TMA 289 – Original Mat Seal of Quality
On this week’s episode Tom’s been playing more Sonic Frontiers, diving into the history of Artoon and exploring the world of Full Metal Alchemist, while Mat’s finally embraced the digital cat life with Stray, enjoyed and hated different games in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga collection, and wet his appetite with the demo of Like A Dragon: Ishin. On top of that, the boys talk the latest Nintendo Direct, Fortnite and a whole lot more!
NOTE: There is an issue with Tom’s audio in this episode, hope it’s still listenable enough. Tom wasn’t aware that he wasn’t recording with his usual mic and instead the mic had defaulted to the built in one. Oops!

Lawless 2022 - Gallery of Original Art
Lawless 2022 had a gallery of original comic art and other illustrations. Classic pieces that formed the pages of the comics that entertained generations of children (young and old). Curated by artist Graham Bleathman who had brought pieces from his collection. BP's own Neil brought a few of his own so it is with some pride we present our record of this temporary but still glorious of exhibition spaces.

Wallace & Gromit BUILD YOUR OWN KITS - London Toy Fair 2023
If someone said cheese would you think of an onion or just smile? Well if you were a fan of Aardman Animation's Wallace & Gromit it would definitely be the latter.
So imagine Neil's enthusiasm that he returned to The Toy Fair 2023 in order to revisit the stand of Paper Engine. A company with a fine line in STEM paper and card kits that happened to be unveiling a series Wallace & Gromit build your own models.
So please watch and maybe like(?) Neil's video where he is given a tour of the Toy Fair stand by Geff Newland, Paper Engine's creative director, and they both forget the title of the third outing of the Wallace & Gromit series...
