Carlisle Comic Con 2019
Saturday 16th March. I arrived around 10am along with the other hoards of cos-players and movie fans not knowing what to expect. This was my 1st convention in Carlisle, previously i have attending the memorabilia conventions at the NEC which were huge in comparison. Although it was only in a single ‘room’ everything was well…
Venom
I am not sure what to make of this film, its not a badly made movie, its just that i cannot help but feel that it was trying to be one things but ended up either short of the original target or something completely different. As I write this I have not seen the other…

Delirious 11
The legendary Delirious demo series marks a welcome return of the legendary c64 coder ‘Raistlin’. The demo starts off with what I can only assume is actually Raistlin in bed back in 1992. It looks like he is enjoying his nap time a little too much as the year counter starts to click forward as…

Ready player one tells the story of a not so distant future where there has society has crumbled and most people now live in what are called stacks (they look like caravans on top of each other, hence the name).
