Dear Microsoft,

I'm frustrated, I'm angry, I'm sleep deprived, and it's your fault.

Yes, another Windows update has happened.

I've been thinking recently about video games and accessibility, after watching my Dad trying to play Lego Lord of the Rings for the first time.

It's been a while since I've done a 30 day challenge and this one is probably way overdue. I'm going to give up news for a month.

Why? Well, because it's depressing, that's why. Although that's an oversimplification.

I struggle to think of things I want when relatives ask me for gift ideas at this time of year. However, if we ignore what's possible for a second, there are some things I'd like.

In which I criticise myself, try to be funny, and observe something troubling in a motorway services.

Skyrim is a study in procrastination. I stopped playing it after 93 hours, after which I still didn't feel like I was close to completing it. My in-game todo list just kept getting bigger - there were always new side quests, or dragons to fight, or interesting caves to explore.

In the end, I stopped playing simply because there was too much to do. But I didn't like to leave it unfinished. It's been a while, but I think it's time I completed Skyrim.
