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. I was relatively late to the party (compared to the Epgyptians in 1500 BCE), but in my defence, it wasn’t much of a thing in Northern…

  • C&C (Cars and Coals)

    What do you do when you need a break? Spend five hours driving to Manchester, of course! Yes, that is the kind of logic I employ. It’s a day away from work, to go to a work-related meeting, but a day away from the grind is more than welcomed. Driving the Polestar 2 a couple…

Writing has overtaken my reading lately, and I’m still on the second

  • Tiredness was setting in, as he wearily typed his blog entry

    The title explains it all. Sorry the post was a little late, but I couldn’t be bothered the last few days, there hasn’t been anything particularly interesting going on. Well, there has been some stuff going on but not much new in tech or gaming here. Everyone is coming and going – my sister is

  • A generally mixed day

    I figured I’ve been doing way too much lately and my concentration has been divided between too many things, causing everything to suffer in the process. The latest casualty is my Halo skill, which has apparently vanished in the time since I’ve last played Reach online. My first match was Slayer DMRs which was one
