Legend of Zelda – Twilight Princess (Wii)

Welcome to my shiny little site, all of my own! Anyway, only had a very brief go of Zelda last night – had a little wander around the haunted desert prisony place and killed a big ghostie thing but lost track of where the other three went and don’t know what to do next. Ho

Off at a tangent

Ok, we’re having a slight shift around. 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

I did, naturally, play Anno today, but if I blogged every time I picked it up I’d spend 50% of my life blogging and the other 50% playing Anno, so would clearly die of malnutrition. So I’m not going to say anything about it and talk, instead, about Zelda. So, I’m in the water temple,

Anno 1701 (DS)

And so another lunch hour is mercilessly devoured by Anno. I’m on Chapter 3 mission 8 (still) where I’ve formed a pretty successful colony (but need….. more…. land…!) and am building a small fleet to head out and attack the pirate’s home island. Trouble is, upgrading warships and troops at the academy is expensive –
