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 […]

The MST3K Special
Where have you been my whole life? That was the predominant thought in my mind when I stumbled across the Netflix reboot of Mystery Science Theatre 3000 (MST3K to its many fans). This was a series that ran for over ten years from 1988 to 1999 and pioneered the practice of riffing over bad films […]

Dreadful Disney Games – ODG on YouTube
I didn’t think it was possible so soon after the first, but through the power of procrastination, I have finished the second Ordinary Decent Gamer video on YouTube. This one is called Dreadful Disney Games, and is the first part on a series covering some of the Disney property that should be relegated to the […]

Altnageezy (*Nialism*)
EDIT: Just to clarify, *nialism* is referring to a word coined by Niall, one of my fellow medical students. I can spell relatively well, but in this case I’m fabricating words. Life is full of choices. Some of those choices lead us down paths filled with wonder and adventure, and some of those lead us […]

Into the Woods and Batman
We ventured Into the Woods and saw the titular film last week, and those woods may just be the same woods from the Evil Dead. They’re every bit as disturbing as the woods in the Evil Dead. What initially appeared to be a children’s film quickly unravelled into something darker with more mature themes than […]

First the morgue…then the zoo
This is getting bad. I was writing this post to address my problem with procrastination when it comes to the subject of writing, but I have successfully put it off for another week. I’ll try this again – see below for what I wanted to say last week: I should be writing non-stop over summer, […]

Sad Times and Halloween
Last week was completely hectic. I’ve spent most of this week winding down after it, and sorting out things I didn’t manage to get done. My grandmother passed away on the 27th of October, and it just so happened that some of my relatives were coming over to visit for Halloween on the Wednesday of […]

Movie Trips and Clinics – Writing Challenge Day Four
Kick-Ass 2 As you may have gathered, I enjoy using the phrase ‘as you may have gathered’. But nevertheless, as you may have gathered, I’m a Kick-Ass fan. Tonight was the QUB Sci-Fi and Fantasy cinema trip to see Kick-Ass 2. I really enjoyed the first film as it was a fresh take on the […]

Half way there
Welcome back again, for a long overdue post. And what a day it has been! Who knew Northern Irish weather could be quite this good. By this stage, I will have probably been out cutting grass and kayaking on the river – all of the usual fair weather activities. Another exam down too, and now […]

Puzzling the oddities of blogging
No matter how many different directions I take this blog in, it never changes the most popular topic. Back in September 2011, I set off on an epic quest. The quest was to take me through the darkest passages of the world wide web, and round the world (in my mind), only to curve back […]
