Ordinary Decent Gamer

Your daily overdose of gaming, and life in general

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

  • A New Dishwasher (and a few games along the way)

    We’re gearing up for Christmas, a process that is in no way enhanced by having to deal with a broken dishwasher. The problem with having a lot of stuff on is the lack of time to write about it. I have managed to squeeze in some games though. Neon White Part of the beauty of…

  • Cinema, Coffee, and (Haute) Cuisine

    What would Ordinary Decent Gamer be without food? Perhaps a gaming blog… Although ODG started life as Inside Gamescom in 2011, dedicated to the latest releases from the WiFi tent in the Gamescom campsite in Cologne (later almost washed away in a dramatic flood), it has morphed into a shudder “lifestyle” blog. In that it…

  • Baking and Caking

    When life gives you, or rather, doesn’t give you yeast, make sourdough. I have been on and off sourdough since encountering it in Von’s 1000Spirits in Seattle in 2012. I was relatively late to the party (compared to the Epgyptians in 1500 BCE), but in my defence, it wasn’t much of a thing in Northern…

  • Essays, and the Terminator

    3,297 words later, another essay bites the dust. This time I was writing about the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), covering what’s out there at the moment, and what’s in the pipeline. All I can say is, I’m glad it is over. My research project presentation is on Tuesday, and after that I get

  • Blackmagic, and other fantastical things…just kidding

    A break! It feels like it has been so long since I have had a proper holiday, one without anything to do, and this holiday is no different from others. There are many things to do and so little time to do them. And that isn’t including coursework. Essays, papers, presentations and more await me
