Shortcut

Posted on December 10, 2014 by Adam Randall

On one particular Thursday in late 2012 I was attending a plenary lecture with plans to stay over with friends (David Tubb and Tülin) after it was finished. I was always very fond of these lectures (which were very exciting … Continue reading →

Christmas Association

Posted on December 8, 2014 by Adam Randall

I remember, last year, it was about a week away from Christmas, I was eating loads of small Christmas snacks and I was comfortably full, the heating was on and I was watching The Walking Dead. This year, I look … Continue reading →

The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks

Posted on December 5, 2014 by Adam Randall

I think this game has a bit of an unfair reputation for being not very good. People think “Why does this game have trains in it? Trains have nothing to do with Zelda! It must be bad” and “It looks … Continue reading →

Christmas Food

Posted on December 3, 2014 by Adam Randall

I know Christmas gets criticised a lot for being all about greed and so on and, while I disagree with that, today’s entry isn’t going to do much to affect that image. You see, I want to write about Christmas … Continue reading →

Compliment Book

Posted on November 24, 2014 by Adam Randall

Earlier this year, I started making arrangements for my birthday party. Rather sillyly I got a little over excited and started planning to see all of my friends when, really, very few of them could make it. Among the people … Continue reading →

Sonic Heroes

Posted on November 21, 2014 by Adam Randall

With two solid 3D Sonic games made so far, it was only natural for the series to continue in this new style. Sadly, however, the high quality of the two Sonic Adventure tites wouldn’t carry over into Sonic’s third 3D … Continue reading →

Sonic Adventure 2

Posted on November 19, 2014 by Adam Randall
