    Castlevania – Dawn of Sorrow (Nintendo DS)

    DEATH == DEADED. My first attempt at DEATH filled me with unreasoning fear. He is the grim reaper, after all. So, I fired off a panic-laden “nneeeaaargh!” type email to deKay and decided to have another go. I looked at my soul configuration and decided...

    Kept my appointment at the centre of the map. Twice. The first time, I neglected to wear a certain piece of jewellery (which, in fairness, it would be unlikely that I’d know to do this at this stage) which resulted in my being EVIL and...

    So, a top tip is – when you’re playing a Castlevania game and it seems like you’ve reached the end of game guy, don’t kill him, but look for an alternative way. In this instance, the alternative was to spot the big fiery scary looking...

    BBC NEWS | Business | Patent row could hit MP3 industry

    This is so far beyond irony that it’s actually painful. To think that the biggest advocates of immoral software patenting are being stung by their own greed is a much needed indication that there is some justice in the world after all Perhaps Microsoft should...

    Castlevania – Dawn of Sorrow (DS)

    Ok, so after gubbing the dirty great zombie dinosaur thing, I wandered around in vain for – ohhh – a good couple of hours, unsure what to do next. Then I remembered that the room where the boss dies isn’t actually the boss room, but...

    The Mythical Martin-Minute – an experiment

    I am writing this post as an experiment. I am endeavoring to observe and measure the Martin-Minute. The Martin-Minute is the period of time which elapses between me making a post and RedSmartie posting a comment. Get Ready… Get Set… G-G-G-G-Goooooooooo!
