I would like to thank BeardedGamer82 for my second Sunshine Blogger Award!
These blogger awards work as a sort of chain-letter interview, with the recipients nominating a new group and asking new questions at the end of their own post.
Back in February, I shared my favorite song from each ‘Miracle of Sound’ album.
This proved to be very difficult, as there are so many great songs there!
Some people can spend as little as five minutes in the shower.
They just do what’s necessary to get clean, then get out.
In 1991, just before I turned one year old, my favorite activity was to repeatedly empty the pots and pans cabinet out on the floor.
Starbomb is a musical-comedy group consisting of the two main hosts of the video game let’s play show ‘Game Grumps’, Arin Hanson and Dan Avidan, and Brian Wecht.
Back in January I decided I would try out a writing advice from the famous novelist Stephen King, who talks about how you should write a thousand words each day, and to not even worry about quality, and then go back to edit it later. The idea being to get words written down, damn quality or any other factors that are stopping you from writing.
During my summer holiday, I managed to get a bunch of files out of an old broken computer of mine.
I just stumbled unto the image above, along with the two variations you can see below.
Tim Minchin is an Australian musical comedian, usually performing with a grand piano, and sometimes with an entire orchestra.
From time to time, I like to take a look at the stats for my blog.
It can be both fun and useful to see where my site visitors get referred from, and in which country I have the most readers.
I saw some similarities between one of the pictures my mother sent me from when I was ten, and another my girlfriend took of me after a hike this summer, so I decided I would combine them into one image, alongside one of my favorite quotes from Doctor Who.
I am ten in the first image, 28 in the second.
The quote is from the Fourth Doctor story ‘Robot’, from 1975.
Back in February, I shared my favorite song from each ‘Miracle of Sound’ album.
This proved to be very difficult, as there are so many great songs there!
So I have decided to make a Top 10 or Top 5 list for each album, depending on how big the album is to begin with.
I have yet to play any games in the Metal Gear Solid series, so this song does not have any familiarity to something I like to help it ingratiate itself to me, like a lot of other songs by this artist.
I simply enjoy the song, nothing more to say than that.
In this song about The Witcher 3’s main female character Ciri, Gavin gives away most of the singing-duties to Ailin Kennedy.
As with all his other Witcher songs, this one is also great.
I look forward to CD PROJEKT RED!’s next game ‘Cyberpunk 2077’, if only to hear the songs it will inspire Gavin Dunne to make.
I love the movie this song was based on, and I think it is a modern action-classic.
The song fits the movie’s focus on the metal of cars and bullets perfectly, while also touching on the heart of the film, motherhood.
Guns and gas and gods!
While I have played a lot of games in the Assassin’s Creed series, I have not played Syndicate, the game this song was based on.
One of the reasons that I really like this particular song is that I used to be a huge anglophile during my teens, probably helped on by my love for Doctor Who and Harry Potter.
And while I am not quite as crazy about Britain as I was back then, I still love it.

For this month’s geeky recipe I decided to make a quail-egg omelette, based on the Chaos Witch Quelaag, a Dark Souls boss.
.
I have had this idea for over a year, but I had some trouble finding any quail eggs to buy.
Luckily, I was finally tipped off about an exotic grocery story, where they had piles of them!
This recipe serves two people.
.
1. Separate the yolk from the whites of 24 quail eggs, as best you can. It is more difficult to do this with quail-eggs than with chicken-eggs, but if any yolks break just put them in with the whites.
2. Stir in one teaspoon of tomato purée and one teaspoon of sriracha sauce into the egg whites, to achieve a color and hotness reminiscent of Quelaag’s lava-spider lower body.
3. Stir in 15 grams of grated parmesan cheese.
4. Start frying the red egg whites in some butter.
5. Immediately pour the yolks carefully over the whites.
6. Place 14 halves of cherry tomato around on the omelette.
Now we have a nice-looking spider face going.
7. Fry on low temperature until everything has coagulated. Using a lid will speed this up.
8. Serve with a bit of green salad and some bread.
.
After you have devoured Quelaag, you are ready to take on Izalith!
