1 red bull
\n 1 mountain dew
\n 2 pints of pepsi<\/p>\n

And I’ve ended with with the basis of a really boring shooter called “The NME is the weapon” which basically will only interest people of a certain age who like derivative shooters based on a single weak pun.<\/p>\n

To improve matters I added lots of other weak puns based on popular song titles so if you want to see a level based on the combined premise of a Donovan song title merged with some classic Sultan of Pings FC lyrics and understand why shooting 23 sheep on a level called Wednesday 3am will trigger a 3am Eternal event you are in the right place.\u00a0 With added Sinclair ZX Spectrum style palette choices.<\/p>\n

Man I’ve really limited my audiance.\u00a0 Still it’s got a level where you throw Doner Kebabs<\/a> at Chavs<\/a> who wouldn’t like that?\u00a0 Once what each of them are explained the concept is universal I’m sure.\u00a0 Think of them as Burritos and Red Necks or local equivalents where available and everything still won’t make much sense.<\/p>\n

Baby is still asleep, eldest son is on the 360 and Wii and my perfect girlfriend is making a massive pizza that is about an hour away.\u00a0 I can spare about 5 hours tomorrow to finish off.\u00a0 What can go wrong?<\/p>\n

Apart from the concept is alien to most people, the gameplay sucks and I have no gfx or sfx done yet \":)\"<\/p>","time":"August 21st, 2010 9:29 am","title":"The story so far \u2013 The NME is the Weapon"}
