Wreckfest – Mediocre Destruction (A Review)
Wreckfest is a destruction racing game that was released back in 2014 and onto PSNow in December 2020. As soon as I saw this game, I was looking forward to it. When I was growing up I loved the Destruction Derby and Burnout games. Anything with the destruction of cars was a win for me. … Continue reading Wreckfest – Mediocre Destruction (A Review)
Lockdown Writing
I live in the UK, and we're currently in our...wait a minute, I know this...third lockdown, and we're experiencing all the fun that goes along with it. Lockdowns have been sh!t, to say the least.

Bipolar: The Manic Side
Before Christmas, I did an overview of Bipolar Disorder and what it means and what it causes. Being Bipolar/Manic Depressive means you not only have depressive episodes; but also manic ones. In my life, the depressive episodes have far outweighed the manic ones. But allow me to let you in on how some of my … Continue reading Bipolar: The Manic Side
Video Games and Keeping Fit
It's that time of year again where people say they're going to the gym. This year though they won't have to get the membership, go for two weeks, and then never go again.

I asked my fellow writers on Twitter what the first draft for … Continue reading Writing: To First Drafts and Beyond

*DISCLAIMER: THIS POST MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS AND SOLUTIONS TO PUZZLES* In my time off over Christmas, Alex and I thought it would be a good idea to try to get the platinum trophy on Vampyr for the PS4. In the end we eventually got it for both of us, and I thought the game would … Continue reading Vampyr: Not Just a Vampiric Killing Spree
The End of a Holiday
Last week I posted about taking a break from writing over Christmas. I was only supposed to be coming back to it tomorrow (Tuesday), but I've missed writing more than I ever thought I would, so I'm starting again today. When I worked my 9-5 – even though it wasn't really 9-5 – in IT, … Continue reading The End of a Holiday
Christmas
Merry Christmas ya filthy animals. Christmas is a tough time for people who are alone. It's even worse for those of us with mental health disorders. I'm not going to do a full cliche post on how it affects people because we all know it does. All I'm going to say is that if you … Continue reading Christmas
