Ah, books and gaming – my two passions in life. Why hasn’t anyone thought of bringing the two together more often? I guess that turning the fantastical ideas trapped within the confines of the written word into a physical, interactive experience is no easy feat. Words into artwork. Dialogue into acted, actual lines. Imagination-based lore into a realm you can explore… It’s a hard line to walk, where many have tried and failed. But the successes are great. ‘The Witcher’ series, for example – going from book to game to TV show, a viral phenomenon […]

‘The Magicians’ is one of the best shows on television – at least in my humble opinion. From the wondrous way it subverts fantasy tropes to the fast-moving, intriguing plot, there’s a little something in this fantastic show for everyone. If you know me, you’ll know that I love a strong female character. Thankfully, ‘The Magicians’ has them in heap loads. From the no-shit taking Kady to the subtlety headstrong Alice, there’s no shortage of feminist icons. One character though, stands head and shoulders above the rest: High King Margo Friggin’ Hanson.

Dragon Age: Inquisition is one of my favourite games of all time, so naturally I had to aim to achieve the pretty, sparkling platinum trophy; to cherish forever on my digital cabinet. Yesterday, that finally happened! After 80 hours of traversing through Thedas, the silver image, accompanied by that harmonious ‘ding’ finally appeared on my screen. But it wasn’t easy. My journey to that plat was riddled with challenges – Nightmare difficulty being one of them. Overpowered dragons, court balls, friendship aims – Dragon Age: Inquisition is no walk in the park. But it is […]

Hey Streamers! So I thought I’d do a monthly post where I’m a little bit more personal than in my usual reviews and articles. ‘Whatcha Watchin’?’ will be where I ramble about my blog progress, setting goals for the month ahead, what I’ve watched (duh), what video games I’ve played and what I’ve been up to for the past four weeks. Exciting, right? It’s almost October! My favourite month of the year. Pumpkin spice lattes are brewing (don’t judge me), the leaves are turning into their beautiful fiery shade of red and orange, and I’m […]

With 809 Pokémon, some are bound to get left behind, forgotten, unused, and abadoned, forever left to collect up digital dust. Apart from at this little geeky corner of the internet! I’ve rounded up a list of 11 Pokémon that deserve waaaay more love than they get. The poor little critters.   Mightyena   Okay, I might be a bit biased in that Mightyena is my favourite Pokémon of all time! I’m not even kidding. My weird wolf/hyena hybrid boy was the pride and joy of my team when I was 10 years old, smashing […]
