Blood Bowl indulgence!
There is a site that I have been a pretty big fan of for a while, it\’s called inkedgaming. They started as a custom card mat site that would allow you to design your own gaming mats for Netrunner / Magic etc. However they have diversified a little and now offer a range of dice…

Prioritise!
I have finally seen IP Man! It is an incredibly good example of a Martial Arts movie. The plot is better than most (although still not great) but the choreography and fight sequences are really incredible. I always like when you can see the different fighting styles and feel the flow of each as unique.…

Roman Holiday – watched
Well, as promised, I have been working through the list and have managed to sit through Roman Holiday! I think this may be my favourite Audrey Hepburn movie to date. I am still not convinced she can really act as it seems her every character is this rather vacant girl who isn\’t really tuned in…

BLOOD BOWL, BLOOD BOWL, BLOOD BOWL!!!
I recently found out about a Blood Bowl tournament that would be happening in my local gaming store… and then remembered that I had left all of my teams back in the UK. Oh well that simply means getting some more! This may seem excessive however Blood Bowl remains to this day one of my…

Samurai are on the rise
Well, Thanksgiving has been and gone. It is in fact my first Thanksgiving spent here in the US and I have very much enjoyed it. The idea of a holiday where you reflect on all the things you have to be thankful for, really is a fantastic idea. (We will leave aside the savage origin…

See ALL the movies
Whilst I was on my rotation in Mountain View two years ago, I started posting in my MTV blog about the movies I was seeing, mostly as a quick, easy way of generating some blog posts. With my resuscitation of this blog, my favourite blog and with the other blog moving focus to more food…
