h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I note that you have no mention of the 'Spyro the Dragon' series of games for the PSone in the list on your PSone entry. I have completed all three of the games over the past few months if you want a contribution on them. They are all engagingly daft, relatively simple to play and, with a central character who's small and purple and whose best friend is a golden dragonfly, quite cute as well!

On the subject of Fantasy, I am also into David/Leigh Eddings, having read all of his books right through from 'Belgarath the Sorcerer' (which I finished reading for the first time in a Hotel lobby in Hong Kong!) to 'The Hidden City' several times, though I've only read 'The Redemption of Althalus once to date. I can remember when I first started reading them (back in the bad old days when I was an unemployed ex-student), I was borrowing them from Cardiff City Library as I didn't want to spend money if I wasn't sure whether I'd get into them (having had several false starts with other books), getting through them in a matter of days and hastily going back for the next one; hoping that they hadn't been borrowed by someone else.

Its great to find someone else with similar tastes in literature. Who else do you read???

If u've playe4d any computer games let me no wot they're called and if u are willing to write some reviews I will be very greatful. Just let me no wot u're willing to do and then I'll speak to u further later.

Whoever takes my fancy, really. I don't follow particular authors, though anything that David and Leigh put out is always worth considering immediately without a cautionary trip to the Library first.

I actually got around to re-reading 'The Redemption of Althalus' again last week.

Superb.

I'd be delighted to offer my assistance with 'Spyro', as I have played the games to death and love them in a twee, cutesy sort of way.

OK. So if you would be kind enough to start a new article in which u can write a review for Spyro I'd be very greatful! Once that's done then just post a link to the article here please. Thank you very much....Forever greatful.

Tally

Will do.

I'll make sure there's something serviceable before I post the link, though.

Don't want you linking to a blank page or anything!

Thanx. I'll await in anticipation.

Hi - sorry this is taking a while. I don't have much time online to write entries, and have to do most of my research on notepaper before typing it up!

Anyway - I've done probably about two thirds of the entry now and it can be found at A691409. I do intend to finish it when I get the time, but I can only do it very early in the morning or during my lunch break. The rest of the time I have to w*rk.

Any comments you might have on it would be most welcome. There are probably typos in it as I haven't proofread it yet.

Wot can I say.......WOW!!!! If that's stilled to be finished.....well that is just excellent.....can I take u on full time??? If u could just inform me once u've finished, I can proofread it for u......while I faint in astonishment! This is the best sort of review I could hope for. It just seems a pity ur online time is sooo restricted....but hey...its only school....I presume?

Actually it's work - I left school quite some time ago (14 years ago in fact, doesn't time fly?!). I don't miss school, though I do miss the holidays. I now get less holiday time annually than I used to get for my entire summer break . On the plus side, though, I do get paid for my efforts!

Just to make me feel even more of an old bag, when I left school, they still used BBC Micros in the computer room! Even when I did my typing and wordprocessing exams in the sixth form. I think there was only one PC in the whole school - and that was used for typing the notes we took home...

Sorry.....mistake on my behalf there.....it was just the mention of those wonderful words....break and lunchtime! Oops!

Nah - the only difference between you and me is that I get paid for being bored at my desk!

>ouch<

I also have a rather nice, comfy swivel chair on wheels which can zoom quite effectively across the office carpet - if you zoom across when someone asks you a question it can make you look like a very efficient and capable computer operator who really knows how to make their chair on wheels work. Unfortunately I can only zoom backwards, so I have to be careful not to tip myself over if I hit an obstruction in the floor!

lol.....I suppose u also have a newish computer not a duf like this one?

New-ish - but unreliable. And our internet connection is really unstable, which is another thing that limits my time on line as it sometimes collapses in the middle of my lunchbreak and I can't use it! Plus our network servers keep collapsing, and my 'normal' template in Word ended up getting so corrupted yesterday that it needed to be renamed and I lost a whole load of useful macros.

Mind you, my computer at home is even more unreliable, so I shouldn't complain.


But I will.

These are prettier that those old BBC Micros at school though!

hehehe....oh dear....never mind....me got to go to a lesson soon.....and its lunchtime!!!!

Enjoy - I hope.

PS - really showing my ignorance now, what does lol mean? I've been wondering for a very long time but never actually got around to asking.

lots of laughs.
