The Lord of the Rings: Adventure Book Game
Chapter 1: The Adventure Begins
Normally I wouldn’t log when I play, say, Scrabble, but this isn’t that kind of board game — it’s one of them there modern ones, with lots of different decks of cards and a “corruption tracker” and different objectives and rules for each chapter, and so on and so forth. More complicated than some of the reviews I read led me to believe, which I was fine with but I think my co-player found a bit more than we’d expected — but we enjoyed it in the end, so that’s good! Seven more chapters to go…

this week on 100Films.co.uk
It was almost a whole week ago now, but a new month did begin this week, and so 100Films.co.uk had the usual looks back at the previous month.
As always, it started with all the films I did watch...
...and concluded with all the new ones I didn't watch...
More next Sunday.

Collection Count
Collection Count tracks my DVD/Blu-ray collection via a number of statistics every week.
Two additions from Arrow's current sale this week: Blackhat on 4K (though I'm more interested in the bundled Director's Cut, which is unfortunately only in 1080p) and one of their Giallo Essentials box sets (which, of its three films, one replaces a title I already owned, and another I still own in a different box set. This is why I waited for it to be in a sale).
Number of titles in collection: 3,256 [up 1]
Of which DVDs: 1,008 [no change]
Of which Blu-rays: 2,248 [up 1]
— of which Ultra HD Blu-rays: 336 [up 1]
Number of discs in collection: 7,911 [up 4]
Number of films: 4,011 [up 3]
Number of additional cuts: 366 [up 1]
Number of TV episodes: 9,673 [no change]
Number of short films: 1,129 [no change]
See you next week, faithful reader.

Is this the first day this year I've played by itself on its intended day (i.e. not at the end of a longer catchup)? I think it might be!

2x07 Your Own Worst Enemy
2x08 Fame At Last [season finale]
All in all, probably not quite as good as the first series — that had a higher episode count and an abundance of story to fill it, whereas it felt like this one sometimes struggled to even get to eight — but it still had its moments, and was entertaining and interesting and worthwhile. Is there scope for a third series? I don't know what it would cover, but if there's something worth spotlighting (in the same way this series took the characters in a wholly fictional direction to explore a different factual aspect of the era), I'm sure it would be worth doing.

Critical Role
2x06 The Howling Mines [1st half]
The fact I'm really enjoying Critical Role and am happy to watch it for hours and hours ("episode six" doesn't sound like much, but between the main show and Talks Machina, it's over 28 hours of content so far) is having a negative effect on my film viewing. But I'm having fun, so...
