Ordinary Decent Gamer

Your daily overdose of gaming, and life in general

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

  • Cakes, Cooking, and the demise of CDs

    Not quite CDs, but disc-based media… I’ve been a bit busy since the last post. Trips to Manchester and Waterford, and a rather unseasonable heatwave. Oh and a change in prime minister too. A lot has happened in a relatively short period of time. But first, let’s jump back eight years… Red Dead Redemption 2…

  • On the Road Again

    The beginning of the Irish chronicle. Our epic journey started in Plymouth with an easy two hour drive to Bristol airport one sunny Saturday afternoon. An easy drive hasn’t been guaranteed the last couple of months due to the Curse of the Acoustic Foam! No, it’s not a campy B-movie, but instead an attempt by…

  • Gardening and a (It’ll be) Grand Tour

    I’m still plugging away at Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty (excellent DLC, by the way). Here’s what I’ve been up to otherwise.

  • The Day Off – Writing Challenge Day One

    The Day Off It isn’t as big as Mr Bueller’s day off, but it’s my day off. I’m using it to wander around and immerse myself in the wonders of Belfast, and trying to boldly go where I’ve previously avoided going, just because it seemed like more effort than it was worth previously. I started…

    The First Writing Challenge!

    After watching the Double Fine Adventure documentary, I have been inspired somewhat. I’ve been inspired to write more often and to try and write about anything and everything. It seems to be the best way to access all of the ideas tucked away into the far reaches of my mind, and so far, it is…

    Baking and Filmmaking

    Summer is a strange time of the year for me. I started this blog in the summer of 2011, and at that stage I was posting up every couple of days, but I’ve been struggling to write anything at all recently. When I do start something, I end up getting distracted with other work, and…
