The Real World (Of Stuart).

6 April 2004

He might have been a hero to millions, but it turns out he did mean something to me too.

2 April 2004

As if there was ever even a competition, really.

31 March 2004

While messing around with a Macintosh emulator, I stumbled across my original draft of the Sensible World Of Soccer manual from 1994. What was I thinking?

23 March 2004

Wise words from the now generation.

20 March 2004

Stuff Everyone Else Knew Months Ago Department.

18 March 2004

Yet more reviewing, yet more Space Invaders.

17 March 2004

Followed by #3: R-Type Final.

16 March 2004

And here's the second: Virtua Racing Flat Out.

15 March 2004

In the light of a better-than-expected response to the World Of Stuart tips jar, it seemed a nice idea to put up reviews of some of the things your generously-donated cash has so far been spent on. So here's the first one, Taito's Space Invaders: Invasion Day.

14 March 2004

After the recent shortage of updates, caused by a life of epic chaos/excitement/trauma/chaos again, a new offering exploring the future of the gaming market. I'm so sick of installing this new PC.

3 March 2004

How come you can make both your eyes look "inwards" (ie at your nose) at the same time, but not outwards?

28 February 2004

Added Search facility for thrillingly enhanced functionality.

26 February 2004

After pondering the entry below, added a World Of Stuart tips jar, as an optimistic piece of barefaced scamming for cash.

25 February 2004

After a brief interlude of actually earning a living, normal WoS service is resumed with more top-quality free videogames journalism, this time in the form of an exciting article on plagiarism.

15 February 2004

Added a feature on Eugene Jarvis' under-appreciated Cruis'n series of games, originally written for acceptably fine webzine Way Of The Rodent's tribute special to the great man, but now featuring an extra screenshot AND all-new, exclusive-to-WoS captions!

Also finally fixed (I think) different-browser text-size discrepancies, and made several tweaks for enhanced prettiness/readability.

13 February 2004

Why videogames magazines are dying, and nobody cares.

11 February 2004

Is hunger your bitch? Then snack your bitch up.

10 February 2004

Well, that ended up taking a lot more of my day than I'd planned.

4 February 2004

For the benefit of a viewer, added the previously-unseen second incarnation of The Gentlemen's MAME Parlour, as far more skilfully re-imagined by that ecumenical cat, The Pope.

2 February 2004

RIP Muhammad Ally

29 January 2004

Thanks to an alert forum reader for pointing me towards this little excellently stupid bullet-dodging game. Your high-score to beat: 37.184 seconds. Pics to the forum if you can do better.

One of the finest games in the history of humankind, cruelly killed by morons, is resurrected at last.

Sometimes, though, humans are good.

20 January 2004

After all the recent excitement, something approaching normal service is resumed, with the Indie and PC Zone sections of the main archive brought up to date with the inclusion of several new articles. "Between Planets" section also added to the main yellow sidebar.

Don't forget your great WoS free trainspotting game, viewers!

16 January 2004

Ever wondered how it all began?

13 January 2004

Sometimes, even I get a little tired of being libelled by idiot liars.

12 January 2004

World Of Stuart smashes through the 300,000 visitors barrier. You'd think that there'd be some kind of fantastic extra-special thing to commemorate a landmark like that, and all there actually is today is a stupid comment about The Two Ronnies. Tch.

11 January 2004

Metal Slug 5: Why I Hate Capitalism.

9 January 2004

17 November 2003

Yet more thrilling new content added: Digiworld offline archive, and The Great Rock'n'Roll Swindle Pinball - 2003 Edition. This isn't how you're supposed to do a blog at all.

11 November 2003
