19 Is Under Construction
Category Archives: Diary
No.18 has been delayed, cos roadworks
Sorry! We’re really very, very, very sorry. But we really do have to do some very important roadworks.
Terribly, terribly sorry.
Roadworks!
No.17 is Diggers
To take a break from pictures of new items, here are some older scenery models… Diggers!
Or Hydraulic Excavators, if you prefer.
Postcard 16 – BOMBS!
If it’s got wiggly wires coming out of it, it can be only one thing!
From left to right: time bomb, egg bomb, proximity bomb (WIP) and sausage bomb.
I’m going to retreat to the shelter and not come out until Tuesday / I’m on holiday.
015 – Decoy (Noisemaker)
It’s a decoy. It makes a loud radio-distortion kind of noise. You could call it a noisemaker… though that’s a bit Alien Isolation.
Hmm… what to call a decoy that makes a noise?
No.14 – devices WIP
Work in Progress.
Basingstoke No.13 – The train to slough
The train to Slough! … it’s due any minute now!
… won’t be long …
… any minute now …
…
PostStoke No.12 – BoomBox
The future of portable Hi-Fi… the Omnisound RC-550 Boombox!
Basingcard No.11 – Zip guns & Blowpipe
It’s amazing what you can knock up with some old metal pipes, a few nails, and bit of sticky tape. Here are some we made earlier.
Postcard No.10 – Cats (1 of 3)
To celebrate the amazing feat of 10 posts in a row (and not just cos it’s a bit late) – the first in an amazing new feature!
Cats! Pictures of cats. This is the first in a series of three (there are three cats).
Last week, Tuesday was quiz night. Not tonight! Instead you get some pictures of cats.
The answers to last weeks quiz though were:
- Sausages
- Cheese
- Pastry/Bread
- Meat (not sausages)
- Fruit (optional)
The trick item of course was the lager. Lager is not a food. Although cider is, and so is wine.
CATS!
CATS!
In your face Cliffski! 🙂
Postcard No.9 – Zip Guns WIP
Work In Progress – Zip guns so far.
Postcard No.8 – Items
It’s Friday night!
If you’re going out, to the pub perhaps, you should make sure to take all these items with you. Something is bound to come in handy.
Postcards from Basingstoke No.7 – DIY
You need tools to do DIY. Hammers and stuff.
Remember, tools can be dangerous if used incorrectly, and always store your tools neatly away after use.
P from the B 006 Internet says no
The internet has melted due to it being a bit warm in the UK it seems, meaning I can’t upload anything today.
So insted of a picture of hammers and stuff wot I was going to do, here’s an old one, which I like to call ‘Police Chief’.
Answers to yesterday’s quiz next Tuesday btw 🙂
P from B 005 – FOOD
TUESDAY IS QUIZ NIGHT!
Food! I think that’s all the food groups covered… but what are they?
PfB 004 – Waterpistol
It’s summer, it’s hot (possibly). It’s waterpistol time!… or if the weather is rubbish, a homemade flamethrower might help to get that BBQ started.
Basingstoke Postcards 003 Pub!
It’s Friday so let’s go to the pub, and drink pints.
Pub!
PUB!
PUB PUB PUB!
Basingstoke Postcards 002 Kebabs!
Kebabs!
Hmmmmmm, Kebabs.
Postcards from Basingstoke 001
To celebrate being 2 years old, more or less, we present a new series of random images from Basingstoke development. One a day*, every day of the year*, perhaps for all time*
* OK, so 3 today to get the ball rolling, might be one a day, might be more, might be er… less.
* apart from at weekends and bank holidays, spring breaks, summer breaks, xmas in general, new year, family visits, weddings, sick leave, shore leave, feeling a bit under the weather, flooding, acts of god, technical problems, being hassled by cats, being lazy devs etc.
* or until we’ve finished it 🙂
The Easter Bunny Visits Basingstoke
Hello watchers and lurkers! We don’t often do a blog post, so when we do, you can always be sure it’s going to be something interesting. This time, just in time for the Easter holidays, we have a little sneak peak at what’s been happening in Basingstoke since the Titans dropped a neutron bomb on it and killed everybody.
As you can see from the video things are coming along nicely. We might even finish it this year! Or at least release it.
The video shows a few new things in it which you’ve not seen before, like the gidlets, which are those cute little swarmy things; and zombies, which are what happens in Basingstoke after about 11pm whether there’s been a neutron bomb or not – an occupational hazard of living there; and there are some nice underground sections with sewers and metro station.
What do you mean Basingstoke doesn’t have an underground railway? This is the future, silly! Of course they’ll build an underground railway. And yes, kebabs will cost £10 in the future too. I know – scary.
