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

As I was walking to the wash-house one day, I happened upon a little man pushing a very large cart. I approached him and noticed his particularly leathery visage, which seemed to fit very well with his miniature stature.. “Good Morning,” I said. “Good Morning yourself,” he replied. “If you will pardon my curiosity,” I

Completed this ages ago but I still tend to pop back every once in a while for a wee go. On the toughest difficulty it’s not bad. Basically, it’s a third person medieval slash em up. It’s also amusing as well – I know quite a few Templars and the thought of any of them

Well, more creepy corridor crawling last night. I’m making some progress but also finding it a little easy. Still, it’s loads of fun. I had a brief sesh with Classic Doom as well and it was a bit of a jaw dropping moment. Probably because, at the time Doom was originally released, I only had

Bah! The very mention of it in my last posting has urged me to have a wee play. This is such a glorious game and – as my evening gaming is currently filled with Doom 3 and Republic Commando, Pikmin makes for some shiny kid-friendly fun. Currently, I’m at the end of Day 2 with

Despite what the occasionally USENET pundit might say, the current generation of consoles has had some truly great games. Off the top of my head, games I want to either complete or just play through again in the near future are: Doom 3 (Xbox) Republic Commando (Xbox) Resident Evil 4 (GameCube) Metroid Prime 2 Pikmin

Ok, girly moment. Dark dark room. I can hear snufflings and stuff. Not good. I wish I could hold a gun and a torch at the same time. Oh well, nowt for it. Should I chance a quick switch to the flashlight? I can definitely hear something. Flick on the torch. BIG DEAD THING COMING

There’s only really six things to say about Doom 3 on Xbox. Briefly, they are: Dark Scary Dark Beautifully rendered Dark Tense By God, though – what a game. I’ve only just got back to Marine HQ after all hell breaking loose (literally) down in the depths of the base. Very *very* atmospheric game, and

Well, I wasn’t sure if I’d like this but I had a suspicion I would, what with being a little on the nerdy side with regard to Star Wars. Not mainstream nerdy, I have to say – I don’t think Episodes I and II are worse than the original trilogy – I fully believe they’re

Otherwise known as Timesplitters 2. My wee lad and I have been blowing seven shades of monkey-bits out of each on a custom map. He’s getting really good at it as well. It’s one of those titles that just never seems to get tired – probably cos there’s so much to unlock, the game modes

Not really much to say here except it’s a wonderful RPG that I keep going back to for a quick bash. I’m sure purists will rant and rave at the frenzied (i.e. not turn based) battles but hey – what good are purists if they can’t be irked?
