  1. I am a fan of the Neon Genesis: Evangelion tv series and had been watching the Rebuild movies as they came out.

     

    Evangelion: 1.0 You Are (Not) Alone and Evangelion: 2.0 You Can (Not) Advance were quite good, but not as enjoyable as the series.

     

    To my surprise, the 4th movie was released the other week and I had completely missed the 3rd, so I went back to watch Evangelion: 3.0 You Can (Not) Redo.

     

    It was an utter, incomprehensible waste of time.  I thought perhaps I had missed something important which would make sense of the messy soulless plot line but after reading synopsis and other reviews, it seems this was just a cash-in on the name with cardboard cutouts of popular characters uttering a couple of lines in the entire movie.

     

    I am not going to bother with the 4th movie.  I will go back to the tv series and forget the Rebuild exists.

  2. The better half and I are playing an early access survival game - Valheim!

     

    A brutal exploration and survival game for 1-10 players, set in a procedurally-generated purgatory inspired by viking culture. Battle, build, and conquer your way to a saga worthy of Odin’s patronage!

    Key features:

    • Huge procedurally-generated world – explore and inhabit mystical lands, from mysterious forests to imposing snow-topped mountain ranges and stunning meadows, complete with their own creatures of legend to battle and wildlife to hunt.
    • Co-op PvE (2-10 players) – - Whether you want to brave the lands alone or venture with trusted allies, Valheim supports independent, player-hosted servers and unlimited world creation. We recommend playing co-op with 3-5 players.
    • Punishing dodge & block based combat system with a wide range of weapons
    • Build & sail ships – from flimsy rafts to imposing warships, build legendary vessels to conquer the seas and discover new lands.
    • Summon and defeat vengeful primordial bosses of myth and legend, and collect trophies to progress and craft new powerful items
    • Flexible house and base building system – raise mead halls, farms, settlements outposts, castles and more.
    • Intuitive item crafting – forge the finest weapons and armour, and craft food and mead.
    • Dedicated server- for players who want to run a persistent server. If you prefer not to run a server on your PC, consider renting a server at G-Portal.

     

    Despite being early access, we have not yet come across any bugs or glitches.  Time just melts away.  I wish I had holidays at the moment so I could play for a decent slab of time!

     

    Building is addictive - I wanted to quickly add a mezzanine floor for storage to the base and somehow spent 4 glorious hours completely redesigning and building instead.

     

    The food system is a little annoying, as you have to eat a variety of foods - your character will not eat the same thing within a certain time period.

    I have however not read disc world so I don't know how it is supposed to look like.

     

    This is the quintessential image of the Night Watch for me.  Paul Kidby is an amazing artist and I love his Discworld work.  I have several of the artworld of Discworld books.

    It is more than the art though. 

     

    The characters have been significantly (I have to say) mutilated.  It is sort of like "In a mirror, Darkly".  Death in particular has been utterly twisted and is the opposite of how he is portrayed throughout the books (other than his early irritation with Rincewind in the first couple of books, while Pratchett was still developing the world)
