Typing and waffling

Posted inReflections, VideogamesNo Comments
Looks like Wednesday is becoming my new update day. Due to the days I work, Monday has been designated "rest day" - coming off four days of work is quite tiring. I feel more perky and talkative on a Wednesday though, I'm more likely to want to do things like type and waffle. My phone is now 100% Mangoed up,…

Mango’d: Part 2

Posted inInternet, Reflections, VideogamesNo Comments
I've finally gotten around to updating my Windows Phone 7 to Windows Phone 7.5 (codename: Mango), only a month after it came out... Why have I not updated sooner? I got the notification that the update was available for my phone about a week ago... What's been eating at my time? Batman: Arkham City. Such a good game, so empowering.…

Wanquish

Although actually, it wasn't wank, it was really good. I loved it. At first I didn't quite get it, but after a while slowing down time to shoot multiple bad robots faces off just gelled. I would say that's Vanquish in a nutshell, but there's more to it than that. First of all, it's tough. I played it on Hard…

Space Channel 5

Oh... They are releasing Space Channel 5: Part 2 on Xbox Live Arcade tomorrow. I picked it up as part of the Dreamcast collection (along with Sonic Adventure, Crazy Taxi and Sega Bass Fishing - three games I will never play) months ago and resolved to finish it before it was released on XBLA. Oh well! Posted from WordPress for…

Mango’d

Although the thing is, I've not been Mango'd. I'm just trying to be. I keep forcing the Windows Phone 7.5 "Mango" update onto my phone, but all I'm getting is the Omnia bug. Again. I guess I'll wait until Orange officially release it to me, and it pops up "An update for your phone is ready", then I shouldn't have…

Updating, please wait

Actually, the title is a misnomer. With Wordpress you very rarely have to endure waiting - one of the reasons I love it so much. I finally decided to get around to installing Jetpack, and so far, so good. It hooks up with Wordpress.com, and they provide all your stats like "pages viewed" and "visitors per day" from their end,…

Holiday 2011: Day 8

Posted inReflectionsNo Comments
The drive home was pretty uneventful. We stopped in a random Tesco on the way back, visited the toilets and got some sausage rolls. The journey to get home seemed longer than the journey to get there for some reason. Smudge was so cute when we pulled into the drive. She was sitting at the semi-open window of the garage-room,…

Holiday 2011: Day 7

Posted inReflections, VideogamesNo Comments
We went to Teignmouth on day seven. It was raining, so we didn't really see much there. We went to The House Of Marbles, saw some guys blowing glass things, Jane and Myrtle bought some glass things, other than that, not a lot happened on this day. I got the impression Jane was still feeling delicate. In the evening we…

Holiday 2011: Day 6

Posted inReflections, VideogamesNo Comments
We went to Torquay on day six. This was one of my favourite days. Myrtle was obsessed with finding a Marks and Spencers in Torquay. I'm not sue why when we have a couple not too far away from where we live. The shopping area in Torquay was really nice, although it did sprawl a little. Lots of little streets…
