I've seen Detective Pikachu in the cinema. The Citizen Kane of films. I cried at one point.
Games! I have now won two out of two games of Auto Chess. The truely sage of chesses among all this chatterboxer. I admit I have hardly any idea what I'm doing but its only just come out on the iPhone so its like shooting fish with a shotgun. Both barrels. Also thinking about finally going back ti Zelda, as I got stuck ages ago and couldn't figure out where to go next, and it was getting quite difficult. I tried doing the giant electric camel thing and the boss was really hard so now trying to find the area in the top left.
~nyone looking fore word to that Xbox thing this evening? I'll be tickled if they announce anything for the Switch at it. Maybe a glimpse of Xbox Two as well?!

This year I was getting so used to the idea that E3 is something that's still ahead that I completely forgot that it has started. No Keza & Keef live show this year? I think the Observer mods don't like working evenings. |

Timed, but if I recall correctly you can allow up to 3 days per move. You set the parameters in the invite. EDIT: Apparently you can set it up for a max of 14 days per move. |

* She then explained to me it's called a knight |

Auto Chess is basically not Chess at all except it plays on a 8 by 8 board.
That Xbox stream was disappointing, no Ori on Nintendo, didn't seem like they showed any of the actual games being played but just pre-rendered CG instead, pretty dull.

There's a Chess website; unsurprisingly it's called chess.com. Several of us are members though few play regularly. Rivaldo is a bloody good player who hands my arse to me when I play him. Socky, Destry and I are al mediocre to reasonable, but error prone. Trunkles plays regularly. I am still mainlining Age of Wonders 3 and Neptune's Pride 2; in the latter, since the beginning of the year: 9 played and 6 won, which is pretty good. Current record status attached. And my avatar is my current AoW3 leader. There, that was boring wasn't it...  |
