Friday update 21/3/14

By Iain 21 March 2014Internet, Reflections, Site Related, VideogamesNo Comments

Hey hey hey, it's Friday and that means it's update day! What's been going on then? Well, I've had some of the week off from Asda, which has given me a chance to get some stuff done. Admittedly, it has just been little jobs that could've been completed if I were at Asda as normal of a week, but the…

Dad ‘n’ Me

By Iain 14 March 2014VideogamesNo Comments

This was originally posted on the now-defunct Random Fury! videogame blog. This weeks random game is... Dad 'n' Me! Now, you may immediately recognise the visual style - it is very distinctive after all. Did you ever play the rock hard Alien Hominid? The initially awesome but quite drawn out Castle Crashers? Did you ever wonder if anything came before…

Another week, another update. I've had some time off Asda this week, so I've taken the opportunity to do a few niggly jobs that have been hanging around for what seems like years... And some other jobs that I only thought of recently when I was compiling the to-do list. One is to decorate a wooden box that I bought…

How did I forget these?

In my last update, I mean. Ethan has so much Lego. Like, really, so much. I spent half an hour in there the other day, and this is what I made. It is me as a Lego person, riding on my Space Sled, with Jane on the back. And here is a nice little drawing a work-mate drew for me…

OFFS3T

By Iain 7 March 2014VideogamesNo Comments

This was originally posted on the now-defunct Random Fury! videogame blog. Hello there, RGF time again, and this week I'm playing an absolutely beautiful game called OFFS3T. You are tasked with reverse-manipulating images back to their original state using a variety of techniques, which get more and more inventive as the game goes on. It starts simply with obvious shapes…

Friday Update 7/3/14

Hello again, it's Friday, and that means it's update time! Jane and baby are well - we went to Toys R Us one day last week to look at prams/pushchairs/buggies - so many different styles! I think we've decided on the one we're going to go for, it may be a little pricey but we've done our sums and worked…

Does Asda stock ImagineFX?

By Iain 6 March 2014Books, ReflectionsNo Comments

Some Asdas do, but most don't. I would say you're better off trying WHSmiths. Chances are, if you have an Asda near you then you also have a WHSmiths near you too. (This was in response to one of our more popular search queries: Does Asda stock ImagineFX?)

What Happened Here?

By Iain 28 February 2014VideogamesNo Comments

This was originally posted on the now-defunct Random Fury! videogame blog. Hello there. Today's random game is What Happened Here? Boiled down to its bare bones, it is a "choose your destiny" Fighting Fantasy-style adventure book crossed with a questionnaire - you decide in your head what happened, then the game shows you the outcome. It can be as normal…

Friday Update 28/2/14

Jane is well, pregnancy coming along nicely. We had the 12 week scan last week - some delightful pictures of a tiny little Flipper. He/she was a lot more active than I had anticipated - I thought they'd just be curled up, being relatively still, but they were jumping around like no-one's business! Hopefully the room situation should be sorted…

Shopping List LOLs #5

By Iain 22 February 2014Films/TV, ReflectionsNo Comments

Hi. Welcome to the no-longer-new feature which, as you can see from the title of this post, I'm calling Shopping List LOLs. What is it about I hear you ask? Well, I work in a supermarket and sometimes I find peoples discarded shopping lists. I read them, and are amazed by them, they make me thankful I'm normal. What I'll…
