On the Road Again
The beginning of the Irish chronicle. Our epic journey started in Plymouth with an easy two hour drive to Bristol airport one sunny Saturday afternoon. An easy drive hasn’t been guaranteed the last couple of months due to the Curse of the Acoustic Foam! No, it’s not a campy B-movie, but instead an attempt by…

Gardening and a (It’ll be) Grand Tour
I’m still plugging away at Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty (excellent DLC, by the way). Here’s what I’ve been up to otherwise. Garden Update The raised beds are showing various degrees of success.

FDZ (Food, Drinks, and Zombies*)

Christmas has always gone hand in hand with gaming in my experience, and this year will be no different. Metal Gear Acid Trip I have played a lot of Metal Gear in my life. Hideo Kojima’s masterfully created series has been with me at every step of my gaming journey. We played Metal Gear Solid…

Gearing up for Christmas (a very PS5-y post)
Twas the week before Christmas, when all through the town, every single person was shopping, even the grouse. I love Christmas. I do not love crowds. It’s pretty hard to avoid the masses this time of year when town is packed from the end of November through Christmas Eve. It’s part of the reason I…
