Witcher 3 is, for me, the best single player game I've every played. Though Ocarina of Time comes a close second - and I never even played it on release only years later when I bought an N64 at uni.

For multiplayer, however, you can't beat Halo with a load of mates round and a crate of beer.

Mario Kart was by far the best. The ability to play coop with only one of you having the game is something all game companies should do.

Ah, I'm in Europe so I can't give any specific recommendations with regards to places. However, I would always suggest doing some hiking and camping. It's such a refreshing way to spend time and getting into nature always recharges me. I believe that there are some excellent trails in the that kind of area.

I quite liked the rest of the Furies series. Didn't you enjoy them?

Great book. I do love the world he creates, it still holds up even now. His other books are just as good. I wish there were more cyberpunk books, I do love that genre.

I believe that the languages and packages used by kids in school do a lot of the heavy lifting for them. Whereas the Basic or old C that you'd use for the ZX Spectrum would be very bare bones with you having to do a lot of work for yourself. Plus, I imagine that as code development has moved on a lot since then that a lot of the features you'd expect to have available as a modern developer would be missing. I can't imagine that it'd be too easy to develop a game for.

I just finished Wind, Sand and Stars by Antoine de Saint-Exupery. It's an autobiographical piece from the Author of Little Prince about his days flying between the wars.

I'm just about to move onto Femina by Janina Remirez. Which is a history of the world told through the eyes of the deliberately women left out of it. I'm looking forward to it, it sounds excellent. Filling a much needed gap in the popular understanding of women's role in history.

That sounds awesome. I'll definitely add it to my, far too long, reading list.

Where are you based? That might give us some ideas of places/things to suggest.
