Well, it isn’t that massive, but compared to the usual peak of 40 days (ish) on my desktop PCs, 123 days on my Macbook is quite impressive. Even more so because it’s a laptop, I think. Anyway, I took this photo as my Mac has stopped recognising external drives (my fault – I was backing it up last night and pulled the external drive too early) so I think I may have to reboot soon. Shame!
It would appear that my upgraded water bike thing (that’d be “jetski” then) still isn’t nearly fast enough to beat Johnny the Torpedosharkrobot for the remaining Chaos Emeralds. So, I won’t be getting them any time soon then.
So today I was mostly progressing through Hephaestus, which involved killing lots of Big Daddies, and collecting bits for a bomb (many of which were on the Big Daddies – hence their increased prevalence in this areas, it would seem). At one point, I had two Big Daddies in the room at the same time, and I had hoped that the “Hypnotise Big Daddy” plasmid might allow me to get them to fight each other, but it didn’t seem to …
Phew! It’s about time I completed another game. Haven’t completed one in weeks! So there was just one more set of levels (well, aside from repeating a few hidden ones to pick up items I’d seem previously but it wouldn’t let me collect) – the pirate’s base in the old ruins. It was pretty easy, and the face-off with Captain Whisker and Johnny was alarmingly simple. Of course, there was a reall boss after that – a giant robot thing …
So, into Fort Frolic I went. It’s clearly the “entertainment” area of Rapture, with a casino, a theatre, a record studio and a strip bar. It’s also run by Cohen, who is a complete loon and asked me to dispense with four other people around Fort Frolic, take their photos, and add them to “an art” he was creating. I half expected to have to kill him, but no. I did kill three more Big Daddies and saved the Little …
Ran through Arcadia, killed a few more Rosies (are they really Big Daddies?) and rescued a couple more Little Sisters. Ryan decided it’d be good to kill all the plants in the area, so I had to find some ingredients with which to create a formula to revive them all. This meant finding the Farmers Market, and an area past it where there were lots of bees, seaching their nests for stuff, then finding a wine factory where I had …
It would appear that Level 7 isn’t the final level at all. Far from it. I managed to complete the remaining five puzzles on Level 6, then all the Level 7 puzzles, and Mario unlocked Levels 8, 9 and 10 for me. More! Not just more either – these are 20×20 puzzles (Levels 4, 5, 6 and 7 are 15×15). The first one was clever too – the was a picross of a picross puzzle!
Most predictable subject for this photo EVER! Just seen a dalek in Norwich city centre, scaring the kiddies and having trouble going backwards. It reminded me of those cheap crap remote control cars from the 80s that went forwards and turned in reverse. Amazing scenes.
I got loads done on this today, but my “score” didn’t alter at all. I think it only goes up when you’re created everything a specific resident has asked you for, that’s the only explanation. So I moved two more people in (the sushi chef and Vic Vector, the arcade guy who is ACE and says “Oh noes!”), built loads of items for Goth Boy, Ms. Nicole, the sushi chef and Vic, explored a bit more (finding chess piece trees!), …
1,887,480How Many Germs Live On Your Keyboard? At least, there were. I’ve just spent the last half an hour cleaning it, removing all the keys, getting the anti-bacterial spray out and giving it a good wash. I didn’t intend to do anything more than just wipe over the keys and key surrounds, but a key popped out and what was underneath made me feel a little ill… Mmm, tasty. I even found a couple of dead insects. Ace! Anyway, nice …
Which may come as a bit of a shock to some of my readers, as I’ve been vocal in the past about how much I don’t wish to be a part of Facebook, MySpace, Bebo et al. It wasn’t as much of a shock as it was to me, though – I didn’t have a say in it! I got an email today saying I’d been added as a friend by someone I know who works for the LEA (Local …
Completed Level 5 at last! Also completed four Level 6 puzzles without any problems. Still no Nintendo themed pictures, although I did have a monkey.
I really enjoyed Puzzle Quest on the DS, but part of what made it so great was the DS itself. It was portable, easy to turn on for just a quest or two, and had touch control which makes a lot of sense with this game. The XBLA version isn’t bad. It can’t be – it’s almost exactly the same game – but it isn’t right. I can’t bring myself to buy a game I already have in a form …
HAHAHAHAHA! Oh my, what a crap game. It’s Stun Runner, only with crap weapons and coins to collect. Oh, and you’re driving a Toyota Yaris with on of Doctor Octopus’ tentacles sticking out of the bonnet. And there’s no accelerator – the game takes care of that bit for you. Played the first three levels, then played online against some other people. Other people who kept quitting on the finish line because I won. Stupid other people. I don’t even …
It’s Project Gotham, only with better graphics and BIKES. I don’t know what else to say, really. It’s great, of course, and the bikes add something a little different to it, but I’m slightly concerned by the intro. It shows slips from each city in the game, and loads of them are the same cities as in previous games. In fact, some of the tracks even appear to be the same. As a result, yes – I’m going to buy …
