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…

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.…

A lazy Saturday and I decided to chip away at the Netflix list.First up, Who Shot Liberty Valance… I grew up with John Wayne movies, they formed many a Sunday afternoon with my Grandmother and yet despite seeing a huge array of his westerns, I had never seen this one… with Jimmy Stewart! This is…

Well, it involved staying up a couple of nights but I eventually got there! A (mostly) fully painted team of Wood Elves!!! And they were done just in time for West Coast Quake 2015! It really was a very close run thing, I got the varnish sprayed on the night before the tournament – fortunately…

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…

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…

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…

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…
