Yesterday I spoke about the first half of the season, what I liked, how I felt about it thus far, and what I hoped we’d see for the second half. The first half of the season wasn’t BAD by any stretch of the imagination, even if it did have some pacing issues. I still wonder […]
Marvel’s The Defenders: Talking Points (Episodes 1 to 4)
It’s finally here. This is what we’ve spent a few years of building up to in the Netflix section of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It’s taken Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Daredevil again, Luke Cage and Iron Fist to set everything up for this. The big question is now that it’s finally here, and we’re half way […]
Ten Reasons Why: Disney vs. Netflix
Since the story broke earlier this week about Disney pulling their content from Netflix to start their own streaming service it’s been a story that I’ve kept an eye on with extreme interest. What plans does Disney have? Will they be introducing a streaming service for just their “Disney” content or are they planning something […]
iPhone 8: What Do We Know & Is It Worth Upgrading?
I’m writing this right now on an iMac. In front of me on the table is an iPhone 7. Behind me, on my sofa, is my iPad Pro. Sitting in my bedroom right now in a laptop bag is my MacBook Pro. On my wrist as I type is an Apple Watch. I wanted to […]

After last week’s episode, I really wanted just to talk about everything that happened. It was immense. The battle – or should that be massacre – was one of the best scenes the show has done, and the fact that Drogon was so influential in it, not to mention the fact that he took that […]
Ten Reasons Why: Gridania
Ten Reasons Why: Gridania For today’s “Ten Reasons Why” I want to look at Gridania, and give you Ten Reasons Why: Gridania is the Best City to Live. I mentioned previously that Ishgard had overtaken Ul’dah as my second-favourite city, and that if there was housing there I would seriously consider buying some in Ishgard. […]
Ten Reasons Why: Heavensward
I aim to make “Ten Reasons Why” a regular feature. Last night I finished Heavensward. It seemed like a very logical thing to do to start here then, with Ten Reasons Why I Enjoyed Heavensward… 10. Diversity I’m not necessarily talking about racial diversity in the sense of there were many different skin colours. In […]
Why Final Fantasy XIV?
So, I guess I should begin this blog with an answer to this question. Why, of all the things in the world I could start off with, am I beginning with Final Fantasy XIV? Well, because it’s one of the best games I’ve ever played. It’s really that simple. At 32 years old, having experienced […]
