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…

As much as I loved the fourth iteration of the Elder Scrolls,…

Not only that, but another lockdown has arrived limiting the amount of exciting things we could do. Enough waffling, let’s get…

  • Babies and Babka

    First off, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! I haven’t had a chance to write in a little while as I’ve been a tad preoccupied with other things. We’ve just been joined by a tiny squatter who is taking up all of our time and hogging the PlayStation, but she is quite cute. Charged…

  • Feeling Halloween-y? Filmmaking and more

    After an atrocious start to the spooky festivities with Hubie Halloween (why, Adam?!) we had a rather smashing time. No pumpkins were harmed (unfortunately), but plenty of fun was had. Everything kicked off with production of the 2020 Newforge Studios Halloween film, “Horsham Horror”, starring Sarah and myself. Horsham Horror – The Making Of Most…
