I’m glad it was useful, I do want to read your piece on the galactic Starcruiser as I never got chance to go

Thanks for linking them, I’m always convinced no one reads my stuff!

Odysseus is a larp inspired by the Battlestar Galactica episode "33": a starship on the run from an implacable enemy.

Now imagine working, living, eating, and sleeping on that ship for fifty non-stop hours.

I spoke to lead producer Laura Kröger on the making of Odysseus, and what might be next!

That was a great interview and brought back a lot of great memories

I need to make more use of this place, as much as I want to leave FB it feels like I'd be leaving a bunch of people I don't want to lose and that's what's keeping me there. The actual interface is getting worse and worse though...

I can't wait for them to inject NOS into the warp core...

Always. My absolutely favourite kids animated TV show of all time.

Thats an interesting comment about a "different audience", who are they aiming this as? The audience that came with ST:D, doubtful it's SNW, or people who are still lamenting the end of BSG? I'm going to watch it but the reviews so far are not encouraging.

What makes a 5* Game?

I’ve been reviewing games on EtR* for almost as long as I’ve been playing Escape Games. As of writing this section, I’ve played 580 games and reviewed/rated 572 of them on the site. Why the discrepancy? There’s a couple of reasons and I’ll go into those when I do my post…

(*Escape the Review) Out of those 572 reviews I have only given 15 games all 5 stars (as per EtR’s rating system).

100% agreed..

It’s not my favourite of the new wave of movies (Rogue 1 FTW) but there’s an awful lot to like in this film, the biggest problem really was that there was no overall plan and the retconning in RoS was just painful.

What was the great playground debate of your childhood? Star Wars vs Star Trek? Pulp vs Oasis? Football vs Cricket? Dungeons and Dragons vs Warhammer? I was at school at the dawn of the 8!bit computer era and I have a lot of fond memories of that time. #retrogaming #zxspectrum

I would tend to agree, I was very unimpressed with “the Batman” on first viewing (where’s my Affleck film?) but I do want to rewatch now in the aftermath of that superbly brutal ending
