Ah, so that’s who half_of_monty is… I couldn’t work it out! Um, I don’t know when you might meet her. I’ve told her all about LES, and she fully approves—she’s a big Wodehouse fan—and I’m going to take her to see Cambridge some time soon.

Well, hope it continues marvelously! And indeed very exciting about the Bach! I’m afraid I’ll be in France then, so I won’t be able to come to hear you, what a shame.

Well, as a Zelda fanboy I am required to say its fantastic. Some of the puzzles in it are quite hard, but I would still recommend it as an involving game with a fantastic story.

Paper Mario is reputably fantastic.

Metroid is less an FPS an more an adventure game in which you shoot things. In some ways, it plays similarly to Zelda - running around, finding new items which unlock abilities that allow you to go new places. I have enjoyed the metroid games I've played in the past, but not as much as Zelda.

WiiFit might be good if you fancy using it for entertaining exercise...

Well, I think I once played a Zelda game (if I’m not getting names mixed up), that must have been the only, or at least one of the very few, such games I ever played through. I liked it, because it was sort of role-play like, with fantasy. But I think I also once played some Paper Mario, which was quite fun. Hope you enjoy your games!

An afterthought – Paper Mario is much better than it looks! That might be worth considering instead of Zelda.

Oooh - you should definitely get a Wii! I love mine to pieces. Your choice of games is good (particularly Rayman, which whilst addictive is very good fun, and yet still feasible to complete. Also great for having friends round)

As for Zelda - I also own this, and whilst it's a very good game (as all Zeldas are) it gets pretty tough pretty quickly, and takes a while to get through. I'm still a long way off finishing! That said, it's a great fun way to spend your time if you don't mind being challenged (sometimes beyond your ability).

I haven't played Metroid Prime, but have herd some good things about it. For a shoot-em-up type game it might be worth looking into Red Steel - it really stretches the Wii to its full extent, and you get to blast people to bits (always good for laugh).

Hope this helps! Also, hope your life is going well aside from sad things. hug

Just to add another wedding experience to this: I went to the wedding of an old school friend, and there wasn’t a single single man there, and only two single girls (one of them me…). And the place cards were per table, so ours looked like this:
Sabine und Alex
Kai und Renate
Someoneelse und someoneelse
Julia

Very depressing…

Tell me about it, I’m feeling ever so single too…maybe all those singles we know should all get together and have a singles night where we drink gin and sit on the pavement and sing songs about how love is doomed and everything ends in divorce…just to cheer ourselves up…
