Solid mix from you System-J. I didn't particularly love the first 25 minutes but things picked with the acid number and then you hit a groove.

Thanks for the kind words, Dave.

Jack - wait, is lamb not an acceptable Sunday Roast? Not sure if you're being sarcastic with the 'unorthodox' comment there... Asking for a friend.

Cheers Tangil, glad you enjoyed it.

I wouldn't say it's "unacceptable", but it's unusual. Beef, pork and chicken are the normal pub options. Although, I personally think that pub roasts are almost always overpriced and underwhelming bollocks. I've eaten numerous pub roasts with Marta, generally with the normal ingredients replaced with wanky, fiddly replacements to justify the �15 asking price. She said the best example she's eaten by far was the one made by my mother.

Like a lot of traditional meals in a lot of countries, the only way to experience it properly is to get someone to make it for you at home.

Oh, God, well, yeah, fuck pub options in general, really. The ONLY pub food that pubs can make better than at home, in my opinion, is fish-and-chips, due to their deep-frying abilities. I would assume any meal at home is better cooked - though, perhaps, I'm being overly optimistic with regards to people's cooking abilities. I would assume your mother could knock 'spoons out of the fucking park, in terms of a Sunday Roast - and, really, any food not deep-fried.

We're not even talking about a Wetherspoons here, but the kind of hi-falutin' hipster gastropub that specialises in microbrewery craft ales.

Even worse, then

On a more relevant note, I think this challenge was so successful because people could use their own tunes. The thing about the Genre Challenges is that (unless you strike lucky) the players are forced to buy a load of new tracks, a lot of which they'll probably never use again and might not even particularly like. It can become less a creative challenge and more a chore.

So whatever we do next, I would suggest formulating challenges where the players can use the music they already like/own.

Agreed completely. This was the most fun I've had in a long while.

Excellent point. In addition, we have already done so many genre challenges that the appeal is likely lost at this point. I mean there are only so many times that you can listen to mixes of random genres before you get really bored.

This was such a great challenge because everyone had a unique interpretation of the same theme, and that was awesome to see people use tracks that they never would have had the opportunity to play without this theme challenge framing them.

So yeah maybe we can put Genre Challenges on the back burner for a while, and try out some different ideas.

Agreed.
