Well, Mac OS 10.4 is out – so what’s it like? In a word, lovely. One minor hiccup is that my SpeedTouch 330 USB ADSL modem no longer works but as it’s a huge resource hog at the best of times this isn’t a great loss. Spotlight is the thing that’s grabbed me the most

Gogs and Tony duke it out at long last. Big Gogs’s evil plan is revealed in all its Machiavellian glory. Or something.

I once had opportunity to visit a strange old lady who swore blind she could nasally extrude ectoplasm. She’d sit there, in the dark, rocking gently, and then whoop loudly, causing me to leap in the air. Invisible to all eyes except hers, a languid ectoplasmic tentacle would peer from her snout and poke around

Ok, so I wasn’t going to play anything from the Episode III bits until I’d seen the movie, because I didn’t want any spoilers. Then, I had an epiphany. Hang on, thought I – it’s a George Lucas movie. What am I going to spoil? Bad dialogue and predictable plots? I doubt it. Why do

It’s an interesting thing. Banjo Kazooie is better than Doom 3. In fact, it’s better the most current generation games. I’ve spent far too long on it today, but it’s just such a great game with a brilliant mechanic that it can’t be helped. Also, I’ve never completed it and – as Debbie picked up

As I was walking to the wash-house one day, I happened upon a little man pushing a very large cart. I approached him and noticed his particularly leathery visage, which seemed to fit very well with his miniature stature.. “Good Morning,” I said. “Good Morning yourself,” he replied. “If you will pardon my curiosity,” I

Completed this ages ago but I still tend to pop back every once in a while for a wee go. On the toughest difficulty it’s not bad. Basically, it’s a third person medieval slash em up. It’s also amusing as well – I know quite a few Templars and the thought of any of them

Well, more creepy corridor crawling last night. I’m making some progress but also finding it a little easy. Still, it’s loads of fun. I had a brief sesh with Classic Doom as well and it was a bit of a jaw dropping moment. Probably because, at the time Doom was originally released, I only had

Bah! The very mention of it in my last posting has urged me to have a wee play. This is such a glorious game and – as my evening gaming is currently filled with Doom 3 and Republic Commando, Pikmin makes for some shiny kid-friendly fun. Currently, I’m at the end of Day 2 with

Despite what the occasionally USENET pundit might say, the current generation of consoles has had some truly great games. Off the top of my head, games I want to either complete or just play through again in the near future are: Doom 3 (Xbox) Republic Commando (Xbox) Resident Evil 4 (GameCube) Metroid Prime 2 Pikmin
