Late May and the Puppies are in Bloom

Posted on 24/05/2021 - 24/05/2021 by Hamish

It has been a wee while since there was an official schedule, mainly due to continued puppy disruption. I am going to start scheduling again from this week and try to get Peanut into a routine of resting at the correct time for me to stream.

In this first week of the New Plan™ I will be streaming things that need less dedicated concentration for the most part, in the hopes of ironing out any problems with his new routine. To that end this week will start with a quiz (the last one to use the quiz engine we have used before, I will chat about that when we are getting ready to start) and the rest of the week I will play retro games while chatting about my own Z80 computer project.

Monday: Quiz nite!
Tuesday – Thursday: Classic gaming and chat about building the Z80 retro computer

Tentative Schedule

Posted on 03/05/2021 by Hamish

I am not sure if I will be able to do a full stream (puppy-dependent) but I will at least attempt to start one each night. We are still in the world of Deus Ex so I will try to complete that when I can.

Monday- Thursday: Deus Ex (finishing times may vary)

Carrying on with playing through one of my old favourites (albeit slightly updated via a mod), the wonderful “Deus Ex”. Dystopian sci-fi with world domination plots, plagues, claims of alien life and more…

Monday – Thursday: Deus Ex

April Apocalypse

Posted on 05/04/2021 by Hamish

Hi peeps. Due to ongoing puppy-domination I haven’t had time or energy to organise much, thankfully we still have most of Metro: Last Light to play so I will attempt to do that this week.

Must not kill tiny, bitey, shitey, pishy, scratchy, whiny, annoying dog.

Monday – Thursday: Metro: Last Light

New Schedule Times

Posted on 17/03/2021 by Hamish

Hi peeps, I am making a change to the regular stream schedule. So from next week, Monday the 22nd of March 2021, the new regular stream times will be Monday – Thursday 1900 – 2200 UK local time (currently UTC) and Friday Fright Night will remain at 2000 – 2300. I will put a permanent link to the UK time on the world clock website so people can check whenever they want. The stream is also announced as it goes live on our Matrix room and I will try to get my act together and get it announced in unison on the Mastodon page. The schedule for this week will remain all 2000 – 2300.

I hope these small changes will benefit us all, I should be less tired and it won’t be so late for our mostly UK and Mainland Europe audience. Apologies to others but this is mainly to try and improve our experience by making me less tired by the middle of shows.

Thank you all for watching and all your support and encouragement, see you on stream!

New Beginnings

Posted on 15/03/2021 - 15/03/2021 by Hamish

Last week was very tough but life goes on and I was able to get a new puppy. Zeus was very friendly with people but he didn’t cope well with other dogs so I couldn’t get another one, even though I wanted to for a while. Meet Peanut, a Siberian Husky puppy, he’s just over eight weeks old and has pished everywhere.

I won’t be back to streaming until Wednesday but then the schedule should be back to normal.

Monday & Tuesday: No stream
Wednesday & Thursday: Trine with special guests!
Friday Fright Night: game to be confirmed
