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.

And…

  • City Hospital

    Belfast City Hospital and the stairs…oh the stairs This entry has been dragging on and on, and I haven’t had the time to work on it. Last week began with a fencing competition. And there I hoped it would end. I believe it was the second worst I have ever done at a competition; second…

  • Pathology and Projects

    Before I even start writing, I’ve had a special request from a friend that I am to pass out to you all. Go and hug your mothers! They are very important people, and you should give them the appreciation they deserve. You never know what will happen in this world, so make the most of…
