Sorry, this isn’t a post about Star Wars. No Darth Vader for the time being. Although there might be some Star Wars coming soon (sort of). So for the last few weeks I’ve been pottering about with games (I’ll come back in a few days to write a post about my main game) but at the moment I’ve been back to what appears to have become a bit of a classic. Destiny My colleague and some time *Inbetweeners voice* online gamer friend, Phil, finally cracked and bought a PS4. Brilliant.

Its 8.00am and I’m on a bus. Yes, a bus. It’s half full of students from Winifred Holtby, and will soon be full (after a pickup at Kelvin Hall School). We are off on a trip to Sheffield for the Excelsior Awards, a national comic book award for young people. The kids get to vote from a shortlist and today we find out the winner. It’s been a year already since my last post about the award, and again I’m blogging it. This time however, I’m using the time on the bus to make sure

Yes, first of all I know that this isn’t a post about what I have been playing, but it’s more of a post about what I have been playing with. (For the record I’ve been playing bloodborne, obviously) For an update on my bloodborne progress, check out this little thing that @philcooper made (with some ‘help’ from me – “can we make it do…?”). He calls it play/ing/ed and you can see what the two of us are up to here. Any way… I finally treated myself with the birthday money I got

Hello again..It seems like I open each blog post recently by apologising for not having posted for a while.. So… I have made a decision. Rather than coming up with a specific subject for a post and writing it as and when, my plan is to write *something* every week. Whether it is about the game I am playing, TV I’ve been watching, what I am reading, or what I’ve been up to. I will still do specific posts about subjects that deserve them, but there will hopefully be more update

I am currently playing Bloodborne (not even close being able to post about it yet though) and was talking in the office with Phil (@philcooper) the other day about it and Dark Souls/Demon Souls that he is sort of playing. The discussion about difficulty in games and how you feel that sense of success when you beat or boss, or get past that bit you have been stuck on… The conversation turned to how you feel like you suck at one of these games until something happens and you fe

Rocket girl Image comics have served up a slice of classic story here.to give you an idea of the work that Brandon Montclare (writer) and Amy Reeder (artist) have created I need only copy the text from the first page… This kind of attitude resonates throughout the story. It’s well thought out, which it has to be because at its heart it’s a time-travel story… Volume 1 opens in the present, 1986. I know, it’s already confusing. A group of scientists have created an amazing new

In the run up to Christmas I treated myself to a bundle from Square-Enix, it was £20 for 6 games, and you didn’t know what games you would get until a specific date. It was a risk, but I figured it was a cheap way to bump up my Steam list and get a few games for my PC in the process. I wasn’t expecting a lot of new games (plus my PC was bought to output to the TV as a media machine…allowing me to watch American Netflix and Sky Go) but I got a few interesting choices… Deus Ex

It’s that time of year again… We’ve reached March and I’ve almost finished another Assassin’s Creed game. This time out it’s the first proper outing for the PS4 (I don’t count Black Flag because it was on both PS3 and 4). So… Here we go… We are in revolutionary Paris this time out and its the turn of the 18th century. The setting is amazing, the graphics as good as ever, but what really wows, is the number of NPCs this game has populating the city. It’s madness, there are oft

Hi… It’s taken a while, but thanks to @philcooper nagging me, I’ve finally got around to updating the blog, and I’ve taken the opportunity to do a little refresh at the same time. I’ve swapped out the old theme and changed to this one, which scales much nicer on mobile devices. Not that I’m blaming her, but I also have a girlfriend now and because she lives away spend rather a lot of time emailing/texting/messaging her, as a result my gaming/reading/watching has fallen behind
