Dave rather ambushed me on Sunday night with a completed CSS overhaul of Potential Gamer, the results of which are quite self-evident. He did quite an astounding job, especially given he’s currently still working with the standard WordPress.com. I’m currently investigating whether to switch to WordPress.org and pay for proper Read more…
Just re-watched Hellboy for the first time since seeing it in the cinema. Much better than I remembered, and I liked it quite a bit the first time round. I just happened to have watched a superb documentary on HP Lovecraft the night before (which I’ll be reviewing for FXhome Read more…
Well now, isn’t this exciting? I’ve only gone and started up another blog. I mentioned Potential Gamer last time, but since then it’s actually become a reality. Small steps so far, with a daily update focusing on the news coming out of E3, but the real debut will come next Read more…
Well, I’ve taken the plunge and created a new blog, dedicated entirely to gaming. I say plunge, but it’s currently more of a dainty paddle, given that there’s almost no content as of yet. Hopefully that will change fairly soon – I’ve got a preview pack for Multiwinia arriving soon, Read more…
As you will have already noticed if you’re…here, I have switched from Blogger to WordPress. This was done for a variety of reasons; aesthetic, functional and otherwise. It seems to fit what I want to do a little better and has a cleaner interface that pleases me. I’ll actually be Read more…
It’s been a good year for books so far.

We’re building the set for the FXhome Film up at work at the moment. I’ve never really done anything quite like it (not being the DIY type) and it’s rather fun, seeing it taking shape piece by piece, each beam or panel making it seem more and more like a Read more…
The problem with being a PC gamer is that, while you sometimes get better versions of games, you tend to be writing about them a year-or-so after the rest of the planet. PC scoops are often old news to everyone else. Which brings me to Mass Effect, a game that Read more…
That was all I had to say. I’d rather be Zoe than Kaylee.. results: You are Kaylee Frye (Ship Mechanic) Kaylee Frye (Ship Mechanic) 80% Zoe Washburne (Second-in-command) 80% Malcolm Reynolds (Captain) 65% Dr. Simon Tam (Ship Medic) 65% Derrial Book (Shepherd) 50% Inara Serra (Companion) 45% Wash (Ship Pilot) Read more…
I first came across the term ‘future history’ inside the pages of an Asimov novel – most likely one of the Foundations and almost certainly a reprint, probably containing one of the man’s excellent introductions. Apparently it was coined by Heinlein as the title of a short story and was Read more…
