The Andromeda Experience – 4

Hello again, Just a quick one but it’s been almost a month since I did the last update on my progress through Mass Effect Andromeda. I’ve also discovered that I can take screenshots on my Xbox and upload them to my Hotmail account. To be honest, I haven’t made much progress in the single-player campaign. […]

My Top 10 Battlestar Galactica episodes

Now that I’ve been through all the Joss Whedon shows that I’m going to do, I think it’s time to move on to this. I remember watching and enjoying the original series when I was much younger and I can’t remember what drew me to this rebooted version. I wasn’t a massive fan of the […]

All the Firefly episodes and Serenity ranked from ‘shiny’ to ‘shiniest’

Having done Buffy and Angel, it seemed fitting that I should complete the set by running down my favourite Firefly episodes. As there are so few, and they’re all so good, it seemed silly to cut any off the list. I did 15 Doctor Who stories after all, so why not do 15 Firefly episodes. […]

Monday Music 3 – 2018

A very big change of pace from the previous three entries – this week I’m coming back to the UK to bring you – The Prodigy I first heard The Prodigy, who were formed in Braintree in 1990 by keyboard player and songwriter Liam Howlett, through my best friend after I moved down to the […]

The Twin Peaks Haiku project – update

I’m nearly two weeks into my haiku project, “What the haiku!”, now and I’m really into it. Each one’s had between 10 and 70 views on YouTube and I’ve had nothing but positive messages and encouragement which has been genuinely heartwarming. I started by thinking that I would record them all in the same place […]

My Top 10 Buffy Episodes

Following on from Angel, time to tackle this one… Buffy: Slayer of, the Vampires. This was hard to narrow down. Really hard. I’ve had to leave out some corkers and I know I’m going to take some flak for it in various quarters. In honesty, though, I’m really happy with the final 10 that I […]

The Andromeda Experience – 3

Eos. This is the first new part of Mass Effect Andromeda that I’ve found since I started. The introductory part had all followed a pattern that was quite familiar. However, I took my ship, The Tempest, out for a spin into the Heleus Cluster to the first world to which I had been directed. After playing […]

Cover Art Competition – Round 1 winners

So, it’s been very hard as all the entrants had something unique that I liked. I was especially impressed with the skill that went into drawing faces and hair. If you haven’t seen all the entries yet, you can check them out here The entries were seen by lots of people via the website. My […]

Cover Art Competition – The Entries

You can now see the winners here Before Christmas, I visited one of the local secondary schools and spoke to some A Level Art students about doing some artwork for The Ardenna Crossing as part of a competition. When I publish the book this year, I’d love to be able to include some artwork from […]

What the Haiku! A Twin Peaks poetry experiment

Hi everyone, I had this idea while I was riding home from work today. I’ve decided to challenge myself to write a Twin Peaks inspired haiku poem every day for the next month. Not only that, but I’m going to perform them all on YouTube in short, one-minute videos. Here’s the first one. Hope you enjoyed […]
