Walls, Fletchers, and Games
The Wall Building will Continue until Morale Improves Yes, I have brutalised myself, but all in the name of progress. The wall has come together quite quickly. Is it perfect? Far from it, but it hasn’t fallen down yet and doesn’t look horrendous. It is a long overdue project as I hated the old pseudo-brick…

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…

Death Stranding 2: First Impressions I’ll admit I dismissed Death Stranding unfairly the first time I played it. After a few awkward and uncomfortable journeys heaped on an incomprehensible plot, I drifted away from…

The Curse of Heathers
Heather, Heather, Heather….and some curse This is a bit left field, but one of our latest obsessions is the 1988 black comedy high school crime flick and the subsequent 2010s musical iteration. The musical is by far the superior version with some incredibly catchy songs, but the film throws up an interesting series of occurences.…

Déja vu – The Room Where it Happened (Twice)
You’ve kept me in the room where it happened…for the last time Death Stranding (again) I finally finished Death Stranding and it did not disappoint. There were a few false credit sequences and post-credits experiences that were incredibly Kojima-esque. There were a few incredible story reveals at the very last moment. Rest assured, Death Stranding…
