I’ve finally started L.A. Noire. I bought it years ago but only this week made a Rockstar Social Club account in order to play it.

VLN/NLS is back? Why yes, I do believe I will waste that time watching them. Well, have them in another window while doing other stuff, anyhow.

It sounds nice in theory, but I would not trust Microsoft to get that right. I’m not disparaging their strictly gaming/Xbox side, but when their Windows updates do kooky things like delete the contents of secondary drives, I would not trust them to get anti-cheat and bans correct. They’d end up banning people for…

A quick question for my fellow readers:

Great interview. There are a few interesting things here, but I think my favourite part is how much it humanises Yamauchi. I always got the impression he was a fierce, hard person, but learning he used to get drunk, call one of his employees, and tell him to make shit is hilarious.

That’s... oddly... heart warming? I mean the guy realised he had a problem and, presumably, got the help he needed. Good for him.

Having got stuck for the last few months playing a couple of endless games, this week I have got back on the horse of things I can finish and remove from my backlog by playing the overly-titled The Lego Ninjago Movie Video Game, so will be contiuing with that.

The Citroen DS3 (now just the DS 3, I think) has been a funky little car in recent years. A practical little hatchback, a good range of colours, often (always?) two-tone, and I gather they drive pretty well.

I would like to take a moment to reassure any non-brits reading that the majority of decent people in the UK consider this to be a massive, expensive, short-sighted, selfish, flag-waving national embarrassment.

And the Typhoon mentioned in the article is a multi-national project otherwise known as the Eurofighter.

The 2002 without the kidneys reminds me of a Mini Clubman, which in turn reminds me of a Mini Clubman I used to see in the ‘90s which had BMW kidneys attached to the grill. When it was announced BMW were buying Rover, I wondered if the owner was some kind of prophet.

Well if you’re going to mention a TV show like Knight Rider, mockumentaries have been a pretty big genre recently.

Boris Johnson, the UK’s Prime Minister, actually said in a speech that he admires the mayor in Jaws precisely because he kept the beaches open. It isn’t just us thinking it, he said it out loud.

I want Jason to play Jason. I want full-grown, now-Jason to play then-Jason, and I want him to wear the clothes he would have worn then in the same sizes he would have worn then. Is the shirt skin tight? Does the belly stick out a bit? Are the bottoms of his trousers up around his shins? Good, that’s what I want to…

Spider Baby!

I don’t think they know any such thing. They don’t know anything!

Dawdling, completely ignorant of anything around you, before then tripping over the power lead/supply and pulling it out. Repeat until new power supply is required. It’s the way my parents taught me.

As soon as I saw the video, I knew exactly what these shitstains were going to criticise Meghan for.

I think I have two of these somewhere. I got them as hand-me-downs from my brother’s now wife (then girlfriend) and inlaws sometime around ‘88-’90.
