    What book are you reading...

    Been reading a lot of RR Haywood recently. Extracted trilogy. Time travel. A guy invents a time travel device and it goes wrong when the timeline changes. Insert heroes to sort it out and some bad guys to mess it up. Very enjoyable read. Code trilogy. Generation ships leave Earth to find...

    Corsair ICUE (Or Similar)

    The iCue system is very good however it is also expensive for what it is. You need more parts than what you think you need and the inside of your case will be a mess of wires. 4 of my 6 fans have failed LEDs since installation but I'm too lazy to do anything about it as they still spin and I'm...

    What game did you play last?

    Finally got to play Skyrim last night at a friends. My copy is still unopened after a year. The rulebook is a little chaotic so highly recommend a watch it played on YT. Levelling works well enough, as a co-op you don't want to level up too quick otherwise you screw over the other players and...

    What game did you play last?

    Long Shot: The Dice Game Roll & Write horse racing. You can only do 1 of the 5 actions for the horse that has been rolled (unless you use one of your 3 wild cards). You can buy horses netting you a race purse for a top 3 finish. The winner is the player with the most money at the end. Our...

    What game did you play last?

    I did find that it was difficult to continue creating one character in Traveller when in lost my 3rd arm. Shame as I had some good stats and was looking forward playing that one. Made it to Admiral in the Navy in my re-roll though.

    I love the character creation for traveller. Although in the newer releases, I don't think you can die.

    Nightingale (PVE open-world survival crafting game)

    A mate got involved with the testing and he's really looking forward to it. As a group this is right up our alley but got to start Enshrouded first after we've completed all the missions in Icarus.

    Tales from Red Dragon hit retail a couple of months ago from what I recall. I was tempted to get one but they sold out by the time I made up my mind.

    Three body Problem (2024)

    Really enjoyed the Tencent version, pretty much covers the book as faithfully as possible. I think the first 8 episodes were free (via Tencent channel) and then it was subscription (£3.80 or something a month). They were released every other day or so last year. Not expecting much from the...

    What game did you play last?

    I really need to have a cull of my collection to free up some space. There are Kickstarters from 4 years ago that haven't been opened and I am building a quite a 'Spare Dining Chair of Potential' pile

    Spec Me An American Football (Gridiron) Management Simulation

    Been looking for something similar to think I've narrowed it down to Front Office Football but wouldn't have time to really get into it

    Lanzarote / Tenerife

    Lots of car hire options. Our villa transfer would have cost £132. Car hire for the 5 days was £90 and £10 fuel. Also, the roads are fantastically smooth. Buses are easy enough as it's a circular route pretty much but note that they only take cash with a €10 limit.

    Advent calendars - What have you got?

    Got the most recent Exit calendar. I reward myself with as mince pie when I figure out that days puzzle.

    Picked up Ticket to Ride: Legend of the West and Forbidden Jungle. Now to find time to play them and get the group back together. A legacy game is sure to tempt them. And today, Roll Player Adventures and the 2 expansions arrived at work so nabbed a copy of each. My gaming room shelves are...

    Lanzarote / Tenerife

    Just finished eating and it was fantastic. Citurna is fully booked tonight so happy I did that in advance. Limited menu but side great choices in there. Not had a disappointing meal all week actually from any restaurant.

    Lanzarote / Tenerife

    Thanks, was looking at that one and have booked for next week. Bit of a trek (3 miles) but we'll hit a couple of bars on the way.

    Lanzarote / Tenerife

    I'm going to Lanzarote next month (Playa Blanca) for the same reasons as OP but we opted for a villa instead of the usual All Inc. in order to avoid the general food options you get in hotels. What you save on accommodation, you spend on eating out if you don't cook yourself. Car hire was...

    How old is too old?

    I still use my RM850 from 2013 but 10 years is my limit so will change it on my next upgrade in the next 6 months.
