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…

Dell have collected my damaged laptop and promised a replacement system in the next ten days or so, although what form that computer will take is anyone’s…

Fire! Fire! Help me!
The title says it all. A mid-to-late 2000s reference any Graham Linehan fan will be familiar with. On the long list of things we weren’t expecting on a normal Sunday, fire was towards the bottom, but there it was. A scary occurence, but I’m here with the story, after the lithium has settled. Prime Suspect…

Now That’s What I Call 2022
Here comes the obligatory year in review. What happened in 2022? Quite a lot really. Reporting from a hotel in Wolverhampton for my first in-person conference since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic. Writing on the Regular Last year, despite several major exams, I committed to releasing a blog post weekly part way into the…
