Finished the last few levels on World 4, and then moved on to completing most of World 5 too. There’s not long left now! I’d have played for longer this evening, but the battery in my PSP lasts 4 hours – or less – so I have to keep charging it. Conclusive proof the PSP is a modern-day Game Gear 🙂
I’ve just had a call on my mobile, from the number 01792 828105. Which looks suspiciously similar to 01792 828103, don’t you think? As in, the number of a company that rang a couple of weeks ago trying to scam me over a new phone or contract or rabbits or something – I can’t really remember as I wasn’t interested. Surprise surprise, looking up 01792 828105 on WhoCallsMe? confirms it. It’s “Mobiles For You” (with or without a “4” and/or …
I’ve been spotted again! This time someone who knows me through work was behind my Face of Gorm on a bus, somewhere near Lowestoft in (as you can see) Sunny Suffolk. Mud on my face!
Another 20 minutes today. I’ve unlocked a couple more games today too – the penguin-feeding one and the fantastic Rhythm Boxing.
Today I worked through most of World 4, not finding it especially difficult. Of course, getting a perfect score on each and every level is a life’s work, but I don’t think I’ll be doing that. It’s too frustrating, as sometimes a mis-jump takes you past a point you can’t return to without trying the level again.
Another 20-odd minutes on this tonight. I didn’t get a chance to play yesterday, so should really have made a bit more effort today, but anyway. Did the jogging thing again, this time chasing after the dog what runs past you. This altered the course a little, but was a nice touch. Also beat my previous scores on Hula Hooping and That Game Where You Tilt Balls Into Holes. The new Yoga pose I’d unlocked (Palm Tree) was hard, as …
Bought this at the weekend (although not for me), and gave it a quick go this evening. It’s… very odd. You play noughts and crosses, with each square being a monkey-infested minigame. Kind of like single-player Mario Party. With monkeys. It was pretty good, although I did only complete the first “level” of the academy.
I’ve been spotted! My friend Ian just emailed me this amazing picture, taken in Kings Lynn today. I especially like the bit where it lies about my place of birth (I’m from oop North, not Norfolk). I’m the bloke on the advert on the right, not the car.
Yesterday, I came across a Mac program called Bento. It’s a database application made by the Filemaker bods, and instantly interested me because a database application is the only thing I still need Windows for in day-to-day use. It’s also very cheap – around ¬¨¬£25. I downloaded the demo, and had a bit of a play last night. It basically works just like the form designer in Access, but rather than having to create the fields in a table first, …
Play Asia have a PAL-playable, English language, Asian 360 version of Grand Theft Auto IV in stock for just under ¬¨¬£33. OK, so it isn’t a huge bargain, but it’s the cheapest price I can find at the moment. Bargain GTA IV
Yay! I managed to ace the Step Aerobics game! Well, not ace as such, but I did only get one miss. And I scraped a few more seconds off my Tightrope time, and improved on my Ski Jump score – but still can’t beat my wife. I did, however, thrash her football score of 100 with my amazing score of 234. Ha!
With Katamari done and dusted, I returned to this. Didn’t play for all that long though, but I have now finished off all of World 3. I understand there are five worlds, and with a play time of just over three hours currently, it looks like it’s going to be a pretty short game. But that’s OK – I think it would drag if it was much longer, as although it’s fun and everything, there’s not all that much variety …
So… that’s pretty much it. I’ve completed the few remaining levels (all of which were Volcano Island “strange request” levels), and on every level I’ve managed a reasonable-or-better score, with many levels having a score of 100. I don’t really fancy playing it again for better scores, as each level was almost the same as the last, so I feel I’ve been playing the same level over and over and over already. Besides, the 360 is easier to control, so …
Last night’s episode of Doctor Who had some aliens in it. Sontarans or something. They seemed to be completely oblivious to the fact their spaceship was overheating:
Had a go of this today with my wife, on the Shyguy Train board. Things got off to a bad start for me, as for the first four turns I couldn’t roll higher than a 3, and by turn 8 I was still starless while everyone else had two or three. However, I somehow managed to turn it around, and on the final turn had three stars, beating everyone else. To further prove my superiority, I then won all three …
