 A new service to back up your Gamecube games for installing on WiiU


I like to play my Gamecube games on my WiiU but I don't like having to swap discs in and out. 

I'm collecting everything for the future and don't want the extr wear and tear. 

It's perfectly legal to run your games off a backup, as long as you keep your original disk, but not everyone has the skills to 'rip' their Gamecube disc.


I'm offering a service where you can send me the wii disc and I will send it back to you with a copy of it on USB stick. Ready to install on Wii U.

The service costs £12 GBP plus postage and by contacting

[PLAYLIST] IS THIS THE BEST KEYBOARD RIFF, EVER?

I have a confession, I love keyboard and synth riffs. They make my world go round. Ever since I was a kid I had a tune in my head and when I heard a synth lead in a music track it just used to captivate me.



My aim is to make a playlist of the best riffs.

Playlist:

My favourites?
#1 Party Fears Two - The Associates
WARNING - the synth riff that comes in within the first minute will eat your brain!
#2 Paris Lancashire - Mairk
ALERT - this synth riff is filled with sadness and longing

Your favourites?
I've already had a couple of suggestions. OK you may suggest "Jump - Van Halen" or "The Final Countdown - Europe" but that's everyone's favourite. I want your personal choice.



Let me know and I will add them to the playlist.

The story behind '89


 

'89 is releasing on 15th July 2021 featuring Mairk and Stacey James. This track has an interesting back story. The original track was written by Mark N Hopgood for a fictitious 80s band "Snaps" which was imagined as an 80s version of Steps. The working title was 'Hi 5' about a lost love.



Mark sent the track to Rachel M Starr, international lyricist for consideration who came back with '89 which Mark then crafted into a duet with Stacey James.

Are we now in the tip economy?

Tip Jar



The gig economy was a major source of income for some before 2020 with mini jobs or gigs being promoted such as Uber drivers, Deliveroo riders and of course Fiverr, where you could find a person who would do anything for a small fee! These gigs or small one of jobs were a way of getting a micro service performed.

That sort of dwindled for some sectors in lockdown 2020 where the general economy slowed down. Some industries such as delivery carried on nicely, where goods were still being made, e.g. food. Others who performed real gigs with people ( musicians, choristers, actors ) found their income cut off.

A new type of economy flourished in 2020 where those in work perhaps felt more generous towards people who's industries were eliminated. We started to see artists getting tipped or paid via patreon which allows an artist to collect money for their content. Projektor Digital started a music streaming service which rewarded artists for sharing their work online and a new #TipEconomy was born.

So how can you take advantage of the tip economy? Depends which category you fall into. Check out the 2 ways to get involved below...

Once you have created your wiki page, you can share it with your fans with the following message...
