Over the past 18 months or so, myself and Jenni have come to have quite a soft spot for Sydney.  I’ve travelled there about 10-15 times in the past year and both of us have many fond memories there.  We’ve got our favourite restaurants, favourite shops that sell stuff you can’t find in Brisbane and many old friends from Queensland ...

Picked up a new board game this weekend.  I’d heard a lot about Settlers of Catan before but never got around to playing it.  We picked it up from Mind Games over the weekend and played a couple of rounds with Jen and Dominic. Turns out its pretty awesome and I’m not just saying that because I won the first ...

I hope everyone had an awesome Christmas.  We had a pretty sweet day in Brisbane.  It was mostly a family affair and Jen cooked up a storm.  We all ate far too much food and had plenty to drink.  Its been a pretty relaxing way to close out a hectic year where we got married, I got made redundant then ...

I’ve said before that this current generation of gaming has been my favourite for the sheer range of different games that are now on offer across all the different platforms.  2009 didn’t disappoint with its range of quality titles, which if anything, were up in quantity from the year before.  And would you believe 2010 already promises even more amazing ...
