Ah fuck a duck. Dimrill, I've probably been near Lewisham before at some point in my life, but I'm not there right now.


Your a gay.
Come and sit with Uncle Dimrill by the fire as he reads Perkies' old PC Gamers.

I can't explain this! They were kept in the front room in those large plastic crates you saw, and the house didn't have damp or anything. You didn't notice any smell when you visited did you?
Cool Logitech are cool.

Yes, it smelted of back bacon and snowdrifts. I think it's just the gum/glue that binds them. It's certainly the spine area.
This is fantastic! I remember all of these things as soon as I see them, it's like leafing through them myself. So yeah, BRITISH GIRLS play games but in The Netherlands, Italy and Germany it's men only.

Have you encountered the 'Johnny Herbert's GP' ad yet? Or the depressingly business-like 'Outwars' ad by Microsoft?

Thanks. I now have a mental image of you sitting beside your bookshelves, gently sniffing the spines of several hundred PC mags.

New Delivery Option: GingerMail. A bearded, be-shorted gentleman jogs by your house to collect stuffs.
I expect that will be more reliable than Yodel.
I want an Enter Cyberspace tshirt.

Gaywood tried that as a teenager, but people got pissed off with their post ending up in volcanoes.

I wonder what Jane Williams looks like now.

Nice of the marketing team to be-dorkify her with that tee, though. "She's legit!"

I imagine there were acne-covered references to "entering her cyberspace" among the spoddy masses of the time.
I've bidded! There's no going back now Craster! Ugh ugh ugh *pumps away*
Will Craster deliver anywhere in the UK?
Nah, I'll pop to the cottage and pick them up. Nay bother, it's only a 20 min drive for me. Unless he's got a burning desire to meet 10 gippynigs.

Or you could come and have fun with us!
I'm not a fun individual. I'm miserable and get uncomfortable in crowds.

Craster *always* delivers. No matter where, no matter when.

Quite. Manchester says NON to that dude. Awesome fun times. And then the rest of Manchester stabs you and steals your wallet.*

*Or you have a civilised night in a hotel. With no untowardness AT ALL.

Come along. It'd be good to meet you. Also: Chrononauts and Munchkin are top fun. Top fun times.

Look like a twat! 15 years ago. Still trying to force this shit on us.
Haha "Spex". I want a pair!
Interesting PC Gamer coverage of the imminent release of Quake 2. They enliven the photos of horrible grotty programmers in several interesting ways.

First off, a mass squatting session on what appears to be derelict industrial units.

Next off, just two programmers squatting in the dereliction at dusk!

And finally you must be thinking, nah, they won't use squatting again. And if they do, SURELY they won't do it in brownsite property...

You were right! They're squatting down outside Hooters for some reason.
Amazing scenes as PC Gamer fucking review fucking pizzas the fucking morons.

I love the 'at gunpoint' look on the brunette's face as she touches a programmer.
She turns her head slightly to try and get out of the woft of fœtid vinegary programmer gusset.
3D Spex twat is going to struggle with Descent unless he puts his joystick back on the desk.

At least id weren't persuaded by the photographer to take their shoes off as seemed popular for 90s shoots of 'visionary' software people, as per this infamous TIME cover.

Infamous as Mr Andreessen hadn't bothered clipping his toenails for a few months, and the following issue's letter page was filled with comments to this effect.

I'd forgotten that pizza review thing. The only thing more cloying than the pizza is the smug writing. The Sprint Garlic Bread description makes me want to punch Matthew Pierce in the face. Note the magazine's complete and sickening obsession with Quake at the time. Yes, cunts, you have a LAN, the rest of us had dialup.
I like the fact that the "Top Rated" games that come with the 3D Spex are so "Top Rated" that there's no mention anywhere of what they are.

They're written on the box itself in the middle-right of the picture. I think it's Descent, Slipstream 5000 (awesome game, sort of what I'd hoped Fatal Inertia would be like, oh well) and Wipeout.
Missed out on those mags, Craster. Thanks for the offer anyhow!
Yeah, thanks for nothing, Craster.
