If you try installing MO:ULa on any recent version of Windows you will need to add these legacy drivers if you have an NVIDIA graphics card. This worked well for me also on Windows 10. Install the drivers before attempting to install the game. If you do not install the drivers first, the game installation will probably offer (or tell you) to downgrade your current PhysX drivers. That does NOT sound like a good idea…

Quorthon’s Swan Song
A couple of decades and genre inventions later 2003’s Nordland II became Quorthon’s last record, as he died before he could finish this proposed 4 album cycle. After a rough patch in the 90’s Bathory’s return to form is truly awesome and, it seems, underappreciated. My advice is, do not miss the Nordland records.
The History of Black Metal
When evil and bad religion in some way or another is choking most of this planet, and people get killed for criticizing it, it is good to promote freedom from slavery, and to subscribe to a different style of life. In music, if someone want to know the origin of Black Metal, here it is, the self-titled debut of Swedish “band” Bathory (mostly a one man project actually). The phrase had been coined previously, but with a different style of music. Earlier than you might think, in 1984 genius multi-instrumentalist Quorthon released this album, he was only eighteen years old at the time. Less known perhaps, but it can be said to be similar in impact to the debut of Black Sabbath back in 1970. I have gone through the history and discography of that band here.
Trekker
As a keen walker it was inevitable that the ultimate black Trekker medal was achieved at some point. A bit ironic perhaps that the final kilometer was achieved from my sofa while the GPS drifted me around a bit… 😉

Very Nice Moschofilero
This weekend I have been sampling this very nice Moshofilero. Fairly inexpensive too. Warmly recommended! I cannot remember I have ever had a Moshofilero more than once before, and that was the Skouras version (unforgettable dinner at Petrinos, Kos Town). As far as I can remember (it has been a few years…) this one is equally good.
Flying Cat 5
Another ferry has been added to the collection, the Flying Cat 5.
