Jaden Smith looks different to how I remembered him.

It's probably a homage to one of his greatest free kicks

Looks expensive. Why does this one need three screens?

Is anyone watching this? I haven't seen any chat or anything online about it at all, which is a shame, because so far (i'm up to Ep5) it's really good! Ep5 (St Patricks Day one) in particular is just fantastic.

Nah, they're going to get Jackson (and Serkis) back together again to film the live action Donkey Kong Country film instead. Serkis will be every character.

At some point I think I should watch it all again in one go. I think my watching suffered from the long gaps between seasons, and me forgetting who was who. I don't know when i'll find the time though.

Presumably those 275million views weren't all for 5 hours?

It doesn't even look anything like him. Why is he so W I D E?

Probably because they've done a bit of research and determined that it's not cost effective. With these things, it's always down to cost. Or licensing issues. Or the cost of licensing.

I always found it strange that they didn't do any significant DLC for this game. They could have kept providing updates for years, and many people would probably have paid money for it, but for some reason Nintendo just don't want to go down that route.

I actually respect that they made the god Pokémon all powerful. It would be a bit stupid if they created a Pokémon that created the universe, but could be beaten by a trained caterpillar.

I did wonder what all those plates were for in the Arceus game. I never used them because I never caught Arceus though.

I am still plugging away at BOTW2 when I can. Got to the Goron dungeon, and not enjoying it much. The combination of darkness + lava mist stuff that permanently locks your hearts up makes it frustrating.

And only if there is a parent or guardian in that room with you.

I know this is a basic thing, but have you checked the charging port isn't full of spooge? My phone port fills up with crap to the point where it stops charging. 10 minutes with a sewing needle to scoop the lint out the port and it's good as new. Maybe the same thing has happened there?

Of course! Having it as one word threw me.

Ok so i'm pretty sure i've worked out f**k, a**h**e, s**t, and d**n, what what the h**l is h**sy**t supposed to be?

I actually had no issues with the Pokémon animations in Arceus. I understand that there are hundreds of them, and they all have funky anatomy that can be hard to design movements for. It's the human animations that were appalling. Just the same awkward stuff ones over and over. And the number of times they fade to black instead of showing a character doing something is just lazy. And these are for human figures, so they could use motion capture! I admit that pancake man did seem better animated, so perhaps they have hired one guy who can do them, and he was busy on the day they did the human animations in Arceus.

I do think it's incredible that all this stuff is in the games, and they manage to keep a handle on it, and manage to keep enough Pokémon competitive and not game-breaking. I can only assume that's what the entirety of Game Freak do all day, because it sure as shit isn't making character animations.

This is an interesting idea - do you rent the games too? Or would i need to buy games for a console I don't own? I'm not sure it would save me money in the long run though - at the rate I finish games, i'd have spent the equivalent of a full PS5 by the time i complete SM2!

GoW co-op was great. We played through all the main games in co-op mode, and they were fantastic (once you got used to controlling people the size and manoeuvrability of tanks). I never played the multiplayer though.

Is this not set in the future? I thought that's what the whole bit at the beginning was about - the growth of technology and the holograms etc.

Looks like pure shit. Honestly the relationship between Pokemon fans and Pokemon games is like that of an abusive husband and his wife. Everyone keeps telling her that he's bad news, and she should leave him, but she reckons he can change, and this time it'll be different. But he ain't going to change, not if she keeps coming back even when he refuses to change his behaviour.

Well i guess I can update my pledge, unless they fix the PC version or I somehow end up buying a PS5, i consider Spider-man 2 done and dusted. I have since started playing Zelda BOTW2 on the Switch. As I mentioned before, i've had this game for a while, but never opened it. My opinions on the first game were mixed, and they remain mixed on this one so far. I'm enjoying exploring the world quite a bit - there always seems to be something new and exciting just over the horizon that you want to head to. I am surprised at how well the Ultra-hand gimmick works. Given that I work with CAD software for work, i thought that building structures and machines etc in a Zelda game would be far too fiddley and difficult, but it's actually quite intuitive to join parts together and build something with it. That said, i find that the game overall is a bit too fiddly. The whole combat system is a bit frustrating. Pulling up swords/bows/shields and trying to join items onto your arrows/throw items at the same time as locking onto enemies and jump away is really fiddly. It seems like they tried to make the combat system as varied as possible, but at the expense of ease of control. It also (like all other Zelda games) seems to punish you for using anything other than a sword. Why does throwing a bomb at someone do so little damage compared to hitting them with a rock on the end of a stick? Why does hitting them in the face with an arrow do nothing? Anyway, i've fallen to the ground floor part of the world, and have opened up some of the region. Currently going into the Rito part and about to go into the blizzard cloud with the bird dude.
