“That movie was brilliant.” Coming from Tristan, that’s high praise indeed. Normally a question like ‘did you enjoy that’ will illicit a response of ‘yeah’, if you’re lucky. Unprompted praise is a rare thing indeed. Then again, Appleseed is pretty special. Not the best Manga in the world, but certainly a damn sight better than

Well, according to the save screen, I’ve clocked 7 hours 50 minutes on this infuriatingly wierd yet strangely ACE game. I’ve finally managed to gub the big serpenty thing on the top of the forest, way above the annoyingly fluid ‘seasons’ forest puzzle. So, I’m, er, back where I started. I’ve learned that the only

Complet0rised! The last day in court seems to have been pretty much real time – it took hours. The story was coming so thick and fast, though, that I was carried onwards with the momentum, meaning the last half of the day was done in one sitting. I think I got the ‘glum’ ending because

Gaaah! Just when I think I’m getting somewhere, the defendant goes and opens her big flappy gob. Just finished day two of the trial – just got one more investigation and one more day in court to go…. My head is hurting with the complexities of the case. I really really wish the developers had

Right – that’s the end of the second day of investigation. As well as being able to do luminol testing for bloodstains, I can also dust for prints using the touchscreen and blow away the extra powder by….. blowing on the DS. What an ACE console it is 🙂 So, I have some pretty decisive

Phew! End of day one reached and I’m off investigating again. Spent most of the court session completely floundering. I had a fair idea of what may have happened, but was having problems backing up my suspicions with the available evidence. Took a couple of chances with fairly oblique connections and they seem to have

Spent a good few hours on the first day in court of trial five. And it’s only just got to lunchtime recess. It has more twists and turns than a twisty-turny thing. The mad lunchbox lady seems to have a never ending supply of ‘conclusive’ evidence that she pops up with every time I think

Been having some ‘quick dip in’ sessions over the past couple of days. Riviera (GBA) – played just long enough to reach an end-of-zone boss and get really hacked off cos I didn’t have any decent weapons and there’s no way of getting any. Metal Slug (GBA) – it’s rock hard but ACEBEST. Still haven’t

Well, the Stalk Market has been going pretty well today! I bought a hundred or so turnips at 106 bells each on christmas today. Imagine my glee to discover that Nook the Crook was buying for 848 bells this morning. So, mortgage one paid off, and a wad of currency to buy more turnips with

Quite possibly the best game ever. As I’m off on holiday for a whole two weeks, I’m taking the opportunity to play some non-handheld games that I’ve had a hankering to replay for ages. This was the first Zelda game to appear in 3D and was pretty ground breaking at the time. Even now, thanks
