I’m currently listening to all 50 something books of the Horus Heresy - Warhammer 40k stuff - it’s a bit of a mixed bag, different writers and different narrators for each book, however the underlying story is just plain epic.

If I was to recommend a set of audio books, I highly, highly recommend ‘The wandering inn’ by pirateaba - epic books by a proliferate writer - if you manage to get into it, there are hundreds of hours of great story read by a truly talented narrator (Andrea parsneu).

It’s been a real hit with myself and my circle!

I highly rate dungeon crawler Carl, the narrator (Jeff Hayes) is fantastic! The plot just keeps getting thicker, I hope you relish it as much as I did!

It’s a Vornado, I just had a look at it and am no wiser to the model however. Was recommended to me by a friend and has been a pleasant, if a little pricey, suprise!

Great write up man, thanks :)

I have that fan, it’s excellent apart from the awkward design decision to have the radial dial start at max and work down!

Still, a good purchase!

Also, that’s a fine beast you have there!

I hope you can find yourself a healthy relationship one of these days pal.

I don’t. I don’t at home either. I’m sure it’s terrible practice and I’m courting disaster but just standing them there on the shelves honestly does the trick. They’re quite forgiving with the view angle it seems.

My parents asked me to bring the VR kit like I did last year. It’s an old HTC Vive I lucked into for cheap from a friend who didn’t have space to really use it once he’d moved. I run things through SteamVR.

Had to bring the whole desktop but it was worth while - my brother and mum get a kick out of Beatsaber, my dad and cousin were all about The Lab’s archery game, Longbow. Nothing else was played on it, but those two are enough. Kinda like a little side-room arcade.

Of course you can’t really play with each other, not with my one headset and PC but someone playing draws a small crowd so it’s entertaining for all.

I wouldn’t really recommend anyone to get VR at this point unless they’re super into that kinda thing as the ecosystem of games is pretty weak for the price and setup, and it doesn’t seem to be developing very fast.

However, it was a real joy to have at Christmas. Even my very aged grandpa shot a few arrows and had a marvel at it.

Otherwise, I’ll always play a game or two of FIFA on the Xbox with my brother for old times sake!
