Really Spoiling Us


(From the Light Sabre Room)

Well two mentions of Pykrete in a fortnight. The piles of compressed snow that were scooped up by the tractor two weeks ago are still occupying a few car park spaces here. They are very grubby which makes me think that they have picked up quite a lot of stuff that isn't water which is rendering them almost indestructible. Enough of this wittering.

I didn't read much yesterday. Both children were out which gave me a chance to use the newly-acquired Wii on my own. They clubbed together at the weekend to get The Complete Lego Star Wars Saga and a fine thing it is. Not only do you get to wield a light sabre, the remote buzzes like the real thing and so is the closest you can get to the real feeling of one. All those mock-ups have some sort of light-up solid at the front which adjusts the swing as if it were a sword or baseball bat. Not so with a Wii remote. All very enjoyable. I'm not really sure about the comedy interludes with Obi Wan as dork though. Onto Level Four.
