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.

  • Cinema, Coffee, and (Haute) Cuisine

    What would Ordinary Decent Gamer be without food? Perhaps a gaming blog… Although ODG started life as Inside Gamescom in 2011, dedicated to the latest releases from the WiFi tent in the Gamescom campsite in Cologne (later almost washed away in a dramatic flood), it has morphed into a shudder “lifestyle” blog. In that it…

  • Baking and Caking

    When life gives you, or rather, doesn’t give you yeast, make sourdough. I have been on and off sourdough since encountering it in Von’s 1000Spirits in Seattle in 2012.

    Christmas…only one more week to go, and I’m not feeling all that Christmassy (apparently it’s a word) yet despite ongoing preparations.

    A brief pause

    There hasn’t been anything up this weekend, but hopefully tomorrow will bring a new post. This is partly due to lack of motivation/laziness, incessant camera research (more on that later), Christmas preparations and of course Skyrim! For now, here are some photographs I took this morning.
