BTTR weekly update 22 March
So, last week was a bit of a struggle. After having a bit of an existential crisis around the decision to work on BTTR, I took a step back and decided I needed …

Writing again.
Tech journalist with 20+ years behind me. Running BTTR.reviews. Writing here about everything else — music, family, food, the odd rant, and the weird stuff in between.
Well, they’re setting the gang up for some pretty big storms given the amount of quiet in this episode. 3 episodes left.
My guess is that at the end of the season Omega will be abducted and the Batch will have to try and rescue her… in season 3.
I am loving the Bo Katan Kryze story at the moment. She saw the mythosaur and is having a crisis of faith.
So many connections to Clone Wars and Rebels here. Can’t wait to see where it goes from here.
Today I decided to take a step back and reprioritise my content plan. It meant I don’t have much to show for what I did today, but hopefully it will springboard to faster growth.
BTTR Weekly update 15 March
I have to tell you, I was struggling at the start of this week. I’ve been pumping out pages for this site for about 2 months now, and while I’m starting to get …

Classic! Introduced it to the kids last night. They loved it, though a scene or two caused some uncomfortable questions…
This was so much fun, even though the girls decided to gang up on me. Had victory snatched from my fingertips at the last moment.
Played #MunchkinDisney on 2023-03-11 with 3 players, winning score: 10
Two very different Star Wars episodes this week, but both were exceptional. I loved watching Bo Katan be an absolute kick-ass Mandalorian. I’ve long been a fan of Katee Sackhoff, but this episode was …
BTTR Weekly update 7 March
I’m definitely running late on publishing the weekly update this week. It’s been a crazy few days, including my daughter getting prepped for high school and a …

Where did the last decade go?
Hogwarts Battle destroyed me this weekend
I hate losing. This weekend, my wife and I played the Hogwarts Battle board game, with the Monster Box of Monsters expansion. It had been a while since we last …
Continue reading →I really enjoyed the return of Mando this week. Grogu was superb, and there are plenty of threads for the show to explore this season. But Bad Batch this week was even better. Real horror movie vibes …
Now that the old barbecue is toast, I’ve had to pull out the Weber Q from retirement and… it cooks like a dream.
I am really going to miss this TV when it gets collected.
BTTR weekly update 27 Feb
I hit a big milestone this past week on BTTR. For the first time, Search Console is telling me that it has indexed more pages than not. Given you can’t get …

What a morning. Today I did my civic duty reporting in for Jury Duty. That meant I sat around for hours waiting for the panels to be called so they could select …

I really enjoyed this. I thought Jonathan Majors was excellent as Kang, and am really keen to see what he brings in the rest of the MCU.
It did have the odd pacing issue, and Bill Murray was wasted here, but overall, it was an enjoyable experience, and much better than I expected.
Not as good as the first one, but still a bit of fun. Love the 4th wall moments too.
Third movie is inevitable. Will definitely watch it when it comes out.
I am absolutely, 100% earwormed by every track on the new Paramore album. The only way I can get one song out of my head is by mentally singing another song from the album. It’s great. 🎵
BTTR Weekly update
BTTR enjoyed its second record traffic week in a row last week. Over 600 pageviews for the week, which is still nowhere near where I want it to be, but also …

Played against Lauren while the kids played video games. Ended up getting lots of spells that forced her to discard cards from her hand, so she couldn’t get enough tokens to gain new cards. Her defeat came quickly, in the end.
Won #HarryPotterHogwartsBattle–DefenceAgainsttheDarkArts on 2023-02-19 with 2 players, winning score: 3
I never really loved Cars like I did the earlier Pixar movies. The movie is fine — it’s a good story, well acted, and looks pretty spectacular in 4K. But I still just don’t really love it.
First play through of Goonies: Never Say Die today. I played as Goondocks Master, Lauren, and Kara played as Goonies; Mikey and Data respectively. Made a few mistakes, like I didn’t put out enough …
Nothing quite starts arguments in this house like trying to play 4 player Overcooked.
This morning has been a roller coaster of affiliate network approvals, rejections, technical challenges and implementations.
Don’t even get me started on the tax forms. Ugh.
