042: Jamie had a lizard-brain

October 11, 2017

037: a kind of glowy black

August 16, 2017

034: he should beat me up with his fists

July 26, 2017

033: what games journalists were like while hungover

July 12, 2017

029: (Wow. What a lot of parentheticals.)

May 31, 2017

028: don't worry, it's not that, serious, etc.

May 24, 2017

Hullo. A quick one this week, as I'm under the weather. Don't have too much sympathy for me. It's just a standard low-level cold. I'm working at about 80%,...
