Advance Wars: Dual Strike

Posted in Gaming, Nintendo at 23:15 by djn

Finally! I reached level 10 with two of my CO’s in Advance Wars: Dual Strike. Giving that the amount of time I spend on gaming has declined drastically since the completion of my studies at Daimi, I feel that this is quite an accomplishment :)

I fixed the error messages when no results are found on Amazon with an ISBN search. The default error gave the impression that the script had failed and not that the search returned zero results.

Oceans Eleven

My girlfriend decided that Oceans Twelve is a movie worth seeing. But before doing so she decided Oceans Eleven must be seen first.

So last night we watched Oceans Eleven. Very amusing and I’m looking forward to seeing Oceans Twelve.

Watching telly…

I finally got around to watch some of the episodes of Battlestar Galactica Season 1. It is very entertaining and a defintely worth some time and money.

Some of the episodes doesn’t seem to have that much content, but focus of the series is also on character development and not only “action”. I especially liked the episodes where Starbuck crashes on some moon after a rendezvous with some Cylon Raiders. She repairs and flys a Cylon Raider, thereby discovering that they are specially constructed only for flying and are part biological and part machine.

Also the episode “Tribunal” deserves mentioning. Due to a Cylon bombing aboard the Galactica an independent tribunal is set up to investigate the circumstances. After the whole thing turns into a recular witch-hunt, Commander Adama shuts the whole thing down. Much to the dismay of certain Sergeant ;) Very amusing, me thinks.

Can’t wait to see more episodes :D
