I wanted to, but traded it a while back because something else was out that I needed more. The idea is that I'm going to get it back when I have proper time to devote to it (being an offline game it doesn't matter about the timing).

By the way Paul have you played the Ghibli game Ni No Kuni yet?

I have. Very good game in some respects, others... horrendous. The art, story and characters are all postiive, the battle system woeful (think Pokemon, but with AI like your pet goldfish...).

I thoroughly enjoyed it, but it's a case of getting a certain set of familiars, then using whatever tactic makes that battle easier so that you can compensate for negligent AI. Samey.

Excellent! Though the PC version has a lot more features. If she wants to learn more and enjoys watching youtube videos she might like PaulSoaresJnr AKA Minecraft Dad. He is one of the many hundreds of people who quit their day job in tech support to earn big money making Minecraft videos (as well as playing many other new and old games). He's very family friendly (lots of kids watching with their dads) and I've been watching his videos for a year now. That link is for his tutorial series.

Morning.

My eldest has just found Minecraft after a couple of her friends at school mentioned it, so I've been letting her build stuff on the 360 version. Seems to be enjoying it.

Heh, I don't suppose you or your girls have ever seen real snow before pb. I know your wife hasn't as she's from the south of Spain.

Actually my mum told me my sister-in-law's parents just experienced hail for the first time in their lives recently. (They're in Ecuador)

I'm hoping you all get some nice weather soon. It's Easter this weekend right? Better mail order my creme egg, I'll no go without chocolate again this year.

We did have snow in 2010 and 2011. First time I'd seen it in Exmouth and first time the girls had ever seen it. But hardly anything in 2012 and nothing at all this year.

Evenin all...

Get your egg from around here Machie ... it'll be frozen solid, covered in about an inch of solid snow, so should keep nice and fresh for you!

As Smedders has mentioned, tomorrow into Thursday is our next Armaggedon :¬)

Nothing here, Machie. Don't know what these guys are talking about, must be on something if you ask me.. ;)

Supposed to return later this week for the Midlands. Still got my snow shovel out.
