Ye Gods! Chapter Six was a bit….. strange! I went back in time on a train and ran about in a submerged city. Then I went to the moon! Or was that before? Anyway, I killed EVERYTHING and then three months passed and I ended up back in the future where five years had passed.

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

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,

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, 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

This is a weird game. It really is. It needs a combination of speed and fast reactions, puzzle solving and strategic thinking. Now that I’ve had a bit of success with 500 metre mode, I’ve gone in to tackle some of the speed missions. Basically you have to dig a certain distance within a target

500 METRE TRIUMPH! Muuuuhahahahahaha! I don’t care that I’ve finished Resident Evil 4 on hard mode. Couldn’t care less about Halo on the hardest level. I poo-poo in the smelly face of Tempest 2000 – I HAVE COMPLETED EASY MODE OF MR DRILLER 2. Phew! What a sense of satisfaction! This is why I play

Guhh. I can get to 450 metres pretty reliably these days, but that last 50 metres seems problematic. I tend to run out of oxygen. The oxygen tanks are all tucked behind similar looking arrangements of blocks so I just need to get my head around how the puzzle works. Played this for about an
