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

Split Slate and Fiction
A little bit of gaming, and a little bit of DIY. The dry stone walling workshop at Quince Honey Farm was fun, and though the stones were heavy, the detail was light. The most important messages I took away were to just give it a try. And backfill. Lots of backfill. In this context it’s…

Reading on a Deadline
Because what better way is there to relax than a threat of impending confiscation… The Library No, I’m not talking about your Steam Library. Or your PlayStation catalogue. We are discussing brick-and-mortar (and sometimes chassis in the case of vans) libraries. I have an on-again, off-again relationship with the library system. It was a convenient…

Travels and (Almost) Total Solar Eclipse
There are plenty of reasons to holiday in the Catalan capital. Sangria. Tapas. Gaudi. Xocolate. Our summer holiday was a re-do of last years washed out trip to Barcelona. Surely it couldn’t rain the entire time in August? Thankfully this time we only got an hour or so over the duration of the holiday. X…

I had planned on re-ordering it but was reliably informed by my Intel-insider that the 15th generation of Intel CPUs was due to launch within the next month so it might be worth holding off. So that’s exactly what I…

Behind the Scenes of Newforge Studios’ 2024 Halloween Film (Kind of)
Yes, it’s that time of year again as we creep ever closer to the Spooky Season! And like most other years (barring 2019), there will be a Newforge Studios Halloween film. We shot on location at the Walkhampton Inn last sunday which, whilst a great location, brought a raft of other challenges. Working between guests…

I Fix Things
Or at least I’d like to… Half a week in Southampton and a failed platelet donation later, and I’m left with little energy to write. Time for a throw back list! I was heartened to read a recent comment that someone had fixed their sewing machine off the back of a post I wrote a…
