Having a wander through the music collection and pulled out the Sharpe: Over the Hills and Far Away album.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1IGRf9gvt28 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sjQzmriHn5I

Would it be in bad taste to respond to this with: Hoggaami jidka kabtanka. (Sometimes, you just have to go with the Somali)

Having a dabble with Alpha Protocol again. Say what you like about some of the design choices (<cough> hacking), that is still a damn engaging game as you get into it.

Okay, in the current day and age of serious political shenanigans and ill-feeling between the various political groups and extremes... I'd just like to point out that we do need to keep a certain sense of whimsy alive. That, and:

To mildly resurrect this thread from the depths of the past.. For anyone who enjoys the pseudo-Dune style of thing, they currently have a chunk of the Fading Suns RPG at present (and for the next 12 days) Bundle of Holding - Fading Suns Apparently the publishing rights have been acquired by a German gaming company (Ulisses Spiele), and before they start pushing their own plans for the licence they're releasing this batch of the old version via the bundle.

Don't think this has been posted yet ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNMQVcyowss Edit: And Avellone is tweeting a few comments on it as he's watching that interview apparently...

From a Norwegian Newspaper; - If you were stranded on an island, who would you bring along? - I'll take one for the team and bring along Trump.

I'm not sure what it is, it kind of bugs me. I've completed the game before, and that first time I got into it from the get go and could sink large stretches of time playing it at a time. Just the return to it and doing it once more seems to be leaving me cold. Which is annoying because I want to get through so I can finally get around to playing the White March expansion. One minor point that does seem to bug me is all the highlighted characters you can interact with only to find out they're just in for reading their soul and getting the flavour text. So it's almost wading through them while trying to remember who you have to click on to find side-quests and such.

Also, doing the rounds of the internet is Patrick Stewarts response to the Ian McKellen holding the placard of a Picard facepalm... "Inception"

Lucifer was a nice episode. With some good lines and moments, "Who wants to kill me?"
