You know, you can just use Song of Double Time to go to the dawn of the next day if you like. Then others can go to some specific hour - if they like... It's weird that going back to the first day doesn't save the game but apart from that, I don't really see much of a difference to the game itself. You can still play it the old way!

I'll be getting MM3D as the only game in Q1 and Q2, I believe. Nothing on the horizon that I find interesting but that's fine. It'll give me some time to get through the backlog - which is thinning nice and slowly now.

Yeah, the amiibo stuff in this is rather boring. Anyone knows of a reward for finding the sprites? --- I'm up to Mummy-Me Forever now. Got to lvl 25 before I got trapped in a corner with some rugby-player-enemies and died - didn't really have any problems up to then. Don't know if I want to complete it, it was rather boring to walk around like that. I've spent about 12 hours on the game now, and whilst I've had fun, I've also been bored when playing for more than an hour or so.

Anyone knows the duration of this direct?

You can unlock most by just battling in Smash. I think every character is unlocked after 100 matches. Or you can play through Classic with different characters.

Finished the main game 100 % yesterday. Can't say that I loved the game, but I enjoyed it for the most part anyway. I think that its main problem was that it was a bit samey so playing for an hour or more became a bit trivial. I'll do more of the bonus levels during this week - so far I've done the Mummy-Me levels and the prologues. I've spent 11 hours and 11 minutes on the game so it's definitely worth its price!

It looks really good!

Ah. That might be true.

Hm? We got the gold sprayed cartridges in Europe? At least for MM.

This game is still lying around, unopened. I need to get into it after Captain Toad, I think, but I'm not that fond of zombies in general. However, the above posts gave me a desire to play it, it sounds good.

Have any of you seen Marco Polo on Netflix? I'm almost done with it and I found it quite good. It has a good story, nice pacing, and interesting characters - although they aren't quite round enough; evil is evil and good is good, only a few have motives that could be evil in some sense and good in other. The setting is quite nice and a good change - I don't know much about this part of the world and its history. It's good entertainment, though, so you should watch it if you enjoy this kind of series.

Tough choice. I chose Guacamelee! because I had great fun with it when I reviewed it. I'm only now playing Shovel Knight, and whilst I have fun, I don't find it as good as people have led me to believe. I haven't played SteamWorld Dig but have it on the Wii U so will get around to it soon, same almost goes for Stealth Inc 2, which I'm about 3 or 4 hours into. Art of Balance and Tetrobot & Co. are good games but not near GOTY material. Bayonetta is the odd one out here as it's also retail in some sense.

All this talk about getting the game early has really made me want to go search for it and get it now. But it's not released earlier here in Denmark. Also, I already have enough to play over the Christmas holidays and, well, I'm not even sure I want this game!

Sorry, it was on a Danish site so you couldn't take advantage of it anyway.

Yup. I'm very focused on keeping my back straight as I feel that I'm bending a bit too much backwards on the last rep. I find that it helps really squeezing my buttocks together - which incidentally also stops my leg(s) from shaking - and then I'm also focusing on holding the bar straight all the time. That's actually pretty hard as one arm tends to be a bit stronger than the other.

I don't understand how people can push >60 kg above their heads. It's just impossible for me to grasp!

Congrats on the 100 kg! That's a major milestone. I need to get back up there with good form. Also good job on the shoulder press - I struggle at 4 reps of 43 kg for more than one set, simply can't get it up! However, my max is 48 kg so I think it's alright to do 42 kg 8x4. I'm progressing as well but in a different way. Since I started seeing a physician, my hip/groin has become much better. The physician says that it's alright for me to do anything that doesn't hurt and deadlift and backsquats don't really hurt - in fact, deadlifts are great! I do sets of 10 and then 8 sets, going up in kg every set. In deadlft, I go from 62 to 75 kg - it's not heavy for me but I have decided to strengthen my overhand grip in stead of twisting my hands. This is the hard part. For squats, I do 50-55 and and 6 sets of 60 kg, all 10 reps. That's a bit hard on the legs, the last two sets are tough. Other than that, I do 6 minutes planking every day - we call it the "meatball" because every minute I rotate. So 1 minute is normal, then Superman-hold, then right-side, then left-side, then reverse plank and at last just a normal one again. Hopefully, I am free of pain in a couple of months.

Huh, never noticed that in any other game. I'll look into it. Thanks.

I'm playing this on the Wii U, mainly on the GamePad. However, when I turned on the TV I noticed that there was a bit lag between TV and GamePad. When I pressed Jump, Shovel Knight jumped on the GamePad slightly before he did so on the TV screen - and the sound came out a bit later too. Has any of you noticed this?

So, I guess we got our answers in Ep 9

Two can play that game: http://www.theguardian.com/science/2011/mar/07/safe-level-alcohol-consumption As Sheikah said, studies do not agree. But more recent studies have shown that it is a myth, which he also pointed out. In the 60s, smoking wasn't bad for you either.
