Muhh – watched this last night. Well, we had to really – after watching Jurassic Park and all. God, the dialogue in this movie is dreadful 🙂 I mean, in the original it was reasonable, with the exception of Sam Jackson’s Liscene(sp?) speech, but in Lost World it’s a never ending stream of techno-babble blurted

Best Metroid Game EVAR. Ahem. Let’s see – five hours in – VARIA SUIT GET! HIGH JUMP GET! WAVE BEAM GET! SPEED BOOST GET! 120 MISSILES GET! FOUR ENERGY UNITS GET! SOME OTHER STUFF I’VE FORGOTTEN GET! Oh no! Ridley’s spacecraft has landed and I have a funny feeling I’m very soon going to be

Muhh! Big Green Froggy Dragonny Thing Pwn0r3d! One boss down and it’s yielded a speed boost upgrade. Which is nice. I have a cool 85 missile capacity but only two energy units and I still haven’t found a charge beam. So, before I do much else, it’s exploring I go to try and rake together

Mission 12 is an evil git. Basically, I’ve to pick a squad of five (given that I only currently have five chars, it’s not tough), equip them and then defend the base from an invasion. First attempt I made resulted in a humiliating massacre. The enemies are all invading from the North and I made

I just know this is going to irk the purists, but then what are purists for if not irking, eh? Finished this last night. Well, I actually finished it about twenty years ago, but I saw it on the shelf and thought – ‘ohhhh, I liked that as a lad, I’ll read it again’. What

“so what?” you ask. Nowt. I’m just saying. I’ve added a ‘Books’ category to the blog. Given that I spend more time every day reading than playing games (no, really!) and I finish more books than games (even the bad ones) I thought I may as well. I’m not going to attempt to populate it
