A photo of the board of Warhammer 40,000: Fireteam with miniatures on it. The board consists of hexagonal tiles and has industrial-looking artwork on it, and the miniatures are five Space Marines (big power-armoured warriors wielding chainswords and bolt pistols) and thirteen Necrons (Terminator-esque robotic warriors with guns but in poses like they're shambling like zombies). All the miniatures are shamefully unpainted.

I played a game of Fireteam against myself tonight, just to get a hang of the rules. I really like it! It's pretty straightforwards and nice and fast-paced.

A screenshot showing a king riding on the back of a stag, with a purple sky with clouds in it and snow on the ground. There's a stone wall running along the length of the screen as well.

A screenshot showing a king riding on the back of a stag, it's night time in a swamp and there's dead trees in the background, and a creepy dark red mist covering part of the ground.

I've been playing this delightful pixel art game called Kingdom Two Crowns. It's described as "a side-scrolling micro strategy game with a minimalist feel wrapped in a beautiful, modern pixel art aesthetic." The gameplay is quite fun, and the graphics are wonderful.

A screenshot from Forza Horizon 5 of a black 1972 Ford Falcon GT-HO muscle car with the engine poking out of the bonnet, looking like something directly from Mad Max. It's got mud spattered on the front and along the sides and is parked on a bleak-looking bit of sandy desert.

Forza Horizon 5 is out and I'm back on my Mad Max bullshit. But because it's set in Mexico, I've got an actual desert to photograph the cars in now. 😎

A close-up of a Warhammer Underworlds game board, Lady Harrow's Mournflight (spooky ghost/spirit-looking things) ganging up on a number of armoured but lithe aelves.

We had a visit from Ben today! 😮 Beanie definitely remembered him, though we gave him a full dose of the calming medicine and he was still barky to start with but calmed down faster than we expected.

Played another game of Warhammer Underworlds which was a very low-scoring game, mostly because nobody was able to kill each other because both people kept rolling crits on the attack but then also getting them on defense.

A screenshot of one of the open areas in Destiny 2's "Tower" social space, with a big gnarled and dead tree in the middle, tall purple candles everywhere, along with some spiderwebs, jack-o-lanterns, and multicoloured geometric lights hanging from various points.

A screenshot of a walkway in Destiny 2, with more cobwebs everywhere and the same purple candles and multicoloured geometric light balls as the other shot.

Yesss, it's again time for Destiny 2's Halloween event, "The Festival of the Lost".

A photo of a Warhammer Underworlds game board, it has hexagonal tiles on it and the artwork on the board looks like the inside of a cave. Skaeth's WIld Hunt are on one side, and they're all elegant and flowing wood elf-like creatures, with the leader being a centaur, and on the other side Grashrak's Despoilers are ugly and brutish-looking goat-men.

We went back to OG Beastgrave for our game of Warhammer Underworlds tonight, Grashrak's Despoilers vs. Skaeth's Wild Hunt. I've been watching videos from Tabletop Sydney where they play Underworlds and so have been getting a really firm grasp of tactics, and Kristina was a bit concerned that she'd just never end up winning again. So for this game I played an advisory role and Kristina ended up winning 14-8!

A photo of my Roland electronic drum kit set up in front of the TV, where Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock from the Xbox 360 is mid-song. There's PostIt notes on the drums to indicate which drum corresponds to which colour pad from the original drum set.

IT'S ALIIIIIVE!

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.
