  • Fire Emblem – The Sacred Stones (GBA)

    Fire Emblem – The Sacred Stones (GBA)

    I’m gonna have to start again. Really, I am. I seem to have missed unlocking the Colloseum in mission six and there’s no way to go back and do it again. And I lost two characters I probably shouldn’t have. These are all, of course,...

    World of Warcraft (PC)

    It’s official! Since dinging 23, Trollbert is now officially my highest level character. I’m not really a “mad rush to level 60″ person – there’s just far too much to do for all that grinding and levelling. Trollbert, for example, stayed at level 19 for...

    Trollbert and Clawbert – Kickin’ ass and takin’ names in Ashenvale

    Well, they’re getting all grown up now. Trollbert is level 22 and Clawbert is level 21. Popped up to Ashenvale to grab the two Horde flight paths there but, well, it’s maybe a little early. Every quest I’ve come across is essentially do-able but a...

    When nuns attack!

    She’s a Maverick Nun, who doesn’t do things by the Good Book, and she’s out to avenge the death of, well, Jesus I suppose. It’s like a bad cop movie! BBC NEWS | UK | Da Vinci code nun ‘not genuine’

    Vernor Vinge – Across Realtime

    This is a strange book. It’s actually two, really, and although both are set in the same world with essentially the same technology, they’re several hundreds of millions of years apart and very different in style. The McGuffin (there’s always one, isn’t there?) is ‘The...

    Movement – we have movement all around…

    Well, in a manner of speaking. The couple who are buying our house have finally accepted an offer on their house, so things on that front won’t be hanging in limbo. We still have no idea how to work it. Basically, we have two options:...

    Some Things Just Need To Be Done(tm) There’s a voodoo Troll bloke on Echo Isles in Southern Durotar who was the bane of Trollbert’s life at level 10. He’s a malignant git with a habit of shrinking you then ganking you. So, I had a...

  • Oh dear.

    Oh dear.

    I’ve just realised I haven’t actually completed any games this year. At all. There are a few reasons for this: 1) World of Warcraft 2) I’ve been flitting about and not really playing anything with any real seriousness 3) World of Warcraft 4) Too much...

    Mooriel the druid had an epic and extremely intense session in 10-19 battlegrounds yesterday – it went on for about 50 minutes and, for once, both Horde and Alliance were more or less equally twinked. I’ve decided that big stupid cow druids are the dogs’...
