Eve Online (PC)
Posted on February 26, 2006 | No CommentsBah. I made the mistake of paying attention to something someone at work was talking about. He mentioned Eve Online and I though ‘oh, an MMO that seems to have slipped below my radar’. So, I had a look. It has a fourteen day free... -
An Open Letter to Activision
Posted on February 23, 2006 | 2 CommentsDear Activision, Recently, my ten year old son purchased Lionhead Studios’ ‘The Movies’. On attempting to install it, however, he discovered that the DVD drive in the computer he proudly assembled himself would not read the DVD. It reads all other DVDs just fine. He... -
The Corpse Bride
Posted on February 22, 2006 | 1 CommentWhy is it that the trinity of Danny Elfman, Tim Burton and Johnny Depp can do no wrong? Yet again, this is another triumph of cinema backed with a particularly beautiful soundtrack. The only downside is that Christopher Lee doesn’t get to sing, but we... -
A general update
Posted on February 19, 2006 | No CommentsOk, so the visa lodgement stuff is hard, complicated, and – well – tiresome. But there’s other practical stuff that needs to be done too. We’ve had quite a bit of change recently – I changed jobs at the beginning of this month and, because... -
Mario and Luigi (DS)
Posted on February 19, 2006 | No CommentsSeven hours and fifteen minutes in and I managed to rescue all the Yoshis. Hooray! It involved getting eaten by the big pink thing – which was deliberate, obviously. Ahem. Anyway, I ended up wandering about in its innards on a Yoshi hunt, before defeat0ring... -
Mario and Luigi – Partners in Time (DS)
Posted on February 17, 2006 | No CommentsMaking some progress. I’m currently dotting around on Yoshi’s Island, following a traumatic experience where a big pink dinosaur had eaten all the Yoshis! Made a bit of a nob of myself but letting loose a cry of ‘no! Don’t eat the Yoshis, ye big... -
Panic! No Panic.
Posted on February 16, 2006 | No CommentsWell, had a brief moment of AAAAAAAARGHness yesterday. A bloke on a forum said that his migration agent had said that the class 136 visa had been deprioritised and the processing was running eight months behind. We’re on a category 138 visa which is quite... -
Oops
Posted on February 16, 2006 | No CommentsNot been any updates for a few days now. I’m getting the bus into work these days, so you’d think I’d have plenty of time for gaming joy. Sadly not, though. Thing is, it’s been a very long time since I’ve got the bus anywhere... -
Not much happening
Posted on February 14, 2006 | No CommentsAnd it’s likely to stay this way for a while. Our sponsor has gone out and bought bunk beds for the boys and is busily getting their room ready! In the meantime, we’re really just sitting waiting for things to progress. The people who’re buying... -
Mario RPGs!
Posted on February 11, 2006 | No CommentsWell well, it’s a Mario RPG frenzy! I’ve been playing Paper Mario 2 on the GameCube and Mario and Luigi DS on the bus! They’re both very similar games although, surprisingly enough, it’s the DS version which has the deeper gameplay, certainly as far as...
