YES YES YES! Puppy pwnage! Set it up, and played with some of the puppies in the kennels, then picked out a male Yorkshire Terrier. My plan is to make him gay. Called him Chris, after one of my friends. It does seem a bit disturbing shouting “Chris! Chris! Good boy!” at my DS though. After teaching him his name, I petted him a bit and bought some food and water for him. Then I taught him “Sit!”, and then …
Well duh. You’re supposed to collect the fried egg things first, and then you can get into the gun thingy much more easily. And you get energy back that way too. Note to self: Next time, read the instructions.
The rllmuk forums have suggested this Spectrum game as a game to play this month. Oh dear. I’m a bit pants at it. I’ve figured out how to teleport, and how to kill the gun placement wotsits, but the guns keep firing at you as you try and get inside them (like you need to do) and my energy drops and then I die. How, exactly, are you supposed to do it?
Well, the walls were easy today. Stupidly. I used, erm, Bloke From Dragonball in the end, destroying all the walls with 30 seconds to spare. No idea how I was going wrong previously. And now I’m stuck again. I did some more “missions”, killed some people, etc, but I’m on another mission with no idea what to do. Looks like it’ll be back to GameFAQs to read up on what to do this time…
Aha! Thanks to the wonderous magic that is this page on GameFAQs, I found out what I was supposed to do and worked my way through the missions some more. The path between them branches a bit, it seems, but you still need to do them all to progress – I’ve completed Grassland 2-1, but I can’t move on to 2-2 until I finish 1-7. Which isn’t going to happen any time soon, since I have to destroy all the …
Another island, only with the Scots theme on. “It’s mine noo!” and “Och!” abound. I won, of course.
Hmm. Dungeon 5 is too hard. There’s one screen with a billion blue Darknuts in, and I just can’t kill them all. I can’t swipe my sword at one without another walking into me. Found the dungeon boss too, but none of my weapons hurt him. I think I need something past the Darknuts… Gave up in there and went wandering, finding The Lost Woods on the way. Ended up at Dungeon 6, and had a quick go inside. Lots …
Another game that arrived today. Well, collection of games, at any rate: Puzzle de Pon, Dr. Mario, and Yoshi no Cookie. Played all three with my wife this evening. There’s a few problems with running it on PAL Gamecube with Freeloader, in that some of the Japanese text appears as gibberish (no, real gibberish), meaning I can’t read it even if I could understand the Japanese. Puzzle de Pon was probably the best of the three. It has a new …
Although I ordering this about 27364 years ago, it has been sat at customs for aaaages. Finally got it today. It’s a bit like Super Smash Bros. only not quite. Although I had a few goes in “battle” mode, I was stumped part way through “story” mode. One of the training bits requires me to do something, but I don’t know what. Something to do with blocking, I suspect, but I can’t figure it out. Why not buy it from …
Even though I hate soldier games, and squad based soldier games most of all, I still bought this for a fiver a couple of weeks ago. Had my first play today, on co-op over Xbox Live, with the openly homosexual “madm0nkey”, whom I have previously thrashed on such titles as Project Gotham 2 and Outrun 2. However, since we were playing co-op, and I had no idea at all what to do, what the controls were (they’re not in the …
Why did no-one tell me that you could kill the four-shell-claw-thing boss with just one bomb? I ran out of rupees again, and had a go in desperation with a bomb. And lo, it died in one hit. What a great big giant pair of sweaty pants. Well, after that, Dungeon 4 was easy. Actually, it wasn’t, but I had a wander round outside, found three more heart containers, a stack of rupees, the White Sword (more powerful than my …
Kill0riZ0rEd! Hurrah! Had a quick jaunt across the sea to an island, where Dungeon 4 lay. Got the Compass, and also the Ladder Thing That Isn’t A Ladder As You Use It To Span Gaps Not Climb Stuff. With the power of the latter, I got the map, and then… …came across the boss from Dungeon 3 again. GAH! And died. And died again on my second attempt. And then on my third. AND THEN, I was out of rupees …
TOO DAMN HARD! Either that, or I have underestimated my (now lost) 1337 64/\/\1n6 5|
Yes, again. Played two more levels, and won them. Perhaps I should try playing on a harder setting, as it is a little easy…
Or Legend of Zelda, to its friends. Yes, the Japanese version of the first Zelda game. In Japanese. For the GBA. And it’s hard! Not only because it is in Japanese (that I can mostly handle – you don’t need to be able to read much of what is going on, especially if you played the English version like I have), but it is actually harder than the Western version I’ve played before. I’m sure of it. The first thing …
