Not been any updates for a few days now. I’m getting the bus into work these days, so you’d think I’d have plenty of time for gaming joy. Sadly not, though. Thing is, it’s been a very long time since I’ve got the bus anywhere at all, so it’s taking a wee while to get

And it’s likely to stay this way for a while. Our sponsor has gone out and bought bunk beds for the boys and is busily getting their room ready! In the meantime, we’re really just sitting waiting for things to progress. The people who’re buying our house still haven’t signed the missives, so our solicitor

Well well, it’s a Mario RPG frenzy! I’ve been playing Paper Mario 2 on the GameCube and Mario and Luigi DS on the bus! They’re both very similar games although, surprisingly enough, it’s the DS version which has the deeper gameplay, certainly as far as combat moves are concerned. In fact, some of the chained

Ye Gods! Chapter Six was a bit….. strange! I went back in time on a train and ran about in a submerged city. Then I went to the moon! Or was that before? Anyway, I killed EVERYTHING and then three months passed and I ended up back in the future where five years had passed.

Hah – chapters three and four pwn0red. Chapter five is proving a bit, well, mad – involving chasing a train while gunning down bad guys, running along the top of the train while gunning down bad guys and running along the inside while sharing some biscuits between bad guys. Oh no – it’s not sharing

Right now, we’re attempting to bring some form of order to the kids’ rooms. As we’re moving out on the 7th April to take up temporary residence in rented accomodation, we need to work out what is going into storage before being shipped to Oz, and what we’re taking with us to the rented house.

Just what the doctor ordered – an ennui-breaking side scrolling blaster from Treasure, the company who brought us the sublime Radiant Silvergun. It has everything – a surreal black-hotpanted non-baby with a finger lazer, ultra powerful arm cannon, and, erm, butt-mounted gatling gun. No, really! Oh, and jetboots. There are also RPG-lite elements in there,

It’s often said that everything has to come to an end eventually. In the case of root canal treatment, this is a good thing. In the case of a particularly fiery vindaloo, it’s not so good. Leaving Navyblue is definitely very close to the incendiary curry end of the spectrum (or rectum, if you prefer).

I hate it when this happens. The exit to the next level is in the third room, but I just know I’ll be compelled to crawl around the whole level looking or goodies and end up being eaten by a grue 🙁

Completed mission 7 – the first ‘fog of war’ mission. Not a particularly elegant victory, though – it ended up with a boxing match between my last unit and the enemy’s last unit. Entire map in darkness except for the two squares beside each other. In fact, in the Standard Scale Of Great Military Victories,
