Rodeo was after more clothing today, but didn’t like the first shirt I gave him. Stupid cow – it was much better than the crap green vest he eventually did like. His red glowing eyes disturb me too. Eeeee-viiiiiil. The rest of my animals didn’t want for much. Redd was in Cheese, and I bought a saddle fence from him (which I haven’t seen yet), and then checked in with Nook for turnip prices – 54 bells. I shot him …

Played a few demo games this afternoon, as I’ve been downloading a few recently. They’re all the trial versions of Xbox Live Arcade titles. Robotron 2084: One of the many XBLA games that is similar to Geometry Wars. Could only play for a few minutes before the demo limit ran out, but it seems nice enough. Smash TV: Essentially the same game as the one above. Sort of. Again, there was a limit, but I got through about half of …

My animals were in a bit of a wanting mood today. Two of them were after clothes, one wanted furniture, and another (Kabuki) was wanting to move out and needed convincing to stay. I tried, but not especially hard. Nook was buying turnips for 83 bells, so I didn’t sell them, but I did manage to catch a few insects I hadn’t previously seen about.

This was one of four games that came in the post today, and as soon as I turned it on, I saw my brother was online playing it. After about ten minutes in the training sessions of career mode, I played a few games against him and barely won a few points, let alone any games or sets. Even changing my player was no use. I did manage to unlock an achievement by playing him, however. After that, I worked …

A couple of days missed, but I used the Power Of Time Travel to return to last night and visit K.K. Slider (who played me K.K. Parade), and to visiti my animals and try to convince Rodeo not to move out. Fast forward to this morning, and I bought some clothes and a bit of furniture, then bought 300,000 bells worth of 90 bells-a-go turnips from Joan. Rodeo didn’t move out, and he asked me for some clothing, which I …

No score improvements, sadly, but I did managed to unlock another achievement, leaving just the “perfect challenge stage” one remaining.

Bought this for 400 points on Xbox Live Arcade today, after briefly playing the demo and thinking the £3-ish was worth it. And it was. It’s just Galaga, plain and simple. With achievements and a leaderboard system, which suddenly make it $hlmun times more enjoyable. So I played through until I got to Level 30 (no, not all in one go – Level 25 in particular caused some problems!), unlocking all bar two of the achievements. I haven’t seen the …

It looks like I’m back in the swing of completing games! Huzzah! I finished the two levels (Challenges 3 and 4, in fact), and that unlocked a (pretty easy) final level. Once that was complete, I saw the credits, got another achievement, and it was Game Over! I went back and redid one of the two levels where I didn’t have all the Clydes and rescued some, and also found all of the remaining Killer Kenn dolls. I now have …

Bah. So Nan did move out. No chance of any goat curry in the near future, then. Bluebear has moved in, although not from my wife’s town (where she moved out from the other day), she’s actually come from Skipai’s town, Otterdom. Whilst chatting to my animals today, I found that Kabuki is in fact a boy, and not a girl at all (like he clearly was). How bizarre.

For a moment, I thought I’d completed the game. But obviously, I hadn’t. I finished the last level and the last challenge (although I didn’t get all the dolls or Clydes in either), and then assumed it was all over. But no. It seems I have forgotten two challenge levels somewhere along the way. Tch, eh?

With no turnips to try and sell this week, I feel a little lost in Cheese. My animals can tell too, as Nan was packed ready to leave today, and Frobert suggested he might be off soon too. Go on. Leave me. See if I care. I gave you the best years of my life, and what do you give me in return? Nothing. Crazy Redd was about today too, and he sold me the Triforce! Hurrah! It was 20,000 …

Worked through this quite a bit more today. I’ve now done all of the first three doors and the unlocked challenges I’ve come across so far. I’ve unlocked loads of achievements (well, only 80-ish points worth, but that’s most of the actual things to unlocks), and have rescued all of the Clydes and collected all of the Killer Kenn dolls on every level so far. It’s a great game, but hasn’t really been much of a challenge yet.

Hmm. I forgot to go and buy turnips yesterday. That’ll make my play on Animal Crossing this week somewhat short and a bit pointless, I’d expect, since I won’t have Mad Turnip Panic all the time. Today I just visited animals, did a bit of weeding, and dug up TEN gyroids. It hasn’t even rained much in the last few days, so I’ve no idea where they’ve all come from…

After playing the demo briefly, I caved in and bought this game, which is an Xbox Live Arcade download. Played it for a bit, finishing all of the levels in training and in the first door, as well as some of the unlocked Challenge Levels.

NINETY-ONE HOURS of gaming on Oblivion, and I’ve finally completed it. The last few play sessions have been a concerted effort to stay on-track and “do” the main quest, and it culminated this afternoon with me gaining the title Champion of Cyrodiil. I’m Winner! I won’t spoil everything, but needless to say it was a pretty long slog. My first task today was to obtain part of Tiber Septim’s armour, stained with his blood. It was in a dungeon, and …
