Having another spot of gaming ennui. Hardly playing anything these days. I think I may have to give myself a boost by playing through RE4 on hard 🙂 Had a shot of Final Fantasy X last night – it’s a lot prettier than I remember it being. The voice acting is, of course, still absolutely

Wind Element GET! By God, that big manta ray stylee dungeon boss was tough! Still, the element has been get0red, and it’s back to Hyrule Castle where….. oh no! It’s all taken a turn for the sinister! A nice little cutscene where all the Zelda stuff we already knew was going to happen unfolds before

Been having a two-up play through of this today, with Matthew and Tristan alternating on the Tingle Tuner. They drive me nuts, but at the same time, add a really fun dimension to the game. Just done about 80% of the Forbidden Forest dungeon, making sure that we get every single treasure chest and hidden

Why is it that the above title fits so many kids these days? There’s a particularly repellent little reptile who lives across the road from us who only seems to be able to express himself by destroying things. As an example, my four year old daughter drew a little picture and stuck it on the

w00t! Destroyed the seperatists ship, so onto next area. Done: short outdoor Geonisis area. Longer indoor geonosis area. Short derelict indoor area. Short Kashyyk indoor area. Credits. “What?” you cry? Fecking CREDITS. Game c0mplet0rat0red. 7 hours on the the clock. Seven hours. That’s seven. One more than six and one less than eight. Seven. Big

The bridge is blown in yet another pitched battle. Trundling on, through more corridors, (why is the phrase “you are in a maze of twisty tunnels all alike” spring to mind?) I encountered more Trandashans and blew them up. Then I found some droids and blew them up. Then I found an obstacle blocking my

Sigh. More corridors. And it’s dark. And it’s pouring with rain. For god’s sake, mang! I live in SCOTLAND. Why would I want to play a game about RAIN of all things? Anyway, the action is hotting up – it’s one firefight after another. Nothing to rival Halo or Halo 2, natch, but entertaining non-the-less.

It’s not situated in t’US, courtesy of a very good little hosting company called challengehost.com. Being moveable type, it was very easy to shift without any downtime as well.

Oh, thank god for that! Finally got off Geonosis. The last geonosis level (on the Trade Federation starship) is really annoying cos it involves doing some stuff to a time limit and I *hate* time limits. Anyhoo, I’ve now found myself in a decidedly spooky Mynoc infested derelict, creeping about (without my squadmates) looking for
