Some Aquaman. It'll no doubt be kinda crap given the whole DCEU being super shit at this point, but like some of the designs for this are pretty cool and super-faithful. and some Shazam Like...it's more lighthearted for sure. But not really buying Zachary Levi in the role, and saw the suit other day and kinda hated it. It looks like any other superhero outfit, and really disliking the 'circuit board' type texturing going on when it's kinda meant to be more magical than...well technical I guess. It looks a bit like cosplay, like that Conan superhero suit. It'll be interesting to see if they pull this off, it's kind of their GotG watershed. If it succeeds then maybe the DCEU does well. Shazam is certainly, within the wider world, one of their more obscure characters.

I play it. Levelling up manually is for chumps. You should every now n then get the better cauldrons from completing sections of the island. Uuse them to get higher level pokemon. The Silver one nets you lvl 40-60 pokemon. No idea on the gold, not gotten that yet but cleared the main island. Then use the weaker shitty pokemon to level up or change the moves on your more powerful team.

More Clone Wars in-bound. I wonder if they'll do anything with the fact Rebels introduced time travel (of sorts) to Star Wars.

I think you mean:

It's like the number one played song at the pub I frequent so it's more a defacto thing.

I recently triggered that quest. Knew of it from a while ago cos of the AC-FFXV crossover stuff (which at least is still around in AC. FFXV with its stupid limited time events). Wondering if I want to bother with it, but special gear I guess can be neat. Not like it'd ruin much given I'm wearing Ezio's gear most of the game so far.

It's a bit of a "Direct to DVD" type thing over here too. While Shaun first showed up in Wallace n Gromit he's been part of his (kinda long running) TV show. Turns out they've had 150 (quite short) episodes. I'd imagine the film re-used a lot of the existing sets and such. Anywho watched Incredibles 2 with my dad n younger bro. It's decent, though the first is still far superior. I think the more cartoony look helps too, not sure why they felt the need to up the 'quality' of the models, especially giving them all eye bags for some reason. There was a few pretty great moments, but overall it was fairly obvious on the villain front, like I'm amazed they spent 10 minutes on the pizza delivery guy instead of like 30 seconds it deserved. Kind of spread itself thin on a few too many themes and subplots and they don't even wholly mesh together like in the first one with its big group pose scene. It's still pixar, so gold standard n all that lot, and i'd likely watch again but if given choice it'd be The Incredibles in a heart beat. We didn't get a briefing, we did get that Bao film though, which was slightly cute and yet slightly disturbing.

I only knew of video cos I follow Brian Cox on Twitter. The length difference is weird too as there's bits in the video not in the podcast.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p06dmygk Figured this might be of interest to some Americans, and to appeal to them it's got DeGrasse Tyson on. A science panel, special 100th episode so it's been put up to watch on iPlayer and features a bunch of past guests. Including a vicar and reverend in "theology corner". Given how religion and science are usually put at odds in the US, or so it hugely seems, thought it might interest to see how CofE deals with it all.

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/geekon/the-ultimate-boardgame-backpack I saw this on Facebook. Watched the video, it all looked kinda neat. Turns out it's $170+. Now boardgames aren't exactly cheap, but a bag for life is much cheaper, and same with the old granny trolley we used to wheel stuff around in.

Probably. One of the ear buds had been the fritz anyway, but given I rarely have both in cos I like to not get ran over hadn't bothered me. So might just have been a coincidence.

This is information that would have been useful some time ago! Also I like how my pokestop gifts I get are all "Victorian Indoor Market", "Old Town Post Office" "Town Obelisk", "the Golden Lion" (sooo many pubs are stops). And I get a gift from Jay now he's in US and it's from a mobile phone shop. The deep and rich Us history and culture!

Let's be friends in Pokémon GO! My Trainer Code is 1984 0058 4812! Also really bummed to find out the Squirtle community day wasn't really a "day" but a few hours. I found this out an hour after that finished.

Got me some of these on order: Got back from night out to find my current headset no longer works. Anker have been good to me in the past, and I'm fairly happy with this kind of bluetooth headset form factor at this point. Also got Baby Driver on blu-ray...which my mum currently has.

Persona 5 was on sale for like the first time ever (usually still like £50), so grabbed it. Probably won't be booting until like August mind.

Fancy new stunt bots from Disney. I wonder if you'd still enjoy as much knowing it's robots doing all this.

Witcher 3 Samurai Jack style.

I'm about 10hrs or so in too. I guess I wasn't expecting "souls", but yeah a sort of 'reboot' was expected with this. I guess in many ways it is quite different. I was tickled to see they've got back the syndication tower thingies (though mainly to enable fast travel), which I'm fairly sure they got rid of in Syndicate (though it's been a while since I played that). The inventory system is a bit...clunky. Reminds me a bit of Mass Effect 1 with its big ass list. It's weird cos the "mouse pointer" type control is pretty much like Destiny and I think that did quite well for an inventory UI, especially with the frequency you get new weapons n armour. I agree he reminds me of Ezio, can't quite place my finger on why.

Seems...different.

Bought "Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes" for PSVR. Popping round to a mates this weekend n planning on having a fair bit of PSVR/PS4 co-op playing n such.
