Haha! I'm expecting lots of crashes, yes.
I was thinking of trying Abzu, which just came out. Also planned: Grow Home, The Talos Principle (I've started that on my struggling old computer). Might even try and actually push the thing with Everybody's Gone to the Rapture or The Disappearance of Ethan Carter.
Honestly my…

Since I have up til this point relied on easy meals and pizza and such, I am working on learning to cook. First experiment… kinda rubbish :(
I'll persevere. I have a recipe book with simple meals, hopefully I can manage that.

Well I've been a bit distracted from Monster Hunter Generations by moving and stuff. But since I'm in the new place, I finally ordered the bits for my new computer build! The pieces should all have arrived by Saturday (I've probably jinxed it. Now the case will not show up for a month or something). I'm super excited…

Moved into a shared house, really enjoying it so far :) Obviously my parents are great, but it was getting really grating still being there. I think I get on quite well with my new housemates.

The screenplay was total nonsense - but the acting and staging added enough context to make it seem like it made sense.

I don't expect they're too bothered, since they will get an exact duplicate of Santa once he completes his transformation!
Also yeah I guess I forgot to mention that Santa gets killed in this movie.

What about The Santa Clause? Dad learns to be a better dad by becoming Santa. Actually, I guess he was not really a bad dad, just a single parent. Anyway, I just wanted to mention the movie because it really freaked me out as a kid - he transforms into Santa both physically and mentally. And it's permanent iirc!
I…

Hey, You Are Not So Smart is in this! I just started that podcast. And by "just started" I mean I've listened to maybe 5 episodes, so I don't feel qualified to comment on it. Does it still have cookies in it?

The madly lucky eccentric guy is Timothy Dexter:

A particularly good section:
"Aged 50, Dexter wrote a book about himself – A Pickle for the Knowing Ones or Plain Truth in a Homespun Dress – in which he also complained about politicians, the clergy
and his wife. The book contained 8,847 words…

I've switched from actually leaving the office during lunch break to play Pokemon Go, to playing Pokemon Go during lunch break so I can go outside and get some fresh air.

Once again, great discussions this week! I really liked the one about difficulty in games, and whether old games were more difficult purely from necessity.

The worst game of the year for me has been NightSky for Mac because it did not work at all. So, it completely failed at even being a game.
I actually refunded it on Steam despite paying about 50p for it in a sale.

Well, you know, I just got into PC gaming this year, so a lot of things!
I first played Proteus right at the end of last year, so it doesn't count.
But I did play The Stanley Parable this year, and it was as exactly up my alley as I expected it to be. Funny and thought provoking about games and their key aspects.
I also…

Also it's got Airship Fortress in it, which I think might be my favourite MK track ever.

I'm not sure that does make it excusable. I mean, a celebration of all things MH would surely be "let's gather everyone's favourite parts throughout the series". So what did they do, did they think the gathering quests were what everyone loved the most?

Ooh, interesting! If only I could understand what everyone was saying :(
A few things to note - Luke was able to talk to animals in the original ones. It's hard to tell whether the animals are actually understandable to other humans here or if it's just Lady Layton who can understand them.
Also, one of the repeated…

Thanks for the info!

Actually, I just did a bit of research, and found this:

which describes the typeface as "that font from terrible Japanese horror games". Nice article. And I guess the typeface is famous with the right sort of people :p

Don't the Legendaries respawn if you've KO'd them when you beat the Elite Four again?
