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

  • On the Road Again

    The beginning of the Irish chronicle. Our epic journey started in Plymouth with an easy two hour drive to Bristol airport one sunny Saturday afternoon. An easy drive hasn’t been guaranteed the last couple of months due to the Curse of the Acoustic Foam! No, it’s not a campy B-movie, but instead an attempt by…

  • Gardening and a (It’ll be) Grand Tour

    I’m still plugging away at Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty (excellent DLC, by the way). Here’s what I’ve been up to otherwise. Garden Update The raised beds are showing various degrees of success. One bed is being slowly replaced by potatoes, and has a good crop of lettuce and radishes. A few of the beetroot and…

  • FDZ (Food, Drinks, and Zombies*)

    *The undead monster, not the drink. Hokum May is traditionally known as the most terrifying of months. Tempting us with near 20 degree heat, followed by a drop in temperature and torrential rain. What better way to celebrate the season than with a horror film! Hokum stars Adam Scott as a self-loathing asshole of a…

Life is full of choices. Some of those choices lead us down paths filled with wonder and adventure, and some of those lead us…

  • Into the Woods and Batman

    We ventured Into the Woods and saw the titular film last week, and those woods may just be the same woods from the Evil Dead. They’re every bit as disturbing as the woods in the Evil Dead. What initially appeared to be a children’s film quickly unravelled into something darker with more mature themes than…

  • Renewed Respect for General Practice

    Bear with me – this is more medically related than anything else I have written so far, but I believe it should be said. My time in General Practice is over. Like many people who start studying medicine, I had no inclination of ever becoming a GP. My exposure to doctors was limited to getting…
