The Temple of Bague Wasting bandwidth since 1997 - Now in our 27th wasteful year!
Been stuck at the mid-level boss fight with Butthead, Elvis, and Barf, for about six months – not because it’s especially difficult, but because I hadn’t levelled sufficiently before entering the mission. Once in there, of course, it’s win or game over. No backing out. Anyway, I worked out a technique this afternoon, that enabled
I haven’t done a game diary post in aaaaaaages – mostly because I’ve been so busy doing five-minutely status updates via facebook and twitter that there’s been little point. Well, hell – I do still play the occasional game, so I’m gonna make a point of putting the occasional update here, if only to justify

Ok, so driven in from the garden by a plethora of wasps and one annoying neighbour, I was planning to stick my head in a book, but sadly my synth got a hold of me. So, without further ado, I present Morphine in C – the music I image would be played in a psychiatric
So, I’ve finally got around to adding some tags to the first couple of dozen articles and adding a tag cloud (it’s down there on the right hand side). It occurred to me that, with near enough 2,000 posts, Nelefa.org is kinda outgrowing categories and standard searching, so I thought I might as well get
Anyone familiar with Wagner’s Parsifal will know this one. It’s a short 24 second snippet of exquisite loveliness, using my nice warbly theremin sound. John Dow – Dresden Amen
