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

  • PB and J (Plymouth Brunch and Janners?)

    Cocktail history and etymology. What’s not to like? RE9 Update After a terrifying start, we’re in the midst of a Leon-centric segment in Resident Evil Requiem. It’s a great game and not one we want to rush to completion. We’ve also had a smattering of Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty which has been a lot of…

  • A Few Good Days

    Travelling, food, and other bits and pieces. We spent a week of the Easter holidays travelling the South coast of England, spending some time around Windsor (Legoland), Canterbury, and Rustington. It was a lot of driving, but with the Polestar 2 it didn’t feel like it. The only bits that were a little hairy were…

  • Cyberpunk, Tomb Raider and a Tipple

    While RE9 continues to scare the living daylights out of me, I thought I’d pivot to something lighter. I returned to Cyberpunk 2077 for the first time in a few months and still find it a fascinating game. It’s more playable on the PS5 than my original attempt on the PS4, and part of the…

Deeply philosophical internal reflections? That sounds like a perfect way to wind down! Welcome to Disco Elysium, a 2019 role-playing game developed…

  • Any Port(o) in a Storm – Port 1

    That should be Part 1, perhaps after too much port. I spent a few days in Porto visiting a laboratory for a digital pathology workshop. Of course, I couldn’t come this far and not spend a bit of time exploring the city on the Douro. Plane. Train. Automobile. And bus. That’s how you get to…
