Summer Gaming, and Travel
As my fingers glide over the keys of my IBM Model M keyboard, producing that oh-so familiar clack-clack thanks to the buckling spring, I can’t help but feel at home with my humble writing setup.

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.

Off to Edinburgh
Apparently more traveling is on the agenda, as I’m heading to Edinburgh a couple of days after getting back! Next week I’m going to crash out completely and do nothing, bar play LoL…Speaking of which, I’ve been really getting into it. It took a bit of getting used to but my last few matches have…

The last day
Things have been crazy here and I haven’t been able to post up anything about the last day of gamescom. I got back from Germany on Monday night, then was at Tennent’s Vital all day yesterday so this is the first time I’ve had to write. And I’m heading to Edinburgh tomorrow! Things really are…
