Victory at last

Category: Mario Strikers Charged | Leave a Comment | Trackback

One of the perils of teaching is having to endure the odd day of INSET (a fine example of trying to force an acronym when it’s not needed: ‘training day’ would be so much more self-explanatory) where members of staff demonstrate some of their weaknesses as teachers in front of the entire teaching body of [...]

New high score

Category: Mario Strikers Charged, Virtual Console | Leave a Comment | Trackback

Steve may not be doing quite so well as me at Excite Truck but I’m guessing his high score on Galaga is somewhat greater than my 55510. He did, after all, spend much of the 1980s playing its BBC Micro equivalent. In other news, I had a premature attempt at an online game of Mario [...]

The best fun you can have on four Wii-ls

Category: Excite Truck, Wii | 1 Comment | Trackback

I’ve finally managed to complete the last of the Platinum races at Super Excite level. Without wanting to give too much away to those who haven’t done it yet, try the tree runs. The solitary Diamond race is actually quite simple: it took a couple of attempts to get the requisite B grade. Should I [...]

Well, I finished Excite level today on the game of the moment with S-grades on all the races. Mastering air spins helped to eke out the final few points necessary on some of the tracks and discovering that Rad has, to my taste at least, the right balance of air, grip, handling and speed helped [...]

After a lot of repeated efforts led to me not completing the second of the Platinum races in Excite Truck, I followed Kate’s advice and did some more of the tutorial. Having learnt how to fly the trucks, I finished Platinum tonight only to discover that I need to complete all the races with an [...]

Excite Truck

Meet the Robinsons, which just wasn’t my kind of game, today turned into the thirteen pound note that made Excite Truck that bit more affordable. I would be lying if I claimed that it’s very hard: I completed the Bronze and Silver levels tonight after a little confusion caused by trying to hold the Wiimote [...]

Wii-kiversary

Category: Wii | Leave a Comment | Trackback

As of today, we’ve had the Wii for a week. So, what have I learnt? Well, first of all I’ve discovered much to my shame that I’m not bad at golf: both Kate and I have managed to finish the expert level with a score of zero. Secondly, Kate’s a scarily good boxer. She’s K.Od [...]

Wii hii!

8710 9579 5917 6091 Yesterday I received my Threshold pay-rise, backdated to 1st September. Having danced a little jig around the staff room I pottered off to the local retail park to join the waiting list for a Wii. Currys, PC World, Game and Argos had no stock and Technorati Tags: Wii
