I need a hero

Star Wars Spoiler alert: Almost a year after real actor Carrie Fisher died, I treated myself to a solo cinema run to see The Last Jedi.  This production was a real salute to the original and it’s poignant to think that all the main heroes are now all gone, Leia, Luke and Solo.

I love the little touches that feature Leia original distress hologram and Han Solo’s dice.

I left the movie with a wonderful glowing feeling that went back to my childhood but knowing that I must move on. Nostalgia is great but it can tie you down, a theme that was repeated again and again in the movie.

So, 2018 will be my year of not looking back and like Yoda says “The greatest teacher failure is.”

80% chance of Critical damage

With all the mass marketing, social media message avalanches and inflated travel prices at this time of year there won’t be many people considering the new fresh pages of January in their diaries.

This is great if you’re looking to book flights for Valentine’s Day or working on a Summer holiday but tough to have that kind of conversation in general population.

I’m much more comfortable with the early planning and strategy stages.  Consequently, my Winter stage is going fine so far mainly because I considered it whilst chilling on the beach.

80% change of critical damage if I don’t plan.

How to play Mind games

Working or gaming. What difference does it make? Well, in most people’s heads, work is honourable and Gaming is not. This attitude maintains the digital divide between gaming professionals and everybody else.

Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice is a beautiful mind game. The screen warning only appears for 2 seconds and it’s clear from the outset that this game could mess with your mind.

The game’s opening credits feature a mental health advisor and it’s interesting that not many people are streaming it right now.  Anyhow, this looks like a tasty treat for me to tackle this month.

I Can’t Breathe

Turn off the internet on your device and see how many applications flail around for air.  Internet access is the lifeblood of so many apps that they cannot actually properly function without it.

Ergo, to make somethings fail just mess with their network pipeline, throttle it, divert it or corrupt it.

Amazing what you can actually get away with in broad daylight.

The Burn

The next day effects of my overdue workout as my muscle burn echoes and I am sooooooooo sleepy.

No matter, I just need to get back into the exercise habit.

In the meantime, my London trip is now clouded by an uncomfortable uncertainty that makes me what to set up plan B and C.
