Prepping the next episode recording of the podcast with an amazing guest (which will be out in November) and I find this comic strip in the pages of Crash issue 35. Do you see what I see? Is that THE Charlie Brooker? I know he worked for OINK! Is this an early appearance?
Starting the edit for the September episode. I really can't wait for you to all hear this episode as we have Steve McNeil from the TV show Go 8-Bit as our special guest this month reliving his days of being an Atari ST gamer. Recorded live at @TimelessGC 2026.
New episode! Geoff chats to @Robbotron about Australian magazine SEGA MegaZone issue 44. We chat about The Dark Room, his current tour, including at Edinburgh Fringe, and that amazing Sonic cover! @filmstories open.spotify.com/episode/69nyQn…
It's edited. It's uploaded. It's ready for release at 8am, 8/8/26. @Robbotron
As you might have guessed from previous episodes, I'm a bit of an F1 fan so a video like this will always grab my attention. Check it out if, like me, you have an interest in F1 as well as video games.
🚨NEW VIDEO🚨 Time to take the channel in a different direction and look at F1 video games
Coming up in the next episode of 8-Bit Back Issues... Why is @Robbotron pulling this face? And WTF is he holding??? All of these questions answered in August's episode of 8-Bit Back Issues. (Available from 8 August)
