Birthday Weekend – Part 2

It’s been fun so far, at least mostly. I’ve had Louise with me all weekend and she’s been wonderful.

We started Friday evening in the Euston Tap with drinks. In the end only 5 people showed up but was fun nevertheless. Most of us are also Ingress players so we claimed the local portal for the evening. Entertainment was provided by a high level Resistance player who goes by the handle LeJean, who tried (and at one point almost succeeded) to take it – though we did have a secret weapon in reserve, and later by a newer player Londonlime, who made a much briefer effort. Thanks to Geekylou and AgroKK for the defence. (more…)

New Ship

May I present my newest ship, the Romulan Republic Warbird “Enlightenment”, a Ha’apax class advanced warbird (aka battleship).

I started playing again last weekend, when I saw they’d made Romulans a playable faction. It had been a while and I got to Lvl 40 yesterday which while not the end, does give me my “final ship”, at least without paying real money in their wonderful pay-to-win model.

 

Birthday Weekend

And so it begins…

I seem to have survived another whole year without falling off this planet of ours, and therefore will be dedicating this weekend to the celebration of such. This will hopefully involve drinks, meals, parties, movies, music and anything else I can fit in that’s even remotely appropriate. Possibly some things that aren’t. (more…)

Pride

So tonight I am proud.

After intensive training, the lovely Louise had her first Wetherspoons Dragon Curry (approximately vindaloo) and nommed it all up like a nominom.

So next stage is to introduce her to phaals.

Sickness

Bleh! Today has not been good. I was fine earlier, though very sleepy. But since lunch (baked potato with cheese) I have been sick and headachy and just seem to be feeling worse and worse. Pretty much been immobile in bed watching recorded episodes of Horizon¹ on the telly.

Been playing some ST:O² again recently. Logged in for curiosity’s sake and found a new (to me) playable faction. Also I got Louise into it, so now we’re both playing Romulans.

And a new school term means my voluntary job is on again from tomorrow. Hopefully it’ll be fun.

¹ For non UK readers, Horizon is a pop-science documentary series from the BBC. It’s been going longer than I have I think, or close to it anyway.
