The Temple of Bague Wasting bandwidth since 1997 - Now in our 27th wasteful year!

Yesterday, my five year old girl was stung by a wasp at school. She was very upset. Her teacher was unable to give her a hug in case she’s sued. Her teacher was unable to put vinegar on the sting in case she’s sued. As a result, my daughter had to spend an extended period

Bah – the secret passage to the white mask wasn’t where I thought it was. Which stands to reason, given that it wasn’t exactly a secret place. Anyway, I had a wee chat with Paul who did, in fact, know where the passage was and I’m now in a shin new dungeon under the castle.

Back from Paris and what a dreadful, dreadful place that is. Still, a small amount of gameboying was dutifully carried out. I now have a shiny black mask and a cryptic incantation. The mask doesn’t do what I thought it might with the mirror, so I may have to hunt down Paul to have a

And so the saga continues. The Princess has been rescued…. again…. and returned safely to Altair. Rather than hanging about, though, the rebel army has gone and encamped just south of Fynn with a view to re-taking the castle. Or rather, they’ve kept the Imperial army occupied while I went to storm the castle. So,

It’s not every subtitled Japanese movie which is able to hold a seven year old, a nine year old, and a pair of thirty-somethings equally transfixed. Not going to give anything away, but this is a beautiful movie which any manga or Final Fantasy fan owes it to themselves to see. Warning – those who

Argh! Damn you, Square, and your emotional plot twists. The dungeon where the Wyvverns lay their eggs almost drove me nuts. It wasn’t particularly large, but it was complex and I kept getting lost. On top of that, it was hoaching with fiends. It’s taken me hours to get the job done. So, Wyvvern egg

I have a Wyvvern egg. And I need to put it in the Life Spring. So there.

Well, I’m on my hols, but there’s always time for posting to the gaming blog of doom. The Dreadnought is destroymangated at last. Princess has been rescued and all appears to be well, except….. well I need to organise some support for the Armies of Rightness. This will hopefully come in the form of The

Well, the sacrifice wasn’t in vain – I’ve managed to retrieve the torch and transfer some magic fire to it – just. I left the dungeon with one character conscious and with his hitpoints almost totally depleted. The last two floors of the dungeon were beaten with brute force – not a scrap of mana

A nice man called Josef kindly offered me a lift on his snow craft to go and get the Goddess’s Bell, so I can get something to carry some magic fire on. Unsurprisingly, this led to a cavern in the icy wastes to the north. I’m a bit annoyed at Cid being such a self-serving
