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, the thinest of excuses. It’s a great game and I

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 ages, just doing Warsong Gulch. I have another four classes

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

The McGuffin (there’s always one, isn’t there?) is ‘The Bobbler’. It’s a device which can create a perfect sphere

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 spare moment or two to get a bit of revenge

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 other stuff going on 5) World of Warcraft. So there

World of Warcraft (PC)

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’ in Warsong Gulch. Anyhoo, I also had to send some
