I saw Bohemian Rhapsody at the cinema the other day and loved it. This is not a review, however, as I have realised that with a film like this, there is no real point to reviews. There is a reason why opinions are split on this movie and it is down to who is watching…
I have recently been mentally busy. This is the busiest time of year with seemingly everyone I know asking me to write or edit something or other. I am also in the last quarter of my novel and it is taking up a large chunk of my thought process with a corresponding dip in brain…
In the game, you play Peter Parker and Spider-Man (obviously), when he is a 23-year-old research assistant for Dr Otto Octavius. So you can pretty much guess one of the bad guys from the start.
I have had Accounting VR on my Playstation hard drive for a while and last night, on a whim (caused by finishing Spiderman), I thought I’d give it a go. I guess I had been put off by the title. There is nothing about Accounting that appeals to me and if the talents behind Rick…
I am going to be controversial here and confess that I always enjoy a Dan Brown book and Origin was no exception.
This will only be of interest to a few people – those who are writing novels and those who happen upon this site. So ‘few’ might be overselling it but I don’t care, this is my website and it is a topic I have been thinking about a lot. If you happen to be at…
I can’t believe it has taken me so long to watch this. I am a massive fan of all the Uncharted games and have liked Nathan Fillion in everything I have seen him in. This Uncharted film is a fan-made, live-action, 15-minute short movie. It’s possible that I was a bit reticent owing to the words…
This is pretty amazing. An incredibly old, or incredible and old, video clip of London in 1924 has surfaced and appeared all over my news feeds. I was pretty excited when I saw it as I have spent half my life in London. My family is from London. My grandad was almost a teenager when this…
Short story shorter – Mission Impossible 6, aka Fallout, is bloody great.
Skull and Bones isn’t due to be released until 2019 or possibly even 2020. Pirates and programmers are notoriously resistant to deadlines.
I have never threatened to quit Facebook but I know a ton of people who have and frankly it’s irksome. Sorry for my language. Most of the time they seem to be the people who post the most and are generally pretty vocal about, well, fucking everything. I remember in olden more naive times – …
I keep reading about productivity techniques. Which is ironic, as all that reading has made me less productive. I am specifically referring to writing productivity which is the only kind of productivity I give a shit about as I don’t really do anything else. Most writing productivity techniques seem to revolve around having a regular…
I haven’t posted a blog for a while. Sorry. I have numerous reason and lame excuses however: I went to a place called Koh Larn, I was reading, I have been writing more fiction, I forgot. Take your pick. Apologies from all senior management here at Word of Ward Towers. Koh Larn I live in…
I should preface this by pointing out that I absolutely love the Uncharted games. When they retired Nathan Drake I was both disappointed and sadden by my imminent loss of Uncharted action. What was I going to do? Then Naughty Dog released Uncharted: The Lost Legacy and I realised all was not lost. In fact,…
The original Red Dead Redemption is one of my all-time top favourite games. It is a work of absolute genius, great mechanics, visuals, story and everything. You also get to play a wild west gunslinger, which Rockstar happily made as fun as it should be. It is up there with being a pirate in Assassin’s…
As a writer, I tend to be overly wordy. Not today. This made me chortle (which is an old-school precursor to a lol) and I thought I would share. That is all. Hope it cheers you up.
If you live on a lake and happen to be an impatient nutcase on a motorbike, then this will be of massive interest to you. For everyone else, it is kind of cool. The final and most impressive one across Lake Como had a kind of water-skimming attachment thing on the front wheel but it…
Peter Serafinowicz is an English actor and voice over guy. I knew him originally from Spaced but he has since been in a ton of cool things from Alan Partridge to Guardians of the Galaxy. One thing he does, just for a laugh, is to dub over Trump’s voice with a variety of his own.
I saw this trilogy meter and thought it was fun for about a minute.
