Been a bit under the weather today, so I’ve not been hugely active. As a result, I spent a bit of the day playing Mario and Luigi while feeling sorry for myself. Ten minutes after starting playing I suddenley wondered why I stopped. Anyhoo, I’m now on board the Evil Mushroom Mothership so we’ll see

Our agency was holding a pre-departure seminar yesterday, so we went along to see what it was all about. Essentially, it was a chance to speak with some recommended firms who specialise in things like financial planning, overseas shipping, and so on. The main thrust of the seminar, though, was to mingle with other people

Ok, I’d suggest keeping a notebook handy while playing Barrow Hill – there are numerous clues of various types all over the place and I’m finding I have to do a bit of backtracking every now and again (i.e. going back to look for a car registration number). I had a pretty good idea that

I’m really starting to believe that the filthy alliance scum who play on the Kul Tiras WoW server, or at least those who play in the 10-19 Warsong Gulch battleground, are a bunch of loser twinks with no ability whatsoever. The amount of twinkage on display last night was breathtaking – a level 15 dual

Well, I’ve successfully defended a village from the undead horde. Unfortunately, Arthas has had a bit of a falling out with Uther, stroppy tart that he is, and has single handedly stalked off to Stratholme to sort him out. As I’m sure everyone but me is already aware, this is a beautiful beautiful game and

Now this is just lovely. It’s titles like this, appearing completely out of the blue, that restore faith in the games industry. And it’s British to boot 🙂 It’s essentially a point and click adventure from the first person, done Myst stylee, but with a very heavy focus on atmospherics. I’ve only played for forty

Had a few emails form people looking for a progress update. There haven’t been any new posts made for a while because, well, there’s nothing to say. The sad fact about migration to Australia is that there are a few very brief bursts of absolutely frenzied activity and stress seperated with several extremely long periods

It’s a bizarre concept – making life-or-death surgery the subject of a video game. But it works! Trauma Center is a frantic nerve shredding panic game controlled entirely from the touch screen. Essentially, you play the role of a rookie doctor and have to perform varying surgeries against the clock. It sounds odd – but

Well, as the comment on last night’s entry goes, I’m now up to my eyes in Undead. It’s really quite strange seeing units charging about the place that I recognise from WoW 🙂 In particular, the big three armed blokes who guard Undercity are pretty fearsome. I now have access to Priests and Sorcerers, which

Ok, so Nintendo have announced that the console codenamed revolution is going to be called the Wii. I have to say that, much though I’m looking forward to this console being the saviour of gaming, that is the worst name I’ve ever heard heard. I can see it now – people wandering into Gamestation. “Hi,
