Ah, missed opportunity to delegate some labor. "You want packaging?" You can create it yourself!"

I didn't include Puyo Puyo Tetris myself because it wasn't popular enough last time, and don't have the game. I'll add it regardless. Runbow and Sushi look like good suggestions, I'll add them to the list as well. Should I add your name to any of those games @Dcubed?

I personally wanted to keep it Switch only yeah, but feel free to suggest something, and see how many people are interested. I'm not joining anything on Playstation though, as I don't have any Playstations, and my old computer occasionally crashes on Titanfall 2, which is the only recent multiplayer game I've got on PC. I also think it may be a bit of a hassle to switch consoles every hour or so, and it may fragment the player base too much..

Schedule: All day long: Zen FX3 pinball - Sorcerair's lair tournament 20:00 - 20:50 Mario Kart - General league format: 3 GP's 21:00 - 21:50 Rocket League - 3 vs 3 22:00 - 22:50 Mario Tennis - doubles? 23:00 - 00:00 Splatoon 2 - x vs x 00:00 - ? Splatoon 2 - Splatfest late night sessions Original post: Alright, maybe two months in advance is the other extreme, but whatever. It's too early to discuss timeslots, for now I just want to discuss the date and the games (and whatever comes to mind). Date Possible dates: Saturday 23-06-2018 Sunday 24-06-2018 ? I suggest 23-06-2018. It's a Saturday, in the middle of Summer, so I hope more people will be free and available for this day. It's also a day after the release of Mario Tennis Aces, adding a big new multiplayer game to the list (and I suspect a popular one). Glen-i suggested the possibility of a two day event. Games I hope to see more games this time around, though there doesn't seem to be a lot of new candidates. I think we can safely say Mario Kart, Splatoon and Rocket League will be the returning staples of the event. Like I said, I suspect Mario Tennis to be a popular newcomer. Personally, I'd also like to see Streetfighter 30th anniversary collection in the mix, though it depends a bit on the details of the online mode. A tournament mode would be great. Still hoping for some Doom and Arms action. Feel free to suggest anything else. Oh and mention any specific modes you want. Just like last time, I'll just list the games, and the people wanting to play them to gauge their popularity. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe 3x 150cc GP, player's choice everything (i.e. Mario Kart League format) Sméagol Glen-i Ike Splatoon 2 rotating team battle modes Sméagol Glen-i Ike Splatoon 2 Salmon run, depending on availablity Sméagol Rocket League Standard 3 vs 3 Glen-i Sméagol Mario Tennis Aces ? Sméagol Glen-i (tentatively) Streetfighter 30th anniversary collection Streetfighter 3 Third Strike (seems to be lobbies of 4) Sméagol Arms Party mode Sméagol Doom Team multiplayer Sméagol Glen-i BlazBlue Crosstag Battle ? Sméagol (if I can get the game in time) Ike Runbow ? Sushi Striker ? Puyo Puyo Tetris ? Glen-i Zen Pinball FX3 24 hour classic tournament on Sorcerer's Lair No need to specifically sign up for this. Again, suggest any games and/or modes you feel are missing.

Since I'm "playing" docked, I used the controller. It's not the most intuitive control system (from the little I've played s far, I can think of some interface and control improvements), but it gets the job done. You can do sliders and knobs with the sticks. I also wish it had a MP3 export function (if I recall correctly, there's no license needed for that anymore), but I'll do it the old-fashioned way.

Interesting, I've wanted an interactive film experience in the cinema. http://www.ctrlmovie.com/ http://www.slashfilm.com/ctrlmovie/

One complaint about this was that it was organized only a few days in advance. I was thinking of doing a Summer version, and was wondering if there was any interest in that. Well in advance this time, as I imagined to organize it around the Summer Solstice, which is on June the 21st, a Thursday. But I was thinking to do it the Friday or Saturday after, not only because of practical reasons, but also because Mario Tennis releases on the 22nd, which would add a major online multiplayer game to the roster. Because for the most part the roster looks to be the same, the only other major addition I'm aware of is the Streetfighter compilation. Any interest? Yes? No? If yes, I'll make a seperate thread, and we can talk games, dates, times and other details.

Yeah I'm mighty tempted to just go to the store tomorrow and grab the variety pack. But I just bought the Korg app for 40 euros (which I'll get into once I've finished this post), and with so many games this week and May (even without Dark Souls). Gah. I also wonder if things like Smileboom and Phuze will make this obsolete for my purposes. They probably will. Still though, could be fun in the meantime. I've also heard rumblings of people wanting to combine this with Lego (Mindstorm). Like if it wasn't already expensive enough! The possibilities though!

For a second I thought you bought Payday.

Well that certainly was a massacre!

I am familiar with this approach. Anyway! I'm off.

Add me to the angry mob.

New trailer:

As far as I can see, they removed the Swastikas and the mustache. And changed the dialogue a little. Hitler is never referenced as Führer. Anyway, I don't care for even the slightests form of censorship, so this is something they need to address if it's true.

There's currently a concern that all the European releases are censored. I'm not buying censored games. They don't need to be censored over here.

3.0 update tomorrow: https://nintendoeverything.com/official-announcement-for-splatoon-2-version-3-0-0/ 2 new songs, lots of new gear, and the return of Callie. We should get together again soon, guys. Although I may have other plans for the usual Thursday slot.

The game will be updated to 1.4 on the 27th I believe. https://nintendoeverything.com/xenoblade-chronicles-2-version-1-4-0-launching-this-week-with-new-rare-blades/ It will incliude 2 new blades, one available for people who purchased the season pass (A new Hana who can also be used by other characters), and Telos from Xenosaga who is available to everyone, after finishing the game once.

Still getting updated! A new character is up for download:

I mention Spider-man because it's recent, and it's fun. And fully introduces Spider-man. Again, I suspect, it being fun may be more important to Drahkon than having an infinity stone, and while I myself like Dr. Strange, I think Spider-man is more enjoyable. So is Thor: Ragnarok. He won't have time to see all of story-related ones, he won't have time to see every character introductions and developments, and he won't have time to see all the "fun" ones, if he wants to see Infinity war in a timely fashion. So I limited the list at one a day with the big pay-off on Saturday. Like I said, if he really wants to know, but doesn't want to / can't see the films, he can read up on wikis.

Except I condensed it even further to just the 4 films. I'm only mentioning the other ones in case Drahkon wants more, but I suspect those 4 will be enough for him (for the moment). He can see one film a day, and be ready for Infinity War in the weekend. Edit: That list doesn't look anything like mine.

While I myself prefer to see all the films, including the bad ones, I suspect this is more of a recommendation in line with what @drahkon wants: Today go see: Captain America: Civil war Tomorrow: Spider-man: homecoming Thursday: Thor: Ragnarok Friday: Black Panther (in Cinema if still playing near you) Saturday: The Avengers: infinity war In other words, a few of the more recent, and most enjoyable ones. It will show you most (new) characters, and a little bit of story exposition. I think that'll be enough. You can read up on the rest on Wikis. You will miss on the introduction of Dr. Strange and Ant-man (though they have some screentime in the films mentioned). It's not clear what Ant-man's involvement will be in Infinity Wars, but Dr. Strange will play a big role alongside the other Avengers, and his film also introduces an Infinity Stone. This also leaves out The Guardians of the galaxy. If you can handle more and decide you want more context: I'd also watch Captain America: the winter soldier (because it's good and introduces Bucky), Guardians of the Galaxy (because it introduces those characters and because it's fun), Avengers: age of Ultron (for the ongoing story and the introduction of Vision and Scarlet Witch, and Hawkeye's fun oneliner), and Dr. Strange (for his introduction and the infinity stone, and one of the more original endings to a Marvel film). Like I said, I don't know what Ant-man's involvement will be (though I fully expect him to be in the film in some capacity), but I suspect you won't miss much if you skip his first film (though it does have a fun tie-in with Iron man). His second film will be out soon enough, you can delay that one until then.

A little over 14 hours! I can easily fill that with sleep! "My eyes are up here Mr. Lee." That wouldn't be my recommendation. I can't tell which ones would be "essential" to view before Infinity War, but the main draw of all the Avenger films and Civil War was to see all the super heroes you've come to love in their own films before it, come together and fight together. All the Marvel films build up to that moment, even if they stand alone and have nothing to do with any Infinity stones. I can't imagine watching Infinity War without having seen any of the other Marvel films. I missed Thor and Captain America in the cinema simply because they didn't interest me much initially, and I'm still not a fan of their first films, but I was glad I did see them eventually before I saw the Avengers. I may not like the films overall, but I loved Chris Evans and Chris Hemsworth as Captain America and Thor, so they still funcion as the build-up for Avengers. It will be the same for Infinity War.

I wasn't a fan of Lost in space. There was stuff I enjoyed, but there was also stuff I didn't enjoy. And the way it ended it looks like season 2 will give me more of the stuff I didn't enjoy. I like most of the characters, especially Penny. I mean, the family is a bit typical, but I like them for the most part. I also liked some of the side characters from the other Jupiters, and just the fact they were there at all for some interaction. I absolutely can't stand Dr. Smith however, with her grumpy face and whiny voice. The robot(s) is (/are) stupid. Some of the problems they encounter are inane. Like fuel eating eels (which appear out of nowhere). And then that ending. I mean, I guess it's more in line what actual fans would expect of it, but it's not for me.
