If gaming isn’t a part of your life, you’re doing it wrong.

Isle Trotting
This be a holding post…be ye warned Waterford I popped across the Irish Sea to do some work in Waterford last weekend. The flight was delayed and we ended up being the airport stragglers, left stranded almost an hour after the rest of the occupants had vacated. It isn’t the most comfortable place to be…

Madeira (Escaping the Rain)
Trying to cope with the British weather? Why bother. Just leave already. That was our approach over half term. Why stick it out when you can leave for sunnier climes. I believe the upper classes refer to it as “over-wintering”, but five days away hardly a season makes. Geography lesson. You may think that Madeira…

Once More with Gusto (and Games)
This is the usual pivot-post. Ease you in with some games, teach you how to bake, and finish up with some light food criticism. Bon appétit It (still) Takes Two? Yes, we are still playing It Takes Two. It also takes enough time that we’ve got plenty more to play. I have been slightly side-tracked…

In Too Deep?

It is a fascinating area of medicine and requires knowledge of both traditional pathology and pathophysiology, and the physics and physiology of diving. It isn’t what I expected to develop…

Fried Chicken and Brain Frying Bikes
Bikes and fried chicken. The curse of the semi-early adopter. VanMoof X3 (Thrice the name, thrice the pain…) If you’ve followed my writing over the last year, you may well remember my VanMoof-related strife. My wife’s VanMoof X3 stopped working reliably thanks to a break within the motor cable, and the only way of fixing…

(Alan) Wake and Bake?
We’re going to need games, and food…lots of food. Before you say “this is supposed to be a gaming blog”, it hasn’t all been cooking. We have been enjoying both Control and Alan Wake 2. The intertwined Remedy-verse provides a lot of fodder for fun cross-overs including characters like the enigmatic Finnish janitor, Ahti, who…
