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…

  • Shiba Tofuya Ukai

    TL:DR I had a fantastic meal with the vascular surgery team in one of the most famous restaurants in Japan, so read on for more delicious details. Things are a little less hectic here in Nagoya. The pace of life is slower than Tokyo, but it has given me a bit of a breather, and…

  • Nagoya Nights (And days, mostly)

    I’m fast settling in to Nagoya, though I don’t have long to explore this interesting city. This weekend I will attempt (probably in vain) to cram as much sightseeing in as possible. I have already been to the area around Nagoya station, but there is plenty more to do. Nagoya isn’t a big destination for…
