I am a week late writing this up but I am once again going to talk about the joy of the Eurovision Song Contest. There's also some photos and rambling about other stuff. Kadek hosted Eurovision as usual, and I met a dog! Her housemates have a puppy now. She's a mix of a dachshund … Continue reading It’s the 2nd-most wonderful time of the year
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. I've decided they are in hiding … Continue reading More from Appaloosa Plains
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 hoping that if we vacuum out … Continue reading Invite the joy of The Sims into your life
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 in this version, but the cats … Continue reading I love The Sims
I haven't blogged for ages, not since January if you don't count my last post, which was in the works for a while. I'm not up to a lot at the moment because I am having Chronic Fatigue problems.
Kadek of The Spicy Bean came over at the weekend, mainly so we could have the Annual General Meeting for the charity we both run, but also so that we could have fun trying to make jalapeno cheese bread. This is something I've had on a "things to try" list in my notebook this year, … Continue reading Adventures in bread
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 doesn't seem right to me. I … Continue reading Fantasy casting: TR 1996
We had our 2nd barbecue at the weekend, just in time for the end of summer. Well, August has suddenly decided to kick things up a gear just as we're all looking forwards to Halloween, and it's now really hot and sunny even though most of the month actually wasn't. It's 27°C as I type … Continue reading Ending summer
I've been playing the original Tomb Raider on the PS3 recently. It's the only console that we've unpacked since moving here (and also the only one we have the right cable with to make it work with my partner's TV). I had a sudden aching to play the Anniversary version, but PS2 disks don't work … Continue reading The Tomb Raider Trilogy on PS3
