I’ve mentioned in the past that Super Mario World is one of my all-time favourite games and it is easily my favourite Super Mario game. It woul be remiss of me to fail to mention its beautiful sequel, Yoshi’s Island. Story wise, it’s the tale of how various Yoshis take baby Mario through a perilious […]
With less than a month till I get my paws on the Nintendo Switch and Breath of the Wild (many thanks to my mum for helping to make this happen!), it is fair to say I am excited. This is the end of a journey that Nintendo set me on a few years ago, when […]
Earlier on this evening I nearly – nearly – won a Wii U on Ebay. I’m actually grateful in many ways that I didn’t. Yes, I would like to continue the tradition of possessing every Nintendo home console, but upon reflection, the Wii U doesn’t offer that much more than the Wii. Yes, Super Mario […]
Having compiled a list of my top ten games not too long ago, I thought it was time to ponder that classic gaming trope – the final boss, the big cheese, the one who will end the world as we know it if you, the brave adventurer, does not stop them. So, without further adieu, […]

I wrote a review of The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword some time ago, and when I wrote this review I did so through the slight haze of time and nostalgia. Recently I’ve been replaying this game, and whilst there are certain elements that I have come back to and enjoyed, I dare say there […]
Ok, so I don’t know if I can claim that this next piece of artwork is legendary. That may – just about – be a step too far. Whilst it is no doubt going to be well-regarded in the annals of history, it is not quite to the standard of say, a Leonardo Da Vinci […]
I can’t believe I missed marking the 30th anniversary of a gaming legend, especially one that I personally have invested a lot of time and heart into over the years. I can’t believe The Legend of Zelda is actually 30 – I really can’t! The Zelda series has to be my all time favourite […]
Since getting home, the cat has been convinced he's owed about a million meals, and has incessantly reminded us of this.
The Daily Mail readership has dropped 32%, people are saying they will be bankrupt before 2030 because no-one wants to advertise in them.
I'm sure that if we RT we can bring their downfall sooner, and GB News too.
Well, it's been a hectic week in sunny Sicily, hot and lovely, albeit I feel like I've barely tanned!
Returning to Nesslabs for inspiration, we find ourselves pondering what it would mean to upload our mind to the cloud. The merging of meerkat and machine is an intriguing, frightening, exciting prospect. Uploading is an idea explored by by the TV show Upload (which I am yet to see), and it’s basically a means of […]
