What happened to Tugs? Models & Interviews! Documentary
Thomas the Tank Engine may grab the limelight, however a related series that first started in 1989 ramped up the quality in a charming show set in the 1920s called Tugs.
Sadly, Tugs only survived a single series however its legacy is one of great fondness.
A few years ago, I was lucky enough to view the real models up close in this documentary.

A PC I purchased at the end of 2019 suits me well, yet with all this fairly modern tech I still use my ASUS Xonar D2X soundcard from 2008 - yes a 14 year old soundcard! Still works and sounds amazing.
Not sure I need the EAX 2.0 support today, but amusing nethertheless. Remember EAX folks?

I love a good bargain, but never seen a 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray for £1!
Never seen this film either, so great news all around.

Trying hard to preserve my HD DVD format collection, a format that lost to Blu-ray which had great potential but sadly didn't last long.
The Xbox 360 sold a HD DVD add on for £99 which included the HD DVD drive and King Kong on the format. I'm using this plugged in via USB on Windows to back up the discs. Mostly successful, except for this Heroes box set where disc rot has taken a grip sadly.

Happy Friday folks! Let's stand tall and proud that we are nearly at the weekend as demonstrated by the fine Spartans on Halo 5.

I love finding new YouTube channels with video content showing #retrogaming repairs.
vswitchzero has a number of #3dfx, #matrox and #intel projects and repairs that I've really enjoyed watching. I had no idea that reflashing a BIOS on a graphics card could resolve so many issues!

Never owned an Amiga, I had an Acorn Archimedes A3010 so enjoying trying Pimiga out on my Raspberry Pi 4.
Any tips for an Amiga n00b?

The SEGA Dreamcast VMU is still such a cool thing!
When else was there ever such a fantastic way to store saved games and also include a display that you could play a little game on or view additional information while playing the console game on the TV when the VMU was connected to your Dreamcast controller.

Do you miss playing Xbox Live on the 'original' Xbox?
Well then make sure you follow @insignia to view the games they are adding on a regular basis that supports their free service, allowing you to again play these games online. This is a new service so there is still plenty to be added, but it's been great fun so far.
More information can be found here...

Well the dream is real!
Xbox Live on the original Xbox is indeed back with @insignia, with my first experience on Midtown Madness 3 in what must be around 15 years. Ran really well.

I never thought I would see the day when I can connect my original Xbox to... Xbox Live! A service that shut down in April 2010 for the first generation Xbox console.
Thanks to @insignia, I can connect to their free Xbox Live service specifically for original Xbox games from nearly 20 years ago.
Now where did I place my original Midtown Madness 3 disc???
Fun times are coming, with a massive dose of online gaming nostalgia.

Behold the beauty of 3dfx Voodoo 2 graphics cards in SLI.
In 1998, by connecting two Voodoo 2 cards together, you would experience faster 3D graphics performance, but also increase the max resolution from 800x600 to 1024x768.
Scan-Line Interleave (SLI) technology was first introduced on the Voodoo 2 for PCs and later when NVIDIA purchased 3dfx, they too started using the technology on their own GPUs.

Ahh that beautiful moment when you know your 3dfx card is kicking in ready for 3D acceleration action (animated gif).
If you owned a 3dfx and this doesn't get you tingling with nostalgic sentiment from the days of DOS, Windows 95/98 - nothing will :)

That time Simon the Sorcerer made it into the bedroom 🤣
Now it covers up my Yamaha Tyros4 keyboard and provides a nice backdrop when I'm on camera in daily meetings. Always a good talking point along with the Displate posters.

Return to Monkey Island is fabulous and who doesn't love the pirate LeChuck!
The game has just won PC Game of the Year at the Golden Joystick Awards too, so congratulations to @grumpygamer and all involved!

Mario Kart 7 released on the Nintendo 3DS in 2011.
The Switch sequel is often touted as the best of the series, especially with its DLC expanding the number of courses considerably, however playing Mario Kart 7 with the 3D screen is a truly wondrous thing.
Featuring land, sea and air there is plenty of variety available for each course and a silky smooth framerate as per usual.

Ahhh the first Android phone I ever purchased after years with the iPhone.
I was so excited, I was so glad to try something a little different to iOS and at this point the Android OS seemed finally ready for prime time and guess what...
I had it just a few days, had to send it back due to a SECOND recall.
Yes, it was the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 🤦
An excellent phone that was alas doomed, twice in fact due to two separate battery exploding issues.
