Our daughter mentioned this yesterday and was happy that Dad's little hobby was played by people other than boring middle aged gits ;) :D.

Now the Witcher is cool! He just needs to discover 10mm Pendraken to be really on trend (whatever that means?)  ;D

I had to look up who this Henry Cavill is and then look up Witcher. I knew what Netflix was as my wife watches it while I am painting figures in the hut.

Not seen the Superman film(s?), or the Witcher, but believe he was in the last Mission: Impossible, and The Man from U.N.C.L.E. film.

Haven't seen Superman since Christopher Reeve days, the Witcher I have mentioned already and Men from Uncle were Robert Vaughn and David McCallum. Mission Impossible is from the 60's and I can't remember that far back.

This message will self destruct in 5 seconds...

Yeah, no. If you can remember Vaughn & McCallum in Man from U.N.C.L.E. you can remember Mission: Impossible.

I'll just point out that Henry Cavill's brother is a Royal Marine Commando. Thus, Superman is not a Commando and Superman plays WH40K. I am a Royal Marines Commando and I play with 10mm Pendraken metal. 'Lights blue touch paper and stands back ....'

Maybe you should invite the Cavill's over for a game post lockdown. I know my daughter would be very happy to see Superman/The Witcher brother... ;) :D

You are making an assumption that every program possible was watched by everyone all the time.

I remember being a fresh air kid, usually didn't go home until it was dark and certainly had no control over the TV channel which didn't have a remote being tuned at the set.

So I probably missed a few.
