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…

  • 2024, Don’t be a Bore?

    That was a struggle, but titles don’t always come easy. Here’s a little retrospective of the last year. It has been a slightly exhausting start to the year, but one filled with more gaming than the last few months combined. In preparation for this post I had a look back through my archive and found…

  • Twas the Thursday after Christmas – Gluttony and Gaming

    We’re firmly in that weird period between Christmas and New Year’s where the desire to sit around and do nothing is pitted against a restless energy to get out and explore. You’ll be pleased to hear that doing nothing won out. Well, not nothing. Sitting around and playing the PS5 while in a food-induced stupor…
