Anyway here's a gay gin bar with the best name they could have possibly given it

Blackpool is a place where Mario's and Pizza Luigi exist across the road from each other

here are some pics I took on the Monday after my friends had gone & I had a couple hours to kill before my train. being early on a Monday in October a lot of the tourist stuff was closed or deserted but you could still wander round it

another thing blackpool is famous for is the illuminations, light installations that are put out every autumn. it's really cool at night & i wish i'd taken more photos. but you can find 100000 online anyway

on the good side of things I found this 2025 game called Kaiju Rampage that I'd never heard of before, it's by IGS & it has really good Stupid Arcade Energy with goofy voice acted cutscenes and everything. i played a 2P deluxe motion cab and 4p standup version. highly recommend trying if you see it

one thing blackpool is well known for is its arcades, they run the gamut of size and quality from the massive coral island with the latest big name games, multiple restaurants and even rides to run-down places full of stuff like this

alright the rest of this thread is just going to be blackpool posting
for the non UK people it's a seaside town that used to be a huge tourist destination and still kind of is but is way past its heyday. i've been there as a kid but this was my first time back as an adult

There was of course also a marketplace area there but I didn't indulge in much shopping cos i'm in a Not Trying To Obtain More Video Games kind of era. I did however purchase a few small items which you could say are in character for me

Eugene Jarvis was one of the guests & he gave a super interesting & entertaining 2 part talk about his career. here he is talking about his true masterpiece Target Terror, the game where you shoot live-action non-racially-stereotyped terrorists in the balls to stop 9/11 2

i didn't take many pictures inside the expo itself cos it was busy & i was busy but they had a lot of cool stuff there. i got to play on a real life super a'can for the first time!!! speedy dragon is.. well it's impressive for an AV Artisan game but unfortunately not that great to play

the hotel even had its own small arcade! many of the machines in there were even working! i won this red panda from a crane machine & my friend won me the handheld it's sitting on from a key master. the pool table had no cues and only like half of the balls

I accidentally killed someone that I didn't mean to kill & since I only just started this thing I'm starting over. New guy new hair more careful with his sword hopefully

Playing one of these for the first time

messing around with deluxe paint 4 just like i did when i was a small child except i swear more now

Harry Pursey's predecessor in parliament was GEORGE MUFF
And his successor was John Prescott, who for all his many notable qualities was not blessed with an amusing pubic hair-related name

He also evacuated a load of seamen from Lesbos in the First World War

So who was Harry Pursey? Well he was a former MP for East Hull who before that had been a naval officer who began his career as a boy seaman on the HMS Impregnable

didn't end up going this way when i was in hull on the weekend but i found out this pub that used to be a wetherspoons near where i used to live is now called the Hairy Pussy I mean the Hairy Pursey I mean the Harry Pussy I mean

I'm back home and I'm tired as fuck but here's another thing I bought in Hull. It's a t-shirt from Beasley's which is a cool independent shop selling new and vintage clothes. Used to go there all the time as a student & was glad to see they're still going strong. Shout out to them
