Projects (in Process)
It’s amazing how much stuff around the house you can block out. Little projects here and there that you’ll get round to eventually, but never do. I’m setting out to change that mentality and get the fiddly things done once and for all. First things first, I’m on the… Chopping Block I have been using…

Do Android Sheep Dream of Electric Cars?
This one is a little delayed, but it hasn’t exactly been a normal week. What possessed me to try and do a long journey in an electric car, you might ask? Perhaps I just needed a distraction. You can’t ask a gadget fan if they’d rather have a Polestar 2 or a Vauxhall Astra. It’s…

Arid January
Adding a desert vibe makes it seem a little more exotic. In an effort to give our livers a break, we’ve joined the Dry January bandwagon. Well, we haven’t entirely joined. It’s a mostly dry month, but we’re attending a Burns Night celebration on the 26th of January so there will necessarily be a little…

Island Hopping (Asia 2023 Part 4)
It has been a while, but it’s time to get back to Japan. The car opened up a lot of opportunities for exploration of the main island of Okinawa, but there was no need for motorised transport on the smallest islands we visited. Ferrying out to Aka island on a high speed boat was a…

2024, Don’t be a Bore?
That was a struggle, but titles don’t always come easy. Here’s a little retrospective of the last year. It has been a slightly exhausting start to the year, but one filled with more gaming than the last few months combined. In preparation for this post I had a look back through my archive and found…

Twas the Thursday after Christmas – Gluttony and Gaming
We’re firmly in that weird period between Christmas and New Year’s where the desire to sit around and do nothing is pitted against a restless energy to get out and explore. You’ll be pleased to hear that doing nothing won out. Well, not nothing. Sitting around and playing the PS5 while in a food-induced stupor…

Christmas Eve (the Prequel) – Preparation
Christmas Eve is here once again. It hardly feels like a year has passed, yet on reflection a lot has happened. For now, we’re staying firmly in the present on the lead up to the feast. Every year I go all out for the big day. It’s a great excuse to try things you’ve never…

Metal Gearing Up for Christmas (Ordinary Retro Gamer)
Christmas has always gone hand in hand with gaming in my experience, and this year will be no different. Metal Gear Acid Trip I have played a lot of Metal Gear in my life. Hideo Kojima’s masterfully created series has been with me at every step of my gaming journey. We played Metal Gear Solid…

Gearing up for Christmas (a very PS5-y post)
Twas the week before Christmas, when all through the town, every single person was shopping, even the grouse. I love Christmas. I do not love crowds. It’s pretty hard to avoid the masses this time of year when town is packed from the end of November through Christmas Eve. It’s part of the reason I…

Thoughts on a Train
A service of light humour will be available in this post. It’s apt to be more reliable than the train… I am feeling inspired. Inspired enough to kill some time on the journey back from London to Plymouth. Three and a half hours is nothing to sniff at and one needs distractions while travelling in…
