A game you wish more people would’ve played Probably something like Snatcher on the old Mega CD. Written and directed by Hideo Kojima (or Metal Gear Solid fame), it was a cyberpunk adventure with . . . → Read More: The 30 Day Gaming Challenge – Part 2

The 30 Day Gaming Challenge – Part 1

While reading Haly’s blog recently, I came across an interesting post, regarding the 30 Day Gaming Challenge. I didn’t see the initial challenge by Eddie Inzuato until Haly linked to it, but I really like the idea of it, and think that it may be a good way to get me back into blogging a . . . → Read More: The 30 Day Gaming Challenge – Part 1

Setting a challenge for 2011

I’ve been meaning to get something written here for ages, and every time I think about settling down to get something done, I always find myself getting distracted and forgetting about it.

The weekend of hell

I wasn’t initially going to make this post after the horrendous weekend Lynne and I had recently, but I think (hope!) it will be a bit cathartic to write it all down. I think I worried a few people on Twitter a couple of weeks ago as well, and I really appreciated the kind responses . . . → Read More: The weekend of hell

Well, it’s new in terms of it’s location anyway, finally with my own domain name and own hosting, thanks to the nice folks at Vidahost. I’ve been meaning to get my own hosting and domain for months, possibly even years, but for whatever reasons just never got around to it. Due to some work I’ve . . . → Read More: Welcome to the new website

Fixing the England problem

I imagine this will be one of thousands of blog posts around the country today regarding England’s exit from the World Cup yesterday. Perhaps surprisingly, I’m not all that bothered about us actually going out of the tournament, as I never expected us to even get close to winning it. There are just too many . . . → Read More: Fixing the England problem

Time to admit the obvious

Yup, I think it goes without saying that I’ve blatantly failed the 1 a day challenge, considering I’ve not posted anything for over a month now. I’m not quite sure how it got away from me so much, but it’s way too far now to consider trying again. The further behind I got, the harder . . . → Read More: Time to admit the obvious
