What a week, huh? (one for 30 Rock fans there) Morning all. I see The Guardian has a massive Corbyn/antisemitism thing on the front page. Are the BBC still the bad guys? TVblog - a bit of Z Nation (it is very silly), second episode of Final space (getting better), and War of the Worlds (much better). Gamesblog - yes! Got Doom working on my Amiga 1200. Yes, Doom, the original Doom. Runs okay with my 68030-accelerator (equivalent to a 386), but would be better with a graphics card. OTTM - I am no longer poisoned... I think... MrTiddles! If you want to sort out your "tract", have some roasted sweet potato, red pepper, and cannelloni beans. Toot! |

Rare post from me to comment on some games. Played the new Modern Warfare, was ok. Finished the campaign and got rid, multiplayer was pretty terrible. Now playing through Fallen Order, which started off pretty good but gets boring fairly quickly. The whole game seems to revolve around combat, which isn’t quite up to scratch. They should just go the whole hog and give From Software the Star Wars licence.
Both 4 stars.

Ganes is it?
Mario Odyssey. Jumped about a bit. Did the sand world, now I'm off somewhere else. It's ok I guess.

Book chat: Northern Lights. Got to the bit where that thing happens, and that character ends up in that place. I'm going to finish it before watching any more of the tv show, so I can complain about it from a more informed position.

I have found that eating a couple of out-of-date cashew nuts with your meal is beneficial. For maximum effect, at least 6 months. Chewy. OTTM: Had 4 beers last night, feelin' shabby. |

I see your 4, and raise you 7. Including a 9% heavy IPA.
Feeling suspiciously ok.

Raise to 7 or raise by 7?
If you had 11 beers including a 9% IPA the main reason you feel good this morning is you are still pissed.
My advice is you need to be in the pub by 10.55.
Or to have a t least a 35 cl bottle of schnapps in your other desk drawer (the one that doesn't have wine in it).

Looks like the protesters got their way. Rhodes has fallen.
Bad day to be a colossus.

Raise to 7, fortunately. I am working in Amsterdam this week though, so will be out again tonight as it's either that or sit in my hotel room twiddling my thumbs*
*a euphemism

Well a little schmoke at work should keep you level.
I can recommend pints of a 7% Dutch beer I once had in De Hems. It was very nice. I have very little memory of the evening and the next day was gruesome.

Also you need to understand how the light system works. Though I'm sure a man of your wit and sophistication is familiar with it. It doesn't sound like your first visit to the 'dam.

I'm not sure I've fully recovered from my last visit to Amsterdam, and that was 10 years ago.

I had 5 pints last night and I also feel incredibly perky and not 5 pints bad this morning. Have we uncovered some kind of phenomenon or conspiracy? Maybe there are strange fluctuations in the Earths Magnetic field or something.

I got an email helpfully telling me that "19 items from your Steam wishlist are on sale!", which was nice.

I am tempted by Bloodstained. Looks decent.
I thought Obra Dinn was incredibly dull, but that may be down to my need for instant gratification, and terrible attention span.

Hi all. Except you.
We played Container last night, which is a game about international shipping and such. I did not win, but I was the first loser ie second.
I also did not sleep a wink last night and today I feel like human garbage, more so than usual anyway.
Message ends.

Nearly bought a laptop last night.
0% interest for some reason quickly became 19%. Hmmm. It really shouldn't have.
Phoned them this morning and told them to fuck off with their shady business practices. Will buy on credit card and transfer to card 2 for 0%
Games. No.
TV. Mr Robot
Work. Yes. Fuck it.
