Either this will actually be the 1000th post or close to it… I’ll know when when it’s done! 🙂 I’m rapt to reach that kind of milestone too. It’s taken almost six years to do it (the blog started back in 2012) but it feels great to do […]
A big thank you to Drakulus for nominating us for The Blogger Recognition Award! When I first started this back in 2012, his blog was one of the first I had come across when I made the switch to WordPress and since that time it’s been a great […]
Nick the Gent over at the very awesome Deconstructing Video Games very kindly nominated us last week for a Leibster Award – a neat little version of a blogging chain letter where you talk a little about yourself and then nominate other blogs you are a fan of to […]

Time for a new theme to keep the blog fresh and interesting for me. This time it’s the Zoren theme which appealed to me because of its clean look and responsive design. It’s a much nicer experience to view on a smartphone. By now I had hoped to […]
Going through a little site tidy over the next few days. I’m trimming some pages that were more filler than anything and updating menus to point directly to post categories where possible. The benefits are that it is quicker to view posts and also that navigation will work […]
The awesome Drakulus was very kind in nominating me for an award! Having fellow bloggers stop to let you know that they think you are doing a great job is a reward in itself but a great part of this process is you get to let others know […]
Nice surprise today when I found that the blog has been nominated for The Versatile Blogger Award by the trio of gaming goodness at 1001-up.com and Kevin at The Mental Attic. Being noticed by two blogs I really like is a reward in itself and I want to thank them […]
