Chatterbox Monday

Yippee another week at work!

I helped the minutemen get to Sanctuary on Fallout 4 and watched a film about two American guys bickering over a amputated foot.

Morning all!

@trainwoes commiserations! Train drivers get a lot of slack in those kind of situations- if you actually kill someone it's a year off full pay I believe. Not that I blame them, I saw someone get bit my a train when I was younger and it was horrific.

@gamesblog - conchord this is mainly for you, I am a goner. Restarted stardew and it's clicked this time. Now I've paid attention and started the community quests and foraged etc. I'm pretty much already where I was in mid spring where I got to in my first game by winter. It's really got it's claws in. Cracking game.

I also managed to recover enough to play football on saturday, really wish I didn't bother. We were the only match playing due to the weather and we lost 10-0. Scenes.

Hello all.

@trainwoes
Nearly went on my hole at Glasgow central. Something slippy - food possibly - at edge of platform. More importantly I thru my coffee in the air and lost half of it.

Games:
After the GTA chat last night I fired it up. Bawbags in the lobby so I just went racing for a bit. Came out of that and had a quiet room so sold a couple of high end cars I had stashed.

TV:
Spiral. Knew that was going to bite Gilou in the ass.

Just to be clear, I was sympathising if someone had actually been hit. not in your situation. He'll be at home with a cup of tea on no time.

Crank. Firstly - Spiral. I do love this show, Gilou is a, what’s the French, tosser.

I’ve a DS - it doesn’t see much action, other than the odd JRPG.

It's a weathered leather bound tome and its many entries are done so in India Ink by the finest quill.

I love a bit of Spiral. The biggest problem I have is that I mostly watch telly while painting or building so its hard to keep up since my French is, as they would say, bollocks.

Games: GT Sport.

Saturday: grp 1 race at Interlagos. Raced there 9 times. Got pole 6 times, won 6 times (4 in a row too), though one of them was from second place. I was on one with that car and track, really locked in.

Sunday: There was something hinky with their servers yesterday. Couldn't log in initially, then got disconnected before the first race.
Nothing of real note to report. Qualified 12th and finished 7th in a grp 3 race, a very fair race too, lots of close racing and no bumper cars.

Work: im here in body, but ive already checked out spiritually

One of us, one of us. . .

Cracking game, glad you're enjoying it. Don't forget to check the TV each day, you don't want to miss one recipe to stop you getting plat! It's almost enough to put you off going for it.

Morning!

Weekend taken up switching between housework, VR and Monster Hunter, the latter two being sublime. Have a few games and 'experiences' for the VR now, along with the move controllers, and it continues to impress. If Monster Hunter wasn't out I'd likely have spent most of my weekend looking like knob with a glowy helmet*. 

Monster Hunter has been great so far. I really need to focus on progressing the story though if I want to get the Horizon Palico armour. Currently rank 4 and just opened up the third area. Failed a couple of quests due to a combination of having to kill every big monster I find and using the criminally under powered Kinsect Glaive. Time being the biggest issue. 


*Aside from the usual just looking like a knob

Morning all,

This weekend I stuck an article up on my webiste about beards in antiquity. Wordpress is attracting more traffic than I am used to, most of the comments have been very nice (couple spam ones). Awaiting the invariable nasty ones though. Every time I see a 'comment for moderation' I tremble.

In other news, played more Skyrim, looking to get all the Daedric artefacts. Almost got smithing up to 90 so I can craft some decent armour. If you an archer and, like me, examine where your arrows end up then you might like this. Took down a bandit from mid range and he had an arrow in each eye. It's the detail I love.

I have a day off (couldn't be arsed with work, so I pulled the old "I nearly hit someone with my train" trick and the union rules mean I get to sit at home sipping tea) so I'm going to spend all day writing horrible things about Scam's blog. That'll learn him to show weakness.

My sympathy is with the train driver. I'm pretty certain a near miss could properly shit you up. Having Melvazord shouting at you straight afterwards is almost certainly enough to tip you over the edge.

Personally I'd rather public transport drivers, even on fixed rail systems, are not nervous wrecks.

I bet it's really easy to drive a train, it's basically scalextrics isn't it? You slow down or stop when needed and press go occasionally. I also bet they spend most of the journey lazily browsing their smart phones whilst glancing up every now and then to check the signals. You could probably get a Polish guy to do it for £18k a year without problems.
