Destructive little morons

Why is it that the above title fits so many kids these days? There’s a particularly repellent little reptile who lives across the road from us who only seems to be able to express himself by destroying things. As an example, my four year old daughter drew a little picture and stuck it on the

w00t! Destroyed the seperatists ship, so onto next area. Done: short outdoor Geonisis area. Longer indoor geonosis area. Short derelict indoor area. Short Kashyyk indoor area. Credits. “What?” you cry? Fecking CREDITS. Game c0mplet0rat0red. 7 hours on the the clock. Seven hours. That’s seven. One more than six and one less than eight. Seven. Big

Republic Commando (Xbox)

The bridge is blown in yet another pitched battle. Trundling on, through more corridors, (why is the phrase “you are in a maze of twisty tunnels all alike” spring to mind?) I encountered more Trandashans and blew them up. Then I found some droids and blew them up. Then I found an obstacle blocking my

Republic Commando (Xbox)

Sigh. More corridors. And it’s dark. And it’s pouring with rain. For god’s sake, mang! I live in SCOTLAND. Why would I want to play a game about RAIN of all things? Anyway, the action is hotting up – it’s one firefight after another. Nothing to rival Halo or Halo 2, natch, but entertaining non-the-less.

It’s not situated in t’US, courtesy of a very good little hosting company called challengehost.com. Being moveable type, it was very easy to shift without any downtime as well.

Oh, thank god for that! Finally got off Geonosis. The last geonosis level (on the Trade Federation starship) is really annoying cos it involves doing some stuff to a time limit and I *hate* time limits. Anyhoo, I’ve now found myself in a decidedly spooky Mynoc infested derelict, creeping about (without my squadmates) looking for

Forza Motorsport (Xbox)

Got a loan of this from a bloke at work. Racing games just aren’t my bag, but everyone (you know who you are, redsmartie) has been nagging me to death to give it a go. So I’ll give it a go. At some point.

Battlefront / Republic Commando

I’ve had a bit of a gaming slump of late – must be the change of weather or something. I managed about forty-five minutes of Republic Commando last night, and about ten minutes of Battlefront (spurred on by RedSmartie popping up on iChat and demanding that I play the Kashyyk beachhead level). I really like

Stand up and be counted

Not much time left – the government are getting ready to steamroller the ID card bill through parliament. That means that each and every one of us will be made to go to a police station to be fingerprinted and possibly retina scanned so that our every movement, purchase and library borrow will eventually be
