The remains of the day

Got home again at around 9:30 and just mooched around for an hour or so before heading into town. Picked up a couple of PC/Mac hybrid games for home and laptop play (Quake 3 & Warcraft 3, £30 for both) before heading to OxCon. I'm not actually a hardcore gamer, so it was just a chance to play a few random and interesting games (not the Diplomacy tournament). Much fun was had (partly due to a healthy dose of beginner's luck). Sloped out late afternoon for some more retail therapy - Buck Rodgers Flash Gordon and Tron DVDs at £20 for the two - classic! More curry in the evening, complete with a game of Mao at the table (and some drinks that were ordered on arrival only turning up after we'd finished eating. No tips for them...)

Flash, I love you, but we only have fourteen hours to save the Earth!

See! It's impossible not to loff a movie with unashamedly naff lines like that ;-)

And the costumes! Very technicolour-retro-fiftes-futurama-bondage-dungeon. Or something.
