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

Why? Why did I just limp in the direction of the save point, with a one pixel wide band of health, having just explored an area of the map? Why did I get myself killed doing this, when I had a backpack full of health potions which I’d gone and bought specifically to avoid this

New player to match the new year. I got about a third of the way through this before something else distracted me. This is more of a quick blast game than Fire Emblem is, so I thought the time was right to start again. So, I’ve done the first few areas and come across the

Chapter 3 complet0rised. Pretty easy, really – sneak in, gubb the bandits, make off with the goodies. Still, this is all still tutorial territory, really. Later that day……. Chapter 4 defeat0red. Loads of nastie beasties were coming at me from all sides, and it was pretty tricky to balance my little gang so that the

Back to Fire Emblem. I’ve started again because Easy mode was a bit, well, easy. Things aren’t much tougher on Normal, to be honest – the only real difference is in the lack of hints. Any RPG which gives you a Paladin as a starting character isn’t going to be hugely tricky. The challenge, of

Well, according to the save screen, I’ve clocked 7 hours 50 minutes on this infuriatingly wierd yet strangely ACE game. I’ve finally managed to gub the big serpenty thing on the top of the forest, way above the annoyingly fluid ‘seasons’ forest puzzle. So, I’m, er, back where I started. I’ve learned that the only

Complet0rised! The last day in court seems to have been pretty much real time – it took hours. The story was coming so thick and fast, though, that I was carried onwards with the momentum, meaning the last half of the day was done in one sitting. I think I got the ‘glum’ ending because

Gaaah! Just when I think I’m getting somewhere, the defendant goes and opens her big flappy gob. Just finished day two of the trial – just got one more investigation and one more day in court to go…. My head is hurting with the complexities of the case. I really really wish the developers had

Right – that’s the end of the second day of investigation. As well as being able to do luminol testing for bloodstains, I can also dust for prints using the touchscreen and blow away the extra powder by….. blowing on the DS. What an ACE console it is 🙂 So, I have some pretty decisive

Phew! End of day one reached and I’m off investigating again. Spent most of the court session completely floundering. I had a fair idea of what may have happened, but was having problems backing up my suspicions with the available evidence. Took a couple of chances with fairly oblique connections and they seem to have

Spent a good few hours on the first day in court of trial five. And it’s only just got to lunchtime recess. It has more twists and turns than a twisty-turny thing. The mad lunchbox lady seems to have a never ending supply of ‘conclusive’ evidence that she pops up with every time I think
