I'm 40 on March 18, 2024, and I've just treated myself to the best gift to mark the occasion: tickets to see Judas Priest + Saxon + Uriah Heap in concert days after the big 4-0!

Sometimes having a game that does what it says on the tin is refreshing. Great read!

Very shocked to hear about Paul O'Grady. Me and my Nan used to enjoy watching his afternoon chat show years back. Seemed like a top bloke too. Rest well, mate.

@nezzko Doh! But yeah mate, what a fantastic game. My first Zelda oddly enough! I've been meaning to revisit it for ages but keep putting it off for hopes of the remaster.

[Michael Harradence @MikeHarradence]

@nezzko Totally. What's going on with Ninty? They were rumored to be doing this for like 18 months and it still hasn't shown up.

Do you not have a GameCube still, mate?

[Michael Harradence @MikeHarradence]

Absolutely love this series. The original Resident Evil is my favourite game of all time and I revisit it every year, playing it mostly on weekends over the course of a few months.

Happy 27th anniversary to the Resident Evil franchise! 💜

The games have changed my life in so many ways, and I'm so grateful for all the memories I've made and people I've met through our mutual love for RE.

It wasn't planned, but I ended up reviewing Hogwarts Legacy, and it was utterly brilliant - and this is from someone who isn't a massive Harry Potter fan.

The Mummy (1999) is my favourite film of all time, so I'm thrilled Brendan Fraser is enjoying a career revival.

As a testament to what an awesome bloke he is, he turned up at a double screening of The Mummy and The Mummy Returns in London, dressed as Rick 'O Connell. Awesome.

You know it's a special day when Genesis' Selling England by the Pound is trending on Twitter.

And rightly so - one of the best albums of all time.

I'm really sorry, The Last of Us show is absolutely excellent and is definitely a new high point, but has everyone forgotten that the video game adaptation curse was broken 27 years ago in nineteen ninety-five!!!

50 years ago today @genesis_band performed at the Bataclan in Paris. You can watch footage from the show, restored to 4k, courtesy of the Genesis Museum website, here... https://t.co/XUfiZTodX1

While it's great to see Jun Kazama back, the new Tekken 8 trailer was a bit underwhelming.

Thought we'd get a proper gameplay trailer with a full match, rather than rapid cutting of various fights. Also, and maybe it's just me, but the visuals did not look as good this time...

[Michael Harradence @MikeHarradence]

Zoinks! I just bought four Scooby-Doo movies on DVD and am not ashamed to admit it.

[Michael Harradence @MikeHarradence]

Yes! Finally, got tickets to see Iron Maiden.

Roll on July 2023!

[Michael Harradence @MikeHarradence]

@RobThez Absolutely with you there, mate. I've been on them 10 years now, and still have off days. But I have no problem taking them as it means I can feel 'normal.' No shame in at all as you said. Feel better mate, just power through and you'll be back to normal!

[Michael Harradence @MikeHarradence]

Super Mario Bros. The Movie looks cool from the trailer...apart from the fact Chris Pratt sounds like Chris Pratt and not Mario. I mean, after all that hyping up he did about his voice, and that's what we got? It's only a few lines but c'mon...seriously?

[Michael Harradence @MikeHarradence]

Iron Maiden touring next summer in the UK, performing tracks from Somewhere In Time (could we finally get a live Alexander The Great?) and other classics.

Totally buying tickets to the O2 show. Finally, a chance to see Maiden!
