Classic games - golden axe is on one my favourites. Got sufficiently good at it back in the day that I was able to one credit complete it in an arcade in Filey in the early 90s. Unfortunately that was the peak of my gaming achievements and it's been a slow decline ever since. You shouldn't be able to make it through in one credit. 'hit for hit' Retribution for accidental friendly fire between you and your mate should use at least a credit's worth of lives if you're playing it properly. |

Had to give up in the end. |

Mrs Fark and I are occasionally dipping into Megadrive Golden Axe and friendly fire is indeed an issue. The shoulder barge move is the best tactic for against Death Adder's evil fiends. We have Golden 2 and 3 as well, but have yet to try.

I think my cousin was wasting his money on Pit-Fighter at that point and we had already messed up on TMNT or the Simpsons due to retribution shenanigans. My brother and I once messed Streets of Rage by selecting different options before the final boss, leading to a fight to the death between us in game. I won but was promptly bumped off by the final boss. |

Other causes of friction in streets of rage included someone eating one of those roast chicken they found in a phonebox when they had full health and you needed it, and 'calling the police' by mistake anywhere other than against the boss (usually on an empty screen). |

Continue / weapon stealing and inadvertently throwing you off the lift as well. I could probably write a book about the number of things that could cause me rage in old-school gaming. |

Watched Birdman, not my usual sort of movie. There is a bit when Birdman is shouting at the camera about people loving explosions etc rather than philosophical movies.
My partner at the end said "thats a night Im not getting back"
In fairness I had made her watch Resident Evil Apocalypse before it.
I enjoyed Birdman, The bit were Birdman says he isnt too old to make a come back movie had me thinking.
Tim Burton, Keaton, Dark Knight Returns.
Why not.

Afternoon Boxers
Games - None. Mrs gongfarmer is redecorating, and so has commandeered the 'man-cave' to dump the entire contents of her wardrobes and units. I am a man bereft of toys. #Feelmypain
In other news, apparently Milk is essentially creamy heroin. Milkmen are worse than dealers. Cows are basically kingpins of their own internal-drug cartels. This from the same article that claims the best chat-up line is “HEllO Old crOnE, OnE wOuld lOvE tO dO sEx On yOu, yEs?”
Also the dog is vomiting..... This could be a Valentines day to remember

Afternoon, this morning I went for an interview for a job I do not need nor particularly want. However, I’ve also had the offer come through for the job I went for a few weeks ago. Huzzah! Everything’s coming up Scubar.

No time for lunch today, but compensated for this with a chilli paneer curry from our favourite vegeterian Indian snack outfit. This curry was mine, all mine as Mr Enemy's lactose intolerance is incompatible with the pure ghee from the holy cow (and the paneer). So he had the holy cow in form of a steak pie. I (mostly) finished Breath of the Wild at the weekend and I didn't feel like starting a big, demanding game, so I started playing Mario & Rabbids Kingdom Battle because I felt that it is something that can be played in short bursts. Unlike other people I like the rabbids as they appeal to my simpleton toilet humour. Speaking of which, I still love this ad for the game. I also found out yesterday that the Champions' Ballad DLC for Breath of the Wild has more dialogue hidden in it than I had so far uncovered, but it's hidden behind a repetitive task that I can't go into because of spoilers. Someone public spirited put everything on YouTube, and I really liked the portrayal of the Champions' attitudes towards their diaries that Link can read (I paraphrase): Daruk: hey buddy, you should read my journal Urbosa: please show my diary to princess Zelda Revali: I didn't write any of that Mipha: DON'T TOUCH IT Ah, poor Mipha. |

If you’re not having nutella on your pancakes you might as well just throw yourself off Clifton suspension bridge, you’ve clearly given up on life.
