Gaaaaah! I’m out of healing staves. I don’t have any space to carry stuff without throwing away other stuff. I’m just about to encounter an end of area boss (I have a nose for these things). The arbitrary limitations placed upon the player by this combat engine is frustrating in the extreme….. yet I’m still

Our first correspondence from the Department of Immigration in Adelaide. Our application has been received. The covering letter explains the ‘how long is a piece of string’ process to come – essentially, between one and four months we’ll be contacted to let us know we’ve been assigned a case officer. Sometime in the one to

Well, having got my little gang safely inside Narshe, it was time to tackle Sabin’s scenario to find out what he’d been up to ater falling out the boat. Well, he’s made a new friend – Shadow – who happens to have l33t n1nj0r skillz!!11!one! (ahem). He also has a big doag that he occasionally

Owf! I have a siberian husky called William! My youngest lad’s doag ran away because he hadn’t fed it for about a month, so I’ve sneaked a go of his copy of Nintendogs (purely for research, you understand) and it’s ACESEXBEST. Right now, William can answer to his own name, sit, and eat a lot.

Well, after my love-hate relationship went through a lost-forest-shaped hate arc, I finally got out of the section in question and it’s back to love again. I think. It’s bizarre – on the one hand, I can’t make up my mind if I actually like the game or not, but on the other I’m still

Well, I found rhe Returner hideout and had a little confab with my little gang. Then I had a very exciting adventure on a little raft, which ended up in three people heading back to Narshe, someone being washed out in the rapids and another going to delay the empire by infiltrating a camp. I

Finally broken the ennui enough to fire up the PS2. I picked up where I left off, skulking in a little village to the south of the starting point. Had a quick gallop about on a chocobo before heading off for the Kolts mountain where I auto-crossbowed a large number of nasty beasties before confronting

Having a bit of a love affair with this operating system just now. I’ve been using Linux in various guises since 1994 or thereabouts, but moved to FreeBSD at work and Macs at home a few years back. A good friend of mine introduced me to Ubuntu before buggering off back to Germany a few

 This was the second game I bought for my first Gameboy Advance, several years ago. I remember thinking at the time that it was a pretty vast game to be stuffed onto a tiny little cartridge. In the end, I clocked well over a hundred hours on it but, as I’d missed some side

Well, except Mario Kart, obviously. I’m suffering from gaming ennui just now.
