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

  • Isle Trotting

    This be a holding post…be ye warned Waterford I popped across the Irish Sea to do some work in Waterford last weekend. The flight was delayed and we ended up being the airport stragglers, left stranded almost an hour after the rest of the occupants had vacated. It isn’t the most comfortable place to be…

  • Madeira (Escaping the Rain)

    Trying to cope with the British weather? Why bother. Just leave already. That was our approach over half term. Why stick it out when you can leave for sunnier climes. I believe the upper classes refer to it as “over-wintering”, but five days away hardly a season makes. Geography lesson. You may think that Madeira…

  • Once More with Gusto (and Games)

    This is the usual pivot-post. Ease you in with some games, teach you how to bake, and finish up with some light food criticism. Bon appétit It (still) Takes Two? Yes, we are still playing It Takes Two. It also takes enough time that we’ve got plenty more to play. I have been slightly side-tracked…

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.

  • The Belfast Comic Con – Second Time’s a Charm

    Comic Con came round faster than I expected. It was a month early, but still, it caught me off guard. I wasn’t very enthusiastic about the event this year, after a rather lacklustre experience last year, but I finally gave in and bought a priority ticket for £12. Not a bad price for a day of…

  • Making of the “Making Of”

    It’s that time of year again – the Belfast Comic Con. Except that it isn’t. It’s a month earlier this year, and I’ve talked myself into going again. I will try to remain positive, but there is no guarantee on how long that will last. I briefly considered applying for a press pass, but given…

  • Adventures in Text and Wind-Up Birds

    Interstellar Text Adventure What’s this? Am I about to talk about a real life game for a change? And not just any game, may I add. This is a classic text adventure based on last year’s Kip Thorne and Chris Nolan epic, Interstellar. For those who missed it, the plot of Interstellar involved a future…
