"Those gay ninja helmets"

I'll admit it 's jealousy, but I still hate being killed by those guys.

Here's a chart of all the armour types for John Spartan:


EVA looks cool.

EOD reminds me of Hammerstein from the ABC Warriors.



"Programmed to believe the humans' God is on his side...
...some would say this makes him the worst of all."

I want one of those. And a hammer for a hand.

As mentioned at last nights meeting of the Fi's

"Is There Anybody Out There.......?"

Hi all.

Well if no one else wants it (hint hint), I'll bagsie this FiDay 12th October.

Usual time and place. Bring your bits and pieces and DS's and etc.

But I'm calling a cease-fire on snacks, just bring some dips.

See you then.


Also, I've noticed that my local Blockbusters have recently had posters up advertising Bioshock and Halo 3 for £34.99 each.

This is the cheapest price I've seen, including online.

If they keep putting big new releases at this price, they might be worth checking out for fourth coming games.

Holding Out For A Hero!

I was having a quick look at Drawn To Life on the DS. One of the first things you need to do is create a hero to save a village...

So I thought, who better than...



I'm playing this because I'm stuck on Zelda until the Post Office pull their finger out and deliver my headset/mic for my DS. My built-in mic is broken and I'm stuck in a cave where I have to shout for help.

Anyway, Drawn To Life is a fairly simple, but enjoyable and engaging platformer-cum-RPG. The gimmick is that you get to draw a lot of the assets... your 'hero' for starters - you can eventually have three different characters and you can edit them endlessly anyway - we're now running around as one of our cats in a red shirt and yellow shorts. You also get to paint your vehicles and draw springs, platforms etc.

The best thing is that I am playing this co-operatively with Little s u d 0 jr. She's mostly doing the stylus work - colouring in (I can draw and lock a template for her to fill or scribble over), or using it to clean up the evil black goo that's tainting the world. It's working really very well and she really understands what she's doing. She's happy to watch me do the jumping and shooting (snowballs, don't worry!)

This is the first videogame we've really played properly together and I'm really stoked that she's pestering me to pick up and play. I'm also pleased that this seems to be a game that will engage both of us. It's simple enough for her to understand and for me not to get frustrated with repeating sections (and her bored), yet complex enough to keep me interested. A very well balanced little game.

Mario Galaxy control vids

Destructoid.com have put together a bunch of videos showing how the various controls for Mario Galaxy are going to work, including running, jumping and hitting things. They also demonstrate the bee suit and the phantom suit.

Here's yesterday's 'Prologue' video...

How to Enjoy Games

A wonderfully Zen document translated from Russian describing how to enjoy your gaming, from gamerswithjobs.com

Obviously Oleg's tongue is at least partly in his cheek but there are some real pearls of wisdom within.
