Ah, misunderstood then!
But apart from that I think the Zelda music is much, much better than Splatoon and as such it needs to be highlighted much more.

No mention of the Splatoon concert though?
It went online a few days ago:

A reveal of Switch 2 along with a price cut on Switch would be viable and may sustain Switch sales through the year but I struggle to see how they would release enough new games for old Switch gamers to be satisfied.
I have a backlog and would still buy some games even if Switch 2 was around the corner, though.

Finally almost done mapping the underground, helping me find the remaining Shrines. So will finally soon be able to finish the game!
Or finish it... At least defeat the final boss. Have tried to find out which side adventures to focus on but there is just so much to do...

Yeah, I have been looking at that Bowser car since the reveal. It looks fun. My son wants it as well, so I hope I can get it at a good price at some point.

Finally found me a proper barbell, a 15 kg one, for a decent price (about £45 used, but like new). I need some plated now but I can find those used as well if I'm lucky. I'm not in a hurry but it would be nice to get about 60 kg on the barbell.
I also recently got a treadmill. My wife wanted one for getting back into running after giving birth in August. Or January 2021, I don't think she has run since my second child was born. It's not the best in the market but it is good enough for us, I think. I've only tried it for finishers (1 km at about 16 km/h) after a workout and it worked fine.
So now all that's left is for me to have the energy to work out in the evening once all the children are asleep.

Watched Scott Pilgrim Takes Off yesterday and really enjoyed it. However, I do think that you need to watch the original film or read the comics in order to really get what's so great about the new show.
A part in the middle was a bit off, though.
SpoilerWhen we first heard about the movie and saw some scenes from it, it was awesome, but then moving into that documentary style felt wrong, and then suddenly cancelling the movie made those episodes feel rather pointless.
I also found some scenes with Scott to lack in the voice acting department - not enough excitement or similar. It got better again, though, so it was just a few missteps, I think.
The animation was good but they added some blurring to the front and back which was especially clear in the beginning and I think it was hard to look at on a big screen.
But this is nitpicking, it really felt like a good extension to the Scott Pilgrim universe.
-
Yeah, I did. It was a good, old-school RPG, albeit a bit linear with a bit of hand-holding at times. The time mechanic was fun enough but wasn't necessary for completing the majority of the battles and wasn't that well utilised when you boiled it down. Still a fun game with some great characters and visuals. I remember it had a lot of loading screens, which I hope they have fixed by now.
It took me about 20 hours to complete.

I think I've read somewhere that they are building up the Sinister Six team with these movies. That would tie in well with some Spider-verse movie in a few years.
But yeah, Madame Web looks quite meh, though the character is quite interesting. Might catch it on streaming.

I got it for review purposes. It's good fun, mostly in multiplayer, with a lot of laughs. I didn't have any problems with controls bar a single boss fight that needed me to be very accurate with lasers which took quite a few attempts.
Also tried playing it with my son (6 years old) and he found it fun but a bit hard.
My biggest gripe with the game is the amount of content. Yeah, sure, lots of microgames but not enough game modes to play them in. Once the story is done - which takes less than 2 hours - there really isn't much to do alone, especially if you don't care much for high scores. And with only four multiplayer modes - five if you are four players - it quickly runs out of gas.

There's also some real gameplay now:

I believe Netflix tries to put out content at the same time all over the world. So it's more a question of them getting the streaming rights on Europe. I hope they did.

Nintendo put out a trailer for this yesterday.

We just bought a treadmill for our garage gym. Got it Tuesday but haven't had the time to assemble it yet. My wife wanted one for training after giving birth so she wouldn't have to dress up for a really short run. She can then combine it with our waterrower and weight equipment for some effecient exercise during winter season, while staying close to our daughter.
We also held my daughters baptism recently, and an electrician just finished upgrading lights in our home.
So yeah, a lot of money has just been spent!

I'd be okay with that, though. Maybe not high quality media (story-wise) by today's standards but entertaining and beautiful.
Don't forget the Master Sword, though. That will be the item that Link will have to find to kill Ganon. Deku Tree is Gandalf.
-
They should just make a new story in the Legend of Zelda-world rather than copying what the games contain. That wouldn't make any sense at all. But having the princess find the chosen one to make him help take down Ganondorf and his hoard of evil monsters, all ending in a giant battle, Link vs. Ganondorf, like the Spaceworld 2001 demo. It'll probably be inspired by the LotR-movies, setting-wise.

I don't think it's that short. I reckon most people will spend 20 hours getting 100 % in the game, or at least getting all Wonder Seeds and Purple Coins.

Ha, golden shower for the princess!
You didn't end up soloing it, did you? I agree a visual indicator on the world map of how complete levels are would be welcome. Navigating to levels from the menu is good and handy but imo it'd be extra convenient if you directly started the level you choose rather than just being transported to it.
My son played a few of the levels which I haven't even tried yet. Going through those as he did not care about secret stuff!

I also got to the end credits the other day and am going through courses where I missed something. The course overview is really good in this regard but when standing next to a course that has been cleared it should show what was found in that course.
It's very satisfying to open up secret levels and routes in this game, and I'm itching to get back to it. I just don't have the time right now.
-
Yeah. That sucked lives from me as well. After a few attempts, I just said fuck this and looked it up. Ashamed of that, but whatever.

It was the Airship one that is located at the bottom of the screen without any platforms beneath it. Haven't picked it up yet.

I came across a Big Purple Coin today that seemingly required a specific badge. I have not met that before (this was world 6). Besides the obvious like Dolphin Kick Badge in underwater levels and Badge Challenge levels, is there any other coins that require specific badges?

Yeah, I'm interested in getting this for Switch at some point, I hope it does well and is a decent port. My wife even showed interest in it so maybe it's something we could enjoy together, if we had the time.

Got this in a bargain sale Tuesday and have tried it a couple of times now.
The difficulty set itself to about 25 for me which means I have to do 25 reps of each exercise. That's a bit harsh because it takes a lot of time for each encounter, but it's nice that half of them are static holds which then turns into 12 quick attacks.
Did the first boss battle Wednesday but lost as I wasn't expecting him to attack twice in one round and thus released the ab guard (which I don't feel at all) prematurely. Won the battle today, though, and then went on to do the next level.
Also tried a custom workout, went for glutes and trapezius at hardcore difficulty. Got average scores of 98/100 on both without straining myself (average pulse at about 90 bpm with a couple of spikes to 140). Totally about 40 minutes.
Overall it was an alright workout but I very much doubt I'll be able to feel it much tomorrow, and I don't feel like I need a bath (my wife might disagree). It was a good way to do something on a lazy Sunday night, though, but I prefer my usual go-to workout of 25 minutes of light rowing or 30 movements in 30 minutes. Next time I think I'll go through all custom workouts to see if that does something to me.
I'll also try to get my wife to try it out, but she isn't really motivated by gamification.
