More Star Wars goodness

I may be turning 30 this year (shhhhh.)

But lego still features pretty heavily in my wishlists.

And now this:Must. Have.

Unemployed!

Momentous day today. I'm not at work. I am in fact at home. And currently, I have no definite plans to return to work*.

There's an entirely rational explanation for this of course, Mrs Spacmonster and I are moving to Guernsey (my ancestral home and all that) and me being me, I don't have a job to go to. So, whilst the missus is busy working away already, earning a crust to support me in my joblessness, I'm still in London, packing up the flat.

Course, getting all of our gear into movable order, is pretty much the hardest day's work I've had in a while, in fact probably since the last time we moved house, and I haven't even had to move the giant piece of slate yet.

Still - I had time to do this, and I've nearly finished The Force Unleashed so it's not all bad...

* I am looking for a job. Honest.

Lego Indy

Is out this weekend, but I managed to get a sneaky go last night up in Nottingham.

As definitely expected it looks like it's going to be bags (definitely satchel man bags a la Indy) of fun.

First impressions were good I played through most of the Well of Souls level and there is definitely more emphasis on team play than in the Lego Star Wars titles.

For example Indy has a whip to swing across gaps, but can't jump half as high as Marion can (but then as I've explained before - Indy was never the most athletic of action heroes...)

As ever the humour is pretty irreverrent, as you might expect Indy is pretty terrified of snakes, and in the section I played - naturally titled 'Why does it always have to be snakes?' the game gets a lot of mileage out of it, and not just in the cut scenes, Indy's fear of snakes gets into the gameplay as well, needing more of that co-operation stuff to get by the scary things.

Will have to wait though - off to France tomorrow, so any more Indy gaming is postponed till next week.
