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. Surely it couldn’t rain the entire time in August? Thankfully this time we only got an hour or so over the duration of the holiday. X…

If Evil from Time Bandits was around today, perhaps he would not sought to have an understanding of computers, but rather the internet. That is how he would remain…

I don’t let Sleeping Dogs lie…and the Elections
Shock horror, this blog post is late. And perhaps an even bigger shock, I am going to talk about some games. I have been playing the odd PC game after the release of the second act of Broken Age stirred my interest in gaming, though I am yet to play that title. It has been…

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…
