Next stop Daytona Beach.
The first few moments out of jail are amazing. Your senses are heightened and you look towards the Sun like it’s the only thing that actually matters. Everyone around you is in slow motion and you can hear birds sing.
Afterwards, you wonder how you actually got here, how you put yourself in danger and what things lead to this point…where is Moment Zero? The actual point in time, the decisions that set up a series of horrendous events that led to your incarceration.
My PS4 GamePlay is down to 4 hours max a week so I’m now a casual gamer unable to commit to long Raids or Farming sessions. Amazingly enough, I’m still picking up rare, exotic gear pieces and just accepted an invitation to an Elite clan.

Combat Medic is probably the most satisfying role for me on multiplayer titles. A powerful medic makes a difference and in many situations, on The Division it is almost impossible to thrive without a high-level medic on the team.
For new players the safety net of being revived makes the healer class an instant friend. The real life comparison to a knowledgeable InfoSec Pro is interesting as not many organisations wing it without at least one specialist being accountable.
I’ve spent the past few days in the game reward loop earning points on Tom Clancy’s The Division Global Event. It’s an excellent way to keep gamers playing with the hope of finding loot and rewards.
I ended up aiming for 50 mixed caches as my goal at the end of GE which should increase my chances of getting something special. My cache opening ceremony will probably take 20-30 minutes just to re-organise the inventory.
Here’s what on the Wishlist
AlphaBridge Classified Holster Striker Classified Gloves and Holster Lone Star Classified Mask, Knee Pads and Holster D3-FNC Classified Holster Reclaimer Classified Gloves and Knee Pads
This is absolute gibberish to non-Division gamers and like all acronyms and industry talk, it inadvertently divides people. I could actually meet a Division player and have a full decent genuine conversation dispute the demographic or real-life profile. Words like grind, face tanking, exotics and caches mean a totally different thing here.
This is what makes a game successful, I don’t see nothing wrong with a little Bump and Grind.
1st day of exercise for 50 days….feels good though.
My love for single player games continues; this skillset is particularly fruitful in a real-life Person versus Environment (PvE) situation. This morning I arrive at Gatwick Airport knowing I had just one hour to get to the terminal gate.
Navigating major airport terminals during summer holidays is challenging if you don’t anticipate the delays and have a countermeasure in mind. Also, any Network specialist will tell you that the last ‘hop’ is often the most problematic.
10:30 arrive at Gatwick by train 10:40 arrive at terminal monorail shuttle transfer (Primary service) Delay 1 - (Service failure)Terminal train out of service transferred to slow buses. 10:45 arrive at terminal 10:50 Checked-in luggage (I don’t normally do this) 10:55 Arrive at security check Delay 2 - (Slow Service) Carry-on luggage selected for ‘random’ check 11:05 Cleared to proceed to gateway Delay 3 - Gate allocated at 15 mins walk 11:10 Arrive at Gate sweating and panting 11:30 Actually boarding plane Delay 4 - Sitting on runway waiting for flight slot 12:14 Flight actually takes off
Flight departure scheduled for 11:55 and there no compensation or anything I can do about it except bitch and blog.
Heavy or cumbersome hand luggage Travel document misplaced Gadgets misplaced Fast steady pace walk pass all NPCs (In real life - families, groups,tourists, airport staff walking the opposite way and folk who arrived early) Shopping queues No window shopping No phone calls No App checking No SMS or VoIP No other players ...single player runs are definitely faster
Elevated blood pressure Massive adrenaline surge No time to think No last minute detours Hight chance of verbal conflict
Arrive 2 hours ahead of time. (Problem: 4 out 5 EasyJet flights delayed)
Chaos can raise its head rapidly. Are you prepared?
Winter version is similar with the added bonus of being able to use your coat to conceal a second carry-on bag avoiding the additional fee….whoops, did I say that out loud.
