Day Ninety-Five: Quick! Save!

Here's my tip of the day: when you're reading a hundred day blog, and you're in the final stretch, don't upset the balance by moving house and having very limited access to a computer. The usual service shall resume tomorrow. In the meantime, here's a short list of recommendations.

Go to the Home of the Underdogs - My favourite abandonware site. It's full of such PC gems as System Shock, Dungeon Master, Stunt Island...and, quite literally, more! All fully downloadable if you can get over the slightly illegal hump and the increasing realisation that it probably won't come to Xbox Live Arcade (although stranger things have happened). A shame it hasn't been updated for over a year - it'd be sad to see it go. It can also subject your computer to horrific pop-ups if your browser software isn't up to date, so be careful.

Listen to the Games for Windows magazine podcast - I spoke about the 1UP Yours podcast a while back. This is from the same publishing company, but with a PC gaming bent. I was prepared to knock this before listening myself because, well, it's a PC gaming podcast, but the team are funny, enthusiastic and able to turn the world of flight sims and RTS games into something interesting. More than that, they have the ability to go off on a bizarre and hilarious tangent at a whim, which makes it all the more listenable.

Or you could listen to the PC Gamer UK podcast - And that's only once a month, so take your time. Rumours of a PC Zone podcast probably aren't unfounded.

Finally, listen to this guy, he knows what he's saying:
