After a month off and some nonsense health issues, back at a new yoga studio with a new teacher

And nearly a record for a simple hour's vinyasa ๐Ÿ’ช feels good to be back in my body properly

A building filled with dreamers.

My favourite thing about the Xbox 360, 20 years on? It did something no other console has managed since.

I have always defended Nioh, and after feeling a bit underwhelmed by Rise of Ronin and Wo Long, I'm pleased to say: we are so back

Remembering how BioShock directly lead to some academic success (in that it felt like a really smart game... to a 17-year-old)

Like, I'm booked for an X-Ray and a full blood count -- how much would those two things alone set me back elsewhere? A grand? More??

I'm having some chronic arthritic flare ups this week - worst I've ever had - and my GP has been cycling me through sedatives, steroids, painkillers and more to see if anything can bring the pain down.

I DREAD to think how much this would cost in the US. Shoutouts to Bevan and the NHS, seriously

Until tonight, I have never experienced pain that made my ears ring and my vision swim. Worst of my life. Would not wish it on my worst enemy. NHS has been reassuring, if not a bit slow (not their fault). Can't imagine what I'd do if I lived in the US.

Finally accepting that I'm chronically ill enough to need a walking stick. I'm 33, this sucks. But at least there seem to be plenty of cool options out there. Wonder if I can like a Bloodborne one with a chain whip in it...

Remembering the time I sold my PS2 and 100+ games just to get a 360 and a copy of Halo. I still regret that decision to this day.

I have so many TGAs takes, but instead of engaging I am going to log off and channel my energy into making a shallot tarte tatin.

A love letter to Peter Jackson's King Kong video game, the first great achievement hunter pick-up Peter Jackson's King Kong has left an indelible mark - on my gamerscore.

Who doesn't love a slightly mid launch title with ambitious ideas? The 360 had some all-timers, including a particular favourite of mine, which I've written about today as part of Eurogamer's coverage marking the 360's 20th, which is this week: www.eurogamer.net/a-love-lette...

Had the sort of week I can't wait to talk to my therapist about. Feeling very grateful for friends, health, my lifestyle, autumn, and the better aspects of my job.
