The Weekly Retro Movie Rundown 207

Sweet jumping jacks and pick-up-sticks! It's another retro movie weekend! All over again!

With another landscape of retro movie awesomeness stretching before us, we find ourselves at a loss of where to start! Will it be thriller? Will it be comedy? Only the overlord of the remote control can decide with their entrusted powers. Whatever the mighty one decides, with the huge array of choice and wonder available, we will be left wide-eyes and wanting more.

Have a happy retro weekend!

The Weekly Retro Movie Rundown 206

Sweet pumpkin pie! Can it be? But how the....? So soon? Yep.... another retro movie rundown is HERE!

Like a herd of stampeding buffalo, we find ourselves once again steaming head-first at full speed into another weekend of movie greatness. In a blind panic, we'll steam through everything in our paths as we battle and fight our way to the front of the group. Leaving nothing but duct and destruction behind us, we'll stop for only the very best retro movies that are before us as we pause to enjoy their celluloid wonder.

Have a happy retro weekend!

The Weekly Retro Movie Rundown 205

Deal of the day! Another retro movie weekend is officially here and boy oh boy are we excited!

Travelling through the streets and local fields like a lost squirrel searching for the buried nuts left many months before, we find ourselves glued to our trusty screen as we roam the lands in search of mystical creatures and the all important XP. We'll climb hills, brave the shores and perhaps even make a few friends along the way.

Have a happy retro weekend!

TruffleShuffle's Top Tips For Pokémon GO!

So it's official, Pokémon GO is here, and...well... it is absolutely HUGE. Like bigger than the Death Star big! Frankly, if you're not using your phone to walk around and catch virtual creatures in your area we have no idea why you even have a phone!

With so much buzz surrounding this groundbreaking AR adventure game (for those who never discovered Ingress at least), it seems Pokémon is right back at the top of the pile and bigger and better than ever. Talk about a comeback! From battling it out on our trusty Game Boy colour back in the day to talking stats and evolutions with friends down the pub, Pokémon has always brought people together and turns out is still as cool as ever.

Now it's back in our lives in style, we figured we would pop together some really cool and useful tips that we have picked up along the way. Who knows they might just give your game a little boost! For free! Sit back and check out our Top Tips for Pokémon Go!

You can grab Pikachu as your starter Pokémon

Yep believe it! Pretty much THE face of the entire Pokémon empire, Pikachu can be grabbed right from the get go. Perhaps not so useful for all you eager players out there already catching your way through the levels, but as a new player when you're asked by the Professor to catch you very first Pokémon you will be met with some old faces including Charmander, Squirtle and Bulbasaur. However! If you walk away from them (literally walk away), and continue to walk away from them until your phone vibrates the three classic stater Pokémon will appear again. Walk away again, and repeat 3 to 5 times and eventually Pikachu should appear.

The Weekly Retro Movie Rundown 204

Pitch a tent and light a fire! Another retro movie weekend had arrived!

Finding juuuuust the right spot to set up base camp, we find ourselves thrown into the wilderness once again as we begin another weekend of outdoor adventure. Unfolding plastic sheets, thumping in (and inevitably bending) tent pegs, sourcing a water supply and of course....blowing up the air bed, we're all set for another adventure in the great British countryside. Will it rain? Will be blow away? Or perhaps will we just attract more bugs than a picnic in a busy swamp? Only time will tell.

Have a happy retro weekend!
