Arcade Club Leeds

Ladies and gentlefolk, I have found heaven! There are no pearly gates, cherubs don’t play the harps in the rafters and the price of admission is a mere £16! Though it does reside in God’s county…

Getting back into Warhammer

Warhammer has been a massive part of my life for as long as I can remember. Ever since I first clapped eyes on the immaculately painted miniatures in my local store at the ripe old age of eleven, I’ve been hooked. Over the years, it’s been the one hobby that I’ve always managed to find my way back to and it seems once again I’m at that stage again.

The Test of Time

“They don’t make ’em like they used to,” is a popular phrase you hear a lot when you’re from my neck of the woods. Generally, it’s from an older age group, ruminating on the degradation of modern technology trends which can include everything from toasters to aeroplanes, no matter what it is, people truly believe that things were better “back then”. Which actually got me thinking, about things which are relevant to me, that have stood the test of time and things which attempted to survive throughout the ever-changing trends and demands of a growing audience, but unfortunately failed.

Wasted Potential

Those of you that know me, know I absolutely love Jurassic Park. I remember watching Jurassic Park as a kid, amazed at the dinosaurs and how awesome they looked and how scary the whole ordeal was and 20 years later I’m still as in love with it. It also helps that it was released in June 1993, when I was born, which also means I may have caused my Dad to miss going to see it…sorry Dad. With the advancements in palaeontology and such, we are pretty much certain that dinosaurs don’t look like they did in Jurassic Park (something that was touched upon in Jurassic World) but that doesn’t make the franchise any less awesome. It does seem to me however, that despite Jurassic Park’s ability to withstand the test of time, there is one platform where it falls firmly on its face, and that’s gaming.
