The Man with No Time

.....that I found online today. I was browsing Facebook, and found that the Chain Attack podcast guys had linked to this video. I thought that it provided a decent look into Warmachine, and a bit of insight into the reasons why I play the game. Sure, it could have been longer, but I feel that the level of depth was perfect for people looking for a quick explanation of what the hobby provides for people.

Yesterday I took my annual trip down to Knockhill for the British Touring Car Championship . This is one of the few big, live motorsport events that I can easily get to these days, or that fits in with my busy schedule at least. I’m sure that there are lots of club meetings at Knockhill that I could get to during the summer, but that’s also my prime time of the year for gaming events, what with the Autumn, Winter and Summer being full of livesaving.

The London 2012 summer Olympics have finished after two weeks of top quality sport. It’s a sad moment, as I’ve really enjoyed this Olympics. More so than Beijing, but I suspect that that’s in a large part down to the fact that I was in the right timezone, and could actually watch the events, rather than just the round-up shows every day. I’ve discovered a couple of new sports along the way, and want to share some of my thoughts on the event as a whole.   The official logo is still pants. This one is much better.

Last weekend I took a long holiday down in Brighton with some friends from my undergraduate days. I had to drive down, which was a long journey, but I was able to stop off in Coventry both ways, which really helped make the journey bearable! It’s many years since I went to Brighton, and I never really saw much of the place. We either went to the beach, or were on the seafront for the Brighton Speed trials. It was therefore rather nice to actually explore the town a little more. My friend James, the driving force behind the trip, has fond childhood memories of wandering the lanes, and of the beach, and was keen to show the place off the rest of us.
