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…

The Japanese Toilet (Toire)
No, stop thinking in French! It’s pronounced “toy-ray”, an informal way of saying toilet in Japan, and is quite the phenomenon. Starting in the 1980s, the automatic bidet toilet seat was invented and rapidly gained popularity. Travel to Japan (outside of pandemic times) and you’ll find a high-tech toilet in most homes and hotels. These…

A New Normal
Full disclosure: I’ve chucked in a few affiliate links for Amazon for things that I’ve bought over the last few weeks. If you so choose to click through, I may earn a small amount from the sale, but in no way feel like you have to. It’s just something I’m experimenting with to cover WordPress…

Storms and Shenmue
Another lockdown update, as the country slowly re-opens and establishes a new “normal”. More baking, gaming and DIY. The weather hasn’t been encouraging for gardening. Shenmue 3 I ended the last post on a pessimistic note about Shenmue 3. It felt dated, clumsy, graphically disappointing and carried on the tradition of abysmal voice acting. It’s…
