Hello.
Off to MrsC's folks today for a few days as her sister & fam are coming up. I'm back tomorrow evening as i need to worv Mon/Tue.
Games! Started Watchdogs as I was given the second one for free so thought I better play it first.
Rise of the Tomb Raider. Got to where I was on gamepass before it got pulled - just arrived at the Russian base.
TV. Some I heart 1981 show where I lipsynced to every song they played.
OTTM. Grabbed my aeropress from the office when I was in this week as a quick alternative to firing up the machine.

Morning chumps!
TVblog: Sherlock (well, it was on in the background while I poked around on my phone).
Then onto Community, featuring the "Ass-crack bandit". Good ep.
Gamesblog: none on the PS4. Plenty on the Amiga! Doom, Breathless, Gloom, AB3D, AB3D2TKG, Genetic Species, Trapped 2, The Shadow of the Third Moon, Napalm. All of the games.

Still no Syndicate or Cannon Fodder? For shame amipal. For shame. I've been sitting on some very expensive and powerful hardware since February* - this week was finally my chance to get it installed. Hence the games in question. I will do episodes on Syndicate and Cannon Fodder, probably as developer-specific focus. *it was uncomfortable. |

Games: a little NP2 Food: not much Health (sort of): at effing last pain is retreating. Yesterday morning's treatment was agonizingly painful ... it also looks like I've broken my little toe. No wonder it's been screwing up what I laughingly call my night's sleep - add to that the customary damage of my other wounds. We were also able to get the battery into my scales and I'm 12st 3lbs (77kg in modern weight) at 6'1". Down from 16st 10lb in December ... then last night started with waking every 40m until 6 hrs ago, so I am going to have to keep "sleeping". Even now.. This is how my very very few visitors look, including my hairdresser! |

So after a month away from Animal Crossing I decided to give my rock farming another try this week - and finally got all six rocks to spawn, if not in an exact grid, close enough together for me to extend my zen rock garden around them.
If anyone has a spare Easter Island head, I’d love one.
Still waiting on PaperMario - as it was only sent first class, I doubt I’ll get it until Monday. Speaking of post, I ordered a moss pole from Hong Kong at the start of lockdown, it only arrived on Friday.
This week I also got the expansion for Journeys in Middle-earth, so I’m keen to get my Balrog on. Although I read a great comment, that to get the model to fit in the box a user suggested cutting its wings off and bringing it in line with the actual books.

You may gather my bastard neighbours are foiling my sleep plans by having the 5th Amateur Power Tools weekend, by 'bubbling' yet more of their extended family. Noisy inconsiderate* cunts.
*And yes they are indeed blocking my drive again |

Sun, beer, power tools and invited anyone I've ever known over. Who needs this lockdown malarky anymore?
It'll all be over by Christmas eh?

amipal here's a new co-host, who can occasionally do vlogs on the B.U.M. Spektros Phantom, and deal with those Q&A sessions:

Games: Rise of the Tombraider. Its a bit shit isn't it. A game consisting of 90% quick time events. A perfect example of " things were better in my day". Garbage. OTTM: some ruins for my fantasy horror game  |

Sorry I have been so silent, but somebody's been wrong on the internet: www.theguardian.com/games/2020/jul/16/the-25-greatest-video-game-consoles-ranked#comment-142355227I did not want to join the console wars but they made me. In other news, Animal Crossing and I finally caught the &!@*% scarab beetle during its unreasonable hours. Still no luck with the #@*%& cicada shell, apparently they spawn more frequently (as opposed to not at all) in the rain and my island has been basking in sunshine for a long time. |

So it all comes down to the last game of the season.
If Boro lose again and Luton, Charlton and Birmingham all win; Wigan win their appeal against their points deduction, and Sheffield Wednesday get away without a points deduction, we are relegated.
Hmmm, I wonder what the odds are?

Hmmm, I wonder what the odds are? The odds of Birmingham winning are very slim, that much I know. |
