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…

It has been start-stop. Showers followed by sunny intervals, but often of unpredictable lengths. It has made outdoor activities next to impossible to plan. There’s…

  • Death Stranding (2) and Dead Hard Drives

    Even more strandier? Even more beachier? The expansion of the chiral network brought a whole load of quality of life improvements. Death Stranding 2: First Impressions I’ll admit I dismissed Death Stranding unfairly the first time I played it. After a few awkward and uncomfortable journeys heaped on an incomprehensible plot, I drifted away from…

  • The Curse of Heathers

    Heather, Heather, Heather….and some curse This is a bit left field, but one of our latest obsessions is the 1988 black comedy high school crime flick and the subsequent 2010s musical iteration. The musical is by far the superior version with some incredibly catchy songs, but the film throws up an interesting series of occurences.…
