Lat week was a fun week with a fun theme, but For Honor, WoW and Blood Bowl 2 kept me away from doing all that I could've done. With BigOne's support, the crew maintained their spot in the Gold Tier. It looks a lot brighter for our tenure now as we're leaning against the green. I'm perfectly happy with maintaining Gold Tier as flip-flopping I'm not a fan of.

This week's Rivals competition is finally of a quality that doesn't make me wanna vomit after 30 minutes. A great, albeit small, selection 'W'-songs with a lot of my personal favorite songs in them and a Spotlight-song section with a nice surprise in the line-up.

Well, the less said about last week the better. You're not telling me that a tier with 87 bands in it reduces our percentiles with this much effect as opposed to a lower tier with several hundred bands in it. The diminishing returns are through the roof and the percentile drops as you even watch the status-screen. Demoralizing is the word to use here.

It was a hard push, but 2o2p-crew made it out of the ghettoes of the bronze, silver and gold tiers and as of now reside in the platinum tier. The song choices of last week were atricious, so I ended up exhausting the deminishing returns on the spotlight songs and song by the Who, to avoid having to deal with the earbleeds otherwise polluting the 'W'-list last week.

Allah, Allah, Allah. What torture. The spotlight-songs are horrendous and I'm not having a good time with the 'W'-songs too. The first spotlight song, 'I'm sorry, mister' by No Doubt I can only classify as a set of unpleasant noises that can sterilize frogs in a 500yrd radius. The second is worse than that and the perpetrators behind that should be treated as having committed a terrorist-attack with that abuse of 'musical expression'. The third song is quite fun, but the jewel-track is, for guitar and bass, incomprehensible.

2o2p Day! Little did I know it existed while I finally finished decorating my little condo overlooking the Tri-City comprised out of The Hague, Rijswijk and Zoetermeer. Living where I live makes one regretting that it isn't new-year's eve everyday. The view is astonishing. Since I take senior-gaming very seriously and believe that you shouldn't do a hobby unless you're prepared to do it right, I decided that I should honor 2o2p Day with pictures from my livingroom, which is a celebration of gaming all by itself.
