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…

Kept you waiting, huh?
Exams are over and the Ordinary Decent Gamer is back in business. And what do you do to celebrate the end of a terrible month? You make pasta! Wait, no. That comes later. First, you leave the country as soon as you can and go as far away as you can afford to at that…
