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…

Aside from the usual classes, I’ve started back to fencing (I was extremely rusty), camcorder club (apparently I’m doing a talk on sound in films, despite not…

  • Themes

    I’m in the process of choosing a new theme, and open to any comments or suggestions. This one actually looks pretty good, but I’ll be on the lookout for others so it may change again over the next while. Wish me luck! I’ve also put a few more pages up, with some background about the…

  • Quest Completed!

    This has been a very busy week with the start of semester and everything. As you’ve probably guessed from the achievement, my keyboard quest has finally drawn to a close. After a long trek to the Springfield road, I walked away with a 1995 IBM Model M, made in the UK by Lexmark. It’s one…
