One hell of an opening paragraph from Nussaibah Younis’s “Fundamentally.” I know I’m gonna love this book already. “It's not like I was expecting Stalingrad, but Baghdad took the piss. Arriving for the first time, tucked into a UN car, I watched as the city lights refracted through the […]

My wife is playing Tomb Raider IV - VI remastered and it made me think about the Survivor Trilogy modern games. Now, I know I’ve played and finished Tomb Raider (2013); and I’ve played but not finished Shadow (2018); but reader, I was convinced I’d finished the second game, Rise (2015) Except […]

Is it just me, or is the BBC just another name for Fox News? I’m just watching their coverage of today’s train wreck and their reporter in Washington said that President Zelensky was disrespectful and if he were to come back to the table he hast to eat a big slice of humble pie. Said reporter […]

NGL, full raytracing Indiana Jones is just unbelievably cool. This isn’t even a screenshot, this is me just pointing the camera at the monitor and snapping. You should see it all in motion. It’s jaw dropping. #PCGaming #nVidia #RTX5090 #Xbox #shareyourgames
