Finally! The version of RSG you’ve been waiting for!

  / / Leave a comment

Many, many, many years ago, I wrote a terrible text based roleplaying game called RSG. I initially made a version for the Sinclair Spectrum, but lost the code soon afterwards. Then I wrote a version for the Acorn A4000 in BBC Basic instead of doing my A level computing project. Then a version for the Casio programmable calculator when I’d finished a physics exam. At some point I also made a version in AMOS on the Amiga, and eventually rewrote …

Titan Souls (Web): COMPLETED!

  / 1 comment

Is this a first? As in, a web-based (well, Flash) game that I’ve completed? Sort of. I mean, I’ve completed Cookie Clicker and Clicking Bad, but they’re not really proper games (are they?). Does this count as a proper game? Yes. I think it does. OK then. Titan Souls is, it appears, a purposefully terribly-named 2D top-down mini version of Shadow of the Colossus. Only with just four Colossi. And your only weapon is a single arrow you have to …

EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard

  / Leave a comment

When choosing a data recovery program, the most important thing is whether it will actually recover your data or not. In my job I’m often asked to restore files that have been deleted or “lost”, and if there’s no backup (which, invariably on a removable disk, there isn’t), data recovery is the only way to go. I’ve been testing EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard 7.0, to see how well it performs. EaseUS’ product does two things I’ve not seen in other …

Some things I’ve played recently

Round up time! Doritos Crash Course 2 (360) I turned my 360 on for the first time in months this weekend, and my download queue kicked in. The first thing that downloaded was this. It is, considering how it’s both a shameless advert for Doritos and free, really good fun. Much like the first game, really. I was enjoying it, until I ran out of the stars you need to buy the next level. You see, you collect and win …

Lego City Undercover: The Chase Begins (3DS): COMPLETED!

  / / Leave a comment

Story done! It is substantially smaller than the Wii U version, as I completed the story (without much in the way of wandering round) with just over 7 hours on the clock. There’s clearly a lot left to do, but I’m expecting around 25 hours to 100% it. It’s a great game. It really is. The only reason it isn’t fantastic is that the Wii U version exists. Still, lots of fun and I’m going for the 100%. Just a …

Sonic 3 & Knuckles speed run

  / Leave a comment

I found this video recently, which I watched in disbelief. The number of times I’ve played this game. The hours put in. And yet, I never stumbled across any of the massive game breaking bugs exploited here to get such an incredibly quick completion time. I think I’d struggle to do just Sonic 3 in 45 minutes, let alone Sonic 3 & Knuckles. Mind you, I’d struggle to contain my lunch if I was forced to play as Tails…

My first Arduino project – Pulse

  / Leave a comment

OK, so it’s not really a project. And the circuit is just that used in the ARDX manual for CIRC-07. But the program is mine! It’s not very exciting, but then I expect first projects rarely are. If you can’t tell from the video, the LED pulses and the two buttons control the speed of the pulse. int ledPin = 9; int inputPin1 = 3; int inputPin2 = 2; int val = 0; void setup() { pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT); pinMode(inputPin1, INPUT); …

Skyrim Louis Letrush bug

  / Leave a comment

After stealing a horse for Louis Letrush many hours ago in Skyrim, I noticed half-a-Louis near the stables outside Whiterun. He seemed to be stuck in the ground. It was odd, sure, but this sort of thing is reasonably common in games like this. However, a few hours later I was walking past Whiterun again, and, well – watch.

Lego Batman 2: NEED!

  / Leave a comment

I know a lot of people thought the original Lego Batman was the weakest of the Lego games, but I think it was awesome. And because I think that, it is fact. This looks even better though! Apart from the voice acting. Not too sure about Lego games with voice acting yet…
