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.

  • 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…

  • So many distractions!

    I’ve been trying to work as much as possible coming up to the start of my exams this Thursday. There’s so much stuff! And it really hasn’t been helped by my excessive spending recently. I was in Scalini’s on Wednesday with the sci-fi society which was pretty good, though not quite up to the standard…

    A Cabinet of Curiosities

    I know I said the blog would be suspended for the time being, but I was in a bad place last week, and I now wish to retract my statement. I simply can’t not write! (please forgive the double negative). Last week I attended a lecture along with my dad at the F. E. McWilliam…
