Glad I held off on finishing this. Not a bad choice of game for those people who get a 25 quid eShop card for Christmas.

You happen to sound off a Super Horn, the exact moment I make contact. And considering that was 200cc, it was more than a little lucky.

Weird coincidence, that. Dialga is the only one I'm aiming for now. Once I get one, I'll keep it for you.

I'm more concerned with whether @Nolan is actually Spider Man.

OK, I'm done for tonight. Thanks for the games, guys!

That new music is so perfect! I love hilarious, hyperactive jazz.

Oh right, that'd make sense. Must never have noticed it before.

Woah, hold up... Guys, have Private rooms always had room for 10 players? Or am I just being stupid? Anyway, @dazzybee, who else are we waiting for?

Doesn't matter, if you join me, they can join you in the friends menu via yourself. EDIT: But just to cover my bases... 3034-9087-7910

I've opened a private room now. The password is 4444. @nekunando, @dazzybee, @DuD and anyone else who might be interested. I take it everyone is fine with Random stage, Rotating modes?

I am incredibly disappointed that you didn't go with "Squids these days"

Awww... I love you too.

He is. The very same Dennis that ruined my Rainbow Road race 3 weeks ago.

Same here. Getting an itchy mouse finger about buying one, but I would literally only be buying it for Odyssey. And it's a lot of money for that. My general rule for consoles is never buy it for one game. I don't care how good it is, if you're not 100% certain you want something else, you'll only regret it.

I'll be available from 9, if that's cool.

Pretty good review, @Mr-Paul. I'd say you were spot on. Anyway, I've started catching legendaries. Not because I want them, I just want to unlock the music. I've got a Ho-Oh, Tornadus, Raikou, Reshiram, Heatran, Latios and best Pokemon, Groudon, which are exclusive to Ultra Sun. So if any Mooners want some, just ask. Don't care what I get in return.

I can only hope his prediction turns out to be true. No matter how you spin it, lootboxes have had a wholly negative impact on gaming. Thanks for the video link, it was interesting to see where this all started.

No major changes, but an awful lot of drops and rises in averages. As @Nicktendo noted, he finally got a second placing! Imagine ending the year with that gap!? Close call. We're getting to the home stretch now, and it might seem like the results are all but decided, so in a possible catastrophic move, I present to you. Glen-i's Disastrous December Death Themes! I hope you're ready for completely unnecessary, gimmick-y themes that no-one will ever like. Because I sure am! And we're doing them all month. This first theme is based on an idea from @Dcubed Next League Night: 30th November 8pm Room 1 @BowserBasher is host @Glen-i @BowserBasher @martinist @punio75 @viceview51 As you no doubt must have noticed, this week's gimmick no-one asked for is Smart Steering. This is completely mandatory and must be used. Don't think I won't notice, because I will check all of the replays for that antenna and if I see someone not playing ball, they'll come last for that race. And just to cover my bases, here's how you turn on Smart Steering. Alternate Parts P-Wing - Use the Circuit Special Cyber Slick - Use the slick tyres Wario Wing - Use the Plane Glider Sign up Now!

Here are the results. GP1 GP2 GP3 Table and theme will be up soon. Especially the theme In the meantime, here are mine and @Dcubed's highlights. He's on the left, I'm on the right. @viceview51 and @punio75 also have an unfortunate moment here.

Well, seems like we might be able to get some more players for private sessions (You could change gear in that since the start) in the future then. Good news! We need more moments like this.

Not necessarily, while the basic storyline of good VS evil is normally pretty by-the-books, Pokemon games, especially lately, has some great characters with interesting backgrounds. It started with Ghetsis and N in Black/White and has carried on with a number of characters in Sun/Moon. Even old characters like Anabel from Emerald has been retconned to have more interesting backstories. Plus, if you want great storylines with surprisingly dark undertones, you go to Mystery Dungeon. That certainly makes a lot of sense. Which is more than I can say for other fan theories. (That Kangaskhan and Cubone one has more holes in it than an Exploud) In fact, after seeing Giovanni's team in US/UM, I think it's pretty much canon. Although, you did remind me that in the original games, Gengar, the only Ghost type, is actually one of the worst Pokemon you could put up against a Mewtwo. Due to Gen 1's lack of any good Ghost attacks and Gengar's Ghost/Poison typing. Nothing to do with the theory, just a funny side effect of Gen 1's balance issues. It's a reasonable point, I wasn't trying to suggest that the quality of their plan was the most important aspect to them. I just found it fun to think about "What if's". No, he definitely isn't. But Guzma is a very interesting case. His ambitions are incredibly, well, unambitious. He's content to just interrupt people doing the Island Trials, and during the course of the game, if the player looks hard enough, you can find plenty of stuff that fills in more of Guzma's backstory. As much as I roll my eyes at the constant Kanto references in Sun/Moon, it certainly has some of the most interesting characters in Pokemon, and I hope that Game Freak keep that trend up. (With a bit more Gen V plot quality) Oh, and I just want to point out, that just because I didn't mention the anime or manga, doesn't mean no-one else can. I just know incredibly little about them, so I didn't want to focus on them. Oh, and for reference. My favourite villain is from the second Mystery Dungeon game. Ghetsis is my favourite mainline one.

OK, I'm done as well. Great games guys. Love how tight it got at times. Also love how much @RedShell and I killed each other at the same time.

I'm gonna open a private room then. Let's get some 3 on 3 going. Password is 4444.

Yo, @Blade, you coming? Oh, wait, there you are.

Well, Turf Wars it is, I'm not leaving fellow N-Europer behind. Turf War it is. I've opened a room.
