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…

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.

We’ve only lived here a year and a half, but the amount of stuff…

The blog has been alive in some form or other since Gamescom in 2011, but making game-related videos was a recent foray. I have had an interest in filmmaking for a long time, dating back…

  • Merry (Belated) Christmas, and an even Happier New Year

    Christmas has come and gone for another year. Well, technically it concludes with the twelfth day of Christmas on the 5th of January, but for most the excitement is in the preparation and the big day itself. This was no ordinary Christmas for my family, as it was the first in many years without the…

  • The End of an Era (Sort of)

    Getting into writing mode has been difficult recently – sitting on the sofa with a laptop isn’t the most inspiring way of doing things. I’ve created a workspace for myself, sacrificing a significant proportion of the kitchen/livingroom in an attempt to mix things up. Out came my restored IBM Model M keyboard, and my voiceover…
