Adventure, excitement (and ehness)
Feb. 26th, 2023 09:10 pmLast night I ended up starting Lost In Random for a Xbox reward quest. I’d got it awhile ago on sale but never started it (the trailer interested me when I saw it). So far I did most of the intro section and I’m not sure what to think of it just yet. It’s kinda good but kinda…. I dunno exactly. But I like the ghost thing, it was cute.
I meant to start the Far sequel before it leaves game pass but I didn’t and I don’t think I will (I don’t think I can run through it in a few days, which is a shame). Ah well, I’d had it lingering for so long (I really need to stop just downloading game pass stuff and never even starting them).
Last night I put on the next of the Who audios on bbc sounds and it was a pretty good one. It was all about a bunch of sontarans which were pretty ballsy and trying to get in on the time war. Neither daleks nor Time Lords wanted them involved (even when they offered a hostage) but it didn’t stop them trying.
Today was the trip to Birmingham which I have mixed feelings about.
Mum did better than I thought with the day, managing to do more walking than expected, though she was wisely able to sit out the standing for the signing part (thanks hmv people for that!)
My new pod thing also ended up dying part way through the day which was odd.I thought the switch charger was charging it (it fits in the slot) so that’s a little… concerning. I’ll have to see if I can find the lead that was in the box to see if it’ll charge from that, if not… then I have to let Amazon know.
First stop was hmv to pick up the albums. I also got a Where’s Wookiee collectors box (that mum spotted for £1.99), the new Scream film, Venom Let There Be Carnage (neither of which I’ve seen) and the blu ray version of the matrix (which I still need to rewatch the trilogy of before the new one)
Next stop was Forbidden Planet where I was only aiming to get the new Doctor Who magazine special (of 1988 which is the silver anniversary season) which they had, but they also had a bunch of Doctor Who graphic novels for 99p so… I got a load. Despite having a bunch I’ve still not read, Oop. I also got a special funko of Boba Fett’s throne, with Fennec which was reduced too and looks pretty cool.
Then we went in a few other places too. To my surprise I got a fortnite tee and mini funko thing from Poundland (and new earphones cause the ones I used for watching streams died). I got an Omega figure and headset from Game (just in case I do decide to stream resident evil 4). And I got a Lego birds nest set from Lego (alas they didn’t have the lovebird set). Lego also had Bowser on display with the guitar on him which was so fun.
Then we had noms in McDonald’s which was ok (alas they didn’t have the galaxy caramel ice cream for some reason) before heading back for the signing. (And for that we go under the cut)
( Read more... )
On the way back home I saw the sunset in the distance which was pretty and I think I saw Jupiter and Venus in the sky (or maybe they were just bright stars, I’m not sure). And now I’m home and feel pretty wiped out so I might sleep soon after the lost symbol’s been on.
Tomorrow mum’s friend is coming which is… eh. I’ll stay up as long as I can cause she can be kinda loud (and I hope she doesn’t need me to go to town to pay money in or anything) and then there’s the Pokémon stream.
