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…

  • Two’s Company (When you’re building a shed)

    Are you tired of lifting heavy e-bikes out of your house every day and wheeling them round the house? Wish they were taking up less room? Think Asgard! Nope, not quite the home of Odin but still formidable… We’ve been annoyed by moving bikes around our conservatory for the last couple of years. With the…

  • Driving Miss Evie (Asia 2023 Part 2)

    It has been an exhausting transition back from holiday mode to work. It hasn’t been helped by the eight hour time difference and illness brewing in the background. I’m picking up from where I left off last time. We’re in a rental car office in Naha, Okinawa on a beautifully sunny day… After a couple…
