I've been playing video games since the 80s, and I've got absolutely no intention of growing out of it! 🎮
I'm Simon. Capcom addict, JRPG lover and owner of a backlog I'll probably never finish.
Expect honest opinions, nostalgia, gameplay and plenty of laughs along the way!
ALT Collage of Simon's gaming memories and adventures, including childhood NES games, a Bowser plush, gaming-themed photos and a Resident Evil 2 Remake S+ rank achievement.
Remember getting stuck in a game before the internet?
I remember a magazine publishing a 3-part guide to Zelda: A Link to the Past on SNES.
Each month I'd have to wait for the next instalment!
Imagine telling someone today they had to wait for a walkthrough. 😂
The Binding of Isaac has set the bar TOO high for roguelikes.
I've enjoyed Enter the Gungeon, 30XX and others, but I started recognising the same rooms and situations across runs.
Isaac keeps me guessing. That's what I LOVE about it!
What roguelike comes close?
Character creators are getting ridiculous these days!
With all those sliders and options, I usually just end up recreating myself or my girlfriend as accurately as possible.
Do you create yourself, someone you know, or someone completely different?
Bonus for screenshots!
I know this video has done the rounds but I have things to say...
First and foremost, if you are into playing games, then it doesn't matter what platform you choose to play on.
Consoles ARE more accessible then gaming PC's. You can go into a high street store and ... (🪡)
I'm a technical guy either. Other posts I've seen about fiddling with RAM settings is misinformation, I've never had to do this whatsoever. And graphics settings are just in game options. It's as easy as changing the difficulty on a game!
Jake's reaction to Sherry in Resident Evil 6 cracks me up!
He gets embarrassed by a bit of cleavage (I've seen more on a Friday night!).
Yet moments later, she's naked and he's having a cheeky look! 🍑
All while escaping a facility full of bioweapons!
Priorities, mate! 😂

The early issues of TOTAL! magazine were something special.
I was there from issue #1. Steve & Andy made learning about NES games hilarious!
I kept reading as TOTAL! evolved over the years...
If you read it too, which era of TOTAL! was your favourite?
It's #FinalBossFriday!
It's been another tough week. This stupid cold keeps coming back in waves 🤧 and returning to work hasn't been much fun either!
