I don't even remember heading about Hundred Heroes, but I did like the look of the Rising trailer, which appears more Metroidvania than Hundred Heroes which looks more RPG-y. I am intrigued about the stuff passing over to the other game, but then I'm worried about how much that'll cost, even with Rising being a bargain.

I finished Demon Slayer, well, up until the point released on Netflix. I thought there were more seasons than that - i'm left wanting more!
There was something so compelling about it, i'm not sure what it was.
Maybe they have more on the Crunchyroll app, you may have a few ads to slog through though.

What's the hurry, MURRAY? I didn't expect Origins to be on the docket this soon. Looks like I'll be playing catch-up. Don't know what the deal is with the battle system in it but I'd expect it to be refined in some way after the first. Glad to hear there's been a few battles inside the first 30 mins.
Refined my anus, it lets you know who is going next, and you can discard from your hand mid battle, but the moment where you can actually select cards remains a mystery.
The missus didn't bother buying Peach Showtime, and I completed Jedi Fallen Order, so I decided to fire it up 😎

I started Baten Kaitos Origins yesterday. About 30ish mins in and had a few battles and I'm the battle system is weird... There hasn't been any tutorial on it and the help menu is bollocks. There doesn't seem to be a highlighted specific window to pick cards, so I'm not sure if I'm picking attacks to attack or whatever. I picked a leather vest for defence during an enemy attack, then used it during my attack.

I got the demo for The Pedestrian and blasted through it. I'm not sure what drug the person who wrote this was on
"Enjoy this textless journey, where all ideas are shared in icons and your powers of observation will be put to the test. You play by rearranging and reconnecting public signs in order to explore and advance through each engaging environment."
There certainly is no text, but there isn't really any journey either. It's a simple puzzler (from what was on offer) where you connect entry points between sections, which was quite linear and little variety for experimentation. The "environments" are engaging in the sense that they are graphically very nice to look at compares to the black and white stuff you have to focus on for the puzzling, but have zero impact on the game. Going between "levels" requires you to hold whichever direction you were running to keep the game going, otherwise you're stuck looking at a nice pipe, you can even make the quasi cut scene go in reverse and run back the way you came, but there's no need to and something that would just flow better if you didn't have to hold the stick and it did it via cut scene.
It was an ok experience. A couple of levels had me thinking, but not an interest to invest. So I was out

Finished playing Fallen Order last night. Story was good but I had to take it down to easy mode because the combat is an absolute mess. Blocking/parrying seems to work only when it wants to, which is rarely never, as opposed to your opponent who seems to have a guard meter going all the time, and this is when they're gangbanging you with attacks with multiple opponents. That aside the metroidvania-esque exploration I quite enjoyed, although some fast travel points in the worlds.
When it gets a bit cheaper I'll delve into Jedi Survivor

Here I was thinking Bomberman Generation on the Cube was the first of that ilk. Which I do recommend. I'd love to fire mine back up.

Started watching Death and Other Details, halfway through at the moment. It's a bit like Only Murders in The Building, this time on a boat. With the link between the 2 main characters it'll be interesting to see if they could carry this onto later seasons.
But you're guaranteed to see some tits at least once an episode, which is always a plus.
Watched the final last night. The latter half of the season does ramp up the mystery at the detriment to the nipple count, but on the whole a recommended watch

James Acaster was great, his scream proved he had the acting chops and I was greatly impressed
Kumail on the other hand plays the same role he does in every film.

If you want a dose of UK action, Stephen Fry recently hosted it here. Not sure if it's still on the screens though, it was an early afternoon deal, not good enough for prime time.
-
I can confirm that the new Ghoustbusters and its associated bustin' did make me feel good. If you liked Afterlife you should enjoy this.
Yet they seem to have deleted the scene where someone bursts onto the scene and beats the shit out of Patton Oswald, which seems to get cut out of everything he's in.
SpoilerThey seem to have confused this with destiny

Yeah, easy pass for me. Developers have yet to get the most out on the standard model never mind an upgraded version.
I generally don't bother with such mid generation upgrades anyway. I got a PS4 Pro due to my normal one eventually sounding like a jet engine and I never upgraded my Switch to OLED either.
Same here, the only exception is going for the 3DS XL. But I wouldn't bother shelling out for the home console "pro" versions. The Switch is on the TV anyways, I've not had the need to pay for extra screen quality etc.

You mean Robotron
32X, PlayStation ain’t got no 64bits! Those extra 32 bits make it a totes different game you fool!
Must've been. I always did wonder why I remember it being called that when it wasn't on the N64...

I had Robotron 64 on the Playstation, if you stand in a corner and fire diagonally outwards, you'll be near untouchable.

Watched The Marvels last night, it wasn't that bad. I've not seen the Ms Marvel series, so watching her froth at the gash at seeing Captain Marvel was most humourous. Brie wasn't that bad either, don't think she deserves the flack she got here. Rambeau Jnr was the worst, just being a crybaby bitch throughout about how Carol flew off and didn't come back quick enough for her satisfaction.
Villain was boring, turned into female Ronan but somehow able to hold her own against these three broads, one of which could've fucked over Thanos several times over, but give a girl a bracelet and they're nigh unstoppable.
Main highlight was Goose and all the lil kitties.

Only place where you can use all three main console controllers. Seems the most appropriate place to me.
You sit down and you put your hands on that keyboard and mouse and you say "Thank you!"

Just played through the demo and quite enjoyed it. I'm concerned though about how little platforming the game will offer. The bakery level (Peach's outfit is adorable) was essentially just a mini game collection. Still, it looks like it will offer a charming experience, if nothing else. Shame the performance is a bit ropey at times, which is pretty baffling considering the game isn't exactly pushing the Switch to its limits.
I feel that, after the swordsman level I was wondering what kind of "attack" Peach would have this time, but instead it was just holding down a button and letting go. Worries me for some of the other costumes they aren't showing much of.
The jumping felt a bit weird against the boss, maybe it was just the perspective/angle, but when jumping up as in away from the camera, I didn't seem to cover as much ground as I did for the 2D sections.

Isn't that one of the risks of Kickstarter though, that you might not get anything for your investment? I don't know what the terms are like when you back something though.
It is one of the risks yes, but this was handled in a shitty way. After the pledge they started adding stuff that wasn't mentioned initially, one of the things involving pets which then became its own game to go with it. I think there was another mode they decided to make too. Because of all this they decided to redo the rules for the game we were actually backing from scratch. We weren't interested in all this random shit they were tacking on, you've got our money, just give us what we paid for. Then updates started having lore that started with lines with "lots of people have been asking us about the ice tribe of frozen peak...", when literally no one has been asking for this, the question was "where's my shit?". They really hung their hat on the bloke having heart problems, as if it were a one man project, which I don't think is fair to the guy at all.
This was a slow torture which sadly had only one outcome, but I kept holding out hope. But they wonder why things got "toxic" to them online.

That's £300 I'm not getting back.
"An ICV2 report from March 2018 quoted Ninja Division co-owner and creative director John Cadice as saying the company would no longer fund large projects on Kickstarter, citing “toxicity” from users on the platform."
No shit, you dragged your heels and swindled a shitload of people

Bought Green Wing on Apple TV yesterday as it's been years since I last watched it. I remember this show being funny but I guess I'd forgotten just how funny. Holds up so well.
Isn't it still available on demand 4?

Just got Jedi Fallen Order for £5.50 on ze store. Not bad I thought
