My name is Robin Tate and I live in the glorious Antrim countryside in Northern Ireland.

I’m level 47, married with a family of five boys, some of my own and some foster kids.  We have four chickens, a cat called Lucky and an indeterminate quantity of tropical fish, all named Bob.

For a real job I work with a specialist catering
equipment company consulting with my
clients on whats hot in food. Hot food. 🙂

I’ve been playing video games since they were invented and I imagine I’ll be playing them until the end.  My weapon of choice is currently the Xbox One but we have ‘all’ the consoles old and new and a selection of gaming PC’s if I get the urge.

I love the simplicity of console gaming.  You switch it on and away you go.  That’s not to say that what you can achieve on a PC isn’t amazing but I don’t have the time for all the fiddling about.

I love being part of our weekly gaming podcast, The Overseas Connection.  We discuss our passions for this great pastime and a pile of silly nonsense.

Over the years I’ve made some of my closest and best friends through this community. OCPod.com

I hope you enjoy the blog.
