Under Pressure
Polestar 2 tyre challenges My understanding of cars is pretty limited. I have done bits and pieces with electrics before including fitting stereo and reversing camera on my Skoda Fabia, but problem solving is normally best left to someone else in my experience. It’s not that I can’t do it, but it’s another thing to…

Cooking with Clair (Obscur Reference)
Or should that be “esoteric” reference. I’ll let you be the judge. After a raft of insane battles, we have reached the epilogue of Clair Obscur. 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…

Déja vu – The Room Where it Happened (Twice)
You’ve kept me in the room where it happened…for the last time Death Stranding (again) I finally finished Death Stranding and it did not disappoint. There were a few false credit sequences and post-credits experiences that were incredibly Kojima-esque. There were a few incredible story reveals at the very last moment. Rest assured, Death Stranding

Death Stranding (the First One)
Just in time for the sequel. I’m nothing if not timely. I don’t get Death Stranding. Or so I would’ve told you after I first played this masterpiece a few years back. I didn’t get the appeal of trekking across bleak expanses of post-apocalytic wasteland. I didn’t get the incessant inventory management. I didn’t get

The Arts (Cinema, Theatre, Gardening, Cars…)
Hamilton Fever No, it’s not typhoid. It’s time for another dose, or rather a double dose, of the Alexander Hamilton story. Given it’s massive profile, it’s hard to imagine not having heard of Lin-Manuel Miranda’s global musical phenomenon.
