The following message involves a diverse range of topics that I feel it is my duty as Emperor to tell you.
Firstly, my 12:00 University lesson, one which I despise, has been cancelled. Excellent.
Also of note is when I was walking back I went into HMV. Now I always walk past it on my way to University but so far have resisted the temptation to go inside and squander all my money on electronic devices. However, with the doors wide open and time to spare I ventured in.
They had a 'retro' section.
Or in other words a horde of old, defunct and on the whole physically grubby games. Not only Dreamcast and N64 but real retro. Im talking Sega Saturn and Mega Drive as well as SNES. After considering whether to waste my precious funding on £30.00p for Super Smash Bros. on the Nintendo 64 a little gem caught my eye. Like the wooden cup that Jesus drank from in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. You know, where the German dude drinks from the gold one and ages away instantaniously? Anyway, this little gem was none other than, get this, a Sega Master System 'cartridge'. I almost exploded.
It was called, and I quote from the box, 'Great Golf'. Well there is nothing great about it, apart from its EXTREME retro appeal. So, I stood there in the shop staring at 'Great Golf' deciding whether it was worth the 99p I would have to spend on it. I figured I could go without lunch for another day running. So I brought it. I tried not to laugh as I put it on the counter. It took the bloke at the till about 10 minutes to get over his surprise that anyone still had a Master System and took another 10 minutes trying to get the damn thing through the barcode reader. I handed him one British pound and got one British penny in change along with my receipt, which he insisted was in the bag. Indeed it was.
I don't have my Master System with me so I am going to keep hold of the game and give it to my younger brother as a birthday or possibly Christmas gift.
Also, for those of you who don't know who I am, look at my current tag, for you shall see that I was once Emperor Xerxes. But due to legal reasons and a need to add more clout to my name, I changed it to the far more impressive Bob. All hail me.
Finally, tomorrow is 11/11, Rememberence Day. Let us all make sure that tomorrow we remember the ultimate sacrifices those men and women made during the bloodiest conflicts in the history of humanity; World War I and World War II, that means both sides. Futhermore, let our thoughts be with those who are still fighting today, in Iraq and elsewhere in the world, both British and otherwise.
That will be all, my good people.

Bound to... though the last time I looked, it was mostly made up of film soundtracks. That area is huge.

OH...DEAR...GOD.
This Friday I am going to go to this 'Mega Virgin Store' of which you speak and purchase myself some ancient games. I wonder if they will have 'Super Soccer'...

Mock me and you shall suffer my wrath. And for those interested here is the write-up, directly quoted from the back of the box:
''You'll need nerves of steel for this course. Because shrewd thinking and raw talent are your only allies in this calculating competition.''
Yes...quite.

By the way, I think the Virign Megastore in city centre has a retro section. Posters, soundtracks, stuff like that.

Oh, on my way home I realised that the HMV was, in fact, a Blockbuster.
