Well, we all do it. For now, Antix is not respawning and has gone to the big top in the sky. For now, at least ...

so instead wave hello to a new Gargoyle skin, Turim (skinned by Slaughter)

UK ISP

Moving house recently and we have been reminded how some companies can do so well in some things but really just miss the point in others. For a couple of years, we have been using Pipex as our broadband provider. There was no installation fee, no join up fee and we could use an ADSL modem that was given us free by a friend. We were connected ahead of schedule. Then they upgraded our speed from 512K to 2M free of charge and continued to provide an uncapped, unmetered service. Beuno! And then we moved ... For some reason, Pipex were unable to move our account to the new address, even though we had the phone number moved. I had to cancel the account and start a new one. Anyone want to write in and explain just why that is? In any case, we are sticking with Pipex for the moment but we are keeping tabs on a number of other providers whom we may well switch to if the high level of customer service that they had provided appears to have wondered off. In no order (all are uncapped and allow ...

Games of 2017 - what I've actually played

Okay so this one is a little late ... I've neglected this blog throughout 2018 but here is at last the list for games played through 2017. It follows on from the 2016 list (at this link ) and leads into the 2018 list (posted here). This years gaming total is higher at 150 total games played. There were only 12 completions but another 19 games that have at least story completion. There were nine demo's - again which I'm couting as separate to full games as progress in the demo isn't transferred to the main game. Rare replay has 30 games of which I tried each one once, and Tales From the Borderland I've separated out into five games (of which three episodes I played in 2017) and these I think contribute to a massive increase from 2016, alongside the 26 games for the Cancer Research marathon. There is a marked increase in Android games, as I look for an offline game that will tide me over (and not really finding one) and I'm using the Xbox much more th...

I used to have a life once

Below is a copy of an article from the Daily Telegraph (link here ) which details one man and his WoW addiction. Even my mum got it :) But that was before Sam Leith joined the monster-killing millions in the online game World of Warcraft So my gnome rogue, hoping to level up, is grinding his way through some leprous gnome exiles, picking the odd pocket for coppers, and vaguely searching for a dwarf, when he spots an intriguing doorway. So, here I am, at 3.30am on a working day, red-eyed from bashing up trolls. And, I might add with a twinge of shame, 33 years old He stealths, and starts waddling down the gently sloping stone corridor. A little way ahead, I can see where the passageway makes a right turn. Then this funny little mob shows up, then adds, and barely do I know I'm in combat before I'm toast. Didn't even get a Sinister Strike in. A fast-moving L30 night-elf hunter breezes past my corpse, then stops, and turns round. He notices the dead gnome is level 7. "Du...
