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

Split Slate and Fiction
A little bit of gaming, and a little bit of DIY. The dry stone walling workshop at Quince Honey Farm was fun, and though the stones were heavy, the detail was light. The most important messages I took away were to just give it a try. And backfill. Lots of backfill. In this context it’s…

Reading on a Deadline
Because what better way is there to relax than a threat of impending confiscation… The Library No, I’m not talking about your Steam Library. Or your PlayStation catalogue. We are discussing brick-and-mortar (and sometimes chassis in the case of vans) libraries. I have an on-again, off-again relationship with the library system. It was a convenient…

Travels and (Almost) Total Solar Eclipse
There are plenty of reasons to holiday in the Catalan capital. Sangria. Tapas. Gaudi. Xocolate. Our summer holiday was a re-do of last years washed out trip to Barcelona.

An Apple a day, keeps the Genius in pay
The (much too) common cold Illness, even minor, can be a real headache. And sometimes, just sometimes, that illness encompasses headache, too. It couldn’t have come at a better time, as I’m preparing to shoot a wedding at the weekend. As usual, I’m determined to beat it into submission. Combing through the medical literature in…

Fallout and the Lost Game
I started the Ordinary Decent Gamer YouTube channel shortly after Christmas. I wanted to get into making game-related videos for some time, but I managed to pick one of the worst times possible. Sure I had some spare time, and the material to work with, but it was in the lead up to my finals…
