If gaming isn’t a part of your life, you’re doing it wrong.

  • 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*)

    *The undead monster, not the drink. Hokum May is traditionally known as the most terrifying of months. Tempting us with near 20 degree heat, followed by a drop in temperature and torrential rain. What better way to celebrate the season than with a horror film! Hokum stars Adam Scott as a self-loathing asshole of a…

Ordinary Decent Gamer was born out of a desire to write about games, but it has become so much more. Food, travel, DIY and more.

  • Shibuya and Shabu Shabu – Part 4 – Japan 2019

    Part 4 in the Japan 2019 series. Part 3 is here. Like so many places in Japan, Shibuya crossing is unique. Two thousand five hundred pedestrians crossing with each signal change at rush hour. A crazed mass of people moving in every direction. It’s a tad overwhelming. Just pick a point and keep walking towards it. After…

  • Twokyo – Part 3 – Japan 2019

    Part 3 in the Japan 2019 series. Part 2 is here. I’ve been away at a conference and we’re in the midst of trying to buy a house, so I’m a bit busy, but it’s time to pick up where we left off. Calm down, it’s not what you’re thinking. We didn’t eat puppies, and…

  • Touring Tokyo – Part 2 – Japan 2019

    Part 2 in my Japan 2019 series. If you’ve missed the first part, you can catch up here. The excitement of making it to Tokyo was dampened by a lengthy immigration queue. This is one of few seemingly inefficient processes in Japan. It took a long time back in 2015, and four years later it…
