Tabletop Games
Daggerheart
All 3 games continuing (well, one of them is technically on pause, but it's not cancelled).

Doom
Time flies: it's almost a year since I last played Doom! But I fancied some uncomplicated action (I'd like to get back to Rogue Trooper, but its controls are a pain) so it seemed a good pick. Having played all of the first episode last time, this time I kept going til I got through all of the second, The Shores of Hell. Once again, it took me way longer than it probably should (the best part of two hours), but those levels are torturous mazes! I finally realised you really do need to use the map to find your way around.

Collection Count
Collection Count tracks my DVD/Blu-ray collection via a number of statistics every week.
I finally caved and spent a small fortune on an imported 4K of Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair this week. They'll probably finally announce an even-better and/or much-cheaper UK release now. Also this week, a handful of other mop-up titles (can't believe I didn't order the Fight Club 4K when it came out), all just in time for the monthly running time update.
Number of titles in collection: 3,733 [up 3]
Of which DVDs: 962 [no change]
Of which Blu-rays: 2,771 [up 3]
— of which Ultra HD Blu-rays: 558 [up 4]
Number of discs in collection: 8,964 [up 9]
Number of films: 4,831 [up 3]
Number of additional cuts: 512 [no change]
Number of TV episodes: 10,144 [no change]
Number of short films: 1,337 [up 7]
Total running time of collection (approx.):
624 days, 1 hour, and 14 minutes.
(Up 21 hours and 7 minutes from last month.)
See you next week, faithful reader.

Non-Fiction
Oscar Wars by Michael Schulman
Chapters 6–7
I was enjoying this in July last year, not really sure why my reading of it petered out. Not sure if I'll stick with it now or just read a chapter now and then.
