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…

You probably realise by now that I’m a big advocate of both active travel and public transport. Getting cars off the road makes things better for…

Jurassic in the Park, and Jury-Rigging Monitors
We had an ambitious plan for the late May bank holiday. To keep a three year old up to midnight watching Jurassic Park in an open air screening at the Eden Project. Madness, you might say. You’d be right…mostly. Jurassic in the Park? The evening started with a two course dinner in the Mediterranean biome.…

Resident Evil, and Resident Chef
Back to Ordinary Decent Gaming roots. As you may have figured out by now, Ordinary Decent Gamer isn’t always about gaming. In fact, it might feature less than almost every other topic. Food seems to sneak in more often than not. Drinks. Even electric cars. Life seems to get in the way of sitting down…
