I’ve been trying to find a running app that is AI driven that, based on a set start/finish point and a few bits of criteria (elevation, terrain) creates a procedural running route that integrates with google maps.

Basically, I want to find new running routes that I can start and finish at my front door that are  sometimes challenging, sometimes a bit more for coasting - but I haven’t found anything close - especially as I don’t want to faff around with manually setting points on a map.

So Doom Eternal continues to be quality and to celebrate that I tried out God of War: Ragnarok which is also great. The only thing that felt off over the first hour I’ve played has been Odin’s voice. 

Everyone bar me is away until Sunday so I’ve decided to give Doom Eternal a go. It’s not exactly a game I can sit and play for hours, just because of the loop and intensity, but for 30 minute bursts, it really hits the spot.

Edit: playing this morning, the loop has changed and now a blend of puzzles and then murder - which feels like a change from Doom 2018 - though it’s been a while since I played it.

I brought the Gameboy Color back to work tonight and this time I have the Everdrive with all out GB and GBC games loaded and I’m playing Super Mario Land DX. It’s just the original GB game with color added. I’ve actually never played this game before. 

I went through a phase where I really wanted to buy a series of ever drive cartridges for my various consoles, but was talked down from that ledge by my wife. 

I mean, I’m not excited (I don’t think I so get excited about games in that way anymore) but I’ll be getting it! 

In an ideal world, the devil in me, but after being woken up at 3.30am and having a day of teaching, kind of hoping to fall asleep on the sofa with Scrubs on. 

We’ve been living that life for the last week. I’m lucky that I don’t hate the fact it’s constantly dark. 

So I’ve bought the following for my wife: Kingdom Come: Deliverance (she’s out about 70 hours into the base game via PS+, but they’ve removed that and replaced it with the GotY version which doesn’t transfer saves) so she can play the DLC, Dark Pictures: The Devil in Me (for us), and also bought her Red Dead Redemption for the Switch. With that in mind, when she gets into RDR, I can either go full noise of Elden Ring, GoW:R or CP2077…

I stand by Great British Menu is the greatest cooking programme ever made and completely eclipses Bake Off.

For other programmes you may like of this is your jam, try Come Dine with Me or if you love wholesome and don’t mind crying, The Repair Shop.

I’d be banking on a cave. 

Posting to show it isn’t me.

Part of me thinks Nintendo won't do BC and put out a release blaming piracy of the reason they didn't do it. 

This is just from memory, but they mentioned a big push about linking accounts and possibly purchases in a more meaningful way. Knowing that, it’ll probably BC in a digital capacity, but anything physical won’t work.

I re-downloaded Rocket League and played a round online. I’m still not as good as I was, but it’s still a great game and one I always miss from my list of top 10/20 games of all time.

If you're referring to the chef movie, it is so good. I was recommending it in the thread for the film The Menu awhile back.

I am, well the series that was made off the back of it.

We’ve been watching Boiling Point and if you’re a fan of tense, we’ll-written, British drama, you’ll love this.

I’ve heard some good things about Aliens

In an ideal world, everyone, but me, would be held back so I could be de facto king.

Yes but we like everyone else. 

For my money, this is the funniest post you’ve made. Cracked me right up 

I mean, is this was anyone else wouldn’t we be reaching out with our concerns over their well-being…

I jumped from the podcast to the song (the reason being it was an ear worm and sometimes you need to feed the worm) and now I can’t unhear what my brain has encoded

After finishing Ratchet and Clank and downloading God Of War Ragnarok onto my PS5, naturally I’ve started playing Sea of Stars.

Time for another rare update:

Fire Emblem: Three Houses

Metroid Prime Remastered

Resident Evil 4 RemakE

Spiderman: Miles Morales

Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart

I've completed all the regional phenomena in TotK, so I’m not ages away from finishing that but I’m deciding what to start next on the PS5:

God of War: Ragnarok 

Cyberpunk 2077

Elden Ring

Literally everything on PS+

The Reckoning - I’ve just watched episode one and it’s so, so bleak.

 

If you aren’t aware of Jimmy Saville, watch the Louie Theroux documentary  (the first one), then read about his life, then watch this. A truly horrible person that was held on such high regard. Another phrase would be ‘a monster hidden in plain sight’.

I’ve been slowly carrying on with this, tricky as my wife doesn’t want to watch it, and it’s continued with the above. It’s hard as I wouldn’t say I like it, purely as the content is horrible, but  it’s well acted and made and they don’t shy away from any inference. It is exploitative, in the same way Spotlight is/was.

I could really go for a) a new remake b) an announcement of a new RE game. 
 

Capcom have been doing so amazingly well with their run post RE7, I do wonder when they’ll decide to fuck it up.
