The Temple of Bague Wasting bandwidth since 1997 - Now in our 27th wasteful year!

Other than a bit of dabbling with The Temple of Elemental Evil on t’PC, I’ve played virtually no games for ages. The ennui has struck again. A friend of ours has loaned us season 2 of 24 (we only saw season one) so that’s kinda eating the hours in the evening. Add to the mix

Well, we both have a gut feeling that we’ll be asked for medicals and police certificates in the next month. This may be wishful thinking on our part. The police certificates can take 40 days to arrive and are valid for one year after arrival. The date on the police / medical documents determines how

Mrs Me is popping in to our solicitors today to discuss missives on the house sale. All appears to be going very smoothly, so we’re hoping it stays that way. There’s nothing but silence on the visa front, but that’s to be expected. Next week is my last week at my current employer, so I’ve

Well, I can do 500 metres pretty reliably now. Trouble is, it generally takes me all three lives to do it and I never lose a life before level 4. That’s largely, I suspect, because I haven’t got the hang of getting rid of the brown blocks that almost always protect air tanks in levels

This is a weird game. It really is. It needs a combination of speed and fast reactions, puzzle solving and strategic thinking. Now that I’ve had a bit of success with 500 metre mode, I’ve gone in to tackle some of the speed missions. Basically you have to dig a certain distance within a target

500 METRE TRIUMPH! Muuuuhahahahahaha! I don’t care that I’ve finished Resident Evil 4 on hard mode. Couldn’t care less about Halo on the hardest level. I poo-poo in the smelly face of Tempest 2000 – I HAVE COMPLETED EASY MODE OF MR DRILLER 2. Phew! What a sense of satisfaction! This is why I play

Well, the survey has been carried out by our prospective purchasers and the surveyor indicated no problems, so I expect the ’subject to survey’ offer will be replaced by a firm one next week. Our purchaser was also telling us that he has a buyer pretty much lined up for his place, so things appear

Guhh. I can get to 450 metres pretty reliably these days, but that last 50 metres seems problematic. I tend to run out of oxygen. The oxygen tanks are all tucked behind similar looking arrangements of blocks so I just need to get my head around how the puzzle works. Played this for about an

Wipeout Pure is pretty good. It’s fairly close to the original but it’s by no means an F-Zero GX beater. It is handheld, though, so that’s a positive – I have some long journeys ahead of me and a handheld anti-grav racer can only be a good thing. Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories –

Had another half hour dabble with kitty today – it’s always fun beating cute things over the head with my sparkly little magic wand, so I can win new costumes. I should really make a concerted effort to play it properly, though.
