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

  • Walls, Fletchers, and Games

    The Wall Building will Continue until Morale Improves Yes, I have brutalised myself, but all in the name of progress. The wall has come together quite quickly. Is it perfect? Far from it, but it hasn’t fallen down yet and doesn’t look horrendous. It is a long overdue project as I hated the old pseudo-brick…

  • Split Slate and Fiction

    A little bit of gaming, and a little bit of DIY. The dry stone walling workshop at Quince Honey Farm was fun, and though the stones were heavy, the detail was light. The most important messages I took away were to just give it a try. And backfill. Lots of backfill. In this context it’s…

  • Reading on a Deadline

    Because what better way is there to relax than a threat of impending confiscation… The Library No, I’m not talking about your Steam Library. Or your PlayStation catalogue. We are discussing brick-and-mortar (and sometimes chassis in the case of vans) libraries. I have an on-again, off-again relationship with the library system. It was a convenient…

  • Back to porridge…literally

    As you may have guessed, the title represents not only the start of the university semester, but also my return to porridge as an alternative to breakfast cereal. It’s all part of my grander scheme to stay off milk as much as possible; which is in turn part of another even grander scheme. But that’s…

  • Films and what not

    I need help! I need to make a film, before I go completely insane. I had all summer and I haven’t made a film yet – all I have is hours of holiday footage, along with some other stuff. So many ideas are swirling around in my head, but it’s getting motivated to actually do…
