On a Train, I Met a Dame

This year marks the twentieth anniversary of the excellent movie Trainspotting. It also marks an interesting milestone for me: It has been twenty years since I first played the ace multiplayer game Worms.
So what's the connection between Worms and Trainspotting? Well, when I made my first squad of Worms fighters, I named them after characters in Trainspotting (keep in mind though that I, on the account of my age, never saw the movie in the cinema, I just knew the character names as they were displayed on the advertising poster).

And so my Worm team was made up of Begbie, Renton, Sick Boy and Spud. What's even more inane is just how well those names work as Worms fighters XD.

And it's a tradition I maintain to this day: Evey time I start up a Worms te,a it will always be the same four names - much to bewilderment of my opponents in Worms.

A New Quest

Recently I had the pleasure of striking another game from my Hall of Shame. Clean out your desk DLC Quest, you're outta here!

I'm not sure if this counts as a legitimate exclusion from the Hall of Shame as the game is short, cheap and doesn't even try to hide it's intent of being one colossal joke. But hey, I made it to the end and netted a whole a lot of achievements so that must account for something.

It's rare to find a game that's legitimately funny. It's rarer still to find a game that's legitimately funny which doesn't wear out it's welcome. So is DLC Quest one of these?
Well I did enjoy the jokes, I did enjoy the commentary on gaming culture and the short nature of the game means the game doesn't wear out it's welcome. But on the other hand, DLC Quest isn't something I see myself returning to. Yes DLC Quest was entertaining but once you've seen all the jokes there isn't really that much in the way of staying power.

Still DLC Quest works as an afternoon occupier. And I'll give it that much

Kiss Me You Fool

So far, this has been the only time my hapless blue knight has achieved a kiss from one of the princesses.

Still, at least I have a tonne of cash to go with it XD

Metal will live on

Not much to say for today so here's something I found on YouTube:

Ninja Musicology

Here's something of interest I came across recently: A kickstarter campaign based around the music of the Last Ninja trilogy.

Go fund this! It has a lot of potential! I did!
