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…
Ordinary Decent Gamer was born out of a desire to write about games, but it has become so much more. Food, travel, DIY and more.

Yes, a new Christmas tradition, but not a particularly pleasant one. Perhaps it could be improved with the addition of mince pies and a glass of mulled wine? Even with that, a mismanaged pharmacy…

In Search of Seoul, Part 5 – Markets
This time we’re heading back to Old Seoul for a bit of culture. A place where haggling transcends language barriers. To Namdaemun Market! Namdaemun translates to “Great South Gate” (not Gareth Southgate, though you may be mistaken) and was the main southern gate to the old city of Seoul. Right next to the gate is…

Lofty Ideals (or Ideal Lofts?)
The “I finally got round to insulating the loft” edition. The previous owners of our house did a wonderful job making the downstairs look nice, but corners were cut elsewhere and basic jobs that should have been tackled early were ignored. Energy prices are officially insane, and having a weedy 100mm of compressed wool insulation…

In Search of Seoul, Part 4 – Café Culture
Cafés are everywhere in Seoul, so this time we’re talking about café culture in the capital. A Twosome Place It’s an excellent and preposterous name in equal measures, and a reference to “A cup of coffee, Two of us, Some dessert, Place”. I didn’t say it was a particularly good reference, but it certainly is…
