Notes
Just fleeting thoughts that pop into my mind. Or perhaps things I’ve been thinking about that don’t really warrant a full-on post.

My First Month in Rust – A Write Up
My first month in Rust has been a huge learning curve in the game, and I think it may have changed me… as a gamer. I wrote a post recently detailing seven tips for new players that I had picked up along the way. As it turns out there are some more tips I have, which…

Life On The Road with David Brent
Last night I went with a friend of mine to see David Brent : Life on the Road. I think we both had mixed feelings about it initially – on one hand it’s great to see this character again, while on the other it chances hurting the mythology. I am happy to say that this…

Suicide Squad was a lot of fun
I keep seeing negative reviews of the Suicide Squad, but you know what? I had fun, dammit. Suicide Squad was a lot of fun – there, I said it. Don’t go into this film expecting much more than it is – an action-packed, romping, stomping arcade of cinema fun. Because that is what it is. I did however…

Stranger Things Series One – A Write Up
Think of The Goonies crossed with The X-Files, with a dash of Silent Hill. This is the best one line intro I could think of for Stranger Things that I hadn’t heard before. It is the story of a small group of friends who are investigating the disappearance of their friend, Will. Will is seen…

Half-Marathon training starts this week

Star Trek Beyond was pretty good
Today me and my good lady went to see the new Star Trek film, Star Trek: Beyond. I had no expectations for it – I was neither excited or anticipating it to be bad; I just went and watched a film at the cinema. And as it turned out I enjoyed it. This film felt like…

Who’s that knocking at the window(s)?
So yesterday I rage-quitted Windows 10 for its constant blue-screening. None of my games would work under the Linux distro I installed. So now I have re-installed Windows 10 with the vain hope of it working fine. One thing I didn’t actually think about during my immature rage yesterday, was to debug the issue –…

The new Ghostbusters film wasn’t terrible
When I first saw the trailer to this film I had the same thoughts as many fans of the original film – “oh great, another classic film that somebody’s gonna kill off”. But I went to see it today based on the positive reviews I’d seen and do you know what? I actually enjoyed the…
