Walls, Fletchers, and Games
The Wall Building will Continue until Morale Improves Yes, I have brutalised myself, but all in the name of progress. The wall has come together quite quickly. Is it perfect? Far from it, but it hasn’t fallen down yet and doesn’t look horrendous. It is a long overdue project as I hated the old pseudo-brick…

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.

On the Edit
Shelving the Desktop? Due to an “internal technical issue”, my Alienware desktop order was cancelled. 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…
