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. Garden Update The raised beds are showing various degrees of success. One bed is being slowly replaced by potatoes, and has a good crop of lettuce and radishes. A few of the beetroot and…

    As I was walking back from the hospital in the muggy weather in far too heavy clothes, and with a far too heavy bag, I encountered a rather odd bunch of people. They didn’t look vastly different from you or I, the difference was in their clothing. Something rather peculiar was printed on the back,…

  • Holidays and so on

    I have been lazy. Lazy and busy. Exactly how lazy I’ve been compared to how busy I have been is up for debate, but the general gist is that I either haven’t had much time, or I’ve been out of the country. I did not even get a chance to wrap-up my little bit on…

  • Q-Con: Friday and Saturday

    I eventually made it into Q-Con, long after the Halo 4 tournament, the one tournament I would have been interested in joining, had finished and the short films had been screened. The short film competition was quite possibly the worst advertised aspect of the weekend and in a bad place from a time perspective, as…
