Post Christmas Dissection
Clearing away the Christmas debris, I’m back at my desk for another festive post. Also there will be pictures of turkey preparation in this post, so if you’re bothered by that sort of thing then this may be one to miss. Christmas Day has come and gone, and I’m still getting over the post-dinner coma.…

It’s Christmas Eve for Certain
Another year, another furious week of shopping, cooking, baking, saucing and wrapping. Is this supposed to be relaxing? It has begun… Yes, in the words of the immortal Fozziwig (from the Muppet Christmas Carol fame), it’s Christmas Eve for certain. The food shopping is over and the real preparations have just begun. My enduring memory…

The Radiant Tim Minchin, and other things
November has been quite a month. Being physically present at a friend’s gig was quite an experience a few weeks back (Ocean City Groove), and to round off the month we saw Tim Minchin perform at Plymouth Pavilions. He is an excellent musician and quite the inspirational figure with a truly unique brand of musical…

The Gourdening – Another Year, Another Halloween Movie
If you’ve been following Ordinary Decent Gamer or Newforge Studios for a few years, you’ll be familiar with our annual release schedule. Every year (barring the time of a stressful house move) we make at least one Halloween film. These are usually light-hearted comedy horror movies, anywhere from two to six minutes in length, and…

Resident Evil
Relationships go through many stages. Some can be measured in days, months, years spent in each others company. Others by the countries travelled, or children raised. Mine, by the games played, and in some cases suffered through, together. In the early days, there was Resident Evil 4. Unfamiliar and exciting, but never punishing. Then there…

I’m a Lumberjack (And I’m okay…mostly)
The time-vampire effort-vortex, otherwise known as the garden, was at it again. I was chipping away at what appeared to be a low stone wall, but in actual fact was closer to the great wall of china. I managed to organise the cordon fruit trees and plant out the raised beds, but much of the…

Spring has Sprung (It’s a write-off)
This has been a long time in draft. When I’m not cooking, cleaning or playing with Evie, I’ve spent the time tidying the garden which is slowly coming back to life. Yeah, I’m going to need my money back. The weather this year has been atrocious. Google mercilessly taunts me with pictures of a bountiful…

Cordon Vert? (See what I did there?)
My first MagicMirror is practically complete, though I’ve had a few hiccups along the way. This post is going to concentrate on what’s happening around the garden, and I’ll be back with another mirror update soon. Cordon Vert? The goal: make the garden as productive as possible by cramming in fruit trees to every possible…

Magic Mirror on the Wall…
…what’s the weather like in Plymouth? Gaming I had a glorious week off work to cram in lots of fun. We finished the Claire playthrough of Resident Evil 2 (much faster now that there wasn’t a year long hiatus), and even resurrected Oblivion. As much as I loved the fourth iteration of the Elder Scrolls,…

Life on the Shelf
I have been trying to sit down and write about Christmas, but it just isn’t happening. A tiny 4 kg black hole has opened in our lives which absorbs all time, energy, and effort. Not only that, but another lockdown has arrived limiting the amount of exciting things we could do. Enough waffling, let’s get…
