So I downloaded the latest DLC earlier, and spotted there was a new episodic quest involving...

Well one thing is certain, the R.O.B. amiibo won't be needing any support pillars. Still worried about DHD though...

Yeah, it's been quite a while since anything was shown, will be a shame if it doesn't make 2015. Same for The Tomorrow Children, I really hope that will be released this year.

No Blaze? That doesn't seem right for this game.

Yeah, I've heard similar things before too, but I think that's more to do with using really high powered vacuum cleaners. Most of them have a setting to reduce the suction power a bit though, and you can always just adjust the distance between what you're cleaning if not.I've been hoovering my consoles/PCs for years anyway, never had a problem.

So Ether One seems to be the only dud in this month's PS+ selection, or perhaps it's just a really bad port. But I downloaded it yesterday and as soon as I started it up, it crashed. Restarted the PS4 and tried again, this time it ran but it made the fans on my PS4 go absolutely nuts! Seriously, it sounded like a fucking airplane was taking off! Was constant too, regardless of what was going on in-game. As soon as I closed it (which was pretty damn soon ) the fans slowed down and it was back to normal. Doesn't appear to have been optimised for PS4 at all, nasty stuff.

I just use the little brush attachment on the hoover, it moves the dust off while simultaneously sucking it up. Best way to clean the air vents too.

I finished my first playthrough of The Unfinished Swan last night. Very surreal game. Having to reveal the environment around you is a brilliant idea (although splatting that paint didn't help with my Splatoon withdrawal symptoms ) I also really enjoyed the use of sound, particularly the surround sound, was fun chucking paintballs up as high as possible and then moving forward slightly to hear them splatting on the ground behind me. I've also been playing Guacamelee! Super Turbo Championship Edition again. I say again, but it was the original version I'd played before, so I am getting to enjoy some new features with STCE. Have also noticed a few changes that aren't so good though, like changing the DA logo to not look so much like EA's and they also got rid of the seizure inducing screen flash when collecting a power-up (although having the light bar on the DS4 freak out at that point is a nice touch ). I wasn't planing to play through Guacamelee again so soon, but it's just such an awesome game that I couldn't resist. Have added it to the list as beat in advance (still have the final boss to fight) but will no doubt finish it very soon.

Dammit, I was nearly at level 11 on the squid jump mini-game! Anyway, more great Turf Wars. Hope Nintendo don't really leave us hanging until the 29th. I CAN'T WAIT THAT LONG!!!!

Few more entries for my gaming diary... Played through all of Mario Kart 8 again (plus the new DLC tracks) this time at 200cc! :awesome: Awesome stuff, I really hope we'll be seeing even more DLC added to MK8 in the near future. And started off the month with some new PS+ titles, Race the Sun and Hohokum. Had been looking forward to playing Hohokum ever since getting a PS4, and it didn't disappoint. Knew I was in for a good time as soon as I spotted this lovely little reference: Thought it was way too blatant to be coincidental, and I was right because it turns out Richard Hogg is a big Rhythm Tengoku fan. Anyway, great game. Perfect for chilling/zoning out.

My best result from this afternoon's Turf War session: Zero Splats! :awesome: That'll definitely be a rarity in the future. I only played 1 game with the Splat Charger, didn't do too well with it. Got a couple of cool moments out of it though, like taking someone out in mid-air: And a double splatting!:

That was amazing!! My God this game is pure gold. So many entertaining moments in the past hour, many of which had me pissing myself with laughter. Seriously, the comedy of being snuck up on and then splatted with the roller... it's genius. :awesome: Love the fact the gameplay is so multifaceted too, will keep this one interesting for quite a while I reckon. I'm not very good at using the GamePad screen while playing this though, the pace of the game makes looking down to check the map/super jump pretty tricky. Hopefully something that will get easier with more practice though. But yeah, this game is fantastic and I just cannot wait for May 29th!

So I see: Knew you wouldn't be able to resist. Almost time!

Not me. I still haven't managed to beat that final challenge on Triple Deluxe, even by using the Archer ability.

Yeah, I saw it on the Treehouse vid posted above. I'd be happy just to spend some time messing around with that TBH, taking in the sights and sounds of the world of Splatoon.

So you do get a little single player tutorial before playing against others. Why the hell didn't they just allow that section to always be playable outside of the 3 Turf War times? Anyway, sounds like the early event went pretty well. Really looking forward to checking this out myself later on today.

Yeah, played it a couple of times now. I also like it, very simple but addictive game. I see you've started playing Hohokum. Be interesting to hear what you think of that "game", I'm absolutely loving it. Really feels like art that has come to life, and the sound design is just phenomenal. :awesome:

Will definitely be there for the afternoon/evening ones, probably won't make the 4am one though... Like Judd the cat, I like my sleep.

This made for an amusing Clueless Gamer vid:

Not got the game yet, still not sure whether I'll get it before or after Splatoon. Have you tried playing it just looking at the TV? Any chance it could be something you could get used to over time?

Man, the eShop is running at snails pace right now. It's taking ages just to get the Splatoon testfire download going... Can't imagine this thing is going to run smoothly on Saturday at all, what with pretty much every single game-starved Wii U owner trying to connect and play simultaneously in the space of 1 hour.

G1: : peace: Quality theme. The class changes really made it interesting.

Ah, I get ya. I don't think even the "right" face help these to not look weird though: They're going to appear in my nightmares.

You crazy. *is actually contemplating doing the same*
