Posted on August 30, 2009 by baudattitude

If you think back to the mid-90s console wars, you’ll remember that Sony found itself lacking in one department: They didn’t have a “mascot” character, the sort of character you can base toy lines and saturday morning cartoons and breakfast … Continue reading →

Done stabbing mans – also, I’m a pretty pretty princess.

Posted on August 27, 2009 by baudattitude

Well, Assassin’s Creed decided to stop crashing halfway through levels, and decided instead to start crashing between levels, so I was able to finish it. I don’t know quite how to describe my feelings on this – on the one … Continue reading →

Stabbing mans

Posted on August 25, 2009 by baudattitude

So. I’ve been playing Assassin’s Creed, which is a game of three parts. You run around cities doing all kinds of cool semi-parkour style moves, you do some intelligence gathering on mans to stab, and then you stab the mans. … Continue reading →

Progress

Posted on August 23, 2009 by baudattitude

I think I need one of those industrial-safety signs you see in factories, only mine would read: It has been 33 days since my last game purchase. I have finished 10 games since my last game purchase. Which I think … Continue reading →

Powerslave perspectives

Posted on August 15, 2009 by baudattitude

Random praise for Powerslave

Posted on August 15, 2009 by baudattitude

Ok, so Powerslave is coming along nicely and I’m starting to feel pretty, what’s a good way to put this? Confident in my ability to turn random aggressive polygon monsters into low-resolution piles of pixelated goo. So it threw me … Continue reading →

Purging away…

Posted on August 13, 2009 by baudattitude

As of two days ago, I had four bins of cables / computer parts, neatly labeled as “AV Cables”, “Pasocon Cables”, “Pasocon Parts” and “Mynock Chow”. Now I have two bins.  I condemned an awful lot of S-video cables, Cat-5 … Continue reading →

Great Expectations

Posted on August 10, 2009 by baudattitude

I quite like Magic Knight Rayearth – the first TV series, that is; I haven’t seen the sequel or the OVA remake.  It’s got a hella catchy OP song, CLAMP art, Mokona, and one of the biggest I-Did-Not-See-That-Coming plot twists … Continue reading →
