Sky Blog Two
I would’ve written sooner, but thanks to China blocking communications over their airspace I haven’t been able to get online for most of the flight. I’ve been up for a long time now and fatigue is starting to settle in. The last flight took a strange turn when I ended up sitting beside an Irish…

Sky Blog One
Blogging in the Sky There’s a first time for everything. First steps. First video game console. First kiss. All the important milestones, and now, this is both my first time using WiFi in the air, and my first time blogging from the sky. The Linx tablet is perfect for this scenario, given its compact size…

The Land of the Rising Sun – Brought to you by ODGamer
Huzzah! The first leg of my journey is well under way. I’m sitting in Dublin airport departures enjoying their (surprisingly) free WiFi, and attempting to get to grips with my portable blogging setup. I’ve brought my Linx 7 tablet and the Belkin QODE case, and I can already feel repetitive strain setting in. This isn’t …

Freedom, Japan, and Cameras
Tuesday marked my last exam, and I have been free as a bird since then. My time over the last week has been spent packing away things in Belfast, buying and getting to grips with my camera, and preparing for Japan. I still haven’t fully come to terms with the fact I’m going to Japan…

Internet Withdrawal
I started writing in the absence of internet in my Belfast home, but I have been online over the weekend thankfully. A week is too long. If Evil from Time Bandits was around today, perhaps he would not sought to have an understanding of computers, but rather the internet. That is how he would remain…

I don’t let Sleeping Dogs lie…and the Elections
Shock horror, this blog post is late. And perhaps an even bigger shock, I am going to talk about some games. I have been playing the odd PC game after the release of the second act of Broken Age stirred my interest in gaming, though I am yet to play that title. It has been…

The Belfast Comic Con – Second Time’s a Charm
Comic Con came round faster than I expected. It was a month early, but still, it caught me off guard. I wasn’t very enthusiastic about the event this year, after a rather lacklustre experience last year, but I finally gave in and bought a priority ticket for £12. Not a bad price for a day of…

Making of the “Making Of”
It’s that time of year again – the Belfast Comic Con. Except that it isn’t. It’s a month earlier this year, and I’ve talked myself into going again. I will try to remain positive, but there is no guarantee on how long that will last. I briefly considered applying for a press pass, but given…

Adventures in Text and Wind-Up Birds
Interstellar Text Adventure What’s this? Am I about to talk about a real life game for a change? And not just any game, may I add. This is a classic text adventure based on last year’s Kip Thorne and Chris Nolan epic, Interstellar. For those who missed it, the plot of Interstellar involved a future…

The Reality of Business Part 2
Welcome back to the Nostalgia Hour, with your host, the Ordinary Decent Gamer. I finished up the last entry at the first big hiatus in my ring making career. My degree had to take priority until it was finished up, but after that I was free to return to production. My eldest brother Keith was…
