Eat my (Far)goal
I always wanted to get into a Rogue game, but every one I ever tried was so hideously, impenetrably complex that I gave up within minutes. Then I tried Sword Of Fargoal, and was so impressed with its lemony whiteness that I bought the company. (By which I mean I bought a Twix. Mm, Twix.)
Anyway, the only thing I don’t like about Sword Of Fargoal is that it’s a teeny bit cramped on the iPhone screen, which makes moving around the dungeon slightly more strenuous than it would be in a perfect world where men lived alongside men in peace and harmony and Twixes grew on every tree.
So it’s exceptionally good news that the enhanced iPad version, Sword Of Fargoal Legends, has just had its price all slashed – presumably with said sword – from a fearsome [£3.99] all the way down to an absurdly bargulous [59p]. If you bought it now, you’d have enough money left for a whole bag of Twix Treatsizes at the supermarket tomorrow. Mm, Twix.

Good grief, and Bah! My seemingly irrelevant comment on the last item would have seemed semi-relevant here. Damn you, the future, damn you.

Twix is the most boring of all chocolate bars. If popular chocolate bars were furniture, a Twix would be some nicotine-stained beige curtains hanging in an old man’s lavatory since the 1970s.
I like Rogue games, however, and will be delighted to try out Sword of Fargoal, which I am sure you only found by searching for ‘goal’ and other soccer terms, you rascal.

A search for ‘sword’ would, of course, return all the words beginning with S.

Thanks. I now have 14 (paid for and free) iPad apps, without owning an iPad. Yet. It’s consumerism gone mad!
