Lord Arse But Even More Scary 🕹️

'ello 👋 Name's Lord Arse (or Mark, if you prefer. I do.) and I'm a collector of old computer and video games and related paraphernalia. Search "Lord Arse" on your favourite engine (Altavista, Excite, Lycos, Yahoo! etc.) and you'll probably find me, though I won't admit to anything. Thanking you!

My uncle - genius, total genius, great genes, very good brain - he invented colour! Can you believe it? Nobody knew about colour until he did it. Believe me, before my uncle came along, everything was black and white. Terrible. And everything moved a bit faster than things are today, very fast.

Slow progress but listed some more of my Star Wars collection on eBay. Please feel free to take a look and give me a follow if you want to be notified when I list anything. Still a couple of dozen Star Wars titles to put there! www.ebay.co.uk/usr/lord_arse

Don't forget folks, the clocks go forward an hour tonight. You're welcome x

Missed all the #totp shenanigans this evening and I can't watch any late night repeats coz I've got to be up at 7am. Hope it was 50% Bay City Rollers, 50% Lighthouse Family 😉😘

Mr. Arse's maps are lovely indeed! They're a great record, they're properly of the vintage, and it would be great to feature them in the book if we can hit that magic 100k mark. We've still got 10 days to go! Get in there.

Excited to announce that some of my hand-drawn maps will be included in the new ZX Spectrum book "The Rubber-Keyed Wonder: The Sinclair ZX Spectrum Story" if the Kickstarter reaches £100,000! Interested? Here's the link: www.kickstarter.com/projects/48k...

Had a chat yesterday with my good friend @gamesyouloved.bsky.social about all things Spectrum and the Rubber-Keyed Wonder, covered a lot of interesting stuff. You can have a look here :) m.youtube.com/watch?v=ANvL...

Ever since Lotus Esprit came out on the ZX Spectrum I wanted one. I even had a framed picture of one on my wall. I say had... I still have it somewhere! Do I want one now? Absolutely not. Probably would be a nightmare to maintain and I ain't got time for that!

Show me something that traumatized you as a child.

I'm good.

Apparently, today is National Mark Day. So, you know, appreciate me.

Really don't think the quality of series 2 of #snluk is up to the level of series 1 but quite enjoyed some parts of this episode, particularly Ania Magliano calls Shane Gillis a “Stupid f*cking c*nt” on Weekend Update.

#isitok that they've got Ellie Taylor on Last Leg when next year she'll have Josh's job?

SPARAGE! #totp

I love the first Muse album. It's oft forgotten amongst all their releases but it has some beautiful songs on it, including this #totp

"Aha!"

That's another half dozen or so of my Star Wars big box collection up on my store, including my wonderful Dark Forces box! Still loads more to add. Anyway, go check it out if you're looking to buy! www.ebay.co.uk/usr/lord_arse

Honouring the legacy of Margaret Hamilton, the pioneer who coined the term “software engineering.” Her brilliant priority-driven software helped keep the Apollo 11 computer running through critical overloads during its final descent, helping land humanity safely on the Moon. RIP.

Somebody wants to buy this from me. What would you price at up at? I'm thinking somewhere around £300?

Fish and Marillion look as romantic as a brick but 'Kayleigh' is about as beautiful as it gets #nottotp

Widow's Bay is just great, isn't it? No spoilers but there was a moment in the episode we just watched - episode eight - where my wife screamed so loud that I shit myself. Erm, figuratively, of course... 😳

Love this.

MAXIMUM SEGA.

Love this.

Oh, damn!
