@woldenspoons – too right it was! 100pts. I have it on PDF.

I also played ‘Villians & Vigilantes’ by the amazing FGU. I have never been a fan of “fantasy” things. Far too inconsistant for me. The exception might be Mr. Moorcock. I will blame my dad for having the books!

What were you supposed to be studying and where? I went as a mature student. I loved it. It was so good I went back three more times. I was an Uni the year they removed grants. I was working so it wasn’t so bad. After that my employers paid. It wasn’t even an option when I went to school. Another paradox of youth! I would love to go back to 1988 and kick my own ass.

Geedubya? Wa gwan, blud! Man got thirsty. Scene. Is this like ‘Windtalkers’? It was great when I lived in Sheffield…all they young Asian lads talking like they were from Somalia. I just used to laugh at them. White scrotes from Leeds sound like it too. Weird. I blame rap music, Ali G, and fuckwitted parents.

The original WD’s used to have everything in it. It was a Traveller scenario that got me to buy my first copy…before I even knew what games were! It was 75p. Wacoshop used to sell everyone’s games too. My first copy of Call of Cthulhu RPG came from there, Twilight 2000, and all the little self-typed rules like Challenger and Shock of Impact.

The last time I was in a Wacoshop, at least 8 years ago, you couldn’t use other paints or even talk about other games! A stand-in manager even asked me not to use a Series 7 brush. I smiled and said it was fine. I had a load of GW brushes in my box, but only 3 Series 7’s. He said it was policy, but I told him that I would have to insist it was fine. Wit’ a choob. Turns out he got caught wearing his girlfriends gruts when he came to work. He was offered a full-time position at another local store and the regulars got a petition together saying they would boycott the store if he was the manager. I won’t mention his name.

I had Blockmania and the JD RPG…still got that too. Brilliant game. We still play Talisman. Dave has the 40K version and we gave that a go. Pretty good too. The only game I missed was Mummy’s Tomb game. That was while I was working away.

Chainsaw Warrior was my favourite! When I go down to Dave’s I often flick through a copy of WD while using the facilities. Without any exaggeration I have bought “art books” with more text in them. (e.g., Razzle)

They sold all the gaming magazines. Well, the few that existed. I was away for a few years and wandered in one day and it was full of children. When I was 17 and going in to GW all the gamers talked down to me because I was so young and had just started playing. Next thing it is a creche. I only had one foot in the shop when an assistant assaulted me. Had I not been carrying stuff for an evening meal then I might have got a grip of him. Beware of change.

I thought my Vic20 was the bollocks, but it was the beginning of the end. All you have to do is watch YouTube for an hour and Stevie Wonder could see we are getting very close to the start of the “end times”. Not in a Biblical sense, but more like ‘last days of Rome’. We are getting close.

How can you tell I have been in all afternoon by myself?
