Oh my God! I never realised! It’s BORING lessons that kids skive off from, not INTERESTING ones! In the name of all that’s holy, how much money was squandered on this research project? More to the point, what are they going to be “revealing” next? “Bread and Cheese linked to Cheese Toasties”? “Driving Cars linked

ZOMG! I’ve hit a sweet spot! I’m on chapter 11 and have to find three parts of a treasure map. I need to trade with some Indians to get one part and they want Ostrich feathers. Only bloke with Ostrich farms is an enemy so I need to conquer his island. Which means I have

I quite like this – it’s the usual quest-based RPG fare, but the addition of CPU henchmen means you don’t have to spend and time whatsoever with dribbling noobs. Especially handy as each of the AI henchmen seems to know how to play their class, which is more than can be said for the common

Desert dungeon complete! And what a beautiful piece of design it was too – not too long and quite episodic. The first section revolved around tracking down a series of Poes so much changing to and fro between Wolf and Human form (which I can do at will now, incidentally) was required. This led me

Gaaaah! They weren’t joking when they said it was hard, were they? All five of us have had a go and Tristan, our in-house SMB expert has managed to get the furthest by almost getting out of world 1-2. Umm. This is going to require some practice.

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

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

This is simply breathtaking. Global warming is causing the Arctic ice to melt at a much faster rate than expected, with the net result being that it is now possible to sail from the Atlantic to the Pacific via the polar shortcut, and the water is clear and open all the way. And how are

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

Outstanding! Chewing gum that doesn’t stick, researched at great expense by the world’s top scientists! Presumably, it’s stage one of a long running project to create fewer sticky substances that cause researchers heads to be stuck up their backsides, resulting in more time spent working on ways to avoid impending extinction by global warming! ps
