Isn’t is amazing how, having posted on a forum just a week ago asking if it was possible to stream music from my Mac to my phone over the internet, that I stumble across Subsonic? OK, so it isn’t click-and-work simple to get up and running. And, I can’t actually get it to stream to my phone (yet) – but I can stream to computers, browse my library, create playlists and so on! Other issues so far include being unable …
I thought this for £13 was a bargain from Asda the other day. Until I saw it for £9.98 in Blockbuster this weekend. Oh well. After milking Lego Batman for everything it had, I moved onto Mirror’s Edge. It’s really good too, if somewhat hard and disorientating. It isn’t making me feel sick (like many have found), it’s just I get lost easily and even though there’s a button to look at where you’re supposed to go, that doesn’t help. …
100% completed! Hurrah! This week I’ve been pecking at the remaining minikits, which for some reason were mostly on the Penguin levels – both hero and villain. The last minikit I got was by far the most difficult in the game. Harder than the whole of the rest of the game put together (erm, even though the rest of the game was very, very easy…). You have to slide down an icy slope, through 5 gates. Only you can’t jump, …
A policeman came and knocked on my door today. He wanted to ask me a few questions. He asked if I was [my name], and I said yes. Then he asked if I had anything to do with [local football club]. Obviously not! It was very odd. Apparently, there was an incident at said club yesterday, and they needed to question someone else who has my (pretty uncommon, especially locally) name, but I’m the only person in Norfolk with my …

This morning I sent an email to everyone at work: To: All Staff Subject: Paying for internet access after Easter As you’re aware, money is tight next year. To make things worse, our school internet connection costs have increased – mainly because we are now metered, and have to pay-per-site rather than per-month. It’s a bit like having Pay As You Go rather than a monthly contract on your mobile. In consultation with a working party of staff, it has …
A list of all the games (from Wikipedia, sorry) and some indepth reviews of each title: Alex Kidd in the Enchanted Castle – great! Alien Storm – rubbish! Alien Syndrome (arcade) – OK! Altered Beast – rubbish! Bonanza Bros. – OK! Columns – Not as good as the Master System version! Comix Zone – great but hard! Decap Attack – amazing! Dr. Robotnik’s Mean Bean Machine – great! Dynamite Headdy – not as good as it used to be! ESWAT: …
92.6% done, apparently. I’ve got all the power bricks from all the Hero missions, most of those from the Villain missions, all bar about 3 of the minikit pieces from the Hero missions, and about half of those from the Villain missions. I’ve also got a few people to rescue on various levels, and I just know I’m going to get frustrated on the ice-slide section of one of The Penguin’s levels.
The last 5 levels were far, far harder than I recall them being on the iPod version, you know. I ended up fluking two of them! Anyway, completed now. Yay!
One of the achievements for the Megadrive Collection on the 360 required the completion of this game. In fact, it’s the only achievement that actually requires you to complete a game. So I completed it. Strangely, Dr Robotnik (or Eggman, as he’s properly called) was actually easier than the three or four preceding opponents, as I beat him first attempt.
I could say this is completed, as today I unlocked the last of the achievements. However, it isn’t really a game like that – it’s lots of games, and I only completed one of those – see next post. This really is a great package. Some thoughts on other games I’ve played since Monday on it:Robotnik’s Mean Bean Machine (excellent), Decap Attack (amazing), Story of Thor (not as good as Zelda), Fatal Labyrinth (an amazing surprise – never played it …
This was a far-too-cheap-to-miss £13 in Asda today, so it was rude not to buy it. So I bought it. It’s a great package, actually. There are 40-odd Megadrive games (all with save-states), and then unlockable other games (like the arcade version of Altered Beast). So far I’ve played Alex Kidd (good), Altered Beast (rubbish as always), Flicky (amazing), Comix Zone (fantastic but bloody hard), Ristar (fiddly), and Columns (not as good as the Master System version).
I’ve now played through all the Hero missions again, bar three (I think) and got all of the Power Bricks and Minikit bits in them all. Pretty much, anyway. I’m still to work through the rest of the Villain missions though, and I’ve also got 200 achievement points yet to unlock too. I think I’ll get most of them all at the same time, though, once I’ve 100%ed the game. Currently I’m at around 85% done!
