Wow. It’s been ages since I played this. I’d completely forgotten I had it, actually. Played both games for a while today, netting myself a few more achievements in the process, and totally annihilating The Rev’s scores. Well, some of his scores anyway. It seems to be a lot easier than last time I played it – Millipede especially. I don’t know why that is.
Aha! Mr The Rev is DEFEATORIZED on the Centipede score table! Only just, though. My new score of 32,000-ish also puts me 81st in the world. Which isn’t too shabby. Had a go on “Throttle Monkey” mode then, which is basically the same, only you need 15,000 points to get an extra life instead of 12,000. Oh, and the game plays 6000% faster, making my score of 5,600 hard fought. Things did not go well for me on Millipede either. …

And it was on XBLA at that magic I’ll Buy …
You know that thing you do where you completely forget you own a Vita? It’s pretty easy to do, as it is somewhat forgettable. Well, I did that. I was sat wracking my brains, trying to remember which games I’d started fairly recently but not finished, and all I could come up with were a few 3DS and Wii U games. I was convinced there were more than that. And of course there were – I’d forgotten about my Vita. …
A lot of things, it seems. I’ve had a glut of new games over the last month and I’ve been playing each for a short time. I’ve yet to settle down and just work on one or two, so I’ve not made much progress in each. So here’s a list, in no particular order: Duke Nukem 3D: Megaton Edition (Vita) My subscription to PS+ was autorenewed before I could cancel it (the whole service got DDOS’d and I couldn’t log …
