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. One bed is being slowly replaced by potatoes, and has a good crop of lettuce and radishes. A few of the beetroot and…

FDZ (Food, Drinks, and Zombies*)

What better way to celebrate the season than with a horror film! Hokum stars Adam Scott as a self-loathing asshole of a…

This has been one of my favourite games of recent times, and I’m not generally into Final Fantasy-style turn-based combat. That is a testament to just how compelling the…

New Year, New(ish) Games
You died. Now get back up and get going. Death is only the beginning…of another run. Returnal Maybe I had my fill of Souls-like games in 2021, but Returnal completely passed me by. I was vaguely aware of it from Triple Click, a gaming podcast I listen to, but really only the degree of difficulty…

On the n’th day of Christmas (Happy New Year)
Which day is it? Depends on who you ask… Yes, we have just passed Twixmas and entered 2026. This is a particularly weird time of the year. There is so much build up and excitement leading to Christmas day that the slump following it is almost unavoidable. It is a time for sitting around the…
