THIS POD LIFE: RPG'EY MUGS

3D open-world, emergent gameplay, narrative branching, deep mechanics, engaging characters, absorbing story. That's my 'thing'. If a game has at least three of these qualities then likely it'll be my sort of past time.Not so keen on ye olde Tolkien rip-offs that so many RPG's just can't let go of, but even so, I'll still give it a look.On the other hand I am glad that the run of Viking based games hasn't been overwhelming. Not a fan of Vikings...

SPACE: ELON MUSK AND THE QUEST FOR THE INTERPLANETARY HOT SHOWER

Shock revelations today from an ex-SpaceX employee who claims to have worked closely with Elon Musk on the Starship program. According to the source, Musk's Boca Chica facility is not a rocket production facility, but instead a heavily disguised hot water cylinder production center.'They're disguising it by making these things fly, but the real goal is for Elon to be take be able to a long hot shower when he's down here in Boca Chica, anywhere...

SPACE: THE SURPRISING FUTURE OF SPACE TRAVEL

The Artemis program is an ongoing crewed spaceflight program carried out predominantly by NASA. Here's how well that'll turn out: Firstly, NASA will cancel the Artemis program because that's what Congress does when it comes to manned spaceflight. Sorry, but you don't have to be a NASA engineer to know that's the case. Elon Musk will suffer a breakdown exacerbated by un-diagnosed bipolar disorder and a burst blood vessel in his right eye. The first...

THIS POD LIFE: TEAM CHEESECAKE AND THE CASE OF THE PRINTED FACE MASKS.

As my dear old Dad used to say while drowning kittens in a bag in the local stream (his favorite activity on lazy Sunday afternoons), 'Son!' he used to say; 'Son! Never let a global pandemic go to waste." So, not being one to ignore such deep wisdom (and hearing rumors of a pandemic happening right now - news travels slow here in deepest Transylvania), I've cast about for some method in which to take advantage of this global outbreak of woe and...

STAR WARS: THE NEW OLD ONES

Ok, so because I don't want to write about the coronavirus thing, I thought I'd do a quick precis of the Disney Star Wars films because they're so last year and so why not? Anyway, here's my HOT TAKE, fresh out of the oven;The Force Awakens: in which Abrams mystery hot-boxes Star Wars and resets everything back to ANH. Unfortunately this renders the original movies and characters pointless and sad. JJ refuses to explain anything.JJ throws +40 years...

COVID-19: THIS IS GETTING A BIT WORRYING

(Note: this gif is of a neuron - not a coronavirus - but it looks cool so whatever) Ok, so this is getting a little worrying. The World Health Organisation has declared it a pandemic, countries are locking down cities - or at least cancelling large portions of their usual activities - people are staying home and the more unfortunate, are losing their jobs as businesses lay off staff.   The quote; 'flatten the curve' is gaining traction....

THIS POD LIFE: ZAZZLE, A HALL OF MIRRORS FROM ~2003

This picture is a representation of what it's like to work with Zazzle's website. For those on the PoD trail, that is, print-on-demand as a passive income stream, many will stand before the entrance to the Kingdom Of Zazzle and wonder 'should I enter'? Is it safe? Well, here's my experience. To clarify, Zazzle is a PoD website where designers both professional and amateur alike, can upload artwork. If a customer then browsing the website likes...

COVID-19: HEY KIDS! IT'S A NOVELTY VIRUS

Well, that didn't take long.  Just as I was wondering what the new decade would bring - and hoping it'd be a bit of a break in the clouds so to speak - up pops a possible pandemic. Not that we yet know the full seriousness of the outbreak. But looking at the daily released case numbers, they appear to be increasing at a 15% to 20% rate on the previous day's totals, which is high. If this rate of new cases continues, then China can expect...

HOLIDAYS: PRE-PANDEMIC EDITION

Well, that's 2019 done and dusted. The Christmas wrapping's long gone in the trash, those extra pounds you put on are still making you frown when you look in the mirror (or maybe you just don't give a crap), and I'm another year older and stupider. But let's hope 2020 and the coming decade is an improvement. I mean, it could go either way this decade couldn't it?  A nice start would be if Trump weren't re-elected and Australia could stop burning...
