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…

I love all of the preparation in the days leading up to the main event. The menu planning, shopping, sauce production, brine…

  • Twas the Night before Christmas MMXV

    Yes, I can’t believe it’s that time already. This is a brief update before the madness of tomorrow kicks off. Christmas is upon us, and I haven’t been keeping up with blogging. The last few days have been filled with intense cleaning, cooking, and attempting to get rid of old furniture. There has been some…

  • The Second Day of Ramen-mas

    Friday night was ramen and retro gaming night, as you might be able to tell from the place setting and the SNES controllers. The tenugui I brought back from Tokyo, a Traditional Japanese dyed piece of cotton, became the focus of the place setting. The ceramic spoons were Chinese, but then again, so were the noodles!…
