BOW GET! I’m not officially in the Fortress of Wind, after much squelching about in a muddy bog of doom. Found a novel way to gubb some Big Iron Blokes by miniaturising myself and then, well, popping inside and switching them off. Fab. So, this evening’s bounties consisted of: One pair of boots of incredible

FIRE ELEMENT GET!! That’s the fire cave dungeon – one dungeon down, three million to go. Minish Cap is everything that’s ACEBEST about Zelda – interesting dungeons, tricky timing bits, and hugely entertaining bosses. All in a handy little pocket sized unit. Fab 🙂 The fire cave has it all – floating about on hurricanes

This game caused my DS and I to have a bit of a falling out. You see, it’s really really good. So good, in fact, that it tends to get played in extended sessions. It was during one of these sessions (climbing the mountain) that I discovered that the DS – while a great little

Well, Mac OS 10.4 is out – so what’s it like? In a word, lovely. One minor hiccup is that my SpeedTouch 330 USB ADSL modem no longer works but as it’s a huge resource hog at the best of times this isn’t a great loss. Spotlight is the thing that’s grabbed me the most

Gogs and Tony duke it out at long last. Big Gogs’s evil plan is revealed in all its Machiavellian glory. Or something.

I once had opportunity to visit a strange old lady who swore blind she could nasally extrude ectoplasm. She’d sit there, in the dark, rocking gently, and then whoop loudly, causing me to leap in the air. Invisible to all eyes except hers, a languid ectoplasmic tentacle would peer from her snout and poke around

Ok, so I wasn’t going to play anything from the Episode III bits until I’d seen the movie, because I didn’t want any spoilers. Then, I had an epiphany. Hang on, thought I – it’s a George Lucas movie. What am I going to spoil? Bad dialogue and predictable plots? I doubt it. Why do

It’s an interesting thing. Banjo Kazooie is better than Doom 3. In fact, it’s better the most current generation games. I’ve spent far too long on it today, but it’s just such a great game with a brilliant mechanic that it can’t be helped. Also, I’ve never completed it and – as Debbie picked up

As I was walking to the wash-house one day, I happened upon a little man pushing a very large cart. I approached him and noticed his particularly leathery visage, which seemed to fit very well with his miniature stature.. “Good Morning,” I said. “Good Morning yourself,” he replied. “If you will pardon my curiosity,” I

Completed this ages ago but I still tend to pop back every once in a while for a wee go. On the toughest difficulty it’s not bad. Basically, it’s a third person medieval slash em up. It’s also amusing as well – I know quite a few Templars and the thought of any of them
