It’s on Amazon Prime. Well, all of it except for the final season! Been waiting over six months since the end of the penultimate one and forgotten most of what happened now.

I’d not played this for ages but this thread reminded me to go back and try to sweep up the final moons. Somehow I managed to get the Breakdowns Road moon on Dark side within about 15 mins when previously I’d spent hours with no luck! All I need now is the skipping rope and some purple coins to get the last souvenirs. It still plays as absolutely beautiful as I remember, especially compared to Crash Bandicoot which my other half insisted I buy when it was on sale. That really is a frustrating game which seems to want to punish you compared to this which still wants you to succeed even if it’s difficult in places.

Well...

Saw this on a flight to the US a couple of weeks ago and loved it. One of the best things I’ve seen in years. The actual heist scene was unbelievably tense.

Sadly I got back two days ago! I did manage to add 15-20 new beers to my tally though. Favourites were: Sculpin from Ballast Point (also the Unfiltered version) A Little Sumpin’ Sumpin’ from Lagunitas White Rascal from Avery Brewing Co Space Dust IPA from Elysian Brewing Co Blah Blah Blah IPA from 21st Amendment

I loved QoS when I first saw it and have defended it ever since. Much prefer it to the two more recent Craig films which are both horribly bloated in different ways.

I went to Thornbridge’s own festival Peakender last month. Lots of their own beers obviously but also from other breweries in the scene. Think my my favourites were from Wild Beer Company, but then I do like my sours. Also had decent ones from Hawkshead, Brooklyn and Northern Monk. Off to California this week so excited to try a few new ones over there.

I’m flying to San Francisco this week too and planning to pick this game up for the flight. Hope I have better luck!

I’m amazed how little chatter there is for this. I just finished the final episode of the season yesterday but blitzed the second half of the season in a couple of days. It does start a little slower which is perhaps off-putting but from the halfway mark it’s killer episode after killer episode. Not sure if it’s sustainable over many seasons, but it’s my favourite drama in quite a while.

What have people done for 2nd joycon grips? I’ve got a 2nd set of joycons but Nintendo can get fucked if they think I’m paying £25 for the charging grip. Struggling to find alternatives however.

Now more than ever it does feel like Breaking Bad fan service, and “filling in the gaps” to an extent. It does make it a less interesting show, despite how lovingly well made it is. They’ve obviously written themselves into this corner by having it as a prequel, but I’d like to think it could really speed up now and perhaps get to a post-BB world and we follow what happens to Gene.

Mad Max Fury Road is one I’d expect to have a strong legacy.

Was anyone around for the closing of the rift last night? I happened to be online and saw the last lightning strike and then went to explore the weird purple cube. Landed on top of it and if you hit it with your harvesting tool it sends you flying very very high!

What a truly terrible list. Also for including Casino Royale 67 and Never Say Never Again.

Loved the first season. Worried it won’t stretch to a second but we’ll see.
