More savage deaths of poor, cute little pinatas. How cruel to children you are, Rare. All of my Whirlms are dead. One of my Sparrowmints is dead. All my moths and flies were ill from being beaten up. Horrible. Due to the huge amount of fighting between species, and being unable to separate them with fencing (my two new Bunnycombs nibbled through the fence keeping them apart from my Bunnycomb-eating Pretztail, and got eaten), I decided to cull some breeds. …
Now this is much better than that Contra nonsense of last week. I was never that good at Defender “back in the day”, so was quite alarmed to see that after just two goes, not only was I top of my friends list leaderboard, but I was about 300th in the entire world. Of course, this is mainly due to there not being many people who have played it yet. After all, I did only manage to get as far …
It’s an explosion of cute, right in your eyes! Despite the fact that Rare haven’t made a decent game in about 10 years, I went ahead and bought Viva Pinata anyway. Mainly for my wife, but also because it’s a bit Animal Crossing-y and Harvest Moon-y and I liked both of them. And it’s great. And cute. I put about two hours into it so far. I started off with a ruined, untidy garden, and some woman called Leafos gave …
I have indeed completed it again. This time, however, on “Crusin’” mode (otherwise known as “Normal” to Ouendan veterans). “Lets Dance” gave me a few problems, and I had to do the finale (“Jumpin’ Jack Flash”) about 5 times, but I finally did it and moved on up to the next difficulty level. ACE.
I think this is the first time in about a month I’ve actually gone to see Crazy Redd. And there was no point in doing so, as there was nothing in his tent worth looking at. So why I bought the widescreen TV he had for sale, I don’t know. Much of my time today was spent weeding. Again. Surely it isn’t right that there are easily 30 or more weeds every single day? And they’re just the ones I …
Blimey. It’s taking a while to get anywhere with this one. I’ve spent quite a while talking to the accused, examining the crime scene, talking with some witnesses, and all sorts, and I’ve still not even started the trial yet. And three people have psyche-locks on them. Two of them have FOUR locks. This case is going to take forever, isn’t it? And why is Adrian Andrews a woman?
After this weekend’s dual diversions of Elite Beat Agents and Tony Hawk’s Downhill Jam, it was back to the serious matter of acquitting people of murder. I’ve made a start on Case 4, the last one in the game. So far, I’ve been at a fancy awards ceremony, someone has died, Maya has been kidnapped, and lots of people from the previous game have reappeared. I haven’t even started investigating the murder yet, and I’ve been playing for about half …
Whilst browsing the Home Learning College website, looking for training courses, I found one for a “Microsoft¬¨?Ü Certified Desktop Support Technician”. OK, so it’s not what I’m looking for, but the thing that struck me about the course was the machine the guy in the picture was using. It’s a MacBook. Certified Desktop Support Technician Course
It would appear that Cyrano has vanished already. He isn’t in his house, and having spent a good 20 minutes hunting for him, I can only conclude he’s gone. Stupid animal. Mallary is still ill. She may die soon. I haven’t given her any medicine at all. There’s a reason for that.
Onward through the next hardest mode then, and I didn’t have many problems until reaching the Canned Heat mission, which was really difficult. I finally managed to get through it, but I got the “not perfect” ending – the first time I’ve got one of them. I then unlocked Believe by Cher, and completed that, and then worked through a few more missions. I’m now stuck again. Bah.
Cripes. I got two new games yesterday, and I’ve completed them both already! So I whipped through the rest of the levels on this, which took a few hours. I’ve not done every challenge for every level (you only need to do 6/9 challenges, and 2/3 medals on each to progress), but I’ve beaten the other team, seen the end sequence, and watched the credits. I then tried to play online, but nobody was around, and then I found Jam …
Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaag. And that’s about all I have to say on the matter.
I haven’t liked any of the other Rainbow Six games, didn’t really like Ghost Recon Island Thunder, am not a fan of any other “soldier” games, and so, quite expectedly, I didn’t really like this. I mean, it looks nice and all, but I just thought “why am I playing this?”, and then stopped doing so.
Urgh. This game is nasty. Really nasty. I never liked Contra (or rather, Probotector as it was bizarrely called over here in the UK) on the NES, and Super Contra (Super Probotector) on the SNES left me colder than cold too, so I wasn’t really expecting much. Which is just as well, as it’s crap. I’m just glad I didn’t buy it, as I normally buy the XBLA games without trying them, and it’s only because of the new feature …
Hurrah for Tony Hawk! I started out this year with a flurry of Hawk activity, completing Tony Hawk games at an alarming rate. Then I ran out. But look! There’s a new one! Sort of! Tony Hawk’s Downhill Jam isn’t a proper, “traditional”, Tony Hawk game. I was a bit worried about it, in fact, as it seemed to be an entire game based around the concept of the single “Downhill Jam” level from some of the other games. My …
