Back to the Future Episode 5 - Outtatime means the end!

Oh, how I have so loved having Back to the Future back in my life. Not that it ever went anywhere, but fresh material, and most importantly good fresh material has been brilliant. I have already blogged every episode of the TellTale Game revival, and whilst I do not have much more to add now I have completed episode five, it seemed only fair to have a farewell post to complete the set.

Back to the Future Game, parts three and four

Lukeh alerted me to the breaking news that Michael J Fox will be making a cameo voiceover appearance in the final part of this five-part game series, and that made me realise that I hadn’t checked for new episodes on the iPad for a while. Imagine my surprise, then, to find out that both 3 and 4 had arrived without me noticing. I got right on and started playing - I’ve got no major spoilers in here, but don’t read on if you’re saving yourself.

Back to the Future Episode 2

Last time I discussed the Back to the Future game, I was only mildly impressed and mostly happy that they hadn’t ruined everything. I wrote that first post after playing the game for about twenty minutes, and I may have judged it a bit harshly. After the post went up, I picked up the game again and played it right through to the end. I loved it! I couldn’t wait for the second episode to appear.

Back to the Future - The game

I remember watching some Back to the Future extra features where a guy was going around the set finding answers to viewer questions. The final question was from a little kid who went: “Is there ever going to be a Back to the Future 4?” And the guy said no, but Back to the Future would live on in the ride at Universal studios. I was always very disappointed at that answer.

Celebrity Mastermind - Back to the Future edition

Last night, there was a Celebrity Mastermind episode in which one of the contestants chose the Back to the Future trilogy as their specialist subject. Thanks to Alex for pointing this out to me, these questions could have been made for me! As is becoming a bit of a tradition when there’s a subject we know about on Mastermind, I thought I’d gather the questions for others to see how they got on.

Stop asking me the questions

Stop asking me the questions

Here’s a video that my dad found mentioned in one of those computer magazines. It’s always difficult to listen to someone moan about the trials and tribulations of being famous, but if it’s got to be done, you’d want it done this way. I have to say, if I saw Biff and summoned the nerve to speak, I’m pretty sure my first question wouldn’t be: Was it real manure? I’m not sure it would be any of my questions, actually.

Hold your breath, count to... eleven

I recently uncovered a site called 11 Points which compiles top ten lists, but with eleven items. Some of the lists are rubbish, and the site is very garish to behold, but there are some gems to be found. I have always liked top ten lists and similar. The first podcast I subscribed to was Top of the Pods, which is sadly no longer broadcasting. The idea was a simple weekly chat between two guys, counting down random lists, some submitted by listeners.

Five programmes I would like to watch as new

It occurred to me recently that there are a few TV programmes I would like to go back and watch as if new. There are plenty of shows that I need to catch up on, but that’s a different matter. These are episodes I have watched, but would do anything to wipe my mind clean so I can enjoy them all over again. Jonathan Creek. I had the biggest crush on the lovable magician’s assistant when he first appeared on our screens, and I watched the first few series several times over.

The trilogy meter

From Dan Meth: I love this. I don’t watch films extensively, but I have seen quite a few of the above. I think Back to the Future should be all blue, Jurassic Park should start higher, but The Matrix is dead on. What do you reckon?
