Yesterday I got my first word by putting two non-gaming words together and the same thing could have happened today with FEEDBACK, giving me a good start.
As a former music journalist, I’ve witnessed many artists’ SOUNDCHECK as they tested their kit before a gig. It was something I found quite exciting – seeing the artist on stage before anyone else – but which I quickly discovered was one of the most boring things a musician can do, which is why the famous ones give the job to a member of their touring crew.
Perhaps it was worth it, as it allowed me to navigate through today’s Strands without a hitch. Check one-two.
