Pro tip - don’t mix Irn Bru with spiced rum. Bought some for making eggnog and thought I’d sample it but the only mixer on hand was Irn Bru. Might have somewhat got my measurements mixed up and it tastes far too sweet and it’s easy enough to knock back that my fingers and toes are a bit numb.
@kyleforrester87 the stand is so good! I did read it after I had read the dark tower books though so I was really into the whole Stephen king connected universe at the time. It was about twelve years ago though so I wonder how it'd hold up now. I loved the 6 hour TV movie too and I really want to get the dvd so I can watch it again!
@ralphdibny all I remember about the TV movie was the first half being really really good and the second half not so much? I must have been about 10-11 when I saw it though.
I’m only on chapter 3-4 of the book, good read so far though.
@kyleforrester87 it does go kinda crazy toward the end! But I still love the whole thing though. I think it's kind of what was good about Stephen king, he'd start off with a familiar premise with almost stereotypical characters that would become relatable with it all converging into whatever (usually entertaining) event his drug addled mind came up with in those days. I don't think he lost it when he came off the drugs though, I've enjoyed almost every Stephen king book I've read and most films based on his books
@RogerRoger After being told by a lecturer today that “if you were a builder then that bit of code would be a house with no doors, windows or bricks”... I think I’m going to need that rum 😂😂
@Arugula One upside to the pandemic — no Thanksgiving get-togethers! With the vaccine on the horizon, I have to admit that there are parts of COVID that I appreciate.

@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy I see, very interesting, You must have enjoyed Bloodborne as well then, if Dark Souls III is your favourite in the series? (The combat is very similar, obviously - they used the same engine).
Also, regarding your thoughts on Demon's Souls I think I will get it on PS5 anyway as it is the only game in the series I haven't beaten apart from Dark Souls 2 which I really just could not get to grips with. Maybe if you get it dirt cheap in a couple of years we can experience it together - I'm sure I will replay it if I can manage to beat it.

@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy That’s essentially my thoughts too. It’s not a bad game and I’d never say it was, I just have too many gripes with the design to really praise it.
@nessisonett As soon as it happened it was a sickening few minutes until I saw the shots of him sitting in the medical car. Looked like something out of a film with the explosion of flames. When we got the shots of the back half of the car and just a mangle of metal it seemed impossible someone could have walked out of it. That monocoque with the halo is a miraculous piece of engineering.
@RogerRoger Thanks for getting in touch mate.
1. Yes I'm happy for you to lead, I know you'll do a great job.
2. Yes I would like to judge one of the categories.
I like the idea of three separate categories with a judge on each. My schedule aside from wanting to play Cyberpunk will be free so no problems.
I also think not including any PS5 games is fair cos it may gave some an advantage.
