  1. Lib Dems heart land was Yeovil, but Conservatives won it in the last election. Will be interesting to see what happens, I could never vote for the blues, but the leader here is a nice guy and will always take time to answer questions/issues from people on Twitter 

  2. So last night I got back into playing Elite Dangerous, mainly because I'm reading a book called The Lost Fleet thanks to @RevolvingPrawn
    So I set out to do some bounty hunting even though my flying skills were rusty. So I went to a star and started scanning ships, looking for easy wanted targets to get myself back upto speed. All was going well, I had collected 8 bounties, so I was like this guy, but in space.

    Then I looked for harder targets with large bounties. I found one who was rated master class, so I deployed my weapons and started attacking. what I hadn't noticed was he had two wingman. So it was 3 on 1, I quickly found myself in deep trouble. First my shields went, then my hull was breached, so I only had 5 minutes of oxygen.

    Still I stayed calm and tried to get away, powered up my hyperdrive, 5,4,3,2 ah balls, whilst it was powering up they destroyed my thrusters. so I was stuck, couldn't control my ship, only had 3 minutes of oxygen left but still thinking there must be a way out. So I went into the ships computer, looked at all the damage, then noticed repair and restart function could work, as it cannibalizes healthy modules to fix important ones. So I did that and it managed to get the thrusters going just enough to regain some control. I managed to get the hyperdrive going and get myself back to a port.

  3. I suspect he has a lot more broken. It was awful, the closing speed was huge at that point of the track. The fact it happened to be on board made it even more horrendous. Air ambulance is currently on track, they are so young as well, so it must be awful for the parents. It's pretty sick that people on Twitter are posting the video to get lots of retweets
    .  

  4. Well in that case, how is it milking? EA had the exclusive contract with Porsche for 14 years. So whenever a game wanted them they had to come to an agreement with EA. So it's not the fault of the devs, but EA who wanted to milk the brand for all its worth. Now though the deal is over, hence the cars being added to Horizon 3, and you can even get one of them for free without buying the DLC. 

  5. Just bought a Kindle Paperwhite. It's hard to explain just how good it is compared to reading from a tablet without showing it to someone. It's amazing, it's like reading a paper book, but with perfect lighting all the time. Tablets let off light which strains your eyes because they are back lit. The kindle Paperwhite lights are from the front pointing at the screen, so there's no glare and can be read in all conditions. 

  6. Bought The expansion for Forza Horizon 3 today, Blizzard Mountain. In the dark, in a blizzard, racing down a mountain pass is so exhilarating. No game comes close to looking as good as this in these conditions. In the main game I have over 150 hours and still loads to do, this expansion is going to add a lot more. These former Codemasters devs certainly know how to make a fun racing rallying game  :D
