I would just like to wish all 57,000+ visitors that stopped by the site this year a very Happy New Year and may all the luck in the world come your way in 2023!
This site has had a great year, thanks to each and every one of you and I fully intend for it to keep moving in the same direction for 2023!
To all our users and visitors – have a very Merry Christmas 2020 – enjoy this ‘Locked Down’ Christmas as much as you can, hopefully it will be a ‘one off’, and just a Chapter in the history books!
Just to bring a little Christmas cheer TBNI.Blog have released the 2020 TBNI.Blog Christmas T-Shirts. Available only until 6th January 2021 there are two variants, the traditional men’s T-shirt and then the female crew neck tee.
I’m sure you’ll agree the designs are ‘subtle,’ but remember it’s just for fun.
Disclaimer : A small amount from each T-Shirt sold goes to the upkeep of this site – in the case of the Limited Edition Christmas T-Shirts the cut that goes to the site is £2.09 – the remainder goes to the supplier – teemill.
As soon as Christmas Eve kicks off (in Samoa and Christmas Island) Santa gets busy to get all the presents delivered to all the people of the world.
If you are lucky the Santa might be brining you a new bike, bike parts or if not it may be a bag of coal for you!
Whatever you hope for and where ever you are I wish you a very Merry Christmas and I hope Santa is good to you.
To make things easy for you I have spoken to NORAD and Santa and TBNI / T80GSA will be live streaming Santa and his trip around the globe. So if you need to know where he is, maybe to get the kids off to sleep, or maybe to get your overly excitable other half to bed we’ll be right here keeping you all up to date from the early hours of Christmas Eve.
Just a very quick note to all TBNI.Blog visitors to wish you a very happy, safe and prosperous new year, may 2019 shine gracefully upon you!
And whilst we take the time to wish each other a Happy New Year please keep a little place in your heart to remember those who never made to 2019. Rest in peace.
Playstation 4 Pro 500 Million Limited Edition Pre-Order Problems: If you are a keen gamer there is a good chance you found yourself in the position hundreds of us found ourselves yesterday and today. That is without a Sony Playstation 4 Pro 500 Million Limited Edition Console.
What is a Sony Playstation 4 Pro 500 Million Limited Edition?
Basically it is a special edition Playstation 4 Pro that celebrates the fact that Sony have now sold 500,000,000 Playstation consoles. They have limited this edition to a mere 50,000 units globally making it actually pretty limited. Limited of course means desirable to gamers, and unfortunately desirable to gamers means desirable to scalpers, or as I will refer to them from this point onwards – scumbags.
What’s so special about it?
To be honest thats a difficult question. You can regularly and easily pick up a PS4 Pro for about £300 in a bundle. This edition is £450, but comes with a camera, an upgraded 2TB hard drive and is housed in an awesome looking translucent blue case, each one individually numbered. If you don’t understand the appeal then this probably isn’t the article for you and you’d be best just moving on to the next one. If you do get it, or at least think you get it, have a look at this – I’m sure you will agree it is special!
I would just like to put a quick note of thanks out there to all my regular visitors, and my new, for popping into the site over the 2018 TT Festival period.
The TT Period is always a busy one for the website but this year’s race week brought unprecedented visitors to the site.

Having got my RetroPie rig up and running I was thoroughly enjoying some retro arcade action. I had everything from an Atari to a NeoGeo, with 1000s of games from my youth all ready to go with the push of a button on my TV.
One thing felt wrong though and that was the controller. I was using a wired xBox / Windows controller. It worked well, plugged it in and it just worked as it should but it just felt wrong. Playing Streets of Rage on a modern xBox controller just didn’t capture the feel. It still played well, it is still an epic retro game, but I’m sure you get what I mean?
Then I decided to change the controller and started looking for an alternative. One that would work well, feel good and actually capture the feel of these older style games. I did a lot of reading on Amazon reviews as well as other sites and they all pointed me towards one brand – 8BitDo.
They have a wide range of controllers and accessories – as you can see mostly geared towards the Nintendo feel of things :
