World of Warcraft (PC)

I have too many characters. It’s official. I’ve been having a blast with ol’ Pooky recently. I got him over the horrible hump of the early twenties. It seems to be a bit of a rough spot with mages – not enough damage to attack anything higher than green and groups are hard to come

Monster Hunter Freedom (PSP)

This is a kinda fighty-RPG-Lite, and it’s not at all bad. So far, my little girly warrior (Bague, natch) has done the first six quests (or thereabouts) so it’s still early days. I did start out with an outrageously large sword which took ages to swing. This was fine and well until I encountered my

DING!

Trollbert has finally reached level 40 and has spent the correspondingly stupid amount of gold on a Raptor to run about on 🙂 In other news, Trollbert also popped into Ragefire Chasm to say “Hi” to Taragaman the Hungerer. Taragaman wasn’t impressed, so Trolly had no choice but to set Ookbert on him. He’s such

Warriors are imba

He’s only level 14, but you really wouldn’t want this charging across Warsong Gulch at you would you? Warriors are dull until level 10 when you suddenley find more inventive ways to munt people about the face and neck. I’m currently swithering between using a two handed sword or sword shield combination. So I’m keeping

Project Rub (DS)

Project Rub was, I believe, one of the DS launch titles – it’s been around for a while. It never particularly appealed to me but it was £3.99 in blockbuster and I can always trade it in. Anyway, it’s a bit wierd. Basically, you play a little bloke who sees a nice girly and immediately

Brain Training (DS)

My brain is old and atrophied. I started out with an age of 59 then dropped down to 45 now I’m back up at 57 again. Harrumph. Mined ewe, it’s early days yet. Debbie had now been inducted into the evil obsessive world of Sudoku, thanks to the lovely elegant interface and wealth of puzzly

World of Warcraft (PC)

Well, Trollbert has a new pet to keep Clawbert company in the stables. He’s a cat, of sorts. In fact – he’s specifically this cat: He was a level 10 Elite who got on my nerves a few times back in Mulgore, cos he has insane attack speed. Pretty easy to tame with a level

New Super Mario Bros (Nintendo DS)

It’s about time there was a new Super Mario Bros game, and this one if just sheer genius. It uses 3D models instead of 2D sprites, but it’s very much a traditional 2D Mario side scroller. And thank god for that – Mario in 3D is great but 2D is where he really shines. So,

Warcraft III – Reign of Chaos (PC)

The human campaign is finished and it’s the Undead campaign next. The FMV at the end of the campaign was pretty amazing – there’s a World of Warcraft movie on the cards and I think it would be madness to have some live action abomination when Blizzard have been producing consistantly incredible FMV for years.

Stuff that’s not about games

Anyone would think we never actually do anything cos the only time I ever post on here is about video games. Fair enough, we don’t do an awful lot, granted, but we do occasionally do some stuff that involves actually being outside and things. For example: This weekend, we mainly worked on the garden. Our
