Thanks for your patience!

Its a good time to be a fan of games that are old. Both the original Quake (well, the remaster) and Worms for the Amiga got expansions this week. I was pretty obsessed with the Quake one when it came out a few years back and I particularly  enjoyed the extra levels provided by Machine Games. This week at Quake Con, they announced a new one ‘Dawn Of The Machine,’ which I shall be getting stuck into today. 

Also, the original creator of Worms - Andy Davidson has just released his original vision of Worms - The Directors Cut for free. It's Amiga only at the moment but I feel that a Windows version is on the way, so I'll wait until then to play it. The original Worms will always be my favourite. The latter games are good but the original art style has stuck with me more. 

“A specially-curated selection of maps and DIY terrain, along with over 50 sample sets lovingly converted from Worms 2, Armageddon and World Party, all to celebrate three decade of Wormery!”

We appreciate its almost on record store day levels of cost but it's just something fun we wanted to do for ourselves and share with anyone else who may be interested. 

I recently found an old draft EP I had uploaded to Bandcamp but never published. It contained two iPhone (other phones are available) recordings of live ROTZ shows pre covid. One is an open mic at the Gladstone and the other is a ‘proper’ gig at The Admiral. 
I didn't have much of a recollection of these shows at first, but slowly details have started coming back to me. From the host going awol in the Gladstone, to the Pizza Me pizza and hecklers at the Admiral. (I wish my phone captured more of this! Apparently I start playing 3 Lions, which really winds them up.)

Anyway, this release is more for me. To have an archive of live material from my phone recordings, GoPro cameras, and some of the gigs my friend Dan has been filming over the years. Its nice to look back and be reminded of some of the things we have done, especially in this time before covid and after releasing my EP' The Old Guard. Which was inspired primarily by the 4 year demise of my sanity. Erm, lol. 

More shows will be added here and there.
