TV & Films
Just watched
- Fallout S1 – The best game related TV show ever? Easily, in fact a darn fine show in general!
- Douglas is Cancelled – entertaining, and hugely awkward to watch 3rd episode.
- The Great British Sewing Bee – Season 10.
- Prometheus – trying to get caught up on the Alien films post resurrection. I believe a lot of people dislike this, but I had a fine time with it.
On Pause
- Supernatural – Season 7 – Getting back to more silliness, which is what we enjoy the most about the show.
- Stranger Things – Season 4 – Not as engaging as the first two seasons.
Currently watching
- Critical Role Campaign 3
- Bones – Season 5 – Rewatch (3rd)
- Masterchef Australia – 2021 – We ended up getting a bit behind on our MC watching following the death of Jock Zonfrillo, but we now feel ready to get back to it.
Boardgames
Last played
- Divinity Original Sin – a long time cooking, but a solid game in the end. Was worried it would be too alike with Roll Player Adventures which we just ran through the campaign of (twice) but quite a different feel thankfully. Perhaps more akin to Pathfinder: The Card Game in actuality.
Currently Playing
About to get started up again now that the year is moving on. Both Worms Armageddon and the Set a Watch campaign have turned up recently, so they will be getting a play soon.
- Flight Crew – another superb co-op game that we had to force ourselves to stop playing so we didn’t burn through all the scenarios in no time!
Video games
- Banner Saga (trying for the 3rd time!)
- Surviving Mars – bought a few DLC packs in the steam sale.
- Spirit Hunters Infinite Horde – yet another purchase caused by listening to, sadly now ended, The Sausage Factory podcast
Life
Today (September 23rd) was our last official work day down at the hotel, there is still a good week or so of tidying things away for the winter, but we are done with the 05:00 wakeups at least! Plus, I might actually update this more regularly over the winter months… may…
