Despite the fact that every game has shaky cam that makes me motion sick (just give us the option to turn it off) I do like the Lego games. It's just enough of a challenge to keep me engaged but nothing I actually have to turn my brain on for.
So when Steam was having a Marvel bundle sale I bought a few games.
I had played this before on PlayStation so I knew there would be some bugs and janky bits but I figured The games been out so long there;d be fixes available for anything game breaking.

While the game did crash a couple of times it was in the overview map so I wasn't actually doing anything so I just took it as a sign I was done for the day.
There was really only 2 times caused actual issues, both were in freeplay.

On one level Thor was supposed to hit a giant pumpkin at Magneto in the finale battle of the stage and I accidentally swapped characters just as the animation started and the character froze. It also go rid of the pumpkin but didn't hit Magneto so I couldn't finish the battle. thankfully I had gotten all the extras I from the level so I didn't actually need to finish the battle and could just save and exit to New York.

The other time was was on the extra mission in Dr. Strange's house.
Again in the final fight, this time it crashed the game and I lost and the extras I found. I had to do the mission again and just save and exit the level before the final fight triggered.
A least it was fast to do.

The only other real glitch I had was, despite having already done Blade's second side mission on the main map I didn't actually unlock the character nor trigger him to move. I didn't realize until I had finish every thing else because his mission marker had disappeared from the map.
I was only after I realized I was missing 2 characters that I had to investigate what had happened. After a bunch of googling various walkthroughs I was eventually able to find out I was missing Iron Fist (and Blade, which you get on his next mission) and find out were the mission was on the map and trigger it again. (The road that goes underground for a bit.)

I will say to anyone playing this to do the rescue Stan Lee quests whenever you can on the main map because they only trigger one after another and there are a lot of them. By the end of the game hey were the only thing I had left to do (bar figuring out the Blade glitch) go I ended up flying back and forth all over the map to get them all done.


Still, I 100% it at last.

We have a mini heatwave at the moment but I got a Mega Abomasnow so I made this anyway

Just messing about

Some more fossil Pokemon

This isn't about the danger of driving too fast or anything like that.
This is about the fact that there's no point.

The other month (I meant to write this out ages ago but kept forgetting) I was driving to work.
I had left at a reasonable time so I knew, even with morning traffic, I was going to make it in plenty of time.
So I wasn't in a hurry, but I couldn't help but notice someone who was.

I first noticed them in fount of me when I was turning onto a road with a traffic camera. Since I was careful to go the exact speed limit it was really obvious that the car was speeding away from me was not.

Now, this would ordinarily would just make me shrug and feel a little bad for the guy, as they were definitely going to end up with a ticket from this, but I ultimately wouldn't have remembered it if it wasn't for the rest of my journey.

The car had some uniquely shaped rear brake lights. So even when they were too far ahead to see anything else it was easy to tell I was still behind the same car.

You might think, they were speeding, surely weren't behind them for that long.
You'd be wrong.

Every time there was a turn off I caught up with the car. Every time traffic let us through I was right behind them. Every time they speed off again I went the speed limit as they tore off ahead. And every time I caught up with them at the next turning.

There was only one point were I wasn't directly behind the car and that was when the traffic let one car between us for a spell. But they soon turned off to another road I was directly behind them again.

This happened for the entire trip.

Eventually I got to work and it turned out they were heading to the building next to mine.
I saw them parking through the fence as I was pulling into my spot.

So there you go.
There's no point in speeding you'll get where you're going at pretty much the same time regardless.

I'm on a roll today so here are 3 Pokemon pics
