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

  • PB and J (Plymouth Brunch and Janners?)

    Cocktail history and etymology. What’s not to like? RE9 Update After a terrifying start, we’re in the midst of a Leon-centric segment in Resident Evil Requiem. It’s a great game and not one we want to rush to completion. We’ve also had a smattering of Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty which has been a lot of…

  • A Few Good Days

    Travelling, food, and other bits and pieces. We spent a week of the Easter holidays travelling the South coast of England, spending some time around Windsor (Legoland), Canterbury, and Rustington. It was a lot of driving, but with the Polestar 2 it didn’t feel like it. The only bits that were a little hairy were…

  • Cyberpunk, Tomb Raider and a Tipple

    While RE9 continues to scare the living daylights out of me, I thought I’d pivot to something lighter. I returned to Cyberpunk 2077 for the first time in a few months and still find it a fascinating game. It’s more playable on the PS5 than my original attempt on the PS4, and part of the…

  • The Gran Fondo – Nope, not another Tim Schafer Game

    Way back in at the end of March, what feels like an eternity ago, we signed up for the Gran Fondo. Gran Fondo is an italian term for a bike event at least 75 miles long and individually chip timed. There’s a competitive element, but they’re not strictly speaking races – rather, sportives. For the…

  • The MST3K Special

    Where have you been my whole life? That was the predominant thought in my mind when I stumbled across the Netflix reboot of Mystery Science Theatre 3000 (MST3K to its many fans). This was a series that ran for over ten years from 1988 to 1999 and pioneered the practice of riffing over bad films…
