I’m sorry Plex (and wherever you scraped this from), but what sort of edgy 90s comedy club drama do you think this is?

Streaming should resume next week! We have a new circuit breaker/fuse box installed that is up to code, and all should be better moving forward. Despite being salty at lost momentum, I’m looking forward to getting back to finishing the Dark Pictures anthology, and then on to pastures new!

Anyone stateside want to buy one of these and find a hilarious way to ship it to me in the UK? I'm sure it'd give customs the shits.

So many of my Japanese PS1 era imports were only playable thanks to this site... well, this site and flagrant abuse of my mums printer that she bought for the family business. 🤫

I’m not! I have to sit and write the notes base this afternoon and it’s going to be hours of my life I don’t get back. 😂

I am legitimately dreading recording part 2. 🤦‍♂️

Before #TheGameAwards or the #BaftaGameAwards there was… Cybermania. And it was certainly two hours of broadcast television. Japanese games are a borderline non entity and the CDi is king. Plus: Leslie Nielsen. Our first of two episodes on this spectacle is live: shows.acast.com/657957e43f12...

I think the fact a lot of them knew each other did put them at a disadvantage, with conscious/unconscious bias playing a role when it came to taking sides.

Ie, Alan killing Paloma never really finding its footing because they were besties.

This also isn’t me throwing shade, they themselves said multiple times as they eliminated faithful after faithful that they were terrible. 😂

I would probably be shocking at it too!

They got their first traitor on day 7 of 9. Other seasons and versions of the Traitors has seen eliminations on the 2nd or 3rd day, including the UK. On the celeb version they even gave them two murder in plain sight missions (a murder type that resulted in Miles being found out in S2).

Despite the fact the faithful were mostly shocking, it was absolutely brilliant, and those final moments of the finale were beautiful and sweet

It’s gonna be in the high 50s to mid 60s whilst you’re over here. Currently set for a bit of rain tomorrow but mostly cloudy with some sun over Friday and the weekend. Unless it’s raining right now I’m just going out in T-shirt, hoodie and jeans. 👌

Seems like a good time to share this again: youtu.be/dSlGxtOTbbI?...

Streaming plans this week are cancelled due to the need for essential electrical works in our property. Sunday stream may still happen if everything is done and remediated by Friday.

Easy choice: Lego Rock Band. Killer set list, great humour and fun additions/mods to the game. Plus just added to the overall RB Library. 10/10.

a threatation.

I’m reading it in a Northern English accent so the comma would go between program and boy. It could also possibly be seen as a threat *or* an invitation.

It definitely feels it, but I think part of that is down to (what I believe to be) a more powerful fan and a larger vent area. It certainly seems to heat the room it’s in quicker than the smaller one that was there before (which has now moved to bedroom duty)

(When in eco mode, which as you point out, does the job just fine)

Not that I know of! We’ve got one the size you reviewed and a slightly larger one. The one that’s the same as yours has been in active service for over 2 years at this point, with zero issue, and a notably lower power draw than the normal fan heaters it replaced.

We have a couple of these and they’ve just been an absolute game changer when it comes to quickly bringing the temperature up in a room. 👌

I resisted this game for so long, started with the Star Wars season as almost a joke and just got hooked on the core Battle Royale mechanic. Even if you strip away all the licensing and pop culture, it’s just a fun game.

No build only ofc. I’m not insane. 😂

11AM - LEGO and Chiller 12PM - Spooky games 3PM - LEGO and Chiller 4PM - Spooky games 7PM - Community games 8PM - Phasmophobia

Starting in an hour! Arguably the biggest initial scare will be the number of bags in the LEGO Ecto-1. But after that first hour the real fun begins… 💀

First few films in this series are diamond, definitely worth checking out. Anything after 3 can vary in quality but after that you’re often hooked.

A reminder that I'm doing a 12hr Hallowstream from 11am GMT tomorrow! Spooky shorts, demonic demos, Lego and chill...er, community games and rounding the night off with 3hrs of Phasmophobia!

Extreme Express is way more fun than it has any right to be. Quite tough in places too.

HULK SMASH FEELINGS!
