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…

Previously on Friday (the typical recap sequence) : The title is pretty self explanatory. Alan brought Skyrim home, and I just thought I would play for half an hour to get a flavour…

  • Love the night, but hate the rain!

    I’m sitting here, back at home after getting soaked walking around Belfast. My ‘waterproof’ coat was completely saturated 10 minutes into a 30 minute walk to the Europa. The title may seem weird, but also familiar to those who have played Vampire Rain – the game with some of the dodgiest voice acting ever. Have…

  • Halloween, and more

    It has been another busy week, and I’d like to say I didn’t post last night because I was working, but really I was just playing the new Deus Ex DLC – The Missing Link. Halloween was on Monday of course, and strangely didn’t feel as “Halloweeny” thanks to the medic Halloween party being last…
