For a while now, I’ve been considering moving away from Blogger and transferring my blog to WordPress. As it stands, I have a Blogger account using a customised “old-style” Blogger template (no widgets and gadgets and fancy stuff) which uploads via SFTP to my site. Thing is, I’m now finding the lack of a few things such as “next” and “prev” page links, tag clouds, and so on a bit of a limitation these days. I’ve installed WordPress and tried …
That’s two games in one day! Amazing! After test 18, you managed to escape from the testing chambers, although I won’t say how or what happens afterwards, but when you finally defeat the end of game boss (with hilarious running commentary from the boss itself), you get the credits. Credits with the best ending song ever. Which I can’t say as it’s a spoiler. But AMAZING. And! CAKE! Yay!
You might say “What? Already? What a short and/or easy game!”, and you’d be wrong. You see, like Mario 64 and Mario Sunshine before it (in fact, like virtually every Mario game, actually) just beating Bowser at the end is The End as such. You only need 60 stars to do that, “win” the game and see the credits. So with that many, I beat the boss and completed the game. But that’s only half the stars! Now there’s the …
No, I have no idea why the “The Orange Box” box goes pink when you resize it to the thumbnail you see on the left. Most odd. Since I don’t want to complete Mario Galaxy too quickly, I’ve decided to play something else for a bit. Yeah, I know I have Phantom Arsegas and Shadow of a Colostomy on the go at the moment, but, well, this arrived yesterday and everyone says it’s ace and I’m weak. What I don’t …
46 stars! And so many things that I found ace! I can’t even begin to begin… and I don’t want to spoil things for people as they come across stuff for the first time, because everything is so special. But I will say that finding Luigi was amazing. The giant toy robot? Amazing. The Bowser boss battles with the Mario 64 boss style levels (and music!) – amazing. Look, the WHOLE BLOODY GAME is amazing. If you disagree (and only …
I am now 23 stars in, and, so far, I haven’t had a single thing I didn’t like. I did worry that the whole gravity-on-small-planets thing might detract from the game in some way, but it really doesn’t – it just feels like a natural progression from Mario 64. An extra dimension, if you will. And it’s all just so… fantastic!
AMAZING. Perhaps you’d like a bit more in the way of detail? You don’t need any – that covers it. I have 7 stars, have played for a few hours, and love it. Although I love Mario Sunshine, it never really felt like a proper follow-up to Mario 64. Too much of it was removed from the former game – the location, the Piantas, the shines-not-stars, the FLUDD, and so on. It was a great game, and I’ll have none …
SUPER. MARIO. GALAXY. HERE. IN MY HOUSE. EDIT: To answer two questions РYes, it is ACEBEST. And yes, it was under ¬£25.
Two more ColossususuueusuzezZ slaughtered today. First up was a flying one, which although ACE to actually kill, was a real pain to get on the back of. Not because he was hard though – just because he’s flying around a lake, and you have to swim to bits that you can stand on before you can attract his attention. Thing is, swimming is slooooooow, so the fight took ages (as I fell off a few times). Next up was a …
Someone just shut down my Mac mini. Without asking. I managed to take a screen grab of my carefully cultivated uptime as it slowly faded away, to begin again as a mere single figure day count. And I was so close to 93 days as well. Bah. Suggestions for things to slip in her tea gratefully received via the comments…
Then reading this may be a good thing. Or a bad thing. It’s a big comparison table of “nutritional values” of food from popular US fast food “restaurants”. You know, like McDonalds and that. Most disturbing is a “Carl’s Jr. Double Six Dollar Burger”, which has a staggering 1520 calories and 111g fat. And that’s before you add the fries and drink do doubt ordered at the same time. 111g of fat! That’s like, half a packet of butter! Fast …
A good thing about this game is that it’s perfectly suited for short gaming sessions. I’ve killed four Colossi now, and none of them have taken very long (as can be seen by my 1h17m play time so far, and 15 minutes of that was trying to find Colossus number 4). Number 4 had me scratching my head for a while (long enough for Spooky Disembodied Voice to give me a useless clue), but then I realised he would try …
It seems to be some sort of skit of the new EA Need for Speed: ProStreet game, only in Romania. With Ladas. At least, I think it’s a skit. Or an advert. Or just crazy European nonsense. Or something.
Amazingly, this arrived just a few days before I completed Ico, so I thought, while I’m waiting for Super Mario Galaxy to arrive, I’d give it a go. Also, I’m more likely to spot any subtle links between this and Ico if I play it now rather than in six years time… So far, I’ve watched the lengthy opening cinematic(s), and killed myself a couple of Colossi (which I’m not certain is the right word for multiple Colossuses but my …
