  1. I finished watching it around the same time. They could've finished it at season 7. This was on par with Game of Thrones for dull endings. Especially the pawning off of Harrison, and his killer girlfriend just not dyeing her fucking hair.
  2. I must be a camera god. Done just under 20 stars in Mario 64 and barely having camera problems at all. I had more issues in Sunshine. But it's on the backburner as a casual side game naow as I play Abzu and replay Captain Toad. I know I'll make it my bitch again.
  3. Only couple of quid on eShop.
  4. Maybe they operate the same as the other place I ordered from. (Foolishly) After I placed the order I thought I'd send off a nice tweet to them about whether they actually had it in stock, because I didn't really want to wait. The response: "While we don't actually carry stock on hand for Manga titles, it is readily available to order in from our suppliers and ship out to you." Not the most encouraging response, but maybe they know where I can direct my query - "Many thanks, where might I be able to enquire about if it is in stock? The store doesn't mention either way, and the Facebook/Twitter links provided bring me to you." What they came back to me with: "As mentioned in the previous tweet, stock isn't actually on hand - if you ordered it on our site, we would then have to order in a copy." Not really what I asked them. So basically = they don't know. I'm not really wanting to deal with middlemen if they just don't know, so I held my tongue replying and just cancelled my order.
  5. Managed to do the last of my Mario Galaxy 120 stars in handheld mode, the last one being the manta surfing trial star (which I had to slide out the Joycons and hold console in hand, as the controls weren't as tight). One thing I do wish towards the end with all the comets is that at least one other stayed after the rest, I had to keep going back to the Luma to make them appear each time. I've never done 120 on Wii, was most excited when Rosalina said I could reach another world with them after rechallenging Bowser. However it seems I must do all 120 again with Weegee before I can go back to Mushroom Kingdom "Galaxy". As great fun as doing all this was, I'm not really in the mood of repeating it all over again any time soon for 1 extra star. It's giving me feels to plow through Captain Toad again. Or I might start Mario 64, see how it holds up in my hands.
  6. Crivens. I fear how long Hero Quest will take...
  7. I've been around the houses here this morning. Cancelled the order on Zavvi as I saw it cheaper on anime-on-line for £125, have now requested that order to be cancelled as its on the Amazon for £112.
  8. Hopefully a promising new development for EEVIL, a job borderline identical to what I'm on now (due to end in Feb((and on more money)) doing same kind of consultant work was open and planned on applying during annual leave last week, but vacancy was closed. So I emailed one of the colleagues I've been chatting to previously about similar opportunities and she reopened the vacancy for me to apply. It's another 12 month maternity cover - I can't seem to get enough of doing these kind of gigs. Current (and previous job) were these too, but it keeps me in the NHS doing shit I've been doing for 2 years. Just need to get an interview now. No special treatment sadly, which I wouldn't have minded as it would've been for me. Ah well
  9. What was the release date for this? I thought it was beginning of the month, but I can't find the date anywhere, and other websites appear to be having it in stock
  10. Most possibly, but I suspect the actual story content will be much shorter.
  11. If you're expecting anything beyond 1-2 hours of actual story, you be crazy.
  12. If the Great White Hope President Trump doesn't manage to hold on to his title - I will give it a year before Biden is House of Cards'd out of the White House and Harris takes over.
  13. It isn't one that is traveling automatically so you can't really do anything halfway through. Managed to do it though, ground pounding to stop any potential sliding. 76 shines and working through Pianta Village, just done *another* "secret", so that was... refreshing.
  14. Aye, it just has several average water themed levels. The blue coins and constant "secret" levels still remind me of how lazily they've made some of this. I'd rather they got rid of it if they're not going to try. Currently stuck on the Hotel Lobby Secret, that lil bastard Mario will not stay on that revolving thing. It's one of the slowest things and he just can't stop showing off his acrobatics and failing miserably. The lack of freedom to get non-level specific shines every time, in some instances I understand, but it's a case of "you want other shines? Fuck you, get this one first" Still, not a bad entry. [I confess, I didn't find the pachinko one that hard either - spent more time going round in circles than falling out the bottom]
  15. I've been doing that at work. No one has said anything, if they're management aren't going to hire staff and make me feel uncomfortable telling patients all day every day they've gotta wait for a letter/etc. I'm gonna be as comfortable as possible. Had an interview for somewhere, didn't get it. So meeh there. On leave this week, which is nice. I know that following Boris' announcement we'll be getting more calls from people wanting/asking/expecting a letter saying they can shield. But they've got a rota set up so going forward me and the other secretary will be alternating working at home/coming in the office - not sure if this announcement may have thrown a spanner in that. But the actual prospect of working from home... seems weird considering I've been sat at a five desk island by myself for 7-8 months (christened Derek Island, complete with own flag) I can have dictations coming out my speakers and have Nintendo Radio playing when I'm doing other things.
  16. https://newsthump.com/2020/10/31/boris-lockdown-announcement-delayed-until-he-can-prevent-it-looking-like-hes-doing-exactly-what-keir-starmer-told-him-to-do/ The bravado by the government is just so aggravating. They can queef out all that "following the science", when it showed that they didn't really. And when faced with additional science, examples set across the world, a suggestion by future Prime Minister Keir Starmer, Boris said "Ooooh, nooo, local lockdowns are cool, you feel me? Never gonna tell the country what to do" Now possibly his biggest u-turn ever, which I think is in part a decoy from the Rashford stuff, now with furlough having to be extended, maybe the meals thing will too, but this was all Boris' idea. Honest!
  17. My brother and I had a dual tattoo planned for 7-8 Nov, as you can imagine, has now been cancelled... 2020 just made it personal. Now on leave for a week and got the sniffles, as is tradition this time of year. Naturally I hope it's nothing worse, but I'm going through my yearly ritual of plowing myself of Lemsip sachets and Beechams flu plus. Should resolve in a couple of days.
  18. Those models best be painted before you even begin to play that game.
  19. Good to know that, it makes me less interested in doing them now they don't have the targeted approach. Many thanks
  20. Getting more into the classes now, trying at least once a week, got myself a compression shirt (not just a pretty name, I wasn't expecting that much compression) and some of those "MULTIPLE USE" head things that you can use as a facemask and all sorts of shit, which I use as a sweatband on my head. Squats are still not my friend, it royally fucks my knees, which I put down to my Osgood–Schlatter disease, so I sometimes have to stop and wiggle my legs a bit. And anything core-related, which is annoying as I want to get rid of some of this flab around my midriff, but they exercises make me feel so nauseous.
  21. If I was public/patient facing, I might consider it. However the number of people who would see me in this mask would not even reach double figures.
  22. Great to hear all the success stories above. Can't wear my Majora's Mask mask, have to be "surgical" ones. And have three a day.
  23. Got today off as they're deep cleaning the whole office as we all got a text yesterday saying one of our colleagues has been COVID confirmed. Shall see if we're allowed back in tomorrow... EDIT: got the text earlier, back in tomorrow, but have to wear masks all day when not eating/drinking. So glad I has my Zelda ones naow, they so soft.
  24. Do it to the whole soundtrack Nintendo. I know you can do it
  25. I also think that they think it's some sort of scare tactic, like saying you're going to take your business elsewhere "I'm thinking that I'm going to have to go private as it's taking too long." "Oh you said the magic word, look at that! You can come in tomorrow now! Please don't go private, I beg you"
