  The end of exams

  J’ai fini, mes amis Exams are over, and I am once again free! Free to sit and do nothing, and to enjoy my time off, though so far things have been busy enough. Sarah came back home with me for a few days, and we baked a coffee cake for mum’s birthday and father’s day,…

  Musings about technology, and other news

  Those of us who are of the technological persuasion find endless amusement provided by people who are less than gifted in the area. Things I hear regularly in my post as household IT consultant include, “The Xbox isn’t playing Blu-Rays”, despite buying a PS3 specifically for that reason. “How did I get my phone screen…

  Easter, Baking, and Western Fun

  Happy Easter! I have been on holiday a week now, and avoided work as much as possible. It hasn’t been intentional as I have a lot to do, but other things keep cropping up. It was my brother’s birthday on Wednesday, and another friend’s birthday yesterday, so it has been non-stop. Add to that baking,…

  Live, from my sofa

  Hello again, and sorry for the delay in posting. This is Ordinary Decent Gamer, and I am currently unwell. It has been a busy few weeks, and unfortunately yesterday I came down with a case of food poisoning, or if you’re of Royal heritage, gastroenteritis. At least I am off for the Easter holidays now.…

  The late post

  I’ve fallen behind slightly with my writing, or perhaps more than slightly. It has been a busy few weeks and I haven’t had the same free time, between filmmaking and filming events (event, in truth). I should also add that I have just passed 10,000 views! Gratuitous Violence The newest short film we produced last…

  Gaming – The Year in Review…sort of

  Welcome back to OrdinaryDecentGamer, where I seem to talk about everything but games most of the time. You may have noticed the new layout? And of course the subject correlates with the title, as I’m trying out this new theme for a change. I can’t believe how long this blog has been running now. It…

  Asbestos – the wonder material of the future, yesterday!

  “Gasp! The horror! Asbestos!”  they cry, as the ordinary decent folk look on in disbelief. “Surely asbestos is the worst thing since satan?”. Well, actually things are not as clear cut as they seem here, and we shouldn’t be so quick to dismiss the fibres as another one of humanity’s terrible mistakes; of which there…

  No room at the inn

  I sit here alone, in a spare room in the nurses home in Altnagelvin Area Hospital, contemplating what I did wrong to end up in this situation. As I suspected prior to my arrival, there was no room allocated for me, even though all students placed here are supposed to be given rooms without booking…

  Huh…Metal Gear?!

  I sit here with my family, in front of a roaring fire, in quiet contemplation, and enjoying having a night off from hosting guests. Since the eve of Christmas eve, we have had people over visiting, which entailed non-stop cooking, cleaning and entertaining. It is always nice to see everyone, but there comes a time…

  A game review?! Not really

  There was no real post last weekend, just a general commentary on life and death. I did not feel inspired to write anything interesting or whimsical, it just didn’t seem appropriate in my mind at that time. Another new week though, and life goes on. Another good week of ENT in Altnagelvin, though things were…
