This is a link post Wandering around the Romanian forest with a Dutch Irishman
This Netherlander fellah's been living by Donegal for years now, so his accent is amusingly messed up - but he's a lovely bloke, and films some informative and entertaining survival and nature stuff.
I posted his "Celtic Roundhouse" build a while back - it's finished now, but he's not yet living there like he planned.

Anyway, this is all about how the European Conservation Areas are stunning and important, and still being fucked over by shitheads - but there's always a bit of hope if you work on it.

Sibrel (the fat asshole) tricked them into interviews using false pretences.

For example, he got Armstrong to visit a hotel for "an interview on space for a Japanese children's television show".[1]

He hassled Buzz Aldrin, who famously lamped him.

He really is a colossal shit.

This is a normal post I listened to the Alan Partridge as my choice of audiobook with my wife campervanning around Australia
About eight hours into the book we were driving through the complete middle of no where. It was the bit where he shoots someone live on tv and she stops the van and bursts out "this is just fucking ridiculous!".
I realised i hadn't told her it was a fictional autobiography.
She'd sat through the bit where he has a nosebleed "drip, drip, drip etc" and all the rest without saying a word.

This is a normal post I think he was a bit harsh.
But at the same time I'm pissed off that Steam refused my refund request; a game that cost that much should last longer than three hours. It is beautiful in its own way but it's definitely not a proper game. ZP is right to say that Scorn is essentially a walk through a few pages of concept art.

I'm not saying that it's all bad, just that you should wait for it to hit the £5 mark before you buy it.

that this was going to be a well-produced, but cynical and disappointing cash-grab. much the same feeling i had watching the fallout 76 trailer three years ago, in fact.
agony wasn't very well received (and at least has the decency to be priced accordingly), but it had an undeniable diabolical allure which necrophagic coat-tails i think ebb software knew they could ride.

you and a mate saw a pervert, most likely with mental problems, in a gimp suit. He was out and about at night in a gimp suit doing weird shit because he is a pervert with mental problems, and probably hoped that doing his weird pervert shit at night would allow him to remain anonymous like it used to in the golden years of flashers, forgetting that now every fucker has a smartphone and can take snaps and call the plod at any time

This is a link post New videos up on EXP TV
There are a couple of new videos up on the EXP TV website:

- Songs You Can See: Monster Movies (this was briefly available last Halloween)
- Plants Are People Too

I'm not posting direct links to the videos, as someone from EXP TV recently requested that I take down the page that I had made linking to them, as it was appearing quite high up in search results for EXP TV and compromising their artistic intent, which I was happy to comply with, so you'll have to figure out how to watch them yourselves...

This is a normal post You can't just click on the titles to watch the videos...
EXP TV harks back to the days of broadcast TV, where you have to tune in at a certain time on a certain day to watch a particular programme.

The video that plays on their website when you visit it depends on the day and time where you are (they're not actually live streamed). That's why they asked me to take my web page down.

You can try temporarily changing the date/time on your device to watch a specific video, or, if you understand how websites are built, look through the code to find the links to the individual videos (which is what I did).
