So I beat Slash and made it up as far as Satan. Sorry, Lou, not Satan. Pff. And he’s impossible as the notes are completely random and move far too fast for mere humans. Which is probably why he wins, what with not being human and all. It’s a shame, because I’d managed to 4 or 5 star every track leading up to him without too much difficulty. I even mastered hammer-ons and pull-offs, but only for one track, but …
Apparently, they’re Sympathy Dolls and they’re supposed to pathetic. Only they’re not so much pathetic, but… disturbing. Don’t have nightmares!
Rock! Again! This arrived yesterday, but I was out all evening so didn’t give it a play until this evening. I’m not really sure what to say, actually. It’s just more of the same. Sort of. Of course, there’s the new track listing, but I’m finding it somewhat lacking at the moment. There haven’t been many great songs (yet) – no Bowie, nothing like Bark at the Moon or Surrender, and lots of those available I’ve never even heard of …
Tried out today’s Arcade offerings… Gripshift:Um. Am I missing something, or is this just some crap collectathon? In a car? Arkadian Warriors:Like Gauntlet. Sort of. With RPG elements. Seemed quite good, actually. Reminded me of Angband for some reason.
Yes, it does sound rather like a nasty place visiting the top of the Magic Faraway Tree, doesn’t it? Sadly, it seems to be where I’ve been living for the last few weeks. Last weekend, my Virgin Media TV set top box went all wonky and none of the interactive or on-demand thingies on it worked. I managed to fix it myself (turned out it was cables), but we’re so reliant on the Catch Up TV facility that we rarely …
Densetsu no Stafi games are ace, aren’t they? Completely incomprehensable, yes, but amazing nonetheless. And, thanks to a sale at Play Asia, I’m now the proud owner of the first and third games in the series, having completed parts 2 and 4 earlier in the year. In other Exciting Delivery News, Guitar Hero III GET!
I HAVE A DOLPHIN! And, in a rare moment of humour, I named it “John West”. We did some tricks, although I’m not really sure how, and went swimming. Then I took Oldman for another swim to find a clown triggerfish (which we did), and he sent me an email with some gloves as an attachment. I assume I must have printed them out and folded them up to wear them, or something. And then I went and found loads …
I’ve opened up the Bedroom now, and have 28 Weegi stars to my name. I managed to get the wrong star in the Freezeflame Galaxy too, somehow, by going completely the wrong way. I’m pretty sure there were more flying ice blob things and ice bats than with Mario, though. And I was right about Luigi sliding around on the ice more than Mario. It’s like he’s been greased up or something.
Take two pens, a Wii remote and projector, and what do you get? Not only an interative whiteboard, but also a great desk-screen thing with multi-touch capability. Now, we pay about £1750 for a board and projector, and this setup will cost, what, £500? And does more? Amazing.
Ok, so it isn’t that amazing.¬¨‚Ć And it’s not really a phenomenon.¬¨‚Ć Or even a ring.¬¨‚Ć But “The blog” is too terse and pretty non-descriptive. I’ve been noticing an odd thing recently.¬¨‚Ć I subscribe to a fair few blogs (by subscribe, I mean I have their RSS feeds plugged into Google Reader) and over the last few weeks I’ve found that seemingly unconnected blogs have the same people comment on them. Of course, I’m a link between these blogs, but …
Well, the ugvm boys were supposedly going to play this tonight. But they didn’t turn up until I’d been hanging around for an hour so I left. Pff. I’d played a few match-making games while waiting, and didn’t lose any (although I didn’t do especially well), but it just isn’t fun when you don’t know the people you’re playing with (unlike Team Fortress 2 which is ace regardless).
Four more stars, taking me to 18 Weegi-stars and 138 stars in total. I’ve also found out today that there isn’t 241 stars overall, but 242. Amazing! Getting used to Luigi’s slippery movement now, but not looking forward to coping on the ice-based galaxies! Oh, and Cosmic Luigi is waaaaay faster than Cosmic Mario, and constantly long-jumps to go even faster. I couldn’t beat him on Honeyhive. Grr.
OH! MY! GOD! I was actually not only not crap, but actually absolutely vital to my team’s success today! I played a looooooong game of 8-on-8 Capture the Flag on the 2Forts map, as a Pyro. To start off, I thought I’d defend the flag (briefcase), seeing as no-one else was doing that, and saw off a fair few would-be thieves, but after a while my team got their act together defending, with gun turrets a-plenty and snipers and guards, …
Is it possible to get tired of the Portal end-of-game theme song?¬† The answer is no, of course. Anyway, VG Cats provide a video to go along with it: VG Cats РStill Alive
Not really much to say today, apart from that I’m still loving it, and managed to get up to 14 Luigi Stars, making 134 in total. This time through, I’m trying to do as many later levels as possible, so I get left with the easier ones nearer the end of the game (if that makes sense). I know it’s not really possible, as you have to do early stars to unlock later galaxies, but once all the galaxies are …
