Anyway they got built and painted leaving me with only the Warhound Titan to build, and given the trip for my brothers wedding and other issues, I cannot see myself being able to finish this 🙁

I am getting a game of Halo Infinite in each night, because the Xbox app gives me nearly 250 Microsoft Reward points each day!
What Tabletop Games Am I Playing
Nowt 🙁
What Am I Creating
Just an Imperium Battle Report, which you can see below.
What I Am Backing
No new projects, but Rawr! Velociraptor! sent us a free bonus of live songs by The Doubleclicks!
What I Am Spending
Cyber Monday deals were good, so I picked up the Far Cry games that I don’t own, Far Cry 4 and Far Cry Primal.
And the Batman Humble Bundle deal looked awesome, I once owned Batman Arkham Asylum in Xbox 360, my brother in law borrowed it, and I never saw it again.
I already have Lego Batman 2 and Lego Batman 3, I have offered them to my nephews, but if they don’t want them, a friend is hunting some codes down for a charity thing.
And a couple of movies got bought too, digital copies of 300, Warewolves Within and Snowpiercer They were all on sale and I fancied having them in the collection to watch.
I also bought a camera bag for my Sony ZV-1 to take to the wedding.
Regular readers will know how much I love The Doubleclick, and well its no surprise I am featuring them in this years advent!
I also rather love that rock music of the late 90s/early 00s that I grew up with, so when The Doubleclicks covered it, well its been a staple of my playlists for a long time.
And the video for it is so very cute and delightful
Two days in a row with something that has problematic stuff, not the song, not the artist, but what’s its based on.
I love Harry Potter, but I detest the author and frankly there are a ton of problematic issues with the books themselves from the anti-Semitism of the goblin bankers to the dreadful way characters from ethnic minorities are portrayed.
But this song is good, Hank Green is a fantastic podcaster, musician and science communicator with a passion for science that benefits the environment, his stuff is really well worth checking out, as he is an amazingly passionate creator.
But I have to make this point, trans rights are human rights, and JK Rowling is the queen of TERFs and the Harry Potter fanbase deserves better than her.
Instead of buying official Harry Potter merchandise, donate to Trans charities, buy knock offs or read some amazing fan fiction instead.
Most of us nerds are huge Firefly fans, and Jayne is absolutely a fan favourite, not so much the actor, he turned out to be an utter prick, as did the shows creator, but sigh, we still love the show for the rest of the cast.
Marian Call is a fantastic artist based in Juneau, Alaska (which prompts me to consider another song to add to this list, but that might slip into next year), and I love her music, its quirky, geeky and very cool.
And this song is about Jayne the cunning man of the Verse!
Oh Aquaman, he really is the last hero most people think of when it comes to the Justice League, despite the Jason Momoa movie!
This song is a lovely little ditty from Mark Aaron James, a nerdy rock performer from out of New York who makes some amazing and introspective nerd rock songs.
And yeah its a lot of fun cause its Aquaman wondering why isn’t loved as much as Batman!
This is a bumper two week update due to being generally unwell this past week.
Part of that is probably mental, the car is in the garage, so I am stuck at home, can’t even get to club for a game.
Hopefully the car will be back with us this week, but the repair got delayed by the big storm.
And the bunny is getting better, but it looks like the head tilt will be permanent, which means he will likely need anti-dizziness medication for life plus eye drops.
Tidying the PC
My PC was a mess, after reinstalling Windows I needed to desperately clean the desk and make it tidier and tackle the cable management, cause that was horrendous.
But a couple of days of pottering around, and it feels and looks a lot better, I still need to replace the desk in the long term and the secondary monitor is starting to show signs of dying.
I then painted something that I can’t quite talk about yet, but it was a lot of fun to do and I am really looking forward to showing it off eventually.
I did print this Christmas decoration for our geeky tree, it was supposed to have an Enterprise D in the middle, but I ended up taking it out due to having to make it smaller to fit on my printer.
The Black Friday Steam sale happened, so I picked up Portal and Portal 2 very cheap, never played them before and figured why not try them, cost less than £3 for both of them.
And as I no longer have a DVD drive in my PC I picked up Far Cry and Far Cry 2, as I quite fancy playing them, alongside a dirt cheap copy of Splinter Cell, cause my original Xbox disk is scratched to hell
Oh and I saw a 4k Blu Ray of Star Trek Beyond for £5 on Amazon, so I bought that!
