Hi all! Contrary to popular belief, I am alive and well.
I didn't think people would notice I'd deleted my account, at least not straight away.. I'm touched. I hope to be back soon.
I've had a triple whammy with my health, relationship and job all breaking down in the past few months which I've had a hard time processing.
Oh, I also turned 30.
4 stars.

Wait till their party is over and they are crashed out. Then put your music on full bung.
Hello.
Games. Wee bit of switch. Botw, trials.
Then TD2 later on. Me and my pal did a couple of missions on challenging with a random. Canadian bloke. Seemed nice enough. Didn't seem to know toolio.
Just had leftover meatloaf as part of lunch. It was great but I'm now realising it should have formed part of a toastie with a bit of chilli jam.

Bloggie!
Scenes.
Obviously my 'like' is for you showing up and commenting. Not the life going to pot part. That would just be cruel. I'm not Shenguin.
{Edit}And I need you for the raid in TD2.

Well, if you ever need sympathy, kind advice, or just a place to chill, we're here for you bro. Stay strong man, stay strong.
Edit: is he the one that goes on about ass snakes and suchlike, or the one that flounced after getting bullied by a five year old girl throwing stones?

Sceenzz! He is the resurrection and he is the life.
Games! Resi2. Shenguin continues to follow me around. He's one mean mofo. Think I'm not far from exiting the police station now. So long pigs!
Food! Preparing a cottage pie. Potatoes peeled and in water. Beef mince*, onion, carrots, oxo, s&p bubbling nicely. I'm considering throwing in a few frozen peas cos I'm a maverick who breaks the rules but gets results. To be served with cheat yorkshires and cabbage.
OTTM! Gonna watch wolves/villa then pool/city. All the footy.
*oooh mince.

One has to wonder sometimes whether Shenguin is Shenguin or a bot! not an evil bot that's doing Mr.Tiddles job for him, but a grumpy old man bot from the 1980's with a post 60's-70's drug induced 10 year hangover and a balding mullet bitching about the youth of the day! |

Bloggie lives! Sorry to hear of your woes. I hope you will find a return to chatting about games, television, and petty pedantry to be therapeutic.

Welcome (temporarily) back Bloggie, hope the life stuff sorts itself out.
Lunch, perfectly cooked sirloin steak, mushrooms, peas and some spectacularly bland potato croquettes from M&S 4*

Speaking of petty pedantry, I'm pretty sure drill/rap style reggae is not a thing.
Games - death stranding. He's really gone for it this time the mad bastard. It's literally a walking simulator, but with a completely ridiculous plot, absolutely no subtlety whatsoever. I think my favourite thing about it is the character names, that are seemingly trying to be clever but are just so ham fisted and plain stupid that every time someone's name is revealed it gets a genuine loud out laugh out of me.

Bloggie! Happy to hear from you, sorry to hear that you've been having a hard time. Though turning 30 is nothing to be worried about. I wish I could turn 30 again. Destry Worrying indeed. Hopefully the cat is just hiding somewhere and will come back as soon as it thinks the coast is clear. Our cats were both house cats so they had no choice but to agree on an uneasy truce but when they were younger we often had the fur flying. OTTM: So far the only election literature we've had is that of our Labour MP Steve McCabe. His campaign slogan is apparently #StickWithSteve. Catchy. He's one of the good guys, so we will. Games: More Luigi's Mansion 3 and the more I'm seeing of this game the more I like it. One of the boss battles really kept me on my toes and then I found a secret room where a certain horror film trope plays out and it's handled brilliantly. I can't say more because of spoilers but there's a real question how many players are actually ever going to find this little Easter egg. Other on-screen entertainment: This morning Mr Tent Rooster and I were watching a YouTube video of Seth Meyers's Late Night Show. It was preceded by an advert that showed a pink pod-like doodah in between footage of many rather tense looking women rolling around in silk sheets. I had no clue about what was being advertised until finally the slogan "clitoral bliss" made the penny drop. I'm used to YouTube ads being adults only but to me this was a new one. I bet it's a tricky one to create an ad for. |

Isn't the main dude called Dave Walker-Bridgebuilder or something? |

I think my favourite thing about it is the character names, that are seemingly trying to be clever but are just so ham fisted and plain stupid that every time someone's name is revealed it gets a genuine loud out laugh out of me. When Death Stranding released its first trailer I thought that it might be the game that would force me to finally get a PS4. Now that it's actually out my backlog has become unconscionable and the PS5 is on the horizon and most likely will be backwards compatible. So instead I'm watching Tim Rogers videos * on Death Stranding (he's got a nice tips & tricks one that I would regard as spoiler free although it comes with a large spoiler warning). I'm sure in the months and years to come someone will spoil the story for me, but walking simulator with ridiculous plot (plus over-the-top cut scenes, I suppose?) sounds right up my alley. *Tim Rogers getting hired by and producing videos for Kotaku is one of the best things that ever happened. I recently watched his hour long detailed discussion of the Xbox Elite Controller 2 although I have no Xbox and no interest in that controller. |

Good news. The cat has been found. Or more accurately he just wandered in from his hiding place upstairs. Some 12 hours after his fight. He's very wary of his brother though, so must have taken a bit of a beating.
We've gone to the pub to celebrate his safe return. No doubt we'll return home to find there's been a rematch.

It’s Sam Porter Bridges. Son of Bridget Strand. I want to give him the benefit of the doubt and say Bridget isn’t meant to be read as “Bridge it” but...
