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…

Reflection to help me understand and appreciate the experiences I have had. Lately, most of my writing has been scientific in nature, constrained by logic and reason, forcing my creative side…

  • Interesting Games

    Games have taken a backseat to work at the moment, but I have stumbled across a few interesting titles I would like to get into. Octodad: Dadliest Catch What a peculiar game. Made originally by a group of students from DePaul university, you play a man who, unbeknownst to his wife and children, is a…

  • Eight till eight

    Sunday working was only the beginning of my long working week. Monday was a marathon of a day which had me busy from 8 am right through to 8 pm, and I spent the next day recovering. The good news is that I finally have data! Not that I’ve actually analysed it, but I’m happy…
