Phew – Dodongo’s Cavern is finished. It’s just a mini dungeon, really. The only annoying bit was trying to switch off flames using my catapult when I didn’t have any ammunition, so I had to rummage around looking for stuff. What didn’t help was the whole family going ‘BOOP! BOOP! BOOP!’ along with the GameCube

Upgrade to 2.0 is complete, but Ecto still refuses to post. Annoyingly, it posts to my other WordPress blog just fine. Hrm.. Update – because WordPress doesn’t allow you to retrieve 23785687623 entries. I told Ecto to only retrieve 20 and it now works fine. Oh well.

Well, maybe – I’m intending upgrading too WordPress 2.0 tonight, to fix some bugs in the RSS feed. In theory, it should all go very well, but I thought I’d mention it. Just in case it all goes, you know, wierd.

Was having a wee play of the Zelda Collector’s Disk for the gamecube (which is basically, Legend of Zelda, Adventures of Link, Ocarina of Time and Majora’s Mask running under emulation on the GameCube). Anyway, it started off as a brief go and then it turned into a ‘my God, I forgot how ACE this

I’ve been tinkering today. Had a go of Castlevania and got stuck at a boss. I wasn’t really in the mood for the exploreyness, which is a serious drawback in Castlevania, given that the central drive of the game is colouring in the map. So, quick go of Fire Emblem. Failed utterley on Chapter 5

Right. So, the film is what – 90 minutes? 90 minutes of crawling about. In the dark. In tiny cramped spaces. While being pursued by hideous flesh-eating Gollum look-a-likies. I’m traumatised. I feel absolutely exhausted and drained. What an amazingly ACE movie!

Why? Why did I just limp in the direction of the save point, with a one pixel wide band of health, having just explored an area of the map? Why did I get myself killed doing this, when I had a backpack full of health potions which I’d gone and bought specifically to avoid this

New player to match the new year. I got about a third of the way through this before something else distracted me. This is more of a quick blast game than Fire Emblem is, so I thought the time was right to start again. So, I’ve done the first few areas and come across the

Chapter 3 complet0rised. Pretty easy, really – sneak in, gubb the bandits, make off with the goodies. Still, this is all still tutorial territory, really. Later that day……. Chapter 4 defeat0red. Loads of nastie beasties were coming at me from all sides, and it was pretty tricky to balance my little gang so that the

Back to Fire Emblem. I’ve started again because Easy mode was a bit, well, easy. Things aren’t much tougher on Normal, to be honest – the only real difference is in the lack of hints. Any RPG which gives you a Paladin as a starting character isn’t going to be hugely tricky. The challenge, of
