Lost Odyssey continues to progress fairly well, much to my constant belligerence upon its completion percentage. Note: it doesn't have a percentage, but I feel like I've self imposed one. And I will strive to reach that glorious 90% number. Now 55 hours into the game, my party has reached about level 48 and continues to kick butt. I found a new ( Read more... )

Making Disc 4 of Lost Odyssey has been an achievement long in the wake of my primordial efforts of wanting to actually complete a long Japanese RPG. So many have I started! So many have I invested plentiful, bountiful hours into. So many have I enjoyed, née relished! So many items, spells have I amassed; NPCs conversed; quests completed. Yet I ( Read more... )

In the summer, the plan is to get a new bed to replace the piss-poor one I have at the moment. I.e. the squeaky, uncomfortable, spring-popping, metal bed. Of course, since I'm back in Sheffield for a couple more months, there's no rush. But come summer, it'll be more important. So I'm looking up at Shakira, and then I realise: there's a quicker way ( Read more... )

There is but seven days until the glorious Battlestar Galactica returns to us. And let's get this into perspective here: the final episode of Season 3 ended March 25th... 2007. That's right, 369 days have we been waiting for the exciting conclusion to "WHATEVER THE FRAK JUST HAPPENED". (Frak is a four letter word, people!) Sure, we had Razor to ( Read more... )

Yesterday I awoke to the serene beauty of the sunrise over the horizon and brilliant fragrance of a fresh new day, ready to inspire, to motivate and to remind every one and every thing of the gloriousness, and frailty, of life as we know it. So I played some video games and watched some DVDs ( Read more... )

It's probably about time we got over the whole Christmas thing and got that post of the top of my weblog (although, knowing I, it will probably still be there in 2 weeks time, deeming me grandiose amounts of bad luck!) So here we are, it's now the 8th of January. Not really a milestone of a day, but its a day. It is also the day this ol' computer's ( Read more... )

Fridays, or LongDays as they will now be called, aren't my particular favourites. I remembered this morning at just past 2am that I have a 10am lecture (and my last at that time for this semester) - and of course would require being up by 8.30. That ruined the entire day, as the six hours of sleep barely kept me awake through the 10am lecture. When ( Read more... )

Wow, Portal was amazing! It was short, at just under four hours for me to complete (and apparently, that's pretty slow too - but I was talking to Lewis at the same time) - I knew the game was going to be great and fun - but I didn't know it was going to end quite how it did, and how brilliantly funny it was! And yet still, it links back into the ( Read more... )

Wow, I got up surprisingly early, but right on time it would seem! Pretty much as soon as I was dressed and my hair brushed, the electrician came to fix our door deelywhopper. I spent the next 10 minutes banging on everyone's doors to wake them up and get their key fobs to be fixed too. But... now I can't keep up with all that's happening on this ( Read more... )

Oh dear god y'all! They're back to haunt me 'cos I can't remember how to do 'em! First I have to re-remember how to work out matrix determinants. Fine, got that one covered, it was only last year I was doing an exam on them. Next I've gotta learn how to factorise a bloomin' cubic equation - after much time was spent, I sorted it out with trial and ( Read more... )
