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

  • Isle Trotting

    This be a holding post…be ye warned Waterford I popped across the Irish Sea to do some work in Waterford last weekend. The flight was delayed and we ended up being the airport stragglers, left stranded almost an hour after the rest of the occupants had vacated. It isn’t the most comfortable place to be…

  • Madeira (Escaping the Rain)

    Trying to cope with the British weather? Why bother. Just leave already. That was our approach over half term. Why stick it out when you can leave for sunnier climes. I believe the upper classes refer to it as “over-wintering”, but five days away hardly a season makes. Geography lesson. You may think that Madeira…

  • Once More with Gusto (and Games)

    This is the usual pivot-post. Ease you in with some games, teach you how to bake, and finish up with some light food criticism. Bon appétit It (still) Takes Two? Yes, we are still playing It Takes Two. It also takes enough time that we’ve got plenty more to play. I have been slightly side-tracked…

  • Adventure Time!

    Where do I even begin? This week has been action packed, with adventures stretching from Budapest to Donegal, though primarily Budapest. I spent three days in the city with Sarah earlier in the week, and they were some of the most touristy days I’ve ever had. We attempted to pack in almost every attraction you…

  • Comic-Con Con, and Games

    Something has happened. I believe it is known as “Summer”, but it is rarely present in these parts, so I am currently writing in the park to make the most of the situation. I haven’t gotten round to writing in a while, thanks to assignment deadlines and a general lack of motivation, but I shall…
