Just a small nondescript urn with a couple of small holes in it. Really have to upgrade, this caught the eye:

Never screened any Sidaris over here, at least as far as the recollection goes, does sound a lot of fun. 🙂
Men is interesting, with a few nods to films – like the the Scissor-Hands of Conscience or The Shining. Easly on there’s the feeling of something lightly amateurish about the delivery, but once you accept the sparseness of the sets and…[Read more] -

Used to find using laminated packs rather fun after applying a little talc when they become super slippery.
Thanks for the update, and yes, fat formans, do tell! 😛
On TV there’s replay of some old game reviews, the one of SteamWorld Quest: Hand Of Gilgamech was rather glowing compared to the link’s. Have you seen it? It’s a turn based RPG based…[Read more] -

Yes! Get it at Sourceforge! There’s a list of Norton inspired warez at Wikipedia, the “K” in Krusader was an inspired choice for sure!

Congrats on the jars. Do the lids screw in – it’s not easy to tell. Might want a tight fit in case that frogs breath takes over the pantry. 😛

A LS & 2SB DVD was gifted by a family member for a birthday some time ago, probably ~2012. Replayed it later, in case something was missed. The earlier Lock, Stock and Barrel had nothing much in common other than the name, it does have Claude Akins however, ubiquitous in 50s, 60s and 70s movies and shows.
Remember seeing bits of Rift awhile back,…[Read more] -

Pretty nifty if it charges up without a dock, but from the air alone, making it truly “wireless.” 😛
Yeah, still using the Stupid Factory mousemat, for which the NIP number in the description might suggest the item hails from around 2003, enough to warrant a candidate relic at least. 😛

Have they changed the scaling for Pizza Planet, the only one available here is the original, which, as you know has a rather strong resemblance to the one at Tomorrowland.
Don’t have the A/C on every day then? Over here on hot summer days, it gets tuned on from around 2pm to 6pm, really does make a difference in the evening.

It may be able to choose in which direction to send out solar flares or coronal mass ejections.
The same argument might apply to earth and other planets, where to place those unruly hotspots for best results in achieving mayhem (ahem) peace on earth! 😛

Never knew Stephen King tried his hand at directing, bad luck with an Italian crew, should have just stuck with fixing the script though.
The idea of Mansion of the Doomed could have been extended to animals, a real hoot if the vision was restored with the eyes of a regular barn owl, for instance.

It’s got AVR, which doesn’t help, the new downstairs PC works fine on it, will investigate further.
The old monitors here don’t have DP ports unfortunately, the good news is the Alogic DP => DVI adapter worked, so the VS248h can be used as a fallback monitor. 🙂

Gone the whole hog and acquired this viewsonic monitor because it’s HDR10, a thing in Windows now. The 2k res is there if needed, provided it’s not from the UHD770. 😛
The new Ob rig has an HDMI 2.1 port actually, which renders as absolutely useless with current tech, so the other DP port will have to be converted to HDMI for the TV.
Madness. 😛 -

Yes, do remember giggling at Chucky, on the list again. 😀
Dying on the Edge is flicked in the idiom of true B-Grade, possessing elements that both move and intrigue. The screenplay is rather smooth, laced with a professional touch, and is well directed with a solid supporting cast. And it’s very sad, 3.5/5 here.
