Yesterday I Bought II: Many Things

That's what I'm saying I can likely get them done before NMS which could go either way on how much I play that, then Deus Ex, that getting to something like Witcher 3 seems, very unlikely anytime soon.

But who knows as this month I've not bought any new games to play in till those games on Thursday and as I said on PoW, I've had time to finish things like a Gravity Rush or maybe even enough time to even do Witcher 3 but I've not really felt like playing in a long meaningful way since Uncharted 4, same happened last year with MGSV after that I basically only touched games in spells.

Plumped for the 3D Blu-Ray Ultimate Edition of Batman Vs. Superman (originally typed as 'Barman' - I think Superman would walk that one). Not that cheap, either.

The 3D Blu Ray player must of cost a few squids as well back when you got.

Funny thing is the Sony systems part from the PS4, I bought instead of an actual DVD player I got a PS2 then a PS3 instead of Blu Ray player and then when I got my 3DTV, I got a PS3 again instead of a 3D Blu Ray Player as each time the console was cheaper or not a lot more and it's games console.

I don't even have a 3D Blu Ray player! It was the only way to guarantee the Ultimate Edition with the Director's Cut of the film (which is on a proper Blu-Ray disc, thankfully). It is at this point in the conversation that Jo would face me and do this:

The Ultimate Cut is on regular Blu Ray, did HMV or whoever run out

Sainsbury's, and it looks like it.

I picked up the Blu Ray. Gonna give it another watch tonight, see if 40 extra minutes make it any less crap.

(Expect a rant when, inevitably, it is still a shiter)

So I uh brought a car

Very nice! POIDH?

Please note: in this case, 'POIDH' stands for 'Pictures - Obviously It Did Happen'. Thank you.

A pic to prove it did happen

Cool! A car that can drive on walls.

I had a few Transformers comicbooks and my latest Spider-Man figurine arrive this morning:

Miles with Peter, Miguel and Ben!:

All my Spideys so far:

More interestingly, I bought tickets to Harry Potter and the Cursed Child in November... 2017.

Man, what a mission! I fired up the website this morning just before 11, on my break at work. I was placed in the queue with 38,000 people ahead of me and as I checked my phone sporadically through the day it slowly ticked down. At around 19:00 I finally got into the system and, after mucking about with the confusing mobile version of the site for a while, I'd nabbed tickets for me, my girlfriend and my two aunties. What an adventure!

When I came in from work, I was at about 11,000 in the queue on my phone. I decided to fire it up on my laptop as well to see how many people were behind me, and it said around 201,000. Popular stuff!

The question now is whether I hold off on reading the script. Can I resist? Will I be able to avoid spoilers?

~Spider-Car, Spider-Car, drives wherever a Spider can~


I'll see myself out



Nice comic haul there too!

I carn't believe you made that joke.

Hold the door.

Forgot to say, nice car!

I really need to get a new car or, and I'm seriously considering this recently, a motorbike.

Thanks for that, shanks! Nice wheels.

And congrats on the tickets, Drunkster! That sounds like an epic. Tales will be told of that day.

Cheers! Yeah I'm really liking the car, though my only small complaint is I can't connect my iPod yet

A Marie amiibo, as below.

Spoiler:

I went into town determined to contribute to the economy and, well, that was the result. I don't even have Splatoon any more: is the thing she unlocks worth it?

Unlocks new song performances for you to view apparently so nah.

Ohmygod, the Callie and Marie Amiibos are out? Neeeeeeeeeeeed!

My Callie and Marie double pack is still sealed, I just traded in a bunch of PS1 & DS games from boot sale haul and as nothing much I wanted particularly I plummet for the Resident Evil Collection on PS4 as it was a straight swap and I may play them again some time.

Brave Drunka to plan that far in advance.

I know! In the past I've always held to Barney's rule in HIMYM: never plan something further in advance than the length of time you've been going out. I discovered not too long ago my friends actually call that Luke's Rule, so sound is the advice!
I went on hoping to get tickets for Kirsty's birthday this year, and when I realised only 2017 tickets were on sale I couldn't very well not book. Worst case scenario, we can go as friends... or I can take another bird

But I'm confident we'll be going out that next time year, after all: I'M CONVINCED I WEEP PULL MEET MY WIFE 2026.

This lot for £14 which is 64p per item

Is that Lord of the Rings: The Third Age at the top? That game is a banger.
