Posted on September 9, 2016 by Cat

Need more soundtracks. Need them now!

Posted on November 15, 2010 by Cat

Having just started a “normal” 9-5 job again I have discovered I’m in need of more orchestral soundtracks from either films or games. Whilst my iPod has over 70GB of music, a large part of it is unsuitable as it’s … Continue reading →

Where have all the gaming posts gone?

Posted on October 12, 2010 by Cat

Amongst several others there’s a draft sitting in my, well, drafts, lamenting on how I jump from interest or hobby to another to come back to it at a later time thus effectively proving my nomadic nature. In that post … Continue reading →

Dragon Age: Origins. Who would have thought a dog could save the world?

Posted on March 20, 2010 by Cat

I’ve finally completed Dragon Age Origins and overall it’s the first BioWare game I’ve mostly not enjoyed, despite wanting to like it all the way through. The last three hours were painful and, although final bossfights tend to let me … Continue reading →

Posted on March 17, 2010 by Cat

I can’t believe it’s been a month since I last played Mass Effect 2 and yet it feels much longer. I don’t really have any valid excuses either, though there was the annoyance of losing two hours of gameplay when … Continue reading →
