There'll be a lets play of my favourite game of all time on twitch tomorrow at 8pm - The Last Ninja 2 on the commodore 64, by SID composer Chris Huelsbeck.
The special guest will be the composer of the very soundtrack for the game, Matt Gray.
Between that and Collectaholics, it should make for a nice retro evening.

I thought it was exactly the kind of fan pandering nonsense that it was going to be, which is why it left no impression on me. At least the first one had the benefit of being "oh hey, a new Star Wars movie is coming". 'Tis no Mad Max Fury Road.No surprise there
I thought it was really well done
Godman, you say?I liked the Force Awakens trailer. My nerdy fanboy soul welcomed it with joy and warm feelings
Didn't get those feelings for todays leaked Batman Vs GodmanSuperman though.
Although I liked "Do you Bleed"
Batman V Superman is looking to do something I dread to see. Bats somehow managing to hold his own against Supes because of that whole stupid "prep time" shtick.0 -

Ah give over man It's the revival of a saga everyone thought was done...there's celebration for everyone in that new trailer, newcomers, long time fans, rabid fans. The only thing more annoying than overly rabid SW fans are the "critics" of SW. Yes there has been much to keep the genuine critics busy in recent times (see the whole prequel trilogy), but when it's new, fresh, & seemingly making genuine efforts to return to what made it great it just makes the armchair critics seem like they need to get over things a little

Yeah, but...I just want a fresh take on the series rather than simply just hanging on to the vestiges of the Original Trilogy that would only make those rabid fans go "SQUEEEE!". Which is why I'm hoping Rian Johnson's Episode VIII will finally do its own thing, much less burdened by what we would have come to expect and maybe take some unpredictable risks that will certainly irritate many fans, but actually elevate the quality of the series in the long term. Remember, back in 1977, the original Star Wars was considered a fairly risky property during an era when ambitious auteur driven works of film was considered the norm. And I feel that the series deserves to be that again. Oh sure, I'm certain VII will be a fun ride, but I also feel that it's not really gonna pull any punches. Even the possibility of, say, killing off Han Solo would feel a tad predictable, because of our own knowledge of Star Wars' background and production. So yeah...I'm not really annoyed that Star Wars is back, but I feel it deserves to be more.Ah give over man It's the revival of a saga everyone thought was done...there's celebration for everyone in that new trailer, newcomers, long time fans, rabid fans.
