Hey.

I'm Dan. A 37 year old father of two who doesn't have nearly as much time as he needs to do half the things he wishes he had the time to do.

I mainly Toot […]

I haven't had a chance to watch episode one of #aknightofthesevenkingdoms as of yet, but I should find the time this evening.

I for one am so ready to dive back into the HBO world of Westeros and am super intrigued to see how they handle this smaller scale story […]

#clonehero has become my ultimate chill-out game. When times get tough, I dig out the guitar.

I finished my re-read of #aknightofthesevenkingdoms last night, and so it's time to move onto my second read of 2026.

This time I'm going back to nonfiction with #asoundsoveryloud, which is a book that 'tells the story of every Oasis song ever recorded'.

It's day five of my #vidjagameawards2025 and I've lost interest so let's get down to it.

*Day 5: Game of the Year!*

Honourable Mentions: #rematch, #dispatch, #wuchangfallenfeathers and #hadesii. I love you all, and in another year maybe you'd be hoisting the […]

Day Four: **Game I Didn't Get Around To Playing**

Awarded to the game I most wanted to play, but didn't get around to.

And the winner is: #donkeykongbananza

Le sigh. I don't own a Nintendo Switch 2, not yet at least. I'll be rectifying […]

Right. Time for my third read of this bad boy before the show hits in two weeks time.

Low-key one of the saddest parts of leaving 2025 behind for me is that I think we're basically saying goodbye to #bluey.

We've had Bluey calendar in the kitchen for two years straight....but the kids have moved on from it and as much as we enjoy it, we don't […]

Day Two: **Favourite Retro Game**

Awarded to the 'retro game' I most enjoyed playing in 2025.

And the winner is:

**Rhythm Tengoku**

Is 2006 retro? Am I that old? Who's to say? Me I guess...

Anyway. I've never really been a big rhythm […]

Grabbed two more books, this time on my ereader.

A Sound So Very Loud is an #oasis book that I'm probably going to make my first book of '26 and In The Artic Seas is a book about the expedition that uncovered the horrors of the failed Franklin expedition of 1845.

Yeah. I'm very current. Here's my #spotifywrapped for 2025.

#oasis took over my life in like mid July. They're all I listen to now. Sorry, I guess? Maaaaaybe.

Anyway.

For a lil' context I've switched to Deezer so I've probably got another 1k listens.

Also I […]

Playing through some #supermarioland2 right now.

Never played this one before, although I'm fairly sure I had it on my Gameboy when I was a kid.

As you'd expect from a game of it's era, it's fairly simple but it's got that mario charm and feel that's just so […]

Lil' bit of #clonehero to celebrate the end of the work week.

Got some photos from my recently arrived #outerwilds book. I haven't had a chance to start reading it yet (although I finished another book this afternoon so maybe....) but its beautiful work of art in itself.

Unlike the other Outer Wilds book I got earlier in […]

Here's my #gameawards voting card. As you may have expected, its very #clairobscur and #hadesii heavy.

Just spent £120 on this bad boy. I now have two guitars.

I have a problem.

Right. Given I'm only actively playing Hades and two hours of Dispatch a week, I've found a little time to dig the retro handheld out.

Figured I'd finally take a look at #tmntturtlesintime from the SNES. Never played it before, and I don't really love […]

The SteamDeck really is the best bit of technology I've ever brought.

Here I am on a Sunday afternoon playing a Linux version of a Guitar Hero/Rock Band clone, with an Xbox 360 Guitar on my 4K HDR TV and it basically works beautifully.

Now if only I didn't suck.

Can't wait for my selection of Enzo over Anderson to blow up in my face later.

I had no idea #dispatch was a thing until an hour ago, but I'm totally sold on the idea.

I used to enjoy those Telltale games back in the day; shorter episodes of gaming that was cut down into smaller chunks and then released over the course of a few months […]

I've been watching some reviews for the #xboxrogallyx and yeah, I could be interested...if I had £800 burning a hole in my pocket.

My main takeaway however is....

Man, this D-pad is #mastersystem levels of ugly.

New poster for #aknightofthesevenkingdoms #akotsk.

I'm excited.

For all of House of the Dragons many faults, I still adore the on-screen universe.
