Monday musings.
Dec. 7th, 2015 10:06 pm1. Still my favourite Christmas song. Also shrouded in mystery as nobody has outright admitted they were The Snowmen. Many suggest it's Ian Dury and some of the Blockheads, others that it's Jona Lewie. Either way, this clip will either cheer you right up or stay in your nightmares forever.
2. I wiped my Anime drive because I was never going to get round to watching any of it and the important stuff I have on DVD. The drive's being repurposed for the XBox 360 as I was almost out of space on the drive I was using with it.
That drive's going to be repurposed for this PC, if there's the cables to connect it. I@m unsure since I've never opened up this PC. I'm getting all my Japanese shooty games up and running again and going to get a nice frontend I can control with a joypad going so I can connect the PC to the telly and play the shooty things on a big screen.
(This also invoklves shufting 400Gb of data from one drive to another, it is taking some time...)
3. Back to the shooty games because Darius Burst Chronicle Saviours just got quietly released on PC and runs beautifully even on my el cheapo PC. It also has the trademark eclectic soundtrack and the first level end boss in Chronicle mode is a giant enemy crab with techno music. This=win.
4. Health is still a bit problematic, actually thinking of buying a walking stick just so I have something to lean on when I get tired for when we go to Glasgow on Friday.
5. As part of dealing with insomnia, been catching up on some Big Finishes having borrowed some off friends and still having some I bought at a convention back in 2009 and not gotten round to listening to yet. Random thoughs - Really enjoyed The Last Adventure, we finally have the Sixth Doctor's final story and the three related adventures leading up to it were all fun too. ALways a pleasure to hear Jago and Litefoot again. Listening to any of the TOm Baker stories is like curling up in a familiar, comfy duvet. My mind does mess around a bit as it's sometimes not sure wether it should be imagining things as cheap and cheerful as they were back in the day or properly impressive and expensive. :)
