Filofax redux
10 years ago I had a Filofax. A bit of green paper from it is what I first wrote my phone number on for Will, and he still keeps the same bit of paper in his wallet, even though the number itself has long ceased to exist. It was...
Big brain time
I’ve been doing a lot of lying down for the past couple of days because, of all things, I managed to pull my urethral sphincter. How did I do it? I was laughing at something the cat did, and suddenly, pain. I didn’t even pee but apparently my urethra...
More from Planet Zoo
I decided to try my hand at another sandbox zoo, after the one I was originally working on started crashing. In my last zoo I was going to have all the animals of the world in different sections. However, I was still working on the Africa section when it...
I’d love to run a zoo
Believe it or not, my floorplanning obsession did not actually start with houses. While I have always wanted to build my own house, and I was stupidly small when I started scribbling designs, my first floorplan was actually a zoo! I did it on the back of a spare...
Fantasy casting: Biohazard/ Resident Evil
You may remember that nearly a year ago now I listed my casting ideas for Tomb Raider. I’ve been watching lots of Resident Evil (a.k.a. Biohazard, バイオハザード) longplays recently to get my nostalgia fix. These got me thinking about how, as with Tomb Raider, I’d love for a movie...
More from Appaloosa Plains
Here’s some more madness from my current game of The Sims 3. I’m really gonna try to stop screenshotting things now. It’s basically a weird survival house; this family have been burned before, because they are literal ghosts, so they “live” in this weird house to avoid anything else....
Invite the joy of The Sims into your life
I am currently in mourning for our PS3. It won’t start up for long without just cutting out. Obviously I am very bummed, not only because of the current game of The Sims I have going, but because of all the Tomb Raider saves on there and stuff. I’m...
I love The Sims
Undeniably inspired by Giant Bomb’s “13 Deadly Sims” segment, a while ago I felt the need to hunt down wherever we’d packed The Sims 3 Pets for PS3. I understand that the PS3 is a bit dated now, but I still totally recommend it. There aren’t horses and stuff...
Fantasy casting: TR 1996
A new Tomb Raider film is coming out, based on the second reboot of the storyline, the third-era games. There were previous Tomb Raider films with Angelina Jolie as Lara, who was probably the best casting option possible at the time. The new film stars Alicia Vikander, who honestly...
Recent life things
Yo, here’s some stuff that’s been happening. This one’s probably boring, but a while ago, our toilet started running. You might have an amusing image in your head, but actually, it just means that our cistern was leaking and the toilet was essentially flushing itself about once a minute...
