On Mountain Biking

On Mountain Biking

Well here we are again.  Much to my pleasant surprise, my last post was actually very well received, at least judging by comments on here and from friends on Facebook (Of course, they are biased).   Due to this it has encouraged me to have a go at this again.   Alas, no short story this [...]

Google Search

There comes a point in everyone’s lives, or at least there came a point in mine, where we take the time to do something very silly… we Google ourselves.

Looking back: Dungeons & Dragons: Shadow Over Mystara

Dungeons & Dragons: Shadow Over Mystara was an arcade game developed and published by Capcom in 1996 as a sequel to Dungeons & Dragons: Tower of Doom.

40K Storytime: Spared

Dreadnought Cassius stared around the battlefield in dismay. The gallant crusade of the Black Templars had failed miserably. They had decided to unleash their holy wrath upon the heathen Tau, who had dared to infringe upon their worlds in the name of their godless religion, but they had underestimated the technosorcery of the xenos. Cassius [...]

The Long Day

The Long Day

This is probably the first thing I’ve written since High School in the true sense of writing something.  Darren was kind enough to allow me to come and play in his wonderful sandbox,  so when I finally got around to it I wanted to make it something worthwile.  If I did or didn’t is really [...]
