I will probably make you feel better about yourself

The blu-ray set of the 2 recent Mortal Kombat movies. Fond memories of the first one. The first movie I got to see at the pictures in 2021 once the world reopened. Everyone in the screen loved it. And I've enjoyed it every time since. The new one is great, too. Maybe even better.
The limited edition Arrow Video blu-ray box set of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie trilogy. Featuring that absolutely iconic image that every little kid born in the 80s was obsessed with, the Turtles popping their heads out of a manhole cover. If I was to ever meet 7 year old me, he would think this was my greatest achievement in life.
A karate guy from a BBC documentary in the late 70s. The implication is that it is me (only this dude is a lot less heftier).

The Arrow Video Mortal Kombat Kollectiom blu-ray set. New restorations of Mortal Kombat and MK Annihilation. Has a neat poster and booklet with it, too.
The computer game Star Fox, for the computer machine Nintendo Switch 2.
The Johnny Fuckin Cage funko. He is wearing his shades and doing karate.
A monthly snack box of random world treats. This one is from Hungary, ironically, as I always am. A new electric razor, polygonal Lara Croft funko pop, one of Scullion's great videogame encyclopedias, N64 this time. The remastered Soul Reaver collection on Switch and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth on Switch 2. Forgot to snap the glasses cleaning kit the youngest got me.
Green Adidas Hardwood Classics Milwaukee Bucks jersey, with a purple deer print. No 34, but not giannis, for a change.

The box for Yoshi and the Mysterious Book, and the free magnetic book marks, featuring Yoshi, a ? cloud, a daisy and a Yoshi egg. Yoshi.
No face from Spirited Away holding an orb.
A huge burger king burger, a pile of fries and one of the Mandalorian colour changing cups, because I'm still a kid.
Leicester City football stadium 🏟
My SNES with Starwing. The power light is illuminated.
The game disc for Star Wars Rogue Squadron II Rogue Leader, sat in the disc tray of the Gamecube. I was reading the Retro Gamer article on it this morning so fancy a shot at the Death Star run.
Jetpac, the excellent Spectrum game that I have spent many an hour playing. The screen is mainly black, with a yellow floor and three floating green platforms. My space ship is broken in 3 parts and my wee astronaut guy has to retrieve them. It's got a better frame rate than the game this is hiding in.
Game progression screen for Donkey Kong 64. 69 bananas. Nice!
The subscribers cover for the latest Retro Gamer magazine. It's the box art for Lego Star Wars II, which is a favourite of mine. It features lego versions of the main characters and some space vehicles, too.
My progress in Donkey Kong 64. I have unlocked all the characters and currently have 63 golden bananas, with 29% game completion at 10hrs 15mins.
The Shadows of the Empire title screen. It has images depicting the battle of Hoth, a space battle, a speeder bike chase on tatooine, and I think Prince Xizor.
These terrible photos dont do it any justice, but this looks better than I remember. This was one of THE football games back when I were a lad. Anyways, it's Celtic vs St Johnston in a Scottish Premier League match up. A minute into the game, the score is 0-0, two players from each team are on the screen. Celtic are in possession of the ball making a run up the left wing. In the background you can see an Adidas advertisement board.
The cartridges for N64 games Star Wars Shadows of the Empire and FIFA 98. 2 rather nostalgic games that I'm looking forward to revisiting.
Donkey Kong running with his coconut canon in Donkey Kong 64
The player character from International Karate +, sparked out on the floor from getting beaten. The referee is stood at his feet with one of the cpu characters in a red gi stood behind them still in a fighting stance.
Game of the Year 1998 - The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time Best Gameplay - Ocarina of Time Best Narrative - Metal Gear Solid Best Art Direction - was gonna be R4, but had to go with Resi 2. Couldn't leave one of my favourite games out. Best Soundtrack - Ridge Racer Type 4. A score that has endured in my memory since I first played it. Best Multiplayer - Vigilante 8. It's the time and the place. Many hours whiled away with friends playing this vehicular combat nonsense. Great fun back in the day.
My character in IK+, wearing a white gi with a yellow belt and matching sweatband around his head. The character is stood looking at the hi score leader board.
Red Panda, the lady that rides a big unicycle while kicking bowls onto her head. The real MVP.
The opening cinematic for The Legend of Zelda Majoras Mask. Green Zelda has just fallen off his horse and is rubbing his head. It is playing in my TV/VCR combi.
IK+ The Ultimate Martial Arts Simulation on the PS1 and the N64 expansion pak.
Vintage Gamer's store front. Sonic and Duke Nukem are in the window.
The title screen for Waverace Blue Storm. The title card is under water in the sand. There's a lovely ripple effect that the photo doesn't really capture, and the are seashells and a star fish dotted about.
The Drake meme where he does not like something in the top half, but prefers the thing in the bottom half. The thing he dislikes here is Hugh in Pragmata. The thing he likes is Hugh Morris from the US Tomodachi Life Direct a wee while ago. I'm looking forward to both games, I just thought this was amusing.
The main hall of the Spencer mansion. Chris Redfield is running towards a large door on the east side of the hallway. A lit candlabra lights the foreground.
The entry for Mendel Palace in Chris Scullion's NES Encyclopedia. It sits next to Mega Man 6 and looks rather unremarkable in contrast.
The box for Lady Reporter aka The Blonde Fury on Blu Ray. I think this is the 3rd film I've got starring the lady dragon in recent months. The other two were Yes, Madam and Righting Wrongs. The latter being excellent.
Lego Creator 3 in 1 Retro Gaming Console. You can build either a handheld system, PC or arcade machine.
If anyone wants some early 2010's FIFA games on the xbox 360, get down to the tip shop.
The loading screen before a ranked match in Virtua Fighter 5. On the left is my opponent fighting with Jean Kujo, and on the right is me, using Eileen. With 40 wins and 100 losses! With a win ratio of 28.57%. I keep getting drawn against this guy.

Playing Super Mario Bros. on Super Mario All Stars on the SNES. You can also see the Wii U gamepad, my Switch, the most recent issues of Retro Gamer, and my shelf full of Lego, Amiibo and other things that really needs tidying up.
The European rankings for Eileen on Virtua Fighter 5 on Switch 2. I'm in 1st place.
The worldwide Switch 2 ranking of Virtua Fighter 5 players using the character Eileen. I am in 9th place. And I'm probably not getting any higher.
Steph Curry celebrating at the Olympics. This might be after that famous shot where rather than passing to LeBron or KD, he's feeling pretty confident and drains a three over two French defenders. That was one heck of a game.
