Geometry Wars 2
Apr 24th
What a bizarre session. Fifteen or twenty games, only got above 100,000 three times. Which, for those who don’t know, is so crap it’s just plain weird.
However, one of those games saw me get 343,000, beating my previous best score by 50,000 points. How odd.
Eight thousand short of the next target on my friends list though. Bah.
Marble Blast Ultra

Final advanced levels are stupid. I’ve just checked. They will never be completed.
BEGONE!
Football Manager Handheld

Well, I should be happy. Two league wins on the trot have seen us go top of League Two. Priso got a 10 out of 10 rating in one of those matches, my first of the game. I’ve just won Manager of the Month for October. We’ve been drawn in the FA Cup against Cambridge City.
All good things. But putting a downer on all that is the fact that Jo Kuffour got a calf strain in the last game which is going to see him out for two months. I’m really not sure how we’ll do without him. He always seems to be mixed up in the action, even if he’s not scored an awful lot.

Two matches on the bus into work. A league game against a team way below us in the table which we lost, sending us back down into fourth, followed by the first round of the LDV Vans Trophy against Cheltenham, which we won. We’ve drawn Leyton Orient in round two. We should be able to beat them, but I’m not confident about any match right now.

And a 2-0 win against Cheltenham puts us back on track and means I can go to bed feeling slightly more positive.
Gunbird 2
Apr 23rd
The DC version, prompted by someone saying they’d completed it on one credit on their first go.
I got as far as the level two boss once. That was my best effort. And I typed my name in wrong on the high score table.
Sigh.

I finally got up the courage to continue the game. We scored an early goal, but Leicester quickly came back with two of their own and sent us crashing out of the League Cup.
And since that match our league form has wobbled. We’re up into second, but we’ve had a draw or two and we’ve just lost to Rushden away. Morale is still okay, but it’s wavering. I’m worried it’s about to crash. We need a few good wins in a row.

Torquay are now unbeaten in eight games.
We’re fourth in League Two. Unfortunately, the three teams above are also on great form so I’ve been fourth for a few weeks without being able to get any higher.
Next game is the big League Cup match against Leicester, so I’m taking a break before I dare play it.
I’m really crossing my fingers that I get through the next few days without any injuries. Even with a full-strength team I might not be able to win, but I’d like to give it a go.
Pokemon Trozei
Apr 23rd
I have now caught 41.9% of the possible Pokemon.
Last I check, P’anther was at about 55% and that was ages ago. I have some catching up to do.
