I haven’t played this for, oooh, over a year, but I got the new one for Christmas and OCD dictates that the previous title must be exorcised of all puzzles before the new one may commence. So that’s what I was doing this evening. I don’t know how many puzzles there are in total, but I’ve now done 129 of them, as well as a few more tea set requests. No idea where the other puzzles are though.
900/1000 points GET! That’s just one achievement left now – 100% the game. I’m at just under 90%, and to 100% it I need to do at least two things: 1) Replay every level in Super Story Mode, completing each chapter in under an hour. 2) Replay every level in Challenge Mode, where I have to collect all of the blue minikits, which are hidden, in under 10 minutes per level. So, being positive and assuming I do all that …
The other day I posted a cryptic picture of a bit of an online Asda order, but didn’t explain it. Of course, some of you guessed: I had indeed ordered a 3DS. And two games. Ssshh! It’s a secret to everybody! You (as in, James Luff) may be wondering how I pulled off this cheeky stunt with the £18 Rule in full effect. Well, here’s how. Warning! May contain maths: Base cost of 3DS on Asda’s website: £217 Cost of …

Since the release of the original Game Boy Advance, I’ve leapt on every Nintendo console on (or before!) launch. Why should this change with the release of Nintendo’s new 3D fancy DS followup? Answer: it shouldn’t. And here’s 5 reasons why I’ll be getting one on release day: 5. The games. If you believe, they will come. The same is always true of Nintendo consoles. New Super Mario Bros, Professor Layton, Ouendan, Hotel Dusk, Another Code, Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow. …
When the Game Boy Advance came out, I was there. Day one. New console, imported from Japan. MINE. Gamecube? Queued up at silly-o’clock in the morning outside Game. GBA SP? Day one. DS? Imported from Japan. DS Lite? Day one pre-order. Wii? Freezing December queue. I’ve never bothered with any other consoles on release – only Nintendo ones since 2000. So why not the same with the 3DS? Here’s 5 reasons why: 5. £££ £229 is a lot of money. …
Bit of a slog this, innit? Not that I mind, as I’m enjoying it, but there’s a lot of OCD game here. I’m up to about 75% complete, but still have most of the levels still to do at least twice more, and all of them to do at least once more, as well as a few bonus levels and other stuff. Another 15+ hours to go – easy.
AD 2031… When Governments no longer govern, and corporate giants hold the power, who can the people trust?
Not sure how, but for some reason I have -1298407765 days left to activate XP. Best get on that, then. Posted via email from deKay’s posterous
My first Lego game was the original Lego Star Wars. I played it to completion, but never got OCD about it and didn’t even come close to doing everything do-able in the game (getting True Jedi, all the minikits, characters, etc.) but I did enjoy it. Then I got, played, completed and 100%ed Lego Indiana Jones. And Lego Batman. And Lego Indiana Jones 2. I wanted to go back to Lego Star Wars but some of the achievements are utterly …
One of the things I certainly never did when I was at high school was play games on the Acorn computers at lunchtime when we weren’t allowed to do so. And one of those games I certainly never played was called Lander. Lander was a free game that came on one of the RISC OS disks, and was, in fact, a demo of a bigger game called Zarch. Imagine my surprise when I found out that Zarch was actually an …
I get some amazing comment spam on this blog and my Gaming Diary. It almost seems a shame that Akismet swallows it all up before you lovely fellows get a chance to see it. Thankfully, they’re all still archived away – so here are some of my favourites, sanitised so as not to be actual spam any more. I know this is off topic but what should I study in the autumm 2011 -? any advice pls email me ? …
One of our virtual servers, which runs Apache and serves up a booking database, had been having intermittent network issues. It would be working fine for a few hours, or days, and then would “drop off” the network. Rebooting the host server fixed it for a while, but then it happened again. It’s odd, as another VM running on the same VMWare (2.0.2) server was seemingly fine. Anyway, it turns out the issue is due to VMWare not liking the …
Probably the most important animation in cinematic history. Probably. Try not to cry.
