Cache Prize !
August 18th, 2008Monthly meanderings…
yes, I’ve been away from here from here for far too long…reasons are many and varied, some of which I don’t want to talk about on a public weblog….but there has been plenty going on at “Dunworking’s Domain”…
Run DMC (4)
I’ve finally completed “Devil May Cry 4″ (on the PC at least). Given that the PC game market is supposed to be dying in the face of competition from the consoles, I’m pleased to say that with this and “BIOSHOCK”, I’ve enjoyed two excellent titles that show the PC can hold it’s own in the gaming world…
Yes, I know that DMC4 was originally a console title, but trust me, the PC version is the best I’ve played. When finishing both titles, a sense of “what now?” hit me, as I realised I’d probably have to move onto other, lesser things. This I have done at the moment, with “Call of Duty 4″ next on the roster. It’s ok, the graphics are good, and the sense of “being there” is to the fore, but it’s an endless fire-fight, with not much interaction. Shoot a bit, move a bit, shoot a bit more.
I’ve also got round to updating MAME32FX as well. This, providing you ignore (at your own risk!) the “grey area” regarding downloading of game ROMS, could give you access to over 5,000 games at a stroke. Yes, most of them would disgrace a calculator, but there are some gems.
The Football Season is here !
That time of year when I start poring over league tables, and don my anorak to update my teams in Fantasy Football & Football Manager is here again. Pagham FChave already played three games this season, winning against Oakwood awayand East Preston at home before being soundly thrashed by Hythe Town in the F A Cup last Saturday. Portsmouth FC have not started well, losing in the Charity Shield and then being found out 4-0 by Chelsea yesterday.
Playing cat and mouse…
Our two cats are growing week by week, with Sooty (as seen below) managing to perfect a mean look by virtue of losing all her white eyebrows. They’re both at an age where anything and everything is fair game for their teeth and claws, and the garden fences no longer are any barrier to them…many happy (!!) hours are spent coaxing them down from where they shouldn’t be…

Rattle my bones
Is it me, or was Bonekickers particularly awful ? In places I thought it was so bad it was brilliant. Something of a surprise coming from the “Life on Mars” team.
A Night At The Opera
With my Nokia E-61 still going strong, I downloaded the Opera Mini browser the other day. And a fine peice of software it is too. Seems quicker than the inbuilt browser, and makes a very good phone even better (note for one of my more regular readers…give up on that rubbish LG phone you’ve been complaining about and get an E-61i, or better still an E-71 :LOL: )
