  1. General TV Thread

    Perhaps Del Boy rented him out for a small fee.
  2. I've just completed The Messenger, so am spiritually ready for this.
  3. Three Wishes

    Last year I decided to watch the 1992 version of Aladdin for the first time ever. I was a little bit too old to be its target demographic at the time, but I really fancied seeing what I'd missed. It got me thinking - what would you ask for if you really were granted three wishes? Assuming I'm not allowed any trickery such as wishing for infinite wishes, I'd still try to make my requests as efficient as possible and combine related things into one wish. For example, I think I'd ask for: 1) Perfect health forever. Immune system, joints, bones, hormones, any deterioration repaired - absolutely everything that could be classified as good health. 2) Perfect body. In line with my own DNA and design. I wouldn't want a different hair or eye colour, or a bigger bone frame than I'm meant to have, but I'd like to be as muscular as possible for the frame I've got. 3) Invincibility and immortality. To never be able to be defeated or killed. There are some other things I'd like such as super strength and a massive mansion, but with those core things I think you could achieve anything further you wanted. What would you wish for?
  4. TMNT: Shredder's Revenge (Switch, PS4, Xbox, PC)

    I love the colours on that second screenshot (or rather the first screenshot after the video), but I can't put my finger on what they've done with it.
  5. Switch eShop Thread

    I'm not sure where to put this, but I finally completed Sega Ages Wonder Boy: Monster Land last night (which is the arcade original). Not a great one, to be honest. The funny thing is, I accidentally looked at the Master System version on YouTube when I was trying to find a guide for the maze at the end of the game, and it actually looks like it might be better. Perhaps I will get the Anniversary Collection after all.
  6. General Retro Discussion

    I used to love Digitiser and GameCentral. Sam Ryder paid homage to Teletext in his Eurovision song. SamBoozle!
  7. Nintendo x Lego collab

    I once had to help get rid of thousands and thousands of bananas because my boss accidentally put a zero on the end of the order. You probably could pay for Lego with those.
  8. Oh wow, that looks closer than I gave it credit for. Great music and sound effects. I'd have absolutely loved this on local co-op when I was young.
  9. Nintendo x Lego collab

    Well, yes, but it's not so bad in the game. Imagine if you could pay for real Lego with beetles and fish!
  10. Nintendo x Lego collab

    Animal Crossing Lego could be absolute genius. Imagine having a house you could kit out with Sleek furniture, or turn it into a pirate ship theme with the Gullivarrr theming. Or a museum where you could recreate the dinosaur fossils. Everything about the game lends itself to model making and escapism.
  11. I just want the Switch ON.
  12. I definitely think it's true this time. Too many rumours about Switch 2 being released next year to dismiss.
  13. General Switch Discussion

    Fantastic! I dreamt of owning Double Dragon Advance, but was too lazy to import it. Great that it's a download too.
  14. Planned Purchases for the rest of 2023

    Still, swinging around New York and climbing up the buildings just works really well. I'm always up for trying a new Spider-Man game.
  15. Planned Purchases for the rest of 2023

    Is that similar to the GameCube/PS2 game of the same name? That was excellent, by far the best open world game I've ever played.
  16. Planned Purchases for the rest of 2023

    Yep, 1st December for USA and Europe! Cheers. It complicates matters for me that I only really want the two Mega Drive games - Wonder Boy in Monster World and Monster World IV. Combined with the Lizardcube version of Dragon's Trap, I think you have the best three there. On that basis I should probably just get the 2022 release (Wonder Boy Collection), but it's psychological, isn't it? You don't want to get the lesser version.
  17. Planned Purchases for the rest of 2023

    Dragon Quest Monsters, without a doubt - cannot wait for that one. Almost certainly Sea of Stars (the demo was good). And I hope MythForce turns out to be as good as it looks, because the art style is perfection. I'm also on the lookout to pick up Chained Echoes, Etrian Odyssey Origins Collection, Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters, Wonder Boy Anniversary Collection and possibly Double Dragon: Rise of the Dragons.
  18. Shantae Advance: Risky Revolution

    Oh wow, that actually looks really good. Surprising news, for sure, but an absolute must-buy.
  19. I can't really explain how attached I am to Double Dragon. Whether this is very much like Double Dragon... we'll see!
  20. The main things I'd like: No drift. Allow wired connections without Bluetooth. If I have an arcade stick connected to the Switch by a wire, which is connected to the TV by a wire, why does Bluetooth have to be enabled? Keep the hybrid functionality. Obviously it's going to be more powerful, which is great, but I still want it to be useable as a handheld. Backwards compatibility. I must have bought Final Fight five times now! I don't want to buy it again.
  21. I Was Saying Boo-ris!

    When I see stories about Johnson plotting with others to make a new party, I think "Good, split the vote". It's pretty disgusting, really, the damage they have done to this country and they're squabbling about the "Honours" list. Honour! I am not a vengeful person, but I don't think we can move on until the right people are punished. And we haven't forgotten about the WhatsApp messages either.
  22. I Was Saying Boo-ris!

    Good riddance to the worst prime minister the UK's ever had. Hopefully one day we'll see him rotting in prison. In the meantime, at least we don't have to listen to any more of his nonsense. Alexander "Boris" Johnson - liar, criminal, narcissist. History will view him as the country's biggest-ever traitor.
  23. I've only played Joker 1 & 2 but they're really good games. I don't think anything took me longer to learn than the synthesis of the first one, but it's great when you get to grips with it, Definitely interested in this one.
  24. You have a guild, which can have as many members as you want, from several available classes - Landsknecht, Alchemist, Medic etc. You pick five of these and go through a labyrinth which is effectively on a sheet of squared paper. There's story, which gets revealed to you along the way, but a lot of it is about interpretation. As for more than one game, well, it depends how much you like it. Personally, I got a bit tired of it by the 6th one (Nexus), but it's fundamentally a good series.
  25. I won't get it at launch, but it does look good. Remasters are better than remakes, aren't they? I hope to get it when it's half price - in the meantime I'm happy to offer any advice.
