RIP Patrick Moore who died yesterday age 89.

Though he wrote over 60 astronomy books, for many people including me who were teens in the 90s they will mostly remember him as the titular "Gamesmaster" in the UKTV channel 4 show. His priceless advice to people's computer game related problems were legendary. My fave pearl of wisdom from memory was when he said something like "What? You don't know how to beat the final boss in Super Mario World on the SNES? That's disgraceful I refuse to answer such an easy question-go away!"

RIP
