Welcome to my first little-big project! Yay! Hope you found the place OK. I’ve taken steps to rustle up this tangent-ridden collection, which I have deemed an acceptable array. Anyone who stumbles upon this hidden junk cave might feel that it needs a tip or two to spruce up – if this is the case, and… Read More Welcome
It’s definitely been a while, but when a massive hiccough blows you off track, things tend to slip a little. I’m still reading, but writing about it is not coming as quickly as it did before, since I now have a job to think about. In China. Teaching Kindergarten. As you can imagine, going from hopelessly… Read More Update
Alone on Earth following the release of a deadly cloud of cyanide, you find everyone you ever knew or loved gone. Everywhere you look lie cadavers; victims of a poisonous cloud wasting away in the poses they died in. A grim notion by anyone’s standards – thank god it’ll never happen. Right? Serving as the… Read More The Purple Cloud
As much as I’m racing ahead with reading – already being halfway through The Purple Cloud, March’s choice – I seem to be falling behind with actually posting about it. Not to worry though; a game of catch-up will soon be in order! Everybody loves a good zombie movie. Our unnatural adoration for the undead… Read More I Am Legend
Ever think that, all our New Year’s Resolutions seem to contain, are orders to lose some things and deprive ourselves of others? It certainly made for a disappointing January, after the let-loose attitude so often associated with December. Around that time, anything can be justified by the single most popular phrase of the season; “It’s Christmas.” But back… Read More Do Llama’s Fall in Love?
Firstly, I hope everyone had a good Christmas, and that we are not all currently suffering from eggnog poisoning! After a previous entry on the DLCs for Dragon Age: Inquisition, I did intend to post another one just before the 25th, regarding some very strong impressions on the subject – mainly frustration, betrayal and a seething… Read More Happy New Year!
Warning: Contains very minor spoilers. It’s happening again. Since picking up Dragon Age: Origins some years ago, and putting it down again a few weeks later (“Fine. Right. Let’s get started”), Inquisition was on my to-do list for a while before it came out in 2014. It was one of three games I managed… Read More Dragon Age: My Never-Ending Story
J. ‘Girlfriend wants to break up; she says I play too many games. Well that’s nothing to Fallout four.’ The above pun was made entirely by a friend the other day; I had no part in it! 🙂 There’s a feeling, nothing short of a tingle when you’re holding a shiny new game in… Read More Crawl out through the Fallout (No.4)
I’m going to guess, that those of you not still feeling the after effects of too many jager bombs, are suffering from a combination of weekday grumps and post-party Halloween blues, inevitably left behind after one of my favourite holidays of the year. So here is a little something to cheer you up. As promised, C and… Read More Happy Belated Halloween!
So, here is the first post detailing a fraction of my gaming addiction, and all things considered, I’m quite proud of it. Enjoy. 🙂 – CW – Spoilers to follow – Many Gamers who have played Dishonored, liked it so much that they bought the DLCs, will already know some of what I am just… Read More Dishonorable Addiction
So, I guess I just wanted to show off a little – writing isn’t my only creative outlet, after all! I am proud to say it runs in the family; “Special Sibling” painted my header image, as a favor, actually to design a tattoo idea for C. Safe to say, she got carried away, but… Read More Gallery
