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.

Having the office…

  • In Search of Seoul, Part 3 – The Outside

    Although we spent most of our time around Seoul and Seongnam, we did venture out and explore more of the countryside and mountains. Who knew there was anything to do outside of Seoul? The capital is where everyone wants to be, evidenced by the absurdly high population density and endless rows of imposing apartment blocks.…

  • In Search of Seoul, Part 2 – Westernisation

    The clock struck 4am, and I was out of bed. There was no way I was getting back to sleep; my body was still in another timezone. I got up, tidied the kitchen, baked a loaf of bread, and had breakfast. This was going to be a strange week. Yes, jet lag is a bitch.…

  • In Search of Seoul, Part 1 – BBQ

    Strictly speaking it’s Part 2, but I didn’t actually write much about Seoul proper in the travel post. We have crammed a lot into the last couple of weeks, and there has barely been a spare minute to write. We have eaten lots of food, explored lots of places, and met some interesting people along…
