I've wanted Ratchet for a while so I finally picked it up. I also thought it was about time I discovered what Elden Ring is all about.

I finally had a chance to organize my collection.

All the cameras arrived! I've been shooting the Olympus Mju-II lately which has been such a joy having such a tiny capable camera in a pocket.










Also bought another camera by accident, and by accident I mean I didn't check the auction on eBay. It was listed with 3 hours left and the bid was at $20, I increased it to $30 thinking my bid would get sniped last minute because it's eBay lol...

Well anyway two days later the Konica C35 E&L (or C35 V in other markets) arrived. It's a pseudo rangefinder in that it's actually more like a point and shoot.

Neat little thing I absolutely love it.

Bought some extra film too that I plan on properly shooting not treating it like test rolls (like my rolls of ISO 200 Gold that expired since 1994).

Got Portra 400, Cinestill 800T, and Ilford HP5 (being delivered tomorrow).




Like I said, impulse purchases are out of the way for this year.

It's about dying. A lot.

But it's also fantastic. 👍

My main hobby when I left school in 1980 was photography. I worked in photographic retail from 1981 to 2003 so this is like a trip down memory lane for me. I owned a camera from just about every big manufacturer during that time in 35mm, 120 and APS formats. That Minolta 35mm compact looks like the Riva 75w I had for a while when I wanted a 28mm AF zoom. I think I had a Mju-II for a while as well. I bailed out just as everything was starting to go digital as I had lost interest. Even now, 20 years later, the last thing I want to do is get a camera out.

Sometimes a few beers turns into an expensive day out:

HP pavilion thing

A Nintendo with Mario Kart, I think.

I'm well aware 😄 That's kind of what's put me off all this time on From Software games. I have no problem in dying a lot (I like Roguelike/Lite games) But I just thought it could be too difficult and in turn frustrating. I can't ignore how universally acclaimed and loved the games are though (Especially Elden Ring) so I owe it myself to give it a proper go.

Finally got tired of trying to find a gaming headset that could do it all(the AudioTechnica M50xSTS were really close), when I realized I didn't have to. Instead, I got multiple things that each do one thing really well.

Sennheiser HD660S2, FIIO K11 DAC, and a Sennheiser Profile USB Mic with a boom.

It's not the beefiest DAC/AMP ever, but for $130 it's really, really good. I was a little skeptical at first, but I'm extremely happy with the way it sounds with music, games, and movies. And thanks to the mic I don't have to switch back to a gaming headset when talking to people.

Low budget coms for my assistant and myself at school. I don’t carry a phone at school so this is the next best thing.

Got two new Blu Rays today:

Akira Kurosawa‘s „Ran“ and all three Naked Gun movies.

Aria Pro II DM206, I wanted a Univox Hi Flier but they're quite expensive so I bought the clone.

Met Leslie Nielsen at Disneyworld in Orlando once in the nineties.

Called him Enrico Palazzo. He chuckled.

I've been buying a lot of CDs recently as I lost all mine 10 years ago in a house fire (they're so expensive now they're deleted). I've been playing them through a Marshall Kilburn II but wanted a better set up so I bought a Marshall Acton III and a lead that splits the L&R signals. Maybe not "hi-fi" but sounds as good as my old separates did. I just need to find my 90 degree adaptor to tidy the cable.

I also bought a Marshall key holder.

I fancied hitting some virtual balls with some virtual sticks. Great fun 😄 👍

If Ryan's virtual golfing is as good as his rallying you might regret that invite

I finally got around to buying a 4K BluRay Player. Was debating just getting a PS5 but couldn't justify the extra cost.

I’d be interested to hear your thoughts on the Kino Uncle Buck. I’m hoping a boutique label in the UK picks up the license and puts it out. However “PT&OA” wasn’t a good scan so, high hopes on this classic Candy.

And on that note I can say both the regular BluRay and 4K versions are solid. Hope they get a release over there soon.

Thanks for the invite, I'll take a look 👍

It most definitely isn't. I'm still reeling from 3 teeshots shanked into the water at Sawgrass my first evening playing 😄

I just bought what may very well be the most fabulous PS2 ever.

Someone recently traded in this NTSC-J Sakura Pink PS2 into my local game store, and I pretty much knew I had to have it as soon as I saw it. I traded in my regular black Japanese PS2 towards it, and ended up paying around $50 in the end. Sadly, it didn't have the matching controller with it, so I plan on ordering that down the line.

I finally decided to spend the money and here is the result.

Luckily, my car number and my date of birth are the same.
