Had a fairly intense session at lunch today. Defeated half a dozen trainers, trained my little gang up to level 10, captured a Slakoth, a Silcoon, a Lotad, a Taillow, and a Maril. Went for an adventure in the woods. Defeated some more trainers. Popped back to town to check out my new acquisitions and……

I’m going to enter this year. For those who may not know, NanoWriMo is an annual competition for writers. And non writers. Basically, what you do is write a 50,000 (minimum) word novel in one month. You start at 00:00:01 on November 1st and finish at Midnight on November 30th. It doesn’t have to be

If you look up the definition of ‘useless thing’, you’d probably find a level 2 Ralts. Or maybe even a level 5 Ralts. Anyway, I’m still at Oldale town cos I’m doing a spot of levelling up on Wurmples and Poochenas. My Mudkip is at level 10 now and the others are all between 5

For some reason, Pokemon brings out the obsessive in me. And not just me – my oldest lad has a Pokemon Ruby save with some 300 hours on it. That can’t possibly be healthy. Anyway, I’m telling myself that, although I completed Ruby and Sapphire, I didn’t get more than maybe a quarter of the

Phew! The last boss was a tough one! Took me three attempts, but I got there in the end. The last save was standing at a little over 35 hours, bringing the cartridge total to about 60 hours. In both Final Fantasy I and in II, there was a lot more levelling, optional sub quests,

Ultima Tome GET! Legged it out of the tower and back to the castle, only to discover that most of the cities have been blown to bits by the Emperor’s cyclone. So, charged up into the cyclone on the back of a Wyvvern and found myself in a big scary citadel full of nastier creatures

Leviathan escaped! I’ve finally managed to get inside that infernal tower and….. it’s vast. I’m on level seven at the moment. Every two levels there’s an elemental mage blocking the path. The creatures are getting a little trickier now, but I still outrank them a little. Looks like the top-of-tower boss might be a toughie.

Crystal Rod GET! The cave on the Mysidia continent was as easy as an easy thing. There’s not been many hugely difficult sections of FFII so far, but then as a long-time Final Fantasy fan, I understand the importance of levelling up and doing loads of random encounters, so my party is pretty uber 🙂

White Mask Get! White Mask Placed! Time to head off to a cave to find the crystal rod which will allow access to the tower where the Ultima tome is hid0red. Not encountering anthing remotely health threatening at the moment, but I have noticed a sharp increase in nastier creatures since getting the masks. I

Yesterday, my five year old girl was stung by a wasp at school. She was very upset. Her teacher was unable to give her a hug in case she’s sued. Her teacher was unable to put vinegar on the sting in case she’s sued. As a result, my daughter had to spend an extended period
