Label: "Mischief's afoot - Since 1777 - Legendary"
Brewery: Badger
ABV: 5.0%
Rating: Badger have relaunched their beers with new labels so it's only right that I try them all again. On the back label it says that years ago Head Brewer John Woodhouse got up to leave after sampling the ale and "his mischievous companion, believing a walk was imminent, tangled his owner up with the lead and Woodhouse fell upon the perfect name for this new beer". I'm sure this is a different story than the last label but who cares, it's still great. Here's the old version.
Game: It's dead hard being God. I know because I'm currently playing From Dust, an Xbox Live Arcade game. This is where you have to get your tribes to set up villages and capture totems in order to escape the territory and get to the next area. Trouble is there are tsunamis, lava, water and other stuff to hamper your progress. I haven't played a God game since Populous and I'm beginning to remember why they're so great. Because the tribesman are a bunch of good folk, there are no smiting, disease inducing, or locust sending God powers included unfortunately. 8/10
is out today and Sainsburys were selling it for £26. They had sold out by 8am - so their stock orderers are either complete fools or it was a genius idea to get people into Sainsburys stores. Asda were selling it for £32, again, sold out. Supermarkets obviously suck at judging demand and I refuse to pay £44.99 for it from Game, Gamestation or HMV when everyone else has been getting it for cheaps. Could these three stores not have varied their prices a little to add a bit of retail competition to proceedings? Or did they just price fix knowing the idiotic supermarkets would sell out in about two minutes? Who knows, and more importantly, who cares?
