You've traveled this far on the back of every mistake,
ridden in dark-eyed and morose but calm as a house
after the TV set has been pitched out the upstairs
window. Harmless as a broken ax.

I gotta say. It’s not looking great for Smyths continuing to sell Tranformers toys. The TF section is getting smaller and smaller every time I go in.

First stop for #DistantWorlds3 is the charming "World of Death" (Spoihaae XE-X d2-9 A 1), a fast-orbiting planet that passes through the cones of a white dwarf, so there is only a small window of time where you can try to land.

Here's a slightly panicked picture of my SRV on the surface.

It's time to head out into the black.

Oh the irony.

Even Dear Leader says you're talking out your ass, CBS. You're not a news channel, you're a propaganda machine for a fascist and his murdering thugs.

It's almost impressive how dull, boring & repetitive a game Mechwarrior 5: Mercenaries is.

I've been playing Battletech for 30+ years now and this entry in the franchise is a tedious slog that makes you wait far too long for better mechs & weapons while playing the same missions again & again.

It wasn’t a great workout today, but I gotta work on keeping that consistency. Twice a week, every week.

Hey, @proton.me, I'm already paying you guys for a subscription so it's kind of annoying that you've shoved not just one but two big "PLEASE GIVE US MORE MONEY" buttons into Proton Pass.

A solid haul of books this year! The Nemesis the Warlock Definitive Editions really are gorgeous things. Still got two more to collect.

We all know fast food companies lie to us, but every now and again the lie is so egregious that I feel the need to let other people know about it.

#Dominos are doing mince pie cookies for Christmas and their marketing is a fantasy. Here's their picture, and here's what you ACTUALLY get.

Pathetic.

This image really demonstrates the issues modern day collectors have with current-era Hasbro. Look at that excuse for a gun. Look at that cost-cutting shit. Look at all the voids. Modern day figures are as much empty air as they are plastic.

Thank god for the third-party market.

Are you a #Transformers fan?
Do you live in the UK?
Do you have a TK Maxx vaguely nearby?

Then you need to go visit. Now. My local store suddenly got a huge delivery.

Bumblebee, Cosmos and Studio Series Prime came home with me, and I just realised I don't have that Thundercracker! Dammit!

Whenever fuckers like the Tories or that slimy Russian bootlicker Nigel Farage talk about getting rid of the NHS and replacing it with the American system, THIS is the shit they're talking about.

People being denied lifesaving care to promote a company's "swagger".

Fuck these people.

Did you know the developers had added Steam achievements to the Indie darling game from a few years back called "Gone Home"? Because I didn't know that until today.

Guess what I just spent the last hour doing?

Treated myself to my first ever Blokees blind boxes today. Nothing too special, but picked up an Inferno and a Thundercracker. Was hoping for a Grimlock, but it was not to be.

They're great little toys, really quick and easy to snap together.

PSA - Don't buy one of these Venom charging docks.

I'd used it twice. Tonight I plugged it in, set my controller on it and...That's odd. The red charging light is flickering, and WHAT'S THAT SMELL?

Yeah. It cooked itself. Thank god it happened when I was sitting at my desk and could unplug it.

Saw this today and I am absolutely counting it as today’s spooky movie. That was genuinely good fun and I’m glad I went in completely blind.

I'd say this is a great film to take your kids to if you want a gentle introduction to the horror genre.
