There haven’t been many rambles on here of late – it’s really just been the game diary that’s been getting postings. Anyhoo, I’m here now. First off, homeAudit has been doing very well of late – it seems to have attracted a fairly large audience. Just as well, really, because I’ve been spending a lot

It’s not as though he’s tough, or anything, just that he has two dirty great seemingly-indestructible Uruk Hai henchmen. Not to worry, though – I’ll get him tonight. Resident Evil 4 is on the way – I can see poor old Third Age taking a break for a day or two 🙂

Aaaargh! Ok, big hard fight with swarms of Orcs lurching across a bridge. Not too bad – thankfully I have an Elf who can revive KO’d characters. The battle out of the way, something very similar happens a few steps later. So, I’ve battled my way along to the end of the bridge only to

Fired up for 45 minutes or so to have a quick blast around a couple of tracks. The nice thing about this game is that we can all play it, including Debbie and Harmony (who is only 4). I still find the whole game utterly incomprehensible though. Pretty though.

Well, I kinda lost interest a bit while lurching through Moria. Loads of brown, loads of repetitive battles with Orcs. Anyway, I was having withdrawal symptoms and picked it up again for another go and managed to complete the Moria section. The Balrog was fun – 178,000 hit points is no joke, but Gandalf is

Dear oh fecking dear. I bought a plastic bottle of “Channel Islands Milk” from Tesco. That’s the creamy, slightly golden, milk from Jersey Cows.
