This feels like something out of the Archer TV series.

My great grandfather’s name was Hilary. My nan wasn’t entirely impressed when I mention it was a girls name as a kid xD

I was so disappointed they pivoted and turned it into an MMORPG. I just wanted a single player focused game where I could be immersed in the story.

I don’t get immersed in an MMO type game. It just becomes a task to complete all missions and end up clicking through dialogue. Maybe that’s just me though.

I also just read all the development issues about the SWKOTOR remake.

Which podcast is that? You piqued my interest, but there seem to be a lot of podcasts about the history of Rome.

Apologies, it’s 1153 pages. It’s 2830 on the reader though. But, yes, he restored 400 pages that had originally been removed from the original.

I would like to read The Shining again. Maybe later this year, or next.

Enjoy :)

Apparently, in 1990, it “was reprinted as The Complete & Uncut Edition. King restored over 400 pages of text that had been removed from his original manuscript, revised the order of the chapters, shifted the novel’s setting 10 years forward from 1980 to 1990, and accordingly corrected a number of cultural references.” according to Wikipedia.

I haven’t been able to put the book down but, I think I can see where young you was coming from. I’ve just got up to where a lot of stuff kicks off and that’s at least 600 pages in with 2200 odd left. The Shining is 447…

But, I absolutely loved The Shining and would recomend going to read the actual version of it, and not it’s strange much longer cousin, lol. It’s one of my favourites, along with Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman and Dissolution by C.J. Samson
