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…

All the important milestones, and now, this is both my first time using WiFi in the air, and my first time blogging from the sky. The Linx tablet is perfect for this scenario, given its compact size…

  • The Land of the Rising Sun – Brought to you by ODGamer

    Huzzah! The first leg of my journey is well under way. I’m sitting in Dublin airport departures enjoying their (surprisingly) free WiFi, and attempting to get to grips with my portable blogging setup. I’ve brought my Linx 7 tablet and the Belkin QODE case, and I can already feel repetitive strain setting in. This isn’t …

  • Freedom, Japan, and Cameras

    Tuesday marked my last exam, and I have been free as a bird since then. My time over the last week has been spent packing away things in Belfast, buying and getting to grips with my camera, and preparing for Japan. I still haven’t fully come to terms with the fact I’m going to Japan…
