WTF@ the comments on that daybreak live blog piece (which is conceptually atrocious in every way imaginable) people taking such meaningless fluff seriously, WTF. For god's sake, get a grip Guardian readership!

Taking meaningless fluff seriously is pretty much the number 1 class signifier in 21st Century England.

Actual economic impact of carpet bombing during WWII seriously over-estimated in the general public consciousness iirc.

[lame joke based on the idea you meant 'bombing carpets']

Aren't the Guardian all about a 'sardonic', 'off kilter' approach to sleb culture? Unlike the poor stupid people who all take it really seriously and Heat 'in some ways can be seen' as replacing religion or other sources of meaning in their lives.

Dun Darach is more or less my fave Spectrum game ever, alongside those other Gargoyle adventures.
― Hongro Horace (Noodle Vague), Monday, 6 September 2010 12:08 (fifteen years ago)

"Dun Darach", "knight Lore" and "Highway Encounter", a 3-way tie for 1st place.

Target Renegade narrowly beat Barry McGuigan Boxing for me (training mode on the latter was a game-changer imo)

I had Jim Watt Boxing. You jabbed pointlessly for 4 rounds then went in with the heid and finished it in the 5th.

Mercenary is fucking dope btw but not a Speccy exclusive.
Excellent de-rail btw guys.

Yeah obviously
― Hongro Horace (Noodle Vague), Monday, 6 September 2010 12:16 (fifteen years ago)
When you loaded a game the stupid C64 tape machine didn't even make an awesome noise
― Hongro Horace (Noodle Vague), Monday, 6 September 2010 13:10 (2 seconds ago)
Ha yeah but the comments kinda give lie to that. Some bored civil servants ardently responding to a livebloggah detailing the voodoo coronation of the Chelmsford Ceaucescu's fluoresecent fuckbuddy and one of Business Lunch's foremost alumni. So it cuts across class lines I guess.

Didn't they have any other sources of meaning in their lives in the 1980s apart from Spectrum games?
