It's funny to use Mario as an example here. Look at all the Mario goodness we've got so far...

That is a truly great intro. However, I'm just not that interested in the games from the arcades and the high score battles at the time so will probably not watch it.

I'm unsure if I actually own Braid on Xbox 360 or if I just played it elsewhere. But that must mean that I'm ready to play it again.

I get them as well and have not visited any naughty sites (at least only as incognito :D)

Damn, stocks rose 3 % after these news. Had my eyes on them for some time but hesitated as they are generally high now. Now they are even higher.

Good to finally know that something is on the way but yeah, another remaster, and another game that I have already played on Wii U. It's a good game but not one I need to replay. Only two original games in a year, and both are more or less similar to earlier entries in their respective series. That's crazy.

The Umbrella Chronicles season 2 has been released. Looking forward to seeing it but I don't have high expectations.

Recently, we got a trailer for Season 2 of His Dark Materials, airing this autumn: Very glad they shot season 1 and 2 back to back. Otherwise, we'd probably have to wait a bit more for it.

Just cleared the fourth streamer and on to the next. I think the game gets better and better as we go, but it was quite dull in the beginning and everything was just... easy. Now the battles are getting tougher and if you don't line them up, it's always 20-30 damage as a minimum. And lining them up correctly is really hard sometimes, especially within the timeframe.Could do with more times to try out different things. I do find the platforming a bit hard, though, as it seems hard to gauge distance correctly sometimes due to weird angles and characters being paper. The dialogue is not as good as previous games, however, I really enjoy what the Toads say when I find them and Olivia is funny because she is so naive and unexperienced in life. Her remarks are really funny at times.

My wife is pregnant. Now, why am I posting this here? Some might recall that three years ago, I got a son with a disease that he got from me, without me knowing about my having it. It's called Hirschsprung's disorder and affects the colon, making it unable to pass through shit to speak bluntly. He was operated thrice and is now a happy toddler, three years old and doing very well. He will live a life with a bit more visits to the loo than a usual human but we're speaking 5-6 times a day if today's standard is something to go by. However, I didn't wish for this kind of situation for another child, so my wife and I went through genetic diagnostics to find the genes responsible for the disease. It went well - albeit a bit slow - and in May, my wife was declared pregnant. We were offered a genetic screening of the fetus to check that the gene was not there and we accepted that. The day after, we got went for a scan (in Denmark, pregnant women are offered a scan of the fetus at week 12 and again at week 20 to check that everything is alright) and here we were told that there was a relatively high risk of Down syndrome - 1:163. So they would check for that as well with the sample they got from the screening the day before. As it turns out, the fetus does not have Down syndrome. However, it has an X chromosome too much. That's not good. If it's a girl it is called Triple X and for boys it's called Klinefelter syndrome. It's worse for boys, making them infertile or completely sterile, giving them boobs, and generally feminine looks because of a lack of testosterone - and lower than average IQ. For girls, it's better but they may also have a lower than average IQ and some other, less clear problems. On paper, it doesn't sound that bad but well, reading up on it it's really not without problems and it's just... frustrating. Here we are, trying to rid the world of one disease only to get another? Why can't we just like.. have a normal pregnancy without all those worries? We got worried with out son because he lacks one of his kidneys which we found out during the pregnancy. This time, we just wanted everything to be OK but no... Now, we need to wait for another analysis - there is the possibility that the genetic samples have been contaninated with some of my wife's tissue (https://www.mayocliniclabs.com/test-catalog/Clinical+and+Interpretive/35479) and thus, nothing to worry about, the baby is fine. But I just don't believe in it as it's just the less likely scenario, I've been hit so many times and have been trying to be optimistic about all of this. If I weren't an atheist, I would have sworn that we were being bullied by some higher powers.

I really dislike that the game makes its puzzles easier without a choice if you fail them twice. At least just ask me if I want it to be easier. I could have just misstep or something.

Just wait till you get to a fight with 3 groups....

OK, who the f*** thought the gimmick with the boos in this game was a good idea?? Nearly got me my first death yesterday, they did.

Push-ups are super-hard if you do them correctly. But it's not "wrong" todo push-ups with a wide grip. It just hits a bit differently and uses more muscles in the chest.

Blue streamer destroyed and a touching moment of parting. Enjoying the game a bit more after But I'm also feeling that it may be a tad too long for its own sake.

Yeah. Emotions aren't our strongest trait. I'd recommend Borgen (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1526318/) if you are into Scandinavian stuff. It's a really good show that Netflix has just picked up on and will release a fifth season of. Sidse Babett Knudsen is the lead actress along with Pilou Asbæk and Birgitte Hjort, three really good actors / actresses.

I have a pair of tights where the pockets run down along my thigh on the outside with plenty of room for a phone and without it bouncing. Something like that could perhaps be an idea?

I have a Garmin Forerunner 235. Its totally fine although it has a hard time measuring my pulse correctly. GPS wise and function wise, it's quite good, though.

Running on softer materials is better wrt. impact, yes. Naturally. However, it's also much harder on the muscles. If you have periostitis or shin-splints it's also better to run in the water (just about ankle deep) for the same reason.

Barefoot running (or natural running) has more impact on the ancle but less on the knees and hips. What @bob says is true, though, just like injuries from boxing got worse when they introduced the padded gloves. Without gloves, you can't hit as hard without injuring yourself. It's crazy how many people just tie some shoes and go for a run without any proper guidance and thus, you see all sorts of running styles and some of those will definitely hurt them in the end. I received some guidance when I was younger and try to remember that - I aim for a midfoot landing as heel landing is too slow for me (and made my knees hurt) and forefoot is only for sprinting.

Demo for Cris Tales coming today (arrived yesterday in the US)

Netflix released Cursed just before the weekend - has anyone seen anything from it? It has been review bombed quite a lot on IMDb so it's impossible to use that for guidance - people complain for the most part that it's a different take on the Excalibur and King Arthur stories, it seems. Rotten Tomatoes gives it a 73 % which seems to be more accurate. Anyway - anyone seen it and can give an honest opinion?

They should have had more games. If you have 8 minutes, don't spend 2 minutes on each game. And don't announce it beforehand, just release it without warning. I don't care for Cadence or SMT so was nothing of interest for me. That's fine. But I hope this is followed up by another presentation soon.
