Rich's PS2 £20 Facebook Market Place Pick Up and Clean Up Video [+ Disc Tray Not Opening Fix] 🎮📺 #PS2 #RetroGaming

I've been yearning for a PS2 for some time now and I have been looking on Facebook Marketplace for a while to see if I could pick up a bargain. Very recently I spotted a £20 PlayStation 2 that was being cleared from a garage with no controller, no leads and a memory card. I felt lucky so I ventured into the murky world of FB Market Place and headed out in my car to snare myself a catch. For posterity I decided to capture my process of cleaning her up and getting her working. 

The long term plan is to play more PS2 games and hoover up some discs from the local car boot sale, the short term plan is to buy a controller.

Take a look at my video as I bring my PS2 home and get her settled in:

The game features procedurally generated ruins, ensuring each run is unique, and introduces a torch mechanic, where Rich must escape before his light extinguishes. 🕯️

Rich Plays - Captain Blood on the PC "The Most Fun You Can Have In 2005 in 2025" 🏴‍☠️⚔️🩸 @captbloodgame #IndieGame #GameDev

Rich swash buckles his way into the long awaited Captain Blood which is a pirate-themed action-adventure game developed by SeaWolf Studio and published by SNEG. The game's development journey has been notoriously turbulent. Originally announced in 2003, it was meant to be developed by Akella, known for Sea Dogs and Pirates of the Caribbean. 

However, the project faced multiple restarts, legal disputes, and bankruptcies, leading to years of development hell. It was showcased at E3 2004, but by 2010, the game was effectively cancelled due to financial and legal complications. 

In 2024, publisher SNEG Ltd. acquired the rights and revived the project, leading to its official release on May 6, 2025, across PC, macOS, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch. The game features hack-and-slash combat, ship battles, and a mission-based structure, allowing players to fight enemies on both land and sea.

Hurt Me Plenty: The Ultimate Guide to First Person Shooters 2003-2010 [Rich's REVIEW + Unboxing Video] 📖💥 @bitmap_books #Retrogaming

Hurt Me Plenty: The Ultimate Guide to First-Person Shooters 2003–2010 is the mahoosive 464-page hardcover book follow up to I'm Too Young To Die that explores the evolution of first-person shooters from the years 2003 to 2010. 

I’m Too Young To Die covered FPS games from 1992 to 2002 so it's cool how the new book just picks up the baton from where ITYTD left off. The book features almost 220 FPS games including Call of Duty, DOOM 3, Half-Life 2, BioShock, Crysis, Borderlands, Fallout 3, Left 4 Dead, and Halo 2, alongside some lesser-known titles and experimental shooters.

The book also includes some cool interview chapters with FPS industry legends like Ken Levine (BioShock), Minh Le (Counter-Strike), Tim Willits (DOOM 3), and Jeep Barnett (Portal, Left 4 Dead, Team Fortress 2). The book also explores and discusses FPS trends, such as the rise of multiplayer-only shooters, the impact of digital game distribution, and the shift from WWII settings to modern warfare.

Once again as with all Bitmap Books the book is designed with highest quality printing at the forefront along with the use of special Pantone ink, and an illustrated cover by Ian Pestridge that is Spot varnished and accompanied by a dust jacket highlighting key FPS genre elements against a stunning matte background. As always the book is a must-have for retro gamers and FPS fans.

Higher Speed Internet Will Surely Kill the Traditional Video Game Console [as console prices rise and rise again] 🛜🎮

Will widely available high speed internet kill the traditional video game console?

With the PlayStation 5 and XBOX Series consoles recently being subject to price increases across many territories it got me thinking about how these price increases coupled with tariffs and other market factors are potentially the perfect storm that could see traditional console boxes die and the rise of the streaming cloud services that have traditionally faltered.

It feels so weird that 5 years after the release of the current gen of Xbox and PlayStation consoles that instead of a price drop we are seeing a price increase on a purchase that generally loses money over time. Maybe I should have bought 10 PS5s and sat on them as an asset! 😂
