Tin-Pot Empire (Phrases)

A tin-pot empire is a small, weak or fake-seeming realm or organisation led by someone who acts very important but lacks real power. The phrase uses "tin-pot" to mean cheap, flimsy and low quality while combined with the word "empire" to mock a grand rule that is actually tiny and silly.

Slakebuster Trophy - Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy Guide

 Guide by Warren Woodhouse

To trigger Drax's Call-to-Action against the Slakebeast, you’ll need to weaken the beast in Chapter 3 by lowering the beasts health until it’s very low or until you’ve filled up the Stagger meter, wait for a random Triangle button prompt upon staggering it and then press the Triangle button when Drax steps up to perform the move. The Call-to-Action is chosen at random, if this happens, just reload your last checkpoint. If you’re struggling to unlock this trophy, you can low your difficulty level and then wait until your other Guardians have fell down during combat, so that Drax becomes active again.

I heard an unusual whirring sound just now (Journal)

 Journal Entry by Warren Woodhouse

I just heard this weird and quite strange sound coming from one of our neighbours near our farm. I’m not sure what the noise is but it sounded like a low humming sound, almost like a cutter, not sure.

Weirdly enough, was watching a horror film before putting the dogs in the garden for their last pee and poos of the day only to hear a weird sound coming from the other side of the lake, where my other neighbour is just shy beyond a forest. Could be something or nothing.

I don’t know.

Will keep an ear open tonight, I reckon.

Update: Turns out it was a helicopter circling overhead nearby. They sometimes do flybys but not always.
