rockford	Badvent Calendars (2017) So, with it being December 1st (at least it is right here, right now, where I am) it's time to open the doors and floodgates to awful tat that arrives neatly packaged in boxes of promise. I bought this year's calendar blind. Other than the general content I didn't have a clue what it contained. The box doesn't give anything away either, so this could be good, or it could be bad(vent). Let's find out... > Reveal 🔎 The Box. The contents of Day#1 > Reveal 🔎 Well, what can I say. It's a stocking. Made of rubber (probably for fetishists). But it's also pretty nice. So a pretty good start then. Could I dare hope that the cheapest Advent calendar I've ever bought, could actually be good... Time will tell.

Jayenkai	Kewly! > Reveal 🔎 Is that like Eraser rubber, or just Toy rubber? Could it be a while calendar full of little bits of stationary!? Oooh, the excitement of it all! Currently doing my Platdude Pixelart/Blog stuff, and then will get to my calendar shortly. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

rockford	Erasers FTW Don't keep us waiting too long...

Jayenkai	Alrighty.. Let's get going! Day 1. Duerr > Reveal 🔎 [flickr]26986266979[/flickr] The crappy Duerr calendar has only Strawberry Jam or Orange Marmalade in it. So each day we get to play "Jam or Marmalade!" It's an exciting game of chance.. ... I think. Either that or it'll alternate blandly. :\ So, place your bets. Jam or Marmalade?! > Reveal 🔎 [flickr]38045361474[/flickr] Jam!! Lesson of the day. Although it seems there's oodles of Jam and/or Marmalade in there, it really isn't all that much, and doesn't go well over 2 slices of toast. For the rest of the calendar I'll be sticking to 1 slice of toast. ... FFS, not even enough Jam and/or Marmalade for 2 slices of toast. Bah, Humbug. Tea > Reveal 🔎 [flickr]37875238555[/flickr] Every day is a different tea. (Learn from this, Duerr!!!) Today's tea.. > Reveal 🔎 [flickr]23897154887[/flickr] Green Tea with Cinnamon, Ginger, Cardamom, Cloves, Nutmeg, Pepper and Pomegranate Taste : A little metallic. Not something I'd drink regularly. Haynes Radio > Reveal 🔎 [flickr]38731031752[/flickr] Each day is an "experiment" which builds up to become a complete little radio!! Amazing!!! > Reveal 🔎 [flickr]23897155797[/flickr] A speaker!! Oooh. No soldering required throughout the build, apparently. The two wires are already attached to the speaker. But quite how they'll get attached to the rest of thing, I'm not sure. .. BluTack!?

rockford	I guessed right! Yay!!! This is going to be fun! Did they use every possible ingredient in that teabag? Me thinks they are trying a bit too hard (or couldn't find a taste that they liked that hadn't been done before). I've always wondered what a battery sounded like. Now I know. My imaginings were better... Roll on Day #2

GfK	Suppose you could move your December breakfast rota to alternating toast/cornflakes. That way you can save up two days of jam.

Jayenkai	\O/yeay\o/ Ashens and Nerdcubed are at it again! Day 1 : https://youtu.be/ZZGaM-llyKc -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

rockford	Yep, just got home from work and saw that
Sat, 02 Dec 2017, 02:48
rockford	And onto Day #2 > Reveal 🔎 This is a little more random than I was expecting. But perhaps that should be the motto for this calendar; expect the unexpected. > Reveal 🔎 I suppose fruit and Christmas kind of go together. And cherries are often put into Christmas cakes. And Cherry Pies. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Cherry Pie! Maybe the calendar isn't Christmas focused at all and could incorporate anything and everything. Still, I like cherries. So these are quite nice.

Jayenkai	Oooh, exciting! So, are we expecting a complete eraser set, then?! Mine will be up, shortly! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''
Sat, 02 Dec 2017, 03:03
rockford	Yep 25 (yes, 25!!!) erasers. This calendar comes up with the goods, even on Christmas day
Sat, 02 Dec 2017, 04:24
GfK	The only mistake you won't be able to erase, is buying that advent calendar!

Jayenkai	Tea > Reveal 🔎 [flickr]38751619942[/flickr] Ingredients : Cinnamon, Ginger, Cardamom, Cloves, Star Anise, Nutmeg and Black Pepper Taste : Slightly less metallic than yesterdays, but still not "smooth". Jam Or Marmalade > Reveal 🔎 [flickr]37896200965[/flickr] I was almost certain that was going to be a Marmalade, today!

Jayenkai	Otakupunk's doing his usual "A Shot A Day" Calendar. He also usually plays my annual game calendar, but since I havenâ€™t made one this year, he's having to improvise.

rockford	How dare they call that tea? That's not tea, that's just any old shit thrown together. Bleurghh! Do the boxes all fit together to make a nice picture at the end? I thought marmalade too. Maybe tomorrow you'll get lucky. Maybe Paddington will vist. You'll be building a nuclear reactor soon. Just wait til North Korea come calling!

Jayenkai	Ashens and NerdCubed Day Two https://youtu.be/9g3HSYPUHWM Yeah, I think the boxes make a picture. They all have a weird picture on the back, so Iâ€™m assuming those fit together, anyway!! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

rockford	Day 3 of 25. And so it continues... > Reveal 🔎 In the bleak late autumn of 2017, the first snowflakes have fallen. Not in my area, but somewhere around. But yet... > Reveal 🔎 Here we are with a genuine, rubber-ish, snowflake. Hark! A couple of billion more and - a) I could build a snowman b) My house would be buried Roll on Day #4
Sun, 03 Dec 2017, 02:56
Jayenkai	Lovely amount of detail on that.
Sun, 03 Dec 2017, 03:01
rockford	Yeah, I think this calendar was actually created with a lot of care tbh. Very nicely done

Jayenkai	Tea > Reveal 🔎 [flickr]37917435715[/flickr] Ingredients : Cinnamon, Peppermint and Licorice!? Taste : It doesn't taste as bad as it smells.. :\ Jam Or Marmalade Place your bets! > Reveal 🔎 [flickr]23939079417[/flickr] Paddington would be proud. Radio > Reveal 🔎 [flickr]23939079157[/flickr] [flickr]27028379019[/flickr] View on YouTube Rubbish YouTube today. I tried my best, but it was fiddly as fuck to hold on to all the bits at once, and balance the camera, all whilst trying to "tickle" the speaker with the battery so that it goes "fizzz" properly. Youtube will be back to normal, tomorrow, because the way the instructions are printed, (2 "pages" to each side of paper) they've already spoiled what tomorrow's bit will be. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''
Sun, 03 Dec 2017, 07:46
rockford	Some very strange brews so far. Marmalade FTW I'm buzzing with anticipation at the next bit of the circuit!

Jayenkai	Day Four Tea > Reveal 🔎 [flickr]27050858329[/flickr] Ingredients : Ginger, Cloves and Star Anise Taste : Definitely not as bad as yesterday. I can taste the clove quite a lot more in this one. Almost nice! These are all kinda samey, so far. Like an odd concoction of random bits and pieces, all kinda becoming the same sort of taste. Reminds me of the soup in hospital... Jam Or Marmalade > Reveal 🔎 [flickr]38796110922[/flickr] Radio > Reveal 🔎 [flickr]37940653515[/flickr] [flickr]37940653455[/flickr] Aha, a Breadboard.. Just the very thing I needed. Now I have somewhere to place my toast when I'm spreading all my Marmalade and Jam! View on YouTube You can't tell, but there's a very very quiet "tickle-fizz" sound when poking into the correct hole! The louder fizzle-crack occurs when I bypass the resistor. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''
Mon, 04 Dec 2017, 03:34
rockford	Still calling that muck tea? Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmarmalade. Jam tomorrow would be my guess. Breadboard. Doesn't taste nice with jam or marmalade on it. For my Festive ~~fetish~~ fortune I have yet more rubber. This one's a bit random again - > Reveal 🔎 A Christmas cactus? Still, it does look very nice.
Mon, 04 Dec 2017, 03:39
Jayenkai	That's lovely!! I'd keep that one on my desk! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''
