Ian Miller

The recent John Blanche post I did put me in mind of an old book I bought many moons ago, Realms of Fantasy by Malcolm Edwards & Roberts Holdstock.

This illustrated fantasy art book published in 1983 by Paper Tiger, contained descriptions of ten seminal fantasy works. With each of the chapters (and associated work) illustrated by a different artist.

For Gormenghast by Mervyn Peake, this was illustrated by Ian Miller.
Below are some of the illustrations from the book, well worth a look if you can find, though long out of print.

Late to the party as always

Well late to the party as always, but I’ve finally gotten around to getting Space Marine 2 and completing it.

That I actually completed it is quite the testament to the game, it has been quite some time since any game has held my attention long enough for me to do that.

So that puts me ahead of 46% of other Space Marine 2 players and probably close to 100% of game journalists.

Atlantis – OK let’s play along

I think I’m about to go down an Atlantis rabbit-hole after watching Joe Rogan interview Randall Carson.

Randell offers an interesting premise for how a series of islands could have at one time existed in the Atlantic and what might have occurred to result in the destruction/removal of said island(s).

That’s not to say I fully buy into the idea of a sea-faring civilization; I would expect more accounts than just Plato’s. But then again who’s to say there isn’t without looking.

The full interview on Spotify embedded below, it’s worth a listen for entertainment alone. Can’t vouch either way for the science though, so I’ll leave that to you to make your own assessment.

Hello world!

First post ! Sort of.

I figured it was time for a change around here. We have been running on VbSuite 4.5 for a good few years now and it served our purposes well during that time.

But that version of VbSuite is no longer compatible with later versions of PHP and has become end-of-life. Which means it is no longer receiving any updates, so has become a security liability.

Hence here we are once more, back in the WordPress fold.
