Do I wait until the HBO series is done, which could well be 4 years or so down the line depending on how long it takes to film?

19. Slayers X: Terminal Aftermath: Vengeance of the Slayer (Xbox Series X)
Well. I know this is supposed to be a bad game on purpose, but oh boy it's a bad game, and not in a tongue in cheek way either.

43. JURASSIC PARK - ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 1/2

The Knuckles one is limited to 1000 - the one with Eggman is just a standard Loungefly release I think as I've seen that in quite a few places.

There's two new ones, I spotted them last night - that one lights up.
There's a Knuckles one with a Master Emerald, too.

18. The Plucky Squire (PS5)
Got another one out of the backlog, and what a wonderful little game it is. I'm only two trophies off the Platinum so I might use a guide to go back and get those if Chapter Select lets you save them, otherwise I'm happy to leave it where it is.

17. Jak & Daxter: The Lost Frontier (PSP) - Platinum
And that's this franchise done. This one hasn't upscaled well onto the PS5, but I appreciate the idea of trying to put a full J&D experience on a handheld.
Daxter is the better game though. Just about.

They underperformed under ten Hag at the start of the season and they've been no better - arguably even worse - under Amorim.
I fully back the ideas he's got to turn us around. I just hope the funds are there to help him do it.

A few people I worked with when I lived in Chingford are Spurs fans and I know they'll be overjoyed with that, so in time I'm sure I'll be happy for them.
For now though, I just want the Villa game to be done and then get the massive rebuild done. A lot of those players need to go.

It's a decent little package - shame it didn't have more games on it (they could have thrown Galaxy 2 on there seeing as the first one is on it), but it's still not a bad thing to have.

16. Pac-Man World: Re-Pac (PS5)
If it wasn't for the whole "hey, be really good at OG Pac-Man" thing, I think I'd have a crack at the Platinum for this.
I'm useless at OG Pac-Man though, so I'll settle with managing to get through a fairly simple platformer with some rock hard final levels.

Did it!
So that's about an hour of trying this evening, not to mention the hour or two yesterday..
Rest of the game has to be slightly easier than that, right? Right?!?

Actually, I'll rephrase as I probably could do it without dying if that was the only thing I had to do - getting a Gold Crown on that level is painful.

I mean, I can recognise SOME kanji & katakana, and some words have stuck in my head, but in the 4-5 weeks since I've been back from Japan I've realised just how little I actually knew before I went, despite that being the reason I started it in the first place.

Fantastic. I feel like that I should watch this at some point - might campaign for Disney to add it to Disney+ in 4K.
They put Ewoks and Droids on there, so there's hope, right?

They have another one where they're like "apparently our name has caused confusion", as if somebody genuinely believed a company that offered pet preservation via pickling them would stick an advert on UK mainstream radio.

So, they're offering people the chance to get 12 months insurance for the price of 11 by using a discount code. Twelve for eleven. Pretty simple, yeah?
Only...is it TwelveForEleven? Or maybe 12411? Or Twelve4Eleven? Or perhaps 12For11?
The advert does not make it clear, and that's why it annoys me

42. ROGUE ONE: A STAR WARS STORY - ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 1/2
(Review from 2019)

There's additional reasons - was told I couldn't be anywhere customer facing, which would make my job slightly harder - but the main one is a body image thing.
Hurrah.

15. Voodoo Vince: Remastered (Xbox One)
Another one from the backlog. I loved this game on the OG Xbox and bought the Remastered one years ago, but couldn't get into it the same way. It's decent enough, but my word the last few levels are platforming hell.

14. Daxter (PS5) - Platinum
I remember playing this on PSP, but must have stopped around the halfway mark. Finished it today and yeah, it's not bad. Doesn't have the difficulty spike the other J&D games had, and I quite enjoyed my time with it.

Ok, gone through it once, had to stop myself doing it a second time XD
Let me get a drink and I'll be right with you - twitch.tv/gavvie

Instead of telling Mena about it and saying "this will follow on from CW & Rebels", I had to be more like "this might lead into Solo", which is a strange connection to make but it's the one I know.
Explaining Ashoka to her was fun, too.

Like, I know enough to go "oh, this is from Clone Wars" or "this bit references Rebels", but that's it, and where everybody was excited for the Maul show, it just feels like something else that I should be excited for too, but I don't have the investment in yet.

I don't think the photo really does the size justice - this is around A4 size, and it easily weighs around 3-4kg if I was to take a guess.

As for what it looks like inside - the illustrations are gorgeous but I wouldn't recommend it to people who struggle to read small fonts as the text is TINY.
I'm looking forward to reading it in bed and knocking myself out when I inevitably fall asleep whilst holding it 😂

So this thing is over 1200 pages long as it's all 12 novels, so it's a very chunky thing. Also, being second hand it's slightly damaged as the Keyblade which is supposed to dangle off the side of the box looks like it snapped off, but eh - this retailed for £200 and I paid £65 so I could care less.

A friend found a bundle of 6 on Vinted, but the seller made a cockup and sent them somewhere entirely different, so it was refunded and that, I thought, would be that. But then I found a really good deal on the collected omnibus.

Also, I wonder if the renaming is official down to a ratings level - would the BBFC have to re-rate it?
