The Tomorrow War

December 24, 2023Posted inFilms/TVNo Comments
So it's been a while since I've watched a movie, but I've got a bit of time over the festive period and I had a hankering for some long form entertainment, so I thought I'd see what was about. I was going to watch Dune, but it was a bit too long for the time I had, so I settled…

I found my motivation, it was on a bookcase

I blew my right knee out somehow - I think it was general wear and tear adding up over time, but it hurts when I put weight on it. The school run still has to be done every day though, so I'm using that as a litmus test to see how it is healing, and how recovery is going. I've…

Sunday service: Rollercoasters go down as well as up

March 20, 2022Posted inReflectionsNo Comments
Just been feeling a little bit down this week. Can't pinpoint it on anything really. I smashed the next section of the coaching course I'm doing via Association of Learning - after it was returned to me because I didn't do the Harvard referencing and citations properly though... I can't say I'm a fan of having to reference stuff, I…

I own a car

So this is one of the final steps in my last action plan - buying a car. All that's left to do on the old plan is pass tests and become legally able to drive the car I've just bought. The new plan is more about consolidating things, and streamlining processes. One post on here a week as a general…

This was originally posted on the now-defunct Random Fury! videogame blog. Hello there. It's Friday, so here's a random game: Hanger 2. Although it's not too random as I featured the first game in the series (Hanger) last week. Ok, so this is what a sequel should be, what it should do. It improves upon the original in every single…

This was originally posted on the now-defunct Random Fury! videogame blog. Hello again! This week on Random Game Friday, the featured game is: Hanger. It is as it sounds, a game in which you hang, from string in this case, and it does a very good Spider-Man impression. You can swing your body a little by using the left and…

In the last few days I've made huge progress on my Gamerscore target. I've gone from near 74,000 to almost 76,000 thanks to a couple of proper easy games. I would say shit games, but one of them was quite good. Megamind was horse-shit, but it only took me around 4 hours to get the 1000. Cloudy With A Chance…
