Thought I would have a go at some pixel art. I’ve always liked the art style as it reminds me of my old gaming days, and it’s really starting to get back into the mainstream again and ever games are being made to look like old 8bit and 16bit.
Using just my phone and an app called PixelArt I’ve had a go at making a few small images.

I do love a good Bad Lip Reading video, and whenever Donald Trump is involved it always goes up a notch 🙂

I have followed the is game for sometime while it was in development and early access, but never got around to picking it up. Then at the end of last year Epic released their own online games store and gave the game away for free, yes thank you……
So this is going to be an ongoing “Now Playing” post, and I will see how long I can keep going, and posting about what I do and see.

One of the ways I try to keep from going completely insane is when I can, I read, listen and watch some of my media that I have collected over the years. As time is something I don’t have a lot of, audiobooks and podcasts are my main goto choices. These I can listen to when walking the dog, cycling to work, at work or even when I’m in the kitchen.
When watching I use my Plex server that I set up (I will do a post about that) which is great as I can watch and listen to my media on my phone, tablet, pc, tv and even the xbox if needed at home or away.
Here are all the things I have lined up at the moment that I’m slowly getting through. When I’m done I will give them a rating out of 5. Some might last longer than this and might be also still in the next media post(that Karl Pilkington book I have been reading for a long time….)
Artemis’s father has been missing for almost two years. His location? The Arctic Circle, where the Russian Mafia are holding him prisoner. Now Artemis must execute a daring rescue operation to get his father back.
But that’s not his only problem. Since abducting one of an underground race of armed and dangerous fairies, Artemis has become their prime suspect for any human wrongdoing. Elfin Captain Holly Short has accused him of supplying illegal human power cells (aka AAA batteries) to the goblin gangs. There’s going to be a terrifying uprising – but at least it will get Artemis away from his computer and he’ll meet some new people.
It’s just a pity most of them want to kill him.

Presenting the Travel Diaries of Karl Pilkington: Adventurer. Philosopher. Knob head. Karl Pilkington isn’t keen on travelling. Given the choice, he’ll go on holiday to Devon or Wales or, at a push, eat English food on a package holiday in Majorca. Which isn’t exactly Michael Palin, is it? So what happened when he was convinced by Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant to go on an epic adventure to see the Seven Wonders of the World? Travel broadens the mind, right? You’d think so…

Dwight tells the barmaid to let the man and his ensuing entourage in, expressing confidence in his ability to ‘handle them’. When the man outside threatens to break down her door, Shellie reluctantly opens it while Dwight hides in the bathroom.

I never drink enough water. I try but I like my cups of tea, and lots of them. So when I spotted these at the weekend, I just had to try them out.
I have pick up a sample pack of Cold In’fuse bags from Twinings to give them a go, and if I like there are many flavours to try.

My youngest has been playing SUBNAUTICA on the pc for a week or so now and has come up with the idea that he would like a fish tank in his bedroom. With the thoughts that this might help him at bedtimes, and also help him relax, we spent the weekend looking up tanks and visiting a few local Aquarium shops.

I have followed the development of DeepMind for a few years now, and have always tried to catch any videos they released showing their progress. In December last year they put AlphaStar up against two of the world’s top Starcraft 2 players.
