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…

  • A Barbican Brunch

    The title says it all. We were down in the city centre of Plymouth several times over the weekend for Seafest-related events (and Toddler Club at Everyman, of course). On Saturday after the cinema we had a quick walk through the stalls on display at Royal William Yard and got to try some circus equipment…

  • Gaming and Camping (Gamping?)

    When you feel like doing nothing else, there are always games to comfort you. Being ill isn’t fun, but games are. Mostly. The fun ones, at least. I’ve gotten back into Horizon Forbidden West, a game I have had on the go for a long time now. It’s a densely packed experience and one I…
