Stuart's Panoramic World 14 - Elmley Castle, 2015

 
It's been awhile since my last 360 panorama.  Having had the chance to play with a DJI Phantom 3 Advanced Drone, I've been doing some aerial views.  This one was taken yesterday at Elmley Castle, a small village near to Evesham and at the base of Bredon Hill.

Retro Game Boys Episode 4 - Goldeneye 007 (Nintendo 64)

After a slight break (blasted real life getting in the way), the boys return.  This time they look at Goldeneye on the Nintendo 64, and also look at a couple of retro computer books currently available to buy.

Pointless Post

Its a quiet night, so I thought I'd do some maths.

Sophie and Kayleigh are exactly 2298 days old today.
 Kieran is exactly 3939 days old today.
 I am exactly 14187 days old.

When I was the girls age (as they are now at this very minute), the date was Friday 29th April 1983. When I was Kieran's age, the date was Monday 26th October 1987 (the time of the great storm of 87).

Yep, some useless information for a Monday evening. Nothing like a bit of maths to make me feel older than I already do.

Retro Game Boys Episode 1 - Action Biker (Commodore 64)

Well, it's been a long time coming but episode 1 of Retro Game Boys is now online.

The idea of our new YouTube channel is for me to introduce Kieran to some of the games I was playing when I was his age and growing up, and to see what his opinion are of them in a world of XBoxes and PlayStations.

"Join the Retro Game Boys as they review and play games from yesterday.  In episode 1, Stuart introduces his son Kieran to the wonders of Action Biker - A classic Mastertronic game on the Commodore 64 from 1985.  Grab yourselves a pack of KP Skips and enjoy!"
