This year has been a year of staying in - whether by choice or enforced - and playing games. Though there have been many new games this year, I've mainly been playing older ones, catching up on some that have been on my to-play list for a long time.

An Author’s Holiday
As I've previously said, in May of this year I quit my job in IT, because I decided I just couldn't do it anymore and it was affecting my mental health...blah, blah, blah, but this blog isn't about that, it's about holidays. Now that I don't have a "real" job and I'm writing full time, … Continue reading An Author’s Holiday

I've mentioned before that I have Bipolar disorder. In the years since my diagnosis, I've come across several people that don't really know what it is or misunderstand it. In this blog, I'm going to try to explain it a little so bear with me as things may get a tad technical/medical. What is Bipolar, … Continue reading Bipolar Disorder: What Is It Really?
December PSNow – Stranded Deep (A Review)
A few months ago we decided that to stop us spending a fortune on new games, and to play things that we wouldn’t necessarily have bought, we’d get PSNow.

Getting Creative with Lego
I've always enjoyed Lego. As a kid, I had two huge boxes full of the stuff (I still have these). Many a time, I would tip the boxes out into a big pile on the floor, clear a space in the middle for me to park my butt and sit for hours making random things. … Continue reading Getting Creative with Lego
