World of Warcraft (PC)

I’m really starting to believe that the filthy alliance scum who play on the Kul Tiras WoW server, or at least those who play in the 10-19 Warsong Gulch battleground, are a bunch of loser twinks with no ability whatsoever. The amount of twinkage on display last night was breathtaking – a level 15 dual

Warcraft III (PC)

Well, I’ve successfully defended a village from the undead horde. Unfortunately, Arthas has had a bit of a falling out with Uther, stroppy tart that he is, and has single handedly stalked off to Stratholme to sort him out. As I’m sure everyone but me is already aware, this is a beautiful beautiful game and

Barrow Hill (PC)

Now this is just lovely. It’s titles like this, appearing completely out of the blue, that restore faith in the games industry. And it’s British to boot 🙂 It’s essentially a point and click adventure from the first person, done Myst stylee, but with a very heavy focus on atmospherics. I’ve only played for forty

An update

Had a few emails form people looking for a progress update. There haven’t been any new posts made for a while because, well, there’s nothing to say. The sad fact about migration to Australia is that there are a few very brief bursts of absolutely frenzied activity and stress seperated with several extremely long periods

Trauma Center – Under the Knife (Nintendo DS)

It’s a bizarre concept – making life-or-death surgery the subject of a video game. But it works! Trauma Center is a frantic nerve shredding panic game controlled entirely from the touch screen. Essentially, you play the role of a rookie doctor and have to perform varying surgeries against the clock. It sounds odd – but

Warcraft III (PC)

Well, as the comment on last night’s entry goes, I’m now up to my eyes in Undead. It’s really quite strange seeing units charging about the place that I recognise from WoW 🙂 In particular, the big three armed blokes who guard Undercity are pretty fearsome. I now have access to Priests and Sorcerers, which

Nintendo Urine

Ok, so Nintendo have announced that the console codenamed revolution is going to be called the Wii. I have to say that, much though I’m looking forward to this console being the saviour of gaming, that is the worst name I’ve ever heard heard. I can see it now – people wandering into Gamestation. “Hi,

Warcraft III (PC)

Ok, so a friend at work has been waxing lyrical about all the ingame lore and history in World of Warcraft which ties into the Warcraft III RTS scenarios. Except I’ve never played them, and I’m feeling all left out. So, off to game for a rummage in the bargain bin where I managed to

More delays

According to Adelaide Skilled Processing Center, we have another 6 or 7 weeks before a case officer is allocated. Guh. That’s a while. Absolutely nothing we can do about it, though. Here’s hope they don’t move the goalposts again within that time.

Crates and Boxes

We’re still in the throes of attempting to clear out some of the rubbish we have. As part of the process, I’ve ordered a pile of really useful boxes from, er, reallyusefulboxes.com . As you might expect, they’re boxes and they’re really useful. Ordered a few dirty great big ones for the copious quantities of
