The Temple of Bague Wasting bandwidth since 1997 - Now in our 27th wasteful year!

Hah – chapters three and four pwn0red. Chapter five is proving a bit, well, mad – involving chasing a train while gunning down bad guys, running along the top of the train while gunning down bad guys and running along the inside while sharing some biscuits between bad guys. Oh no – it’s not sharing

Right now, we’re attempting to bring some form of order to the kids’ rooms. As we’re moving out on the 7th April to take up temporary residence in rented accomodation, we need to work out what is going into storage before being shipped to Oz, and what we’re taking with us to the rented house.

Just what the doctor ordered – an ennui-breaking side scrolling blaster from Treasure, the company who brought us the sublime Radiant Silvergun. It has everything – a surreal black-hotpanted non-baby with a finger lazer, ultra powerful arm cannon, and, erm, butt-mounted gatling gun. No, really! Oh, and jetboots. There are also RPG-lite elements in there,

It’s often said that everything has to come to an end eventually. In the case of root canal treatment, this is a good thing. In the case of a particularly fiery vindaloo, it’s not so good. Leaving Navyblue is definitely very close to the incendiary curry end of the spectrum (or rectum, if you prefer).

I hate it when this happens. The exit to the next level is in the third room, but I just know I’ll be compelled to crawl around the whole level looking or goodies and end up being eaten by a grue 🙁

Completed mission 7 – the first ‘fog of war’ mission. Not a particularly elegant victory, though – it ended up with a boxing match between my last unit and the enemy’s last unit. Entire map in darkness except for the two squares beside each other. In fact, in the Standard Scale Of Great Military Victories,

Other than a bit of dabbling with The Temple of Elemental Evil on t’PC, I’ve played virtually no games for ages. The ennui has struck again. A friend of ours has loaned us season 2 of 24 (we only saw season one) so that’s kinda eating the hours in the evening. Add to the mix

Well, we both have a gut feeling that we’ll be asked for medicals and police certificates in the next month. This may be wishful thinking on our part. The police certificates can take 40 days to arrive and are valid for one year after arrival. The date on the police / medical documents determines how

Mrs Me is popping in to our solicitors today to discuss missives on the house sale. All appears to be going very smoothly, so we’re hoping it stays that way. There’s nothing but silence on the visa front, but that’s to be expected. Next week is my last week at my current employer, so I’ve

Well, I can do 500 metres pretty reliably now. Trouble is, it generally takes me all three lives to do it and I never lose a life before level 4. That’s largely, I suspect, because I haven’t got the hang of getting rid of the brown blocks that almost always protect air tanks in levels
