    The new Ulcerate, Árstíðir Lífsins, Fractal Generator, Severe Torture and Black Wound releases. Sprinkled with plenty of Misþyrming from Iceland.

    I'm one of these Darkthrone fans that love all the different eras of the band. Transilvanian Hunger is my favourite and always will be though.

    I just missed them here in New Zealand, I didn't even know they were here. Luckily a friend went and scored me a tour shirt.

    I saw this yesterday with my two sons, one of who is a HUGE fan of Keaton era Batman.

    Personally I really enjoyed it, yeah there are flaws but the overall feeling of the movie was awesome. The soundtrack was very cool as well. This is a completely personal observation, to me it made the Bale Trilogy almost feel a little cartoonish in comparison.

    The Riddler was a great villan, it would have been cool to see more of him.

    The Batmobile was my highlight. I made so much fun of Robert Pattison being selected to play Batman when I first heard the news, I am happy to say I was so wrong.

    Either way, I was a very satisfied Batman Fanboi.

    What's a hidden health issue you have to manage?
    ADD.

    What is it like for you?
    Frustrating, can be embarrassing due to a lack of absorbing what I have read or been told and it appears that I ask rather dumb/obvious questions. I'm easily overwhelmed mentally with things if they start getting a little complicated (though I am far from a dense individual). I struggle to read written instructions.

    I have attempted to get assistance from Adult Mental Health (I live in NZ) and have been denied any assistance because I have no history as a child (ADD was almost like a taboo thing I felt back when I was a kid, I'm in my 40's now, I felt like I couldn't talk about this without being told that a) I am being silly or b) get over it) and I have no issues with drugs or alcohol. That frustrates me more than anything else.

    How does it affect your life?
    I've sort of learnt to live with ADD, apart from being mentally tired after work it generally doesn't affect me too much. It is when I am busy at work that it starts to affect me. I also have a tendency to sometimes react quite strongly when a reaction of that nature isn't required.

    What do you want other people to understand about it?
    This doesn't bother me, if people aren't empathetic to take the time to understand how my brain ticks then they aren't someone I want to associate with.

    Do you share this with other people? Why or why not?
    Only when I really have to. I've opened up to a couple of people at work (managers above me) just to try and get them to understand. Generally I get the impression they think I am full of shit or making excuses.
    Either way it's not something I generally discuss outside of my immediate family.

    In ArchLabs case we have a very skilled dev who looks after our ISO. I have very little input these days
