The last on my COVID Lockdown retro gaming list is another Spectrum favourite, 180 by Mastertronic.

RANDOMIZE USR

If anything ever really offered a true representation of the randomness of my life it's been these last few weeks.

Vaping ...

It all started with a loose 510 connector on my Vaporesso Target Pro. The tank kept getting a wobble on so I stripped the base down to find the 510 connector is a "pop-on" type. I wasn't going to open it up every other week to pop the connector back on so I decided to order…
