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.

I’m sitting on the bus from Banbridge to Dublin with Alan, and starting to get excited about the mammoth trip we’re…

  • Beautiful weather…shame about the exams

    I love this weather! Sun splitting the trees, the streets crowded with happy people, the option to leave the house without carrying a coat or jumper. My phone captured it pretty well. It was the busiest I’ve seen the city centre in a good while. Everything about it is fantastic, and best of all it…

  • Living with the Atrix

    This is going to be a relatively short post; practically just an update on how things are going with the new phone. The Atrix is a fantastic phone and has proven very powerful and capable of handling everything I’ve thrown at it so far. I’m typing this post on the lapdock whilst lying in bed.…
