The Modern Hermit

I just can’t help myself. I’m a blog whore. I just like writing, so I started a new blog! GeoffreyWakeling.com is my exploits into self-publishing in the ebook industry. I’ll be updating with book progress, promotion and marketing ideas and other self-publishing, writing type posts. I’ve come into s

Today, I said it. I said something that I daren’t think possible when 52 First Dates began. I told Mr T I loved him. We’ve been circumnavigating around the issue recently with a lot of ‘I miss you a lot’, ‘I wuv you’ (please don’t judge me – we all know that in the privacy [...]

I’ve just finished Caprica and I’m in mourning. When I was first introduced to Battlestar Galatica I thought it was just another Star Trek competitor. It wasn’t, it isn’t, Star Trek simply doesn’t come anywhere close to the plot lines, character development and epic plot that Battlestar sets out. Af

We all know I’m a Star Wars geek, and having played Star Wars: Galaxies (SWG) for many years I’m waiting with HUGE anticipation for the release of Star Wars: The Old Republic (SWTOR).

It has been revealed in Australia’s gaming magazine PC PowerPlay that Mass Effect 3 is to get multiplayer features. It’s quite a dramatic revelation for a game which, for both it’s first and second titles, steered fervently away from the traps of putting too much time into multiplay games rather tha

If you’ve been following 52 First Dates you’ll know that the ultimate goal is to find a husband. I don’t mean to date 52 guys and get married at the end of it, I mean to find someone with whom I want a future with. I’m not a naive fantasist who’ll get married within three [...]

Spooks is one of those British series that has gone from strength to strength. There aren’t many dramas that can boast ten seasons and an international audience hanging on every episode. But, alas, after saying for many seasons that the acclaimed drama was to finish, the end is finally nigh. It’s be

UPDATE: Thanks to the guys over at Dragonblogger.com I’ve discovered that screenshots are not allowed to be shared. Whilst this T&C line has been removed, I’m treading on the side of caution and so can only share official shots. The WORST thing to happen would my Beta being revoked – and we CAN’T ha

You know, I know, the whole bloody world knows (especially if you follow me on Twitter) that I’m a Harry Potter addict. The young wizard was first thrust upon me when my Dad (yes, it’s his fault) told me of these strange books he was reading. A decade later I’ve read all the books, several [...]
