After a busy couple of weeks, hello hello. Things got busy at work just after I had taken a short break before the Easter Holidays because we were a man down due to a minor injury, at least it wasn't something major. The employee has been recovering well and should be back in action next week. As for the break, I just needed to recharge from doing the daily music sets for Val and also trying to bring back my own regular content plus keeping an eye on the newest member of the content family Weekend Bonus Stage. Once things blew up at work I just couldn't make the time to get back into preparing and putting out content, because by the time we were done for the day I just wanted supper, maybe watch an episode of something and then hit the pillow. Now that the weekend is upon us and we are not opening tomorrow, I'm hoping to prepare Weekend Bonus Stage then next week if things ease up the daily sets return and work on other content can resume. Many thanks to those of you who ha...

With the conclusion of the WWE 2K16 version of Bonus Stage , it's time for the next version. Coming soon, please look forward to Weekend Bonus Stage! I've released a little teaser video to let you know which games will provide gameplay footage and what the first pair of audiobooks that we'll be diving into are. It should be fun, check it out and thank you. https://www.bitchute.com/video/0rHDeRoU1wqE/

It's a little unfortunate that my friends aren't keeping up with Pokémon or even deep into the ROM hack/fangame scene with me these days because we could have been chatting (even a little bit) about the announcement trailer for the Generation 10 titles Pokémon Winds/Waves . I say "even a little bit" because after watching that short video I don't have a lot to say about it, and you know damn well that there'll probably be several YouTubers out there who'll bust out those "analysis" videos in an effort to dissect the trailer and mine for as many clues, hints, references, call-backs, Easter Eggs and so on as they can. It happens. But I wanted to share my thoughts about the trailer and take some time to think about the many years I've spent as a fan of this giant franchise now that it has turned 30 years old. Hopefully those of you who'll read this post are Pokémon fans too and perhaps you've taken time to reflect on your years as a fan ...

 It only took a couple of weeks but finally, the Wi-Fi issue has been sorted out and I can get back to work without needing to go into the lounge in order to connect to the internet. It's been a full house here with visitors and relatives staying over to help out while my mother recovers from a surgical procedure that she had over a week ago. The procedure went well and she is healing up fine so no worries.  Have a good week and take care.

It took a couple of days but phew  done and done 😁 moving in was Phase 1 and now's on to Phase 2 - unpacking and putting things in place. The house is a little bigger, there's running (borehole) water and there's someone else staying on the property who can help us with the yard work so those are the big positives. On the other hand though, the house gets pretty loud because it's got an asbestos roof. Not exactly great during times when you're alone in the house with all that noise going on around you haha, how the hell are you going to hear any knocking at the gate (which is maybe 100-200 metres or so away from the front door)? Wi-Fi connection is going to be a little rough here, especially mobile, because just like at the previous place my room is a couple of rooms away from where the Starlink router has been mounted outside. I thought there was a way to expand the signal range without needing to buy a better router? If you happen to know more about this please c...

Hello hello, Happy 2026. It's a big week here for me and the family because we will be moving out. Someone with much deeper pockets than ours bought this place late last year and we were given until the 1st of February to find a new home. Fortunately we have found one in the same neighbourhood so unlike back in 2022 when we scrambled out of the previous neighbourhood into this one, we'll be much more prepared and have enough time (and hopefully the weather gods will be merciful too).  Once we've settled in and everything I'll be back to continue with the content. If you were following the WWE 2K16 Universe Mode series on my BitChute channel then I hope you enjoyed it and have checked out the final Bonus Extra episode. I talk about the move, give my thoughts about the PPVs and reveal what I've got in mind for the Bonus Stage weekend content. If you're a fan of audiobooks then you'll be in for a treat :) work on the Pokemon Adventure Red Chapter walkthrough...
