Anno 1701 (DS)
Posted on August 27, 2007 | 1 CommentThis is exactly what you don’t want. Trust me. I had a bank holiday stretching ahead of me when I turned it on. Now I have a DS with a flat battery which I can’t charge because my missus’ current EBA addiction means hers lives... -

Posted on August 26, 2007 | 2 CommentsIn which many game sessions are combined into one and some surprising facts emerge about the clientel of GameStation. Well, I’m finally making some progress in Zelda! I think my problem has been that I haven’t been playing it regularly so the first half of... -
Legend of Zelda – Twilight Princess (Wii)
Posted on August 20, 2007 | No CommentsPeople in newsgroups wonder why it takes me so long to complete a Zelda game. It’s very simple. I spend hours and hours mucking about with silly things. Last night, for example. I finally completed the Goron Caverns, and on returning to the village discovered... -

Back at work
Posted on August 13, 2007 | No CommentsImagine my surprise to discover I’ve not come back to any kind of drama or bloodletting at all! The server-migration deadline I thought was on the 15th isn’t actually until the 18th, which is TONS of time, so hooray me! The downside (there’s always one)... -
Glencoe
Posted on August 11, 2007 | No CommentsI really can’t describe the majesty and peacefulness of Glencoe. Pictures don’t seem to work either. But I’ve taken some pictures anyway. We only got to see a tiny part of the Glen this year, but we’ll be travelling a bit more extensively next year.... -
Holidays!
Posted on August 5, 2007 | 2 CommentsWell, my mate Martin told me about this concept where you go and live somewhere else for a while and then come back, but without shipping all your belongings along with you. It’s called “Holiday”. Well, that’s where we’re going tomorrow! So, we’re packing up... -
Legend of Zelda – Twilight Princess (Wii)
Posted on August 3, 2007 | No CommentsThe controls have really clicked now – feels very smooth and intuitive. It’s all helped by the locking system being pretty smart, especially in close combat. Ol’ link leaps about like a ninja, making me look much better at the game than I actually am.... -
Paper Mario (Wii Virtual Console)
Posted on August 1, 2007 | No CommentsWoohoo! This game is just a work of genius from beginning to end. I solved the various little problem-ettes in the Boo house and headed back to toad town. Ok, so that sounds like it took about five minutes, right? Nah – with all the...
