If gaming isn’t a part of your life, you’re doing it wrong.

  • PB and J (Plymouth Brunch and Janners?)

    Cocktail history and etymology. What’s not to like? RE9 Update After a terrifying start, we’re in the midst of a Leon-centric segment in Resident Evil Requiem. It’s a great game and not one we want to rush to completion. We’ve also had a smattering of Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty which has been a lot of…

  • A Few Good Days

    Travelling, food, and other bits and pieces. We spent a week of the Easter holidays travelling the South coast of England, spending some time around Windsor (Legoland), Canterbury, and Rustington. It was a lot of driving, but with the Polestar 2 it didn’t feel like it. The only bits that were a little hairy were…

  • Cyberpunk, Tomb Raider and a Tipple

    While RE9 continues to scare the living daylights out of me, I thought I’d pivot to something lighter. I returned to Cyberpunk 2077 for the first time in a few months and still find it a fascinating game. It’s more playable on the PS5 than my original attempt on the PS4, and part of the…

  • Luck is not forthcoming

    Before I begin, apologize for my erratic posting, and subsequent lack there of. I’ve been pretty busy lately, and all my free time has either been spent being lazy, playing Skyrim, setting up an HTPC or cooking. Blogging has fallen by the wayside as a result. And just when I thought it couldn’t get any…

  • There should have been a post…

    With the stress of a looming exam, and family leaving for the states, I completely forgot about posting. I had already prepared my post in advance, or at least made notes, but I accidentally left them at home! So…what should have been Friday’s post, moved to Sunday, and now will be this Wednesday night as…
