And because it was your fault, it's now... Read more ›

Years ago, one of my university lecturers told me that he didn't really read much that he enjoyed anymore - I suspect he'd been marking one of my essays - but there was a line of poetry he had read the other day that he thought was phenomenal. He then said it out loud, and what I remember him saying was just part of a sentence, just this: "In winter,... Read more ›

It's not something I brag about very often - mainly because remembering you once invested nearly 2,000 hours of your life into a single game does tend to trigger a degree of introspection - but Ark: Survival Evolved is easily the most played game in my Steam library.
