mind, I […]
Last year Nintendo marked the 35th anniversary of Super Mario Bros with a number of limited-time events (including the release of Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine and Super Mario Galaxy as part of a bundle set, and launching the addictive Super Mario Bros 35 on the Switch). I liken the Super Mario franchise to […]
Ladies and gentlemen, I invite you to gaze in awe and wonder at my latest tattoo, which I have to say is beautiful!
Welcome to a frighteningly addictive, utterly bonkers, frantic re-imagining of the original classic Super Mario Bros. Welcome to a battle royale, Mario-style, that’s brought us all back to where it all began, some thirty-five years ago. As a concept this is very simple. You’re playing the original Super Mario Bros. What’s new is that you’re […]
Over on Twitter I’ve started a poll… it’s to determine the next tattoo. Do I get Pumbaa to join Timon, or do I embrace the Triforce (which may end up being black rather than gold, depending upon the price)? My friends, I am weighing up two tattoo options. #TheLionKing and #TheLegendofZelda. pic.twitter.com/WUEC9gGsVj — Ben Berwick […]
As I wait patiently for a video capture device that actually works (let’s make a mental note to avoid eBay for this sort of thing), I thought it would be fun to write my own post that explores the strange history of Super Mario Bros 2, which was in fact released twice – and both […]
The other day I downloaded a freebie on the Nintendo Switch. If it’s free, I’ll tend to grab it. This little number is a skipping rope game, where you use the controllers to simulate the rope. Then you jump, aiming to reach 100 jumps. All pretty straight forward eh? You’d normally expect a bit of […]
Now, I might sound like I’m having a bit of a whinge here, because in a way I am. I’ve been playing online on Shield and I’ve repeatedly had my ass handed to me. It isn’t even a case of having narrowly lost – virtually every defeat to a human player has been a trouncing. […]
Breached the 70K mark on my wip! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
This is just sheer absolute, exquisite beauty.
I have eaten too much pizza.
I don't think it's up to you to decide what's best for women, nor whether or not men can find them attractive...
You may be wondering where this post will go. Well, let’s place the scene in the restaurant above. What might I deem inappropriate behaviour in this setting? A restaurant has waiting staff, who (depending on the quality of the establishment) may or may not be paid a particularly decent wage, yet will work very hard. […]
