A photo of the MadCatz Rock Band MIDI adapter controller, used for plugging my drum kit into the Xbox 360 for use with Guitar Hero.

Aww yisssss! (Now hopefully it works with Guitar Hero... I've seen anecdotal reports that it does, but nothing official from the manufacturer). Also this controller is over ten years old now and the plastic is doing that weird thing where it gets sticky, so I'll need to clean it up.

A photo of a Warhammer Underworlds board, with tiled hexes on it. Lady Harrow's Mournflight are at the front, consisting of four flowing ghostly-looking spirits. Facing them are Morgok's Krushas, three heavily armed and armoured orruks (orks).

We had a Lady Harrow vs. Morgok rematch tonight, and it was a bit of a blow-out, I won 17-7, haha.

More Warhammer Underworlds tonight, Kristina's really enjoying playing Morgok's Krushas. This ended up being a SUPER close game, Kristina won it 12 glory to 11!

A photo of a Warhammer Underworlds board, with tiled hexes on it. Hrothgorn's Mantrappers are at the front, consisting of a large ogre with a huge crossbow and wearing lots of animal skins, a sabretooth tiger, and three gnoblars (goblins). Facing them are Morgok's Krushas, three heavily armed and armoured orruks (orks).

A close-up of Morgok being surrounded by Hrothgorn, Thrafnir (the sabretooth tiger) and Luggit & Thwak (two gnoblars, one on the shoulders of the other and swinging a huge club/axe-looking thing over his head).

We had a Hrothgorn vs. Morgok rematch tonight, and wow did it go differently! My strategy actually worked a treat, and I killed Morgok himself in the first round (he ended up getting very ganged-up on). I only lost Luggit & Thwak, and was able to kill Thugg as well with some clever pushing into lethal hexes and Bushwakka's trap.

A photo of a Warhammer Underworlds game board, it has tiled hexes on it and the art on the board looks like a cave. The miniatures are 3 heavily-armoured orruks (orks) on Kristina's side, and on mine are 3 gnoblars (goblins), a sabretooth tiger, and Hrothgorn who is a huge ogre with a massive crossbow.

A close of Thugg vs. Bushwakka and Luggit & Thwak. The latter is two gnoblars, one on the shoulders of the other, with the top one swinging a big axe over his head. Bushwakka is another gnoblar, he's carrying a bear-trap. Thugg is a big heavily-armoured orruk who's in mid-swing with his weapons. The two gnoblars are VERY small-looking next to Thugg.

We played Warhammer Underworlds again tonight, Kristina played the orruks of Morgok's Krushas and smashed me. (In my defence, my strategy was good but I was let down by some very poor dice rolls on my part, and a couple of very lucky ones on Kristina's). My favourite moment was my two (three) brave little gnoblars taking on Thugg. Sadly I rolled badly and nothing came of it. 😞

A photo of the board of a Warhammer Underworlds game. The board has hexagonal tiles printed on it, and there's six goat-looking beastmen on the right side (Grashrak's Despoilers) and three heavily-armoured warriors in gold and dark blue armour on the left (Ironsoul's Condemnors).

We had another visit from Ben today, dropped Beanie down to one single one of his pills, and honestly I think we could have entirely done without them! Beanie didn't even bark to start with, and after that it was just excited barking rather than panicked. We played Warhammer Underworlds again but with me in an advisory role and it went really well, was a close game right up until the end.

A screenshot of a very 1960s-looking little white hatchback that's been lowered, and has big deep dish rims, a front spoiler, and an internal rollcage. It looks simultaneously cute but also mean.

This is a screenshot of the 1968 Abarth 595 Esseesse that I've turned into an UTTERLY INSANE MONSTER in Forza Horizon 4. It's been converted to all-wheel drive with a inline-4 turbocharged rally engine and weighs only 545kg, but puts out 498kW and 926Nm of torque, and has a top speed of 327km/h which it reaches ALARMINGLY quickly. 😂

I love that spontaneous dance parties are still in a thing in Destiny 2. (See also https://virtualwolf.org/media/posts/1157 from Destiny 1 almost six years ago now).

A photo of a table with a set of extremely well painted cards on it from the board game "Mysterium".

We had our regular fortnightly visit from Ben today, and played Munchkin and an interesting game called "Mysterium". It's incredible how much better Beanie is getting, it wasn't even five minutes of barking before he'd settled down, and the barking he WAS doing was just "Ahhh I'm excited!" rather than "OH GOD I'M FRIGHTENED OF THIS PERSON!". Next time we're going to go down to 1 pill and see how he goes. 🤞🏻

A photo of a four-player game of Warhammer Underworlds. The board has hexes marked out on it, at the bottom right are Hrothgorn's Mantrappers (a big ogre and 4 goblins), bottom left at Morgok's Krushas (3 heavily-armoured orks), top-left are Grashrak's Despoilers (6 goat people), and top-right is Lady Harrow's Mournflight (4 ghosts).

Had another four-player game of Warhammer Underworlds today! I played Hrothgorn's Mantrappers for the first time and won with them. Though next time we're going to do two 1v1 games, because a four-player game with three people who aren't experts takes a while, haha.
