    But I'm also practically on the doorstep of my local depot so uh yeah seems like a real small chance :blank:

    Me too, but even then they won't let you try to pick up until next day.

    Luckily though mine has been delivered to my pick up, and I've picked it up naow.

    Time to install motherfuckers.

    My retort in your own words:

    That's not the correct action you fool. You've got to do a circular motion like Doctor Strange.

    Amazon have it out for delivery, I do hope it will arrive in time for finishing work. I've got it sent to the local One Stop because the post people have been increasingly lazy in how they hide their packages when we're not in. I blame the missus for ordering so much tat from Temu.

  3. Loved that game, still have my copy where I evolved into an Anubis dude. One niggle was one level where there was a hidden secret I could see and couldn't get to. My mate and I plowed through that level so many times and couldn't reach it.

    One day I tried solo and magically one piece of a bridge suddenly fell to my attack. We hit every bit of that bridge before as the secret was right under it

    After several failed interviews (fuck the STAR method), I've finally managed to get an offer back at NUH and I can leave the firm I'm at now. 

    Currently there's barely any work to do where I am, my colleague who works alongside me consistently falls asleep and is writing some sort of Norse fanfic/book and doesn't know that I know, and there's only so many stalkers and sex offenders I can deal with before I know I'll snap. Just waiting on the confirmed start date and I'll hand in my notice.

    That start date is not coming now, as they've withdrawn the job offer and at this moment won't tell me why.

  5. Got the notifications from the Amazon also. Fingers crossed for an early pickup, but not fussed if not.

    Got the fourth bot yesterday. Again riddle deez nuts. I almost cancelled my pre order when it brought to my attention I could make Astro floss.

    It's as bad as you still saying "Ninty". Now who's stuck in the 90's? Bet you call Miyamoto Shigsy/Shiggy as well. :D

     

    I do initially think "Shigsy!" When he appears on t'screens.

    "The" Zelda?
    Are you 60 or something? Man, I just got flashbacks to some old fogie saying that to me in the 90's.

    Difference is that The Zelda was dated even back then!

    Everyone loves it when you put "the" in front of of things, I'm sure you remember back in t'day when we all used the internets and poking people on the Facebooks.

    Just got the final extra trophy for Astro's Playroom and then I see this :D

    GIMME NOW!

    Edit:

     

    Arg those clapping sessions are so cringeworthy, not even a child is treated so condescendingly for completing a level...

     

    I made the investment today, not even bothering with the Zelda at the moment. This is where the action is. Physical copy of course, because fuck digital if I can help it.

    I'll get that 4th character later, I'm sure it'll be after a great "riddle"

    Easily my most hated Tales game that I have played. Game just dragged on for ages and a lot of the bosses were damage sponges.

    Symphonia 2 takes the worst title crown for me. I'm not sure what the logic is for the Arise battles, hit for ages then do a special attack, which either drags out the menial battles against weak stuff because of the cutscenes, or chips a little from bosses, which was all hardish to see with all the shiny effects they smacked on too.

    So… it’s a remaster of a remaster then?

    Graces is alright, but it really is basically just a glorified arena combat game, because there’s precious little noteworthy gameplay outside of its (admittedly excellent) battle system.  As an RPG, it’s incredibly threadbare; with glorified corridors for dungeons.

    I think the story is better than more recent ones, built upon the greatness Symphonia gave us, and as you said, battle system is awesome. If it's glorified corridors you're after though, check out Tales of Arise, I swear some of the single corridors are a longer trek than some of the areas they've got instead of a traditional overworld, and half as uninspiring.

    My glasses are so rosey I can't even remember if Graces has an overworld map.

  10. Just gone through the demo. It's turned me off the game to be honest, the movement is a lil sluggish, the combat is boring and there was little in the way of puzzle/exploration. The longer girder level had 1-2 offshoots off the main path, and I died many times thinking I could jump to another roof before invisible walls blocked me.

    The robot level was sluggish and the shooting level was a poor man's Lylat Wars. I was so looking forward to this, but glad I know now before investing.

    This job though is horrendous. I'm trying to get back into NHS.

    Riddle my ass... I had to look online as to how to work this out...

    Had to use the powah of the internet to figure out the other 2 bots. They really do not know the meaning of the word riddle.

    Neon Genesis Evangelion
    I know nothing about the anime of Neon Genesis Evangelion, but from this game I can figure out the basic premise: giant creatures are attacking cities, and humans have created giant robots in response. Pilots get psychically linked to the machines, which is a huge strain.

    I bloody wish that was what the anime was about.

  14. Naturally I would have to encourage some portion of Warhammer, or any tabletop gaming which you can get creative with the models/scenery.

    I keep seeing the Stardew Valley cross stitch on fangamer which I keep considering, but may find a cheap random one first to see if I can get to grips with the concept first.

    Book nooks, also a nice lil craft project, there are groups on Facebook where people make their own dioramas too

    Dolphins are also river creatures :heh:

    Honestly, I figure that they only called them "Sea" Zoras because there are, in fact, a few games where they live in the sea (Majora's Mask & Oracle of Ages, off the top of my head). The more monstrous Zora have only ever been featured in rivers.

    Would've been much simpler to just say "Lean Zora" and "Green Zora" :p

    Ah, good catch. I remembered the Zora village in Oracle of Ages (one of the few times where they indeed live in the sea), but I didn't recall the river Zora being an enemy in that game. I just checked, and yeah, they're obviously there.

    I also just found out that OoA was the first game to coin the term "River Zora". The quote in question:

    "Don't think us noble sea Zoras the same as those savage, vulgar river Zoras!"

    It seems they've had this conflict in their pocket since 2001. Deeper cut than I thought.

    Maybe that fence in front of Lord Jabu Jabu in Ocarina of Time lead to the ocean, and they were just slumming it next to Lake Hylia for flava

    or (even dumber) saying that it reuses the map from ALTTP.  

    You make it sound as if it hasn't been done - It was a sound theory at the time with the knowledge we had! Suck ma balls buddy.

    The addition of the horse gives the impression the world will be bigger than anticipated, but that disappearing into the void thing at the end gives the impression of either a mirror world... or worse, The Depths.
