A happy thing to start my week off. I won one of these today! It looks super nice.

... which is 'as it should be'. I think both this and WipEout are probably equally mean... The races are mercifully quite short and have fast restarts with no loading. No loading. NO LOADING. If your racing game has long loading times before restarts, you're getting docked 20%. I don't care ...

I too am sorry I had to start missing this on a Tuesday. I genuinely enjoyed seeing you all and I think it was a great idea from the get go. Thank you Kern for organising and hosting it. Maybe a one off every now and again would be good? ...

... splatters, and a soundtrack out of nowhere. 24 levels of (mostly) you vs hordes action, the game employs the simple tactic of dumping you at the start of the level every time you die. No lives, no game over, no "do you want to try again?" Just, "oh you died, have another go", ...

... gone for the 7-9 slots throughout the week, but earlier on Sunday, later on Friday, and anytime Saturday, but if we've been in work, a 7 o'clock start probably makes things worse, if we haven't, we could probably do a 6 o'clock start, but there's not that much consistency to say that we're both ...

Related to Malc's thread, would people want to try a later start on Tuesday?

... HD - WiiU/CEMU/Steam Deck Kind of cheating a bit as I played most of it last year, with the intention to finish it in the new year and kickstart my list. A variety of things like work, Vampire Survivors, general lethargy, etc, got in the way, but I finally found the time to finish it over ...

... kepi for sentimental reasons and the greatcoat for its general awesomeness, but everything else was loaded up in someone's car to give them a good start in the hobby. Probably only made a tiny percentage of the overall cost back, but I'm glad it'll all get used rather than just end up in landfill. ...

... about how people fall for such tricks, the art of the magician, and the history of spiritualism to show how the audacious plan worked. A strong start to the literary year!

Start as we mean to go on! BeeX Zoom call from 8 tonight.

You must be previewing! How dull. Take what giphy gives you! Title.

... hiatus and continues to go from strength to strength - we currently end almost every night with a round of Feed the Kraken . Probably should start playing some of my existing games before buying any more but that's the way of the hobby. Cottage was its usual mad daze of a weekend and Tuesday ...

... become one of my favourite game franchises. Current tally is 108 hours on SE4, I've completely maxed that out and done all the DLC. I decided to start the whole game again a few weeks ago rather than pick up from my old save. I also dropped the STUPID idea of using the cheaty suppressed sniper ...

Watched the penultimate episode last night. Start of episode: it has to be a boy End of episode: let's all vote off women! Oh dear. Still, i can emphasise a bit with Maddy. Always sucks to work it out early but never get anyone else on board. ...

(I'm joking of course. We'll start with Ulysses then move on to Das Kapital, perhaps with the Book of Job as a lighter interlude)

Awesome!

I'm not sure I will be doing it again (maybe, we'll see), but it does mean, I have now Wild Swam in the river Erme at least once in every month of 2022, which means I have at least hit one goal I made for myself at the start of the year

... the joycon apart to see if I can clean it out but I am a little reluctant (as it still works, it just heeds pressing hard a few times at the start of each play session to free it up, and then after that it's mostly OK for the rest of the sesh). Do you think this is salvageable? Anyone got ...

... done. Really enjoyed it apart from the crafting and stealth sections which were universally terrible. Some really annoying bugs also made me restart two missions from the start twice as well, which was annoying. They really fleshed out the ghost character, though, who had a wicked voice. So ...

... other thing was I didn’t like a single spawn spot in each of the worlds. You’d quit out only to be forced to run through an entire level from the start every fucking time. And that just made me not want to go back to camp to cash in my souls. And then, of course, I’d lose the fucking things. But ...

... when we set it up, for exactly that reason. You only want a very brief first burst, but that means some songs with a second of quiet at the start can be missed, but having a two second first go meant everything was too easy. We played around with it, trying 1.5 seconds, etc, and the current ...

... sense of achievement. Major spoilers: I thought the T-shirt was hilarious. The theme park idea? Well, they'd already played with that at the start, and there's nothing to suggest it can't be a sudden flashforward. As with Mimi, there was something final about turning off all the lights ...

Meanwhile, Gavin Williamson has resigned under a cloud again.

Expect him back round the cabinet table within a month so we can start the cycle again.

Slow start for me. Got it in 3

... might be a PC/Amiga thing, or maybe it just wasn't setup right, but the Switch kept crashing when I went into the settings). Already started Monkey Island 2 and I don't have a clue what I'm doing, but I'm blundering through ok at the moment. 2) Monkey Island 2 Got ...

... to rhyme with "Tarmacadam", I believe). The testosterone in the script-writers' meetings must have been off the scale, and it starts off as it it's going to borrow from movie genres all over the place, while dropping plot liberally in. It's also amazing how poor paid-for script ...

iPad be dead. Will be there once there’s enough battery to start the mother up.

Always

Are you accepting prize donations this year?

I'm sure I have some tat to throw out worthy items to contribute.

I should start on the quiz...

Cardiff Half: there's pacers in the start pens. If the 1 hour 45 minute race pacer starts three minutes before me, and I catch them on the finish line, I should have run 1 hour 42 minutes, shouldn't I?

So sorry to read this. I hope you and your family are able to take comfort in good memories. I can’t even start to imagine what your friends are going through.

Happy to let them have whatever they want. Feels a bit like the end of an era, half the country liked her in spite of the fact she was the queen not because of it. Don't see people having the same affection for Chuck. Just maybe we can start looking forwards instead.

49:37 so a decent morning out. A bit of traffic at the start, but km splits looked decent considering the last week. Minute slower than last year.

... I was doing l. The shower was huge, much bigger than the bedroom, and really fancy, so we’re standing in the shower and I’m trying to get it to start whilst he is distracted looking at different bottles of shampoo, then I press a button and there are jets of water squirting from all directions ...

... Souls. And then you have to trek back to the warp gate which isn’t close to that either. And, as far as I could tell on my brief progress, you start right back at the beginning of the map rather than the bonfire you warped out of. Maybe more warps open up, but, come on, there’s a reason FromSoft ...

... probably not a good sample) to do it here. For one thing, she's not a bumbling clown who nobody can take seriously, nor will she be likely to start quoting rubbish in Latin or references to Greek mythology and will probably not try to use the same kind of stand-up delivery of the infamous ...

After a rocky start, She-Hulk has turned into fun lighthearted romp of a show.
The CGI is atrocious though, She-Hulk wouldn't be out of place in a live rendered video game sequence.

Agree with both. I also think Putin is counting on the west losing interest in supporting Ukraine to the extend it's already done, especially as domestic conditions get worse and the usual suspects start complaining about how much it's costing.

... in with the bright colours. And I swear the majority of the game is just following people about and listening to fuckers talk. Or you’re unable to start a ruck cause this mission requires, urgh, stealth couching slowly around the environments and it’s instant death or restart if you fuck up. And ...

... jet. I could turn it off, but our electric shower always turns on again super-cold if it's been on recently, and takes a few minutes to actually start heating again.

... Academy Season 4 but thats where it will end - I did enjoy season 3 but yes a strange end that I suspect will be undone in some way near the start of Season 4

Really need these back. Makes Mondays complete again.

Only Connect and University Challenge start again tonight. That's my Monday evening sorted for a bit!

There can be no reasonable reason for it but this made me start wondering if a doner spit and smoker can somehow be combined because... Well. I mean, right?

So,

Our holiday didn't get off to the best start...


Everybody is fine, and we are at the holiday park, but we don't currently have a car!

If he got re elected, would he be 45 and 47?
