Pillars Of Eternity 2 is out for the RPG fans here. Playing my lead character as Ash from the Evil Dead movies. Barbarian with a chopper and boomstick on path of the damned difficulty. Awesome game, got 4 hours kip last night.

Arma 3 king of the hill has been my goto game recently (1700 hours). Really enjoyed Oblivion and Skyrim, started the total conversion mod 'Enderal' three weeks ago as a gap-filler. It's surprisingly good, though I've only played about 30 hours (got into 3D printing.. time sponge). With the release of Pillars of Eternity 2 just around the corner I need to do some re-shuffling. PC gamer since 5 1/4 inch floppys and acoustic couplers. Still addicted, wish my relexes were as good as back then. If you had to chose one, which would be your all-time favourite RyeWolf? Everyone?

Scored 2. My glimmers arn't what they were.

Tin hat on.. 'Clique of friends' was it for me. Once the established membership looses track of what 'forum' means its easy to become a club, and that presents hurdles, real or perceived, to new members. A forum I was involved with zero'd membership post counts each year to encourage input from new members. I'll get my coat.

No Fuji the 'one foot in the grave moment' didn't cross my mind, and not my intent. I know people who are reluctant to expand their listening habits, and encourage them to explore outside of mainstream offerings. I agree there's a lot of junk music which is heavily promoted today, but in fairness it's been the case since the dawn of commercial recording. I don't criticise anyone's listening enjoyment, each to their own.

My collection: 452 albums from 219 artists. I like to think its eclectic but realistically it isn't. No crooners (of the Bing, Como, flavour), no rap, techno, ghetto, etc. I accept there's some music styles I won't embrace. I search out new songs/artists regularly and refuse to get stuck in the rut of listening solely to old favourites. My only gripe is that when I find a new artist/band, the ratio of good to 'meh' tracks they've produced is usually low. Perhaps Fuji you've found your musical 'place' and got a little too comfy?

Nice one.

Graveyard - Apple and the tree Bought 'Innocence & decadence'. Good album. Some obvious influences but makes my toes tap.

The two ladies on the bench really stands out for me, perfect timing. Great shots Fuji.

Thanks BP/Ryewolf. I do intend to get a decent long lens when I can afford it. Unfortunately that isn't soon (Xmas if I'm lucky). Hopefully this lens will be enough of an improvement to get some keepers this year, and as BP mentions, will be a useful walkabout lens once I have the new one. Should arrive early next week, I'll post some pics and thoughts once I've had some play-time with it.
