Round up round up round up! Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate (Wii U) Closing in on 60 hours played now. SIXTY. Between this and Animal Crossing, I’m really not going to finish off many other games this year. I seem to find myself playing mainly online these days. Hunting a monster in a team, regardless of which monster, who the team is, or even what rank everyone is, is always fun. Entering a room and everyone remarking on your rank and then …
Amiga
Amiga Emulation There are only really two main (free) Amiga emulators. From experience, I’ve found that UAE has the most features and highest compatibility. There is also Fellow, if UAE isn’t for you. UAE is a portable emulator, with flavours for pretty much all operating systems. On Windows XP, I use WinUAE, as it very simple to use with a great GUI. On my Mac, I use E-UAE, which is based on the same code but doesn’t yet have an …
Canis Canem Edit (PS2)
With the nerds totally won over (again), we set about taking out the jocks. This mainly involved humiliating them to varying degrees (taking pictures of a cheerleader in the shower, gluing the american footballers to a bench, etc.) and eventually I had to take out the entire team on the field. Which was alarmingly easy. And then Chapter 5! And it’s all gone wrong. All the gangs hate me (again), and I had to do something to help each one. …
Resurrecting the Amiga
Having fiddled around with WinUAE (an Amiga emulator for Windows) a little this week, I realised that I probably still had a load of stuff I’d like to have another look at, and maybe archive properly, on my old Amiga 1200. It’s been stuck up in the attic, unused for the last 6 or 7 years, and I wasn’t sure it was even going to work. The plan was to get the information off the hard drive using either a …
Tony Hawk’s American Sk8land (GBA): COMPLETED!
I’ve been playing this a fair bit today, and would you believe it – I was only about ten goals away from completing it when my game was wiped! Argh! Anyway. I unlocked everywhere again, and had to do “five old-school lines”, which I’d previously found three of accidently. Basically, there are pairs of “stickers” on each of the five levels, which denote the start and end of the lines. I was stuck with the one in the School for …
Tony Hawk’s American Sk8land (GBA)
I’ve now unlocked Vans and San Francisco, and have completed loads more goals. Some have been a bit irritating (“Oh no! I’ve lost all my tools and nuts and screws and nails and stuff! Find them for me across these four areas!!!11” in particular), and some have been too hard requiring me to up my stats before trying again (such as the liptrick-the-big-blue-thing). I’m a bit stuck in San Francisco now, as I have to do some kind of special …
Animal Crossing: Wild World
72 bells! Nook is a crook, I tell you. I bet him and Joan are having a right giggle at me behind my back. Hate them. Planted a few apple trees and dug up a fossil. Also bought a blue Nintendo bench for 120 bells from Nook, simply because it said “Nintendo” on it.
