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

It’s been a wierd year, but it’s not over yet. My beloved Gamecube has been in a bit of a decline as well, but going out with a bang — Resident Evil 4, the last title I bought for it, was easily the game of the year. I haven’t bought an Xbox or PS2 game

Well, the phantom express has been defeatorated and escaped, although it did have a rather nasty parting shot for poor Cyan. The ninja bloke finally legged it, though, which is a shame, because his ACE NINJ0R SKILLS were handy in the extreme. So, now I’m heading east through an area I already know is stuffed

Gaaaaah! I’m out of healing staves. I don’t have any space to carry stuff without throwing away other stuff. I’m just about to encounter an end of area boss (I have a nose for these things). The arbitrary limitations placed upon the player by this combat engine is frustrating in the extreme….. yet I’m still

Well, having got my little gang safely inside Narshe, it was time to tackle Sabin’s scenario to find out what he’d been up to ater falling out the boat. Well, he’s made a new friend – Shadow – who happens to have l33t n1nj0r skillz!!11!one! (ahem). He also has a big doag that he occasionally

Owf! I have a siberian husky called William! My youngest lad’s doag ran away because he hadn’t fed it for about a month, so I’ve sneaked a go of his copy of Nintendogs (purely for research, you understand) and it’s ACESEXBEST. Right now, William can answer to his own name, sit, and eat a lot.

Well, after my love-hate relationship went through a lost-forest-shaped hate arc, I finally got out of the section in question and it’s back to love again. I think. It’s bizarre – on the one hand, I can’t make up my mind if I actually like the game or not, but on the other I’m still

Well, I found rhe Returner hideout and had a little confab with my little gang. Then I had a very exciting adventure on a little raft, which ended up in three people heading back to Narshe, someone being washed out in the rapids and another going to delay the empire by infiltrating a camp. I

Finally broken the ennui enough to fire up the PS2. I picked up where I left off, skulking in a little village to the south of the starting point. Had a quick gallop about on a chocobo before heading off for the Kolts mountain where I auto-crossbowed a large number of nasty beasties before confronting

 This was the second game I bought for my first Gameboy Advance, several years ago. I remember thinking at the time that it was a pretty vast game to be stuffed onto a tiny little cartridge. In the end, I clocked well over a hundred hours on it but, as I’d missed some side

Well, except Mario Kart, obviously. I’m suffering from gaming ennui just now.
