Early retirement from PC gaming?

12 years ago my first PC arrived & with it began many years of MMO & single player gaming. Previous to those 12 years, I had the C64 but none of the early consoles of that time.
My gaming has been dominated by the PC since my mid twenties, I have no regrets & even owning [...]

Trackback Tuesday #6

With something of a mini heatwave in the UK, my reading list has got a little quieter the past week since trackback #5. It’s allowed me more time to get on with my freelance writing(I have more good news to come later in the week!) & start hunting down an artist to design a header [...]

GTA IV: Warm coffee & game freeze

I had been enjoying Liberty City this weekend, getting through some nice missions that introduced new characters to Niko. Michelle even invited Niko in after a few games of Eight Ball & Roman’s special ability became unlocked also.
