Me and the wife have started watching the Marvel films in chronological order as per the most further up thread, done Captain America: First Avenger and just watched Captain Marvel, what a great film that is and glad we watched it in context of the rest of the films, a really pleasant surprise as I hadn't heard much about it prior to watching.

Brie Larson was great and it raised several chuckles throughout.

Also bought! Cheers for the heads up!

Just about to open my gates while I make some lunch, I've not done all the daily admin yet so there isn't as many spares by my airport as there will be after I've done my rounds but thought I'd open anyway. 

 

I've just done the resident services upgrade so if there are any early game players I can give a load of resources arguably too. 

 

I'm still not sure the best way of showing what I have in the catalogue or what is spare.

Just popped by, really early in the game so was able to grab some useful recipes from your shop.

Also took a loaf of fruit from by the airport.

Thanks!

Great episode. Really good exercise in building tension.

Nice, love the piano intro to The Little House I Used To Live In.

We thought it was great all the way through tonight!

Really enjoyed this episode, definite Sleuth vibes.

Adore both albums in their entirety, but Spilt Milk is in my top 10 albums of all time. Absolutely perfect and picked up both albums reissued on vinyl a couple of years ago and they sound incredible.

I'm currently re-reading The Stand for the first time in 20 years, as it seemed oddly prescient.

Still my favourite, and even moreso on this reading. Just past the Lincoln Tunnel bit, so barely made a dent, happy for it to last forever.

That was a bit meh. Can't win them all though!

Very excited for the return of this tonight!

Graham comes across delightfully in that. Also watched the interviewer do the same thing with Roger Manning from Jellyfish, he's pretty good and clearly an enthusiast.

Echoing the recommendation of Stories Untold. An absolutely ingenious and engaging narrative experience, one of the best I've played for sure.

To say anymore would spoil things.

Impressive, is that all vinyl?

 

My collection has been ongoing since the 80s, although that also includes a 20ish year break from buying vinyl as CD took over.

In the early 90s a load of my records got destroyed when part of the ceiling of our first house fell down. Quite a lot were original (now old school) hip hop/electro/techno/acid/house 12"s that are worth quite a bit now. I've spent time buying back some of the less expensive ones but some are crazy money, I wish I still had them.

 

About 15 years ago the remaining ones ended up in boxes in the loft.

5 years ago we moved to a larger house and my record collection came out of the loft and started to expand which coincided with me buying less CDs.

 

I got rid of a load of CDs last year (100+), I even tried to give them away in here but nobody wanted them.

 

I've put 670 items into my library so far, not including the CDs that I got rid of. It's split around 50/50 CD vs vinyl.

 

Still got 100+ CDs and another 50 to 70 records to add.

Yeah all vinyl. All my cds went to music magpie years ago.

As one of my 2020 resolutions, I'm adding my vinyl to complete my already half-done discogs collection, added 70 so far today. Probably got another 2-300 to go.

 

I also plan to organise them properly as they weren't in the best order to begin with and over the last few years I've just stuck anything I bought in the next gap on the shelves so there's new & second hand stuff, albums and 12"s and all sorts of genres jumbled up.

 

I added some to discogs previously, but I do know which shelf that is. If I sort them first, they'll get jumbled up with the ones that aren't in my collection and it'll be harder work as I'll spend time searching for stuff that's already in my database.

 

One main reason is I quite like buying second hand 12"s of old school dance tunes. Half the time though, I forget what I've already got and end up either missing out because I think I have it at home, or buying duplicates because I have it and forgot.

I also decided to do this. Had 0 albums on vinyl in 2012, and now this. This is not even all of them as still need to do the jazz, compilations and soundtracks.

The atmosphere and design is great so far in this. Also enjoying spotting all the Liverpool and Cheshire locations, including the beautiful Great Budworth as Edwardian Woking.

Oh my god the B2 boss fight. What in earth were they thinking?

Absolutely execrable game design, so very nearly walked away but just got through it.

It better get back on track now!

Early days, but I am enjoying this.

Didn't think I would, but I like the solitude and the soundtrack songs in the wilderness.

It is basically 'Duke Of Edinburgh Award - The Videogame.'

What an abject performance by England, just like watching the national football squad after all...

There's always something on the turntable in our house (in one of the three 'listening areas' that I've managed to establish). This morning it's this...

It's playable, just blurry.

It's The Witcher 3 - on the fucking Switch. 

 

I don't know what people are expecting. 

Guess I was expecting a better solution to make docked mode more acceptable.

Reminds me in a lot of ways of the Vita port of Borderlands.

Yeah, the game itself is incredible definitely and looking forward to hopefully working my way through all of it.

I think it's some kind of aggressive anti aliasing combined with what looks like dynamic resolution that could be tuned down somewhat and still be acceptable docked.

This is clearly a huge technical achievement to be on the Switch, but it looks like absolute arse docked. Want expecting that much of a visual downgrade, but it's not an exaggeration to say it looks like a 360 game out in the open world. Luckily it looks fine handheld so will be playing the majority of it like this.

I have every one of the vinyl remasters, though Studio Tan remains my favorite and they've not remastered that one yet!
