Having won my second world championship with comfortable ease, I moved on season three with high hopes, but also a new team – I left BMW Sauber for the famous Ferrari team! As ever, the season started in Australia, and I wanted to try something a little different. In practice I wanted to see how […]
The final round of my second full season of F1 2009 Wii Edition was, to be honest, an anti-climax. I dare say this is the easiest race of the season, with a track that isn’t especially tricky and an AI that is overly cautious. I qualified on pole without breaking a sweat, and would not […]
The most recent title I’ve reviewed so far, The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword was the last Zelda game to be released before the Wii U was launched, and it incorporated Motion Plus features of the Wii Remote, enabling the actions of Link to mimic the actions you took with the remote – a key […]
The penultimate round of season two of this little F1 project brings us back to Brazil, and Interlagos. This track has borne witness to late drama in F1 – the title was decided here in 2007, 2008 and 2012. For me, in this fictional career, the title was already mine, so there was no pressure, […]
The Japanese Grand Prix was the latest race run, as Season Two of this little adventure enters its twilight phase. Coming to this race, I was 29 points clear of Jensen Button, with only 30 points available. Owing to being guaranteed a better record on count-back (thanks to more wins), Button needed me to score […]
Arriving (metaphorically of course) to the Singapore Grand Prix, I was 27 points clear in the title race with a maximum of 40 points available. If I took 3 or more points than Jensen Button, the championship would be mine for the second year running, with three races to spare (whereas in my first season, […]
So the European leg of the season came to a close with the Italian Grand Prix at Monza. This track has the highest average speed of any track in Formula 1, with only a few chicanes and moderately tight corners to break up fast curves and straights. It has not been a circuit I’ve traditionally […]
The famous circuit of Spa in Belgium was the destination for round 12 of my second season on F1 2009, and it would be fair to say I thoroughly enjoy this track. It is fast, and I am fast here, Even in wet conditions (which took place during qualifying) I was able to pump in […]
Returning to my fictional F1 career, round 11 took us to Valencia, a street circuit that no longer hosts F1 events in reality (last hosting a race in 2012). I scored no points here in my first season, struggling to adapt to the track and making an error that would damage my front wing and […]
Returning to Hungary is like slipping into a warm bath. I enjoy this circuit, which is pretty quick and doesn’t offer up anything too challenging (unless you drop your concentration). Turn 1 is great – a huge right-hander, and turn 4 can be hit with decent speed, but a lack of care can see you […]
In the not so distant future, I will have been blogging at Meerkat Musings for TEN years. That's sort of scary. I never set out to reach a milestone like that, but ten years on, Meerkat Musings feels like my home-on-the-web, so to speak. #BloggingCommunity
Now, this I find difficult. Of those I have tried, which admittedly is not many, I am rather fond of McDonald's fries, though Burger King's have grown on me.
Do you vote in political elections? You can bet your ass that I vote! Ever since I was a young meerkat, I have regarded exercising my right to vote as an important civic duty. I always vote in general elections, and try to vote in local elections too. I can understand why some people abstain, […]
