The German Grand Prix will sadly not be a part of the real F1 season in 2015 (and its long term future is in doubt too), but here on the Wii game diary, it remains a fixture – in real life the 2010 German Grand Prix would be held at Hockenheim, but the game cannot […]
A word before I begin – I missed out Round 7 (Turkey) as I ran the race ages ago, won it, and promptly forgot to post a report! It evidently can’t have been that memorable! Nor really, was this latest Silverstone adventure. I am simply not quick here. Despite somehow managing to stick the car […]
Once in a while, a game comes along that defines its generation. A game so brilliant, that to give it 10/10 would be to underscore it. For me, A Link to the Past is that game. It is a work of art in the 16-bit medium. This game is not only beautiful to look at […]
Firstly, you might be asking ‘Starwing? I thought you were reviewing Starfox!’ Well, I am, only the game was called Starwing in the UK due to copyright, hence the above image. Starfox was the first SNES game to use the Super FX chip, a new feature that allowed for 3D polygons to be used to […]
Having taken an unlikely win at Monaco last time out, I was pretty confident of winning here again, but this time it was not to be. An easy pole was converted into an early lead, but I would fail to concentrate properly, with the consequence being I lost my front wing (twice) and lost out […]
It would be fair to say that Spain is a circuit I thoroughly enjoy. It was the scene of my first win in the 2009 season and with a year’s worth of experience, not to mention the strategy of three stops and most stints on softs, this was an easy pole and easy pole and […]
I’ll be honest, it’s been a few days since this race and I don’t have all the details of this race stored in my head. I do know that this was not an especially good race for me in the 2009 season, so I was hoping for better things here. Qualifying wasn’t great, though I […]
So after a brief break it was back to the fray and back to China for round 3 of the 2010 season. The first two races had gone very well – wins at circuits I hadn’t quite been able to quite win at before had given me confidence ahead of Shanghai. Last time around I […]
So, the second race of season 2 brings us back to Sepang, Malaysia – where I didn’t fare too well last time. My first run through here saw the race run in wet conditions and I struggled, ultimately putting the brake assist on in order to handle the circuit and conditions. This time around, I […]
So, having won the 2009 F1 championship with a final-race win at Abu Dhabi, after a short break it was time to return to action – to defend my title. The game doesn’t generate any new tracks for 2010, nor does it reorder the races, so it was back to Australia for the 2010 race! […]
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, […]
