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

Well, as the comment on last night’s entry goes, I’m now up to my eyes in Undead. It’s really quite strange seeing units charging about the place that I recognise from WoW 🙂 In particular, the big three armed blokes who guard Undercity are pretty fearsome. I now have access to Priests and Sorcerers, which

Ok, so Nintendo have announced that the console codenamed revolution is going to be called the Wii. I have to say that, much though I’m looking forward to this console being the saviour of gaming, that is the worst name I’ve ever heard heard. I can see it now – people wandering into Gamestation. “Hi,

Ok, so a friend at work has been waxing lyrical about all the ingame lore and history in World of Warcraft which ties into the Warcraft III RTS scenarios. Except I’ve never played them, and I’m feeling all left out. So, off to game for a rummage in the bargain bin where I managed to

I’m a sucker for Resident Evil. We’ve already established that, more than once. So it’s only right that I should wax lyrical and enthuse A LOT about a handheld version. Deadly Silence has two modes. The first is a straight port of the PS1 version (i.e. the original) and the second, Deadly Silence, is a

It’s ACE! It’s mental madness though. Imagine a real time strategy game. Then imagine it as a direct-control third person shooter. With vehicles. Then make it all cartoony. That’s pretty much Battalion Wars. I’ve only done the first few missions so far, but my fingers are nearly bleeding with frenzied button pressing. Graphically, the game

Bah! 109 bells for white turnips. That’s RUBBISH! I’m beginning to think Nook and Joan are in cahoots :-/ Did some low-scale deforestation this morning, and replaced a load of the deciduous trees with nice fruit trees. And my palm has grown successfully. I must resist the temptation to sell the coconuts, though, cos I

Here they are – Trollbert and Clawbert, during a little expedition from Crossroads to Ogrimmar. I’m becoming strangely attached to little clawby – he’s a cheerful wee chap.

Another of those ‘I really should give this a go’ games. Only done the first five (largely tutorial) missions. Just really saying I’ve started, is all. It’s a strange thing about this series. When I actually play advance wars, I love it to death. It just seems really hard to get around to actually picking

Ok, ok, so it’s been out for three years, but it’s one of those ‘I really should play this at some point’ games. I bought it on release date and it was replaced by our insurance (after the house fire) two years ago and, well, it’s still in the shrink wrap. First: It’s gorgeous. Dear

Humph. Sold my turnips this morning. 177 bells each – not great, but the highest it’s been all week. I just know Nook will drop the price after lunch so I thought I’d quit while I was ahead. If he goes up to 500 bells this afternoon, I’ll NOT be pleased.
