If they really wanted to move away from a 'bulky headset' then why not just allow people to use earphones on the switch (as they do) and put a mic on the switch? If they really wanted to protect children then why make them need a phone to chat? A lot worse can be done with a phone than a console. I don't see any excuse for this.

That might be the attitude to have if your system had an OS-level voice chat solution. Otherwise, no.

It's quite bad to launch the game alongside such a basic app though.

This sounds like a shambles.

That sounds about five times as exciting as what normally happens in any given scene in the show. And about 100 times as exciting as Sam continuously cleaning out excrement. Not that it has to be a whole episode mind. Just not starting at the end would be cool. Given the history of the Freys in the show, you can hardly blame people for not wanting that part to be so quick.

It makes you wonder why they have cut the number of episodes short but then gloss over things like this. I would have liked to have seen how she managed to put together a plot like that. If anything, just to make it seem less rushed.

Yeah not sure what on Earth the Ed Sheeran cameo was about. Who approved that? It's just jarring to see him cast in a similar role to what he normally does, cracking a joke about it being a new song. To me that took me out of Westeros and made me think the producers were having a joke with the audience. I thought the Arya bit at the beginning was a little weird (given the slow pace of the shown normally), given how much planning must have gone into something like that. Seemed a bit...over too quickly? Other than that I really enjoyed the episode.

It's basically not good - if it does come to Switch it'll be way later. People won't really care about it by the time it comes - similar to something like Mass Effect 3 on the Wii U. It'll probably be more expensive too when it does release, if it ever does, as the other versions will have reduced in price by then.

AC: Brotherhood is the one set in Rome. Also the best game.

That's quite a good time for a game to come I think. Should be free enough then.

Not sure but yeah, I'm way more excited about that than anything in his list. [emoji14]

I think for the sake of moving forward and planning we should lockdown the date of the 19th, should make things easier!

Cool! Yeah I'd be up for the escape room.

Tbh, with the demand of the Switch I can understand why they've been caught short. Given the Wii U situation I can appreciate why they were hesitant to commit to a large number of units. When they knew there was demand, I can't see why they wouldn't be pumping these out at full speed, as it's just money left on the table otherwise.

I always question the hygiene of the peripherals being sold there. For some reason their shops have a strange odour.

But then you'd have to play as that douchey bird guy.

We've played right into their hands, moving to this forum.

Oh does that hide them for people other than me?

This is why party chat is needed at the OS level.

Does this mean that if you click your trophies it will take a second to sync them for a particular game? Or will it automatically sync trophies within 1 second for any that are earned from now? If it's the latter then it will seem instant, since it takes at least a second to go to the section where you view your trophies anyway.

I've been to an escape room a few years ago, was a fun experience.

There's Meltdown which seems pretty close to where Zell lives (and much closer to the heart of London). Anyone been?

Haha, cheers! Yeah, a week and a half ago. Switch is such an impressive machine. The best they've done since the gamecube for sure.

I have been playing Binding of Isaac Afterbirth+ and Mario Kart Switch on holiday with my wife (sounds weird to say this, having just got married!). Pretty much a game changer for me, being able to play anywhere so easily. I mostly have played my PS4 at home but the Switch has got some serious potential as an out-of-house machine. Also...everyone should get Binding of Isaac. The US physical version is being sold at base.com for less than £30. Such a great game. Looking forward to finally tucking into Stardew Valley when it launches on Switch.

There is also Meltdown, which is apparently 20 min walk from Zell's house! link. I totally get what you are saying though. Other than drinking, I'll have a think about what we could do during the early day.
