Since I was far too young to have seen such filth before, this was the first time I’d ever watched Porky’s. I was under the impression it was sort of like American Pie, only from the 80s. I was part right. It is like American Pie (in fact, one of the writers of American Pie has signed up to co-write a Porky’s remake, apparently), but like American Pie crossed with Happy Days and Grease. I had no idea it was …
Yes, after 15 and a bit months, I’m still working through this. And now, I have just FOUR puzzles remaining! So, almost there! Yay!
Seems like the iPod games store on iTunes has had quite a few games added recently that I hadn’t noticed. So I bought a few: Trivial PursuitIt’s the same game as you’d expect, only with multiple choice answers. And it’s pretty good, even if my wife did beat me (it has multiplayer) and the questions are too US-based. I don’t know anything about baseball or basketball! I mean, they’re not even proper sports! And since the only two books referenced …
Played this a lot yesterday and today, culminating in a 100% completion this afternoon. Although I’ve played it a few times before (on the N64), I never, ever, managed to defeat the final boss. Today, however, I did – and after only 4 or 5 attempts! She was still hard, but for some reason I found it very easy on my successful attempt, losing hardly any life at all (and none until the final Jinjonator bit). So, complete! I still …
You know, even though I’d not seen this before, the number of take-off and parodies I’d seen in things like The Simpsons and Family Guy made it feel like it was a repeat. Of course, I didn’t really know the plot (and there were a few twists in it anyway), but I started thinking to myself – “this is the bit where…”. Which I suppose is testament to it’s classic film status, really. There are a few jarring special effects …
I’ve been playing quite a few different things on my Wii today: CubelloI’m up to level 6 (although I’ve not done all of the lettered variants on previous levels) now, and although I can get it down to just a few blocks each time, I can’t complete it. It gives me too few of each colour, and insists on giving me colours I’ve already removed all of, which is annoying. It seems I can only do it if I fluke …
And with very few minutes of the day left, it seems unlikely it will be today. I’ve been telling everyone the baby will actually arrive exactly on time, but it would appear I am wrong. Of course, I didn’t say which time zone, so it’s still possible…
It took about 5 or 6 hours in total, but I’ve completed World of Goo. And what a lovely game it was too – clever, original, fun and funny. The levels were varied, some were incredibly difficult, and the “narration” by the mysterious sign painter was often hilarious. And it was weird. Really weird. Especially the bit in the Information Superhighway.
I’m all for dancing Japanese girls, but this ad campaign for a clothing range is… strange. Just watch:
Bought this today, as it looked fun and I had a big pile of points on my Wii. And it is fun. And great. And amazing. Who knew sticking balls together would be so good? It isn’t just the levels which are fun (and amazingly varied, considering the premise of the game) either – there’s a sort of toy bit, where you can use all your superfluous “goo balls” to build a giant tower. And see how tall a tower …
Clanker’s Cavern finished 100%! Gloop Gloop Swamp finished 100%! Freez-eazy Peak finished 90%! Two more Lair jiggys GET! Um. And that’s it. It is very good, but I’m sure it feels much smaller than it did first time through. The levels are actually tiny.
Unlocked, found, started, played and completed all of Clanker’s Cavern today. That took the best part of an hour! I also found another jiggy in Gruntilda’s Lair, and then made a start (and an almost-finish) of the swamp level – finding 9 of the 10 jiggies. I think I know where the 10th is too, so that shouldn’t take long.
It’s a good job this awful, awful game was free, as it took me just 20 minutes to complete both game modes and rack up all 200 gamerpoints. Stupid.
