Paper Mario (Wii VC)

Well, fuelled by the knowledge that there’s a new paper mario game out that I’m not buying until I’ve completed some of the $hlmun of games I’ve yet to play, I had another go. So, I finally ganked the Invincible Tubba Blubba and made my way back to toad town. After a particularly silly and

Ubuntu + mpd + Jinzora + Hi-Fi == ACE

Ok, so here’s the problem: I have a decrepit old PC that I need to find a job for or it’s destined to sit on a scrapheap biodegrading over the next 10,000 years. We don’t have room to have all our CDs anywhere near handy so have to listen to our music on the computer

Zangband

I had a fairly extensive Angband addiction for more years than I care to remember and I’ve inadvertently stumbled onto it again. And it’s just as evil and unforgiving as it ever was, but also just as ACE. It never ceases to amaze me how much depth and complexity can lie beneath the surface of

That incorrigible reprobate, Sir Chewbury Gubbins, has been filling this here blog with so many postings that we’ve insisted he takes his tweed cap and wanders off to his own website. So, from this day forth, the Chewbury Gubbins game diary lives on its own silly little domain,

Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (Wii)

Ok, so I’m 24 hours and 5 minutes into the game. And BANG! I have the Master Sword, the music starts, the storyline blooms and all of a sudden it’s not just Zelda, but it’s the most ACE Zelda ever! I’ve crossed a desert, heading to a haunted prison, and stormed a goblin camp. Up

Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (Wii)

Well, that session was just chock full of those moments that make a Zelda game special. So much so, in fact, that my rants about last night’s boss battle are nothing but a distant memory and all is forgiven. Without giving away any plot specifics, something unexpected and a little shocking happened between Midna and
