These last couple of months have been a bit crazy with no need for exaggeration. The mads gone world? Coronavirus has become a massive issue that's keeping us all indoors as much as we can be kept in. I've still been working, in fact I've been working more than ever lately. Work seem to be giving me a guaranteed extra shift per week, then every other week another two days on top of that. I'm ashamed to say that I haven't been very productive over this strange timeframe. I produced a couple of Animal Crossing style tracks and have another in the works but otherwise my head has been away from music and I've been burying myself in video games. Mostly Animal Crossing - across all releases but I'be also been playing Hitman, The Sims (Again, all flavours), GTA V, Lego Harry Potter Years 1-4 and a few more retro titles - some of the older Tony Hawk games like THPS4 and THUG.

I've been enjoying my time diving back into gaming as I wasn't really able to over the last few years with Uni. I mean, I did indulge occasionally both during and in-between semesters but not enough to cripple my work flow, like now. (Ha) We're having a Chinese takeaway tonight, it's not something I usually do - I'm more of a KFC fan but the ques since the reopening of the drive thus has been ridiculous so I'll be avoiding that for a while longer, maybe save it for my Birthday next month.
I wanted to talk about something. Has there been an increase in scam adverts on Facebook lately? Only yesterday I saw one for "80% off Lego" - their more expensive ranges. All listed for the same price off £21.99 on a badly written website that suspiciously only takes credit card payment. Today I've seen some weird lightsaber offer that didn't look very convincing, plastered with star wars GIFs and I've just seen an advert for cheating in Animal Crossing, allowing players to buy items thats require a lot of work in-game (which is not so much a scam as an IP issue for Nintendo as it seems to work but has potential to brake the game with duplicated items - and people pay for this!!) Crazy!! I hope this gets sorted soon but I image the current world situation does not help.
