My evenings my own. For a while at least.

Since starting my new job I've felt liberated in the evenings and weekends! It's actually taken a little getting use to, but I now find myself painting models, taking time to read, learn Swedish, as well as frequently enjoying games with mates.

My Dreadball team have never seen so much attention! I've almost finished them, although I will probably want to put a bit more detail on them in time, just need to get some highlighting done to get them to a reasonable playable state though. I'm hoping my gaming group can get a small league going in a couple of weeks after we finish our current Pathfinder campaign.

Monday night is becoming a regular gaming evening for me and my mates. Currently, we're playing Pathfinder, which is my first ever proper delve into the world of pen-and-paper RPGing. I'm thoroughly enjoying playing a grizzly warrior-like cleric. Would like to have another crack at being a warrior, as I had one when we first started but he died in our first adventure!

Computer game wise, as I mentioned in my last post, my girlfriend and I have been enjoying LEGO Lord of the Rings, running around finding all the collectables in all the levels. We're so close now to 100%!! I really enjoy using all the other characters and just roaming around a lego version of the greatest fantasy world ever! My opinion of Forza 4 is growing with time. I'm really enjoying building different cars for different purposes, doing hot laps and just racing for the sheer joy of it. Finally in the land of computer games, Mine Craft is still a favourite late night game for my friends and I, mining and crafting away, building huge towers and delving deep into the depths of the world looking for precious resources.

My next Open Uni course starts in October so my free time will significantly reduce then, but I'm really looking forward to getting stuck into it. Can't wait to start learning Java.

Other things I'm trying to get back into are playing my guitar, which I'm enjoying again, and getting back into Wastelands. Wastelands really just needs to be play tested as I've still only played the latest version once!

Anyway, really enjoying my various hobbies at the moment, will try to check in again soon.
