It’s that time of year again! This year has seen much awesomeness pretty much across the board, so without further ado I shall leap right in there. Books Well, I kinda lagged behind a little this year and never made my target. So far, my read list is sitting at 45 books, a little under

So, sitting here while Hurricane Bawbag howls around Dow Folly. The power keeps dropping out and, as I’ve had to work from home due to the extreme weather warning, I’m thankful, for once, that I have an ipad. So, with the house shaking all round me, what better time to post a quick update on

So, it’s been a while since I got my teeth into a lengthy RPG on the DS – largely because I haven’t actually owned a DS for a couple of years. My recent acquisition, however, of a shiny new blue 3DS means that I have a huge backlog of JRPGs to catch up on. It

It’s not very often that I get obsessive about a game – usually about once in a generation.

Normally the curries I make tend to be closer to actual Indian food than the type of things you buy in a British Indian restaurant, but it’s nice to have a change sometimes. This is a pretty straightforward but very yummy Korma recipe. First off, make a curry paste (sort of) by mixing together two

I think, on the whole, August was a rather awesome and epic month. For one thing, it saw Careless Talk finally unleashed upon the world. Writing it was a bit of a roller coaster – it was started during one of the darkest periods in my life and then had to sit, half written, for

Well, that’s the forest temple done now – Ghost Ganon is a fun boss, I reckon – and one of the easier ones. Now it’s back to the Temple of Time to see what I’m up to next.

I’m all growed up now! I finally finished trawling through Jabu Jabu’s Belly after getting myself totally confused because I had it in my mind it was different. The miniboss gave me some trouble too as I have a tendency to lean to the side when I’m running in a circle and this, of course,
