Kew, Inglourious Basterds and Mechs

I've been off work for a couple of days and so we headed over to Kew Gardens. Unusually, we saw four or five peacocks and one or two peahens (normally we come across one during the day). We also drank coffee, ate cake and walked all over the place.

There's not been an awful lot new in my life since my last post, but LoveFilms brought us a film to watch and there was some roleplaying.

Inglourious Basterds - I enjoyed this, although it isn't one of the best films I've seen this year (better films include Chronicle, The Raid and Attack the Block). It seems to want to be Pulp Fiction at various moments in the dialogue, but wasn't quite there. I think I would summarise as: not as good as the hype, but still worth watching. ( Big Spoilers )

Following the end of the Meteor campaign, a Mech game launched.

Mechs - chrestomancy has been planning a Mech game for a very long time and finally, last Saturday, he ran the first session of character generation, preludes and our first mission. It was great. An mystery that threatens to be one Big Conspiracy, some dodgy families running things and, best of all, MECHS!

I have also been reading The Wise Man's Fear and playing The Blackwell Deception, but I'll blog about those when I've finished them.
