Small jog for me too and weather was cool so it was nice.  Will hopefully wake up early tomorrow and smash out a pre work workout.  Aiming to do a 10K hill walk on Saturday and maybe a little job prior. 

Hellblade felt very well directed.

I couldn’t do it in 2005 either. Never understood the love for that game. 

I'm still OK with the control scheme, though I could imagine it feeling weird not on a GC controller.  Though I have an urge to play some Resident Evil before the remake of 2 is released and I've never had a problem with 'tank controls'.

A Midsummer Night’s Dream - 4/5 - My wife and I went to support our friend who was in the local production.  They did a great job with the set and costumes. The actor who played Oberon was awful. He couldn’t project his voice and it was impossible to hear him. The production made a big deal about him but he was the worst on stage. Our friend did great for her first play and only flubbed a couple of lines. 

They're running this near my house, but it's over the weekend and we're set for heavy wind and rain.  One day I'll catch a production in person.

I can sense a good amount of padding in the future.

Genuinely loved Timesplitters 2/Future Perfect and would welcome either a new entry or a remaster.  I’ve played about half of Second Sight and that was also well done.

I do wonder how this will impact the Timesplitters Rewind ‘fan’ project 

Rockstar, though a special mention to Nintendo for the most recent Hyrule they have created.

In reality, I should probably be running 6+ miles for my jogs butn slack.  I’ve just maintained a level of fitness over the last few years which just keeps me in good knick.

Went for a nice jog after work today. 3 miles or so, but included some really good hill sprints along the way.  My trainers are beyond fucked however so will pick up new ones tomorrow so my calf/hamstring doesn’t snap in two.

Another 3 miler, though really suffered from a) it being sunny b) walking about 30,000 steps at work but eating as though I would have a day sitting down.  So long as I wake up early enough tomorrow, will smash out some circuit training when walking the dog.

Check for local stores in your area using Wizard's search function.  That's the best way to find a place to start with their Adventurer's League.

Thanks for this, it's brought up a shop about 2 miles from my house!

I play DnD on Saturdays with a group of friends over Skype. We use DnDbeyond.com to keep track of our character stats and Roll20.com is where we play. My friend who is in Baltimore at the moment is out GM and I play with friends who live in LA and Orange county. It's actually quite fun even though we aren't in the same room 

This is a decent idea to try out.  At least once I'm up to speed.  I think next pay day I'll pick up the Player Guide, look through it and see if the desire is still strong.

Speaking of gender though, if they ever did a gender swapped Bond (or if there da movie that just created a new character that was styled as a female James Bond) I could see Emily Blunt doing it. 

She would be spot on. Though I think I’d prefer her in the mission impossible universe.

I was looking to pick up Chrono Trigger on the ds but it costs a silly amount. Japanese copy however much cheaper, so I may go via that route.  Or just forget this whole silly thing as I have loads of current games. 

Yep.  Always fun as a duo

I've been watching Puffin Forest for the past few days and I'm starting to really want to try out DnD.  The good news, I have a friend that definitely used to play it.  The bad news is he lives an hour away and has a young child so it more likely a write off. 

Is it something that I could GM and play as a 2 player experience (to learn the ropes) and then just venture out and try and find 'like minded people'. 

...I would also love to be involved in a retro game club (to indulge in multiplayer)

I would put mayonnaise as my all time favourite condiment.

Reading A brief history of time. It’s a sign of someone that understands there work that it can be explained to an idiot like me and make sense.

Just finished and it was certainly a good starting insight into modern (and the history) of Physics and Cosmology, at least as it was 20 years ago.  I did enjoy the fact that it signed off with the fact that most aspects of human development (at least in an academic sense) is almost impossible to remain [currently] informed on.  At least outside of the few that work within the field and live and breathe the subject.  That said, this will be a nice catalyst for me to enjoy more books/articles surrounding the theory of the universe, at least from a slightly more informed point of view, but more importantly to look at other 'introduction to' books to read.  I would love to have a more rounded understanding of British politics (that my mixture of news and people opinion doesn't offer) so I may look into that. 

In the mean time, I've just ordered The Name of the Wind - Patrick Fothfuss, which comes incredibly well recommended by all corners of the internet.  I had no idea of the series before hand, so I'm looking forward to giving it a go.

Then I think I need to return back to Uhtred of Beddanburg and continue on with that series, I think I'm eight books in now, so I can't exactly stop.

I wouldn't be surprised if the added fluff is due to word count requirements for the reviews.

 

 

When I was to read the EDGE magazine it was a similar story when they were operating on limited space.  It just seems to be the style they go for. 

I should really buy this soon.  I loved the Stick of Truth and I know I'll love this as well.

My dog looked at me lovingly...

I’ll watch when I get home but is it essentially DOOM with cars? 

Was not her.

As expected, The Witcher 3.  A friend of mine and my Partner is coming over today so they can do some drawing/painting, so I'll game whilst they have fun with that.  I also woke up with a desire to play some N64 (specifically Starfox, 1080 and Wave Race) so I'll make that happen if the feeling doesn't change. 

Also downloaded Hearthstone onto my phone, so I'll try that out properly tonight. 

Would love to play, but I don't know if I'm willing to meet that side of humanity at my local Games Workshop.

This game does so many things that theoretically would totally piss me off in other games with its recycled mission types, lack of real variety in terms of areas and so on and yet it just seems to work here. I have no idea what kind of magic is happening but I just can't put this damn game down. I tried and it sucked me back in twice already.

 

I dropped Hollow Knight just to play MGSV more. 

 

The FOB infiltrations are really fun, yeah, and I love stealing people's shit especially if they have a stupid username. 

May some point I’ll return to finish off the pointless second act.
