Gah! I tried for two hours to get a second Chewnicorn into my garden, feeding them over 60 gems (that’s 60×360=21600 coins worth), when I could have just got Gretchem to catch me another in minutes for around 10000 coins. Anyway. Finally, managed it, and romanced them too. While all that gem eating was going on, I set about breeding Flutterscotches. Got the Master Breeder award for Black, Yellow and Red ones, and made a start on getting some Blues. …
I started today on level 59, and finished on 64. The main contributing factors to this were the Horstashio romancing, followed by the Zumbug romancing, and then the appearance and residence of a Chewnicorn! I got one as I had grown a gem tree, was a Master Romancer for Horstashios, and fed it 15 gems. 15! Lawks. Sent and received a load of pinatas today as well, mainly remnants of my breeding frenzy. Someone sent me a Crawla, which was …
Ace! I got a Horstashio in my garden, and by feeding it loads of apples, it decided to stay! Not that I kept it for long, as watching an episode of the TV series had showed me that feeding them a blackberry and a daisy turned them into a Zumbug. So I did that! Now I have a Zumbug to play with. However, Zumbugs and Horstashios fight, so I’ve posted it to myself whilst I set about breeding Horstashios. And …
The breedathon continues! Firstly, I bred a load of Barkbarks, then Ponockys, and then some other pinata species I’d previously had resident but hadn’t romanced for some reason. Then I went back to my water garden and set about Master Romancing my Salamangos, and since I had a fully grown oak tree, I tried to coax a Eaglair in. Without success. Bah.
It’s just Pac-Man only more “free flow, yo”, isn’t it? Not that it matters, as I bought it for 400 points anyway. Only played it for about 10 minutes, but that was long enough to rack up 7 achievements. Go me! I never really “got” Rally-X before. I think it’s one of those arcade games somewhat forgotten in the UK. I certainly don’t recall ever seeing it in the arcades, and it was only because of emulators I even knew …
Haven’t played this in a while. My Wii came along and my 360 pretty much got forgotten. But I’ve been meaning to get back into Viva Pinata, so I did. Today was filled with breeding. I managed to become Master Romancer for about 8 different species, including Kittyfloss and Syrupents, and also made (and Master Romanced) Lackatoads, Twingersnaps, and Four Heads. The result of all this was that I got three achievements – one for reaching Level 50 (I’m at …
Even though I’ve completed it, I’m still drawn to rolling stuff up. Not least because completing it seems to have unlocked new levels. For starters, there’s the roll-people-up-with-the-Sun bit from during the game credits, which I managed 58 on. Slightly better than 1, which I got the other day. Then there’s another where you have to roll up all the countries in the world, starting with the small ones. You actually have to know your geography to do this, as …
Well, I wasn’t going to buy this until after I’d done all three GBA Castlevania games, but it seems I did. Oh well. It’s pretty good. Better than I remember it (which is good), but not really as good as recent 2D outing in the series. Anyway. I’ve killed two bosses, and I’m now on level 3-1. I think.
Dragons SLAIN! Hurrah! I found a pattern I could stick to that made them much easier to kill and dodge, and so they were soon dead. And then it was off on another wander around the castle opening areas I couldn’t previously get to, since I can now push big crates out of the way. Found some more HP/MP/heart upgrades, and then wandered into an area full of Ice Armour baddies and some sort of acid water. Eurgh.
A group of friends whiled away the evening running up to New Year by playing on the Wii. Mostly Wii Sports (and on that, mostly baseball and bowling), but also a bit of Rayman Raving Rabbids. It was all ace, and was the first time I’d played two player boxing and tennis. Both roxxored. And there’s my final entry for the year. How exciting!
