I have been holding off on the expanded Switch online offering since it launched. I just couldn’t see the value. But this… this could change things. 🎮 GoldenEye 007 Has Online Multiplayer On Nintendo Switch But Not On Xbox press-start.com.au/news/nint… Continue reading →

I have spent way to much time this week organising my Marvel Champions collection, only to discover I need more packs to add to my Marvel Champions collection. 🎲

Just having one of those days when I have enough time to update to the newest version of iOS but not enough time to play around with it.

I love the way The Mandalorian has captured all the great elements of Star Wars and managed to keep it building over 2.5 seasons. This teaser for season 3 has me all kinds of excited!

Happily defeated Ungoliant’s Spawn with a little help from Gandalf and Aragorn. Second play through was a little tougher than the first, but still fun! 🎲

I’m enjoying She-Hulk when I watch it, but it’s also really forgettable? If they didn’t sum up the previous episode at the beginning, I would have no recollection of what happened. I can barely remember this episode, and I just finished watching it. 📺

Episode one of Rings of Power was spectacular. Stunning visuals and a solid setup for what is set to be an epic series. Loved it. 📺

Watching a presentation where the slides have green buttons on a blue background and it offends my sensibilities.

I recently decided to replay the Batman Arkham games. Great decision - they hold up really well, with fluid combat, a tight story and an immersive world to explore. I even managed to get the Platinum trophy for Arkham Asylum. I had so much fun I decided to try for the Platinum trophy in Arkham City. Not a great decision. I’ve spent weeks replaying a single fight in the hopes of unlocking the Perfect Freeflow 2. Continue reading →

Parent/teacher interviews for the eldest this afternoon. Exciting times!

Happy Father’s Day to me. Going to have a lot of fun with this I think. 🎲

Started my Father’s Day with some Boba Fett waffles made by my daughter. This is the way. 🧇🥞

For the past 2.5 years or so, we’ve been trying to watch every Disney movie since Snow White. It has expanded and changed over time, but today we are watching A Bug’s Life. 🍿

There are a lot of things I like about living in the outer suburbs of Sydney. For example: Just last week I picked up my daughter from school, took a 5-minute detour from our usual commute home through the local Botanic Gardens and ended up watching about a dozen kangaroos hopping across a field. But this post isn’t about the Gardens, (though I’m sure I’ll write about that soon). Instead, it’s about recycling. Continue reading →

The last couple of Muse albums didn’t really do it for me, but I’m digging this one 🎶:

There are now too many choices.

Whether it’s deciding what book I should read next, choosing the next show to binge watch on Netflix (or Disney Plus more likely in our household), or finding a new video game to play, I am frequently overwhelmed with the sheer number of options available.

I feel that the 4 day work week outlined here will be inevitable for some businesses, eventually. Though it won’t happen any time soon for most of us. ia.acs.org.au

Flashback to this stunning sunset at the Three Sisters.

I’m actually shocked at how hard I’m finding it to write. There was a time, a little over a decade ago, that I would regularly pump out thousands of words a day. I’d trawl the internet for the latest tech news, finding my own unique angles. I’d go to events and write about them, then spend time investigating and writing up follow up stories. I found an audience and gave them what they wanted. Continue reading →

Early in the pandemic, I was looking for a new hobby. For the past couple of decades, I’ve enthusiastically enjoyed spending my free time playing video games as my “hobby of choice”. But as I’ve gotten older, I’ve found that whipping out the old DualShock (DualSense now?) to bring be less joy. All of this aligned with me hitting my 40s. I’d never had as much disposable income. My kids were hitting the age where they can look after themselves a little bit. Continue reading →
