  • Warcraft III (PC)

    Warcraft III (PC)

    Well, as the comment on last night’s entry goes, I’m now up to my eyes in Undead. It’s really quite strange seeing units charging about the place that I recognise from WoW In particular, the big three armed blokes who guard Undercity are pretty fearsome....

  • Nintendo Urine

    Nintendo Urine

    Ok, so Nintendo have announced that the console codenamed revolution is going to be called the Wii. I have to say that, much though I’m looking forward to this console being the saviour of gaming, that is the worst name I’ve ever heard heard. I...

    Warcraft III (PC)

    Ok, so a friend at work has been waxing lyrical about all the ingame lore and history in World of Warcraft which ties into the Warcraft III RTS scenarios. Except I’ve never played them, and I’m feeling all left out. So, off to game for...

  • More delays

    More delays

    According to Adelaide Skilled Processing Center, we have another 6 or 7 weeks before a case officer is allocated. Guh. That’s a while. Absolutely nothing we can do about it, though. Here’s hope they don’t move the goalposts again within that time.

    Crates and Boxes

    We’re still in the throes of attempting to clear out some of the rubbish we have. As part of the process, I’ve ordered a pile of really useful boxes from, er, reallyusefulboxes.com . As you might expect, they’re boxes and they’re really useful. Ordered a...

  • Resident Evil: Deadly Silence (DS)

    Resident Evil: Deadly Silence (DS)

    I’m a sucker for Resident Evil. We’ve already established that, more than once. So it’s only right that I should wax lyrical and enthuse A LOT about a handheld version. Deadly Silence has two modes. The first is a straight port of the PS1 version...

  • Battalion Wars (GameCube)

    Battalion Wars (GameCube)

    It’s ACE! It’s mental madness though. Imagine a real time strategy game. Then imagine it as a direct-control third person shooter. With vehicles. Then make it all cartoony. That’s pretty much Battalion Wars. I’ve only done the first few missions so far, but my fingers...

    Animal Crossing Wild World (DS)

    Bah! 109 bells for white turnips. That’s RUBBISH! I’m beginning to think Nook and Joan are in cahoots :-/ Did some low-scale deforestation this morning, and replaced a load of the deciduous trees with nice fruit trees. And my palm has grown successfully. I must...

    Trollbert and Clawbert – Keepin’ it REAL in t’Barrens

    Here they are – Trollbert and Clawbert, during a little expedition from Crossroads to Ogrimmar. I’m becoming strangely attached to little clawby – he’s a cheerful wee chap.

  • Advance Wars DS – Nintendo DS

    Advance Wars DS – Nintendo DS

    Another of those ‘I really should give this a go’ games. Only done the first five (largely tutorial) missions. Just really saying I’ve started, is all. It’s a strange thing about this series. When I actually play advance wars, I love it to death. It...
