Medal of Honor - veteran difficulty

I have completed the first 2 battle scenarios in Medal of Honor in the veteran difficulty. The main difference compared to the lower difficulty levels is that the CPU soldiers shoot with much more accuracy.

Medal of Honor - campaign completed on veteran difficulty.

After nearly a year of trying and many sore thumbs I have finally completed the campaign of Medal of Honor Heroes for the Sony PSP in the veteran difficulty which is the second or middle difficulty level.  Compared the Green or easy difficulty there are more enemy numbers and the time limit is shorter in some scenarios. I will now attempt to complete the campaign in the most difficult Elite difficulty and I will let you know once I have achieved this.

Fluent Python

In and around getting to grips with django and django rest framework, I have bought the Kindle version of 'Fluent Python' by Luciano Ramalho. It is a comprehensive guide to the inner workings of Python. After 3 weeks I am still on the first chapter which is about the base methods of the built in types such as lists, tuples, strings and dictionaries.  If you ever needed to over ride the basic string methods for instance, this is the book for you.  The paper version of this book contains more than 700 pages so I will be on it for a while.

Nintendo Switch

In the past few weeks, I have bought myself a Nintendo Switch along with two games - ARMS and Mario Karts. ARMS is a motion control boxing game similar to that seen on the Nintendo Wii or the Sony Playstation Move.  Whilst Mario Karts is the latest version of the go kart racing simulator.  Myself I am looking forward to the release of the Farm Simulator at the end of the next month.  Despite this, my Sony PSP is not yet consigned to the scrapheap.

ET - The Extra Terrestrial

Today I went with the family to see a screening of the 1982 classic film ET - Extra Terrestrial at the Hong Kong Cultural Centre.  The background music was provided live by the Hong Kong Philamonic Orchestra. I have watched the film many times before but never with an orchestra providing a live soundtrack. In some ways this harks back to the the silent era where an organist would provide the background music to a film. It was nice to see this film again and it brings back memories of days before smart phones, the internet and where children went out to have fun.
