  1. Only other thing I can think of is she's used to people bowing down to her authoritah so she's taken a pick against him for not scooting aside on the platform. We've seen he's more than willing to having a chat with her but she looks closed off to even entertaining the idea. You'd think the others would remind her they got the train before traitors were assigned. Obviously not easy for them to see what we see, but Ash has looked nothing but guilty. Haha. So far, the fourth traitor looks like the only one with a bit of game about him. Pride and overconfidence should be the downfall of the other three provided the others can suss it out.
  2. I'd say it looks like she's brought some preconceptions to the table with her, yeah. Anthony doesn't seem like a bad spud at all. Hope they stop being so naive and catch on to the big ginge that's positioned himself as head of the group and gang leader of the traitors.
  3. Watched the first three. We are so back.
  4. https://www.nintendo.co.uk/Games/Nintendo-Switch-download-software/EGGCONSOLE-XANADU-PC-8801-PC-8801mkIISR-2498066.html Absolutely blown away.
  5. Read it the other year and found it to be no great shakes, unfortunately. Me ma thought the same which was a surprise because I reckoned it'd be more her cup of tea. Since then, Osman's knocked out three more of these and counting so by all means, have at it and let me know if the series is worth following. Seems like they're always going for a few quid in The Works or Tesco so that they haven't held their supposed worth tells its own story—empty calories or rather: pointless.
  6. If 0 is amazing, Koholint's home to higher scoring nices. Better than a mimic!
  7. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2023/dec/30/arbroath-back-up-goalkeeper-ali-adams-substitute-striker-scores-screamer-raith Saw this doing the rounds. Not bad when your no.2 keeper has this sort of finish in his locker!
  8. Never heard of it but it looks and sounds pretty good.
  9. Stacked like those characters "with large chests/ exaggerated proportions".
  10. Here's the 2023 Switch year in review. Safe to say nothing else will be added at this point. Demos and game trials excluded. Sports Story : carried over from 2022. Much like the developers, I haven't finished it either. Virtua Racing Crisis Core - FF VII - Reunion : carried over from 2022, loved it. DQ Treasures : carried over from 2022, loved it. Shiren The Wanderer: The Tower of Fortune and the Dice of Fate : if I had to select my "desert island Switch games", this would make the cut. Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope : excellent. Need to get back to it. Immortals Fenyx Rising : loving DQ Treasures gave me the confidence to give this a go and it's no secret I loved it too. Had a great few weeks with it around April time. OutRun The Suicide of Rachel Foster Pokémon UNITE : must have been back on this for a Mew or Mewtwo that would have been too much effort to claim for free. Monster Hunter Rise : probably go back on soon to do the Sonic stuff before it's gone. TMNT: The Cowabunga Collection : great package. NEO: TWEWY : was back on for a dabble. Probably for a breather from turnbased. Persona 3 Portable: pleasure to finally have, a relief to finish. Wish it was a lot shorter. Can't say if I'll get to P4G or go back to P5R in 2024. Got all these day one. Collection of SaGa FF Legend : finally went back for FF Legend 2. Maybe do 3 in 2024. World of FF Maxima : overall, had a great time with this. It was like FF greatest hits. Animal Crossing: New Horizons : tried to go back. Think I'm done. Disney Speedstorm : seemed all right! Castlevania Advance Collection : played Harmony of Dissonance in October. Ghostbusters: The Video Game Remastered : top fun to be part of the GB team. ToeJam & Earl: Back in the Groove : great update of a classic. Theatrhythm Final Bar Line : unbelievable value. Want Angeal, Tseng and Cissnei to be added. Baten Kaitos I & II HD Remaster : immediately played Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean. Looking forward to playing Origins in 2024. Super Mario Maker 2 : still one of the best on Switch. Clockwork Aquario : lovely little game. Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc Anniversary Collection : bunch of unlikeable characters made for an immensely likeable game. Go figure. Portal : is a girl?? Is a puzzle game??!! I'd osmosised the cake is a lie, at least. Super Mario Bros. Wonder Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Tetris 99 Burnout Paradise Remastered : more open-worldery! Weird for a racing game. Doom : still getting updates. F-Zero 99 : outta nowhere! Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince : ongoing. Among Us Fortnite The various NSO apps : dipped into quite a few games. At least remember fully playing Majora's Mask, Link to the Past, Link's Awakening and got up to the Fire Temple in Ocarina of Time before Mario Wonder came out. So I pretty much replayed all the best Zeldas this year. Not too bad going! Played a good whack of Wario Land 3 as well. Splatoon 3 : took in and did the single player earlier in the year. I played this pretty much daily to keep up to date with the seasonal catalogues until September which made it an entire year from release. It's great fun but enough's enough. Happy to draw a line under it and move on. GotY: Immortals Fenyx Rising. Even having played the demo, I wasn't sure to what degree this was going to work out. After I got used to the controls and cautiously started figuring out what the game wanted from me, we got on like an absolute house on fire. By the time I'd wrapped it up (not 100%), I was left with that empty feeling you get when you've come out the other side of a top gaming experience that you know your next game won't measure up to. Fantastic. Glaring omission: Pikmin 4. I know. I said in the Pikmin 3 thread I'd have to remember to get on the next one day one. And I didn't forget... I think the timing of release just wasn't ideal plus I would have still been grinding Splatoon 3. Haven't even so much as tried the demo! Though I did enjoy having a go on it at one of those Nintendo events. Mustn't leave it on the backburner forever. Had intended to slot in Lego City Undercover to keep the open-worlding going after Immortals but that window closed. Hoping to get it off the shelf in 2024! ------------- 3DS - this is off memory because my activity log has been a mess for years from repeatedly letting the battery drain and the internal clock resetting. Some games I fired up just because there always seems to be a file going or they're infinitely replayable: chrono trigger ds theatrhythm outrun etrian odyssey of some variety earthbound : still refuses to let me click with it mario land mario bros 2 dq 8 mario bros dx wario land kirby triple deluxe New games I got and played: yokai watch legend of kusakari dkc 80s overdrive japanese rail sim 3d fairune : not a hidden gem! mario maker : the built-in levels are top-notch. 3D classics twinbee lylat wars 3d : fichina??! luigi's mansion 2 gurumin 3d : lovely, charming game. mole mania : yes, @Jonnas, I confirm this game is okay. also, got these one weekend in a three for two: mario tennis 3d : fun, actually monkey ball 3d : scratched to pieces but worked pilotwings : unknown only to return them the following monday because pilotwings didn't work (it was the reason i tried to take advantage of the deal). in an oversight, i bought style boutique twice—from the final eshop frenzy, and picked up the cart along with yokai watch 1 & 2, style boutique 2 and dillons dead heat-breakers. head like a sieve, sometimes. And there's still more new 3DS stuff (unplayed games and demos!) to go in 2024 and beyond. No chance of being on top of things in time for the Switch 2.
  11. Yup, that sounds Probotectory. More info here: https://www.konami.com/games/contra/og/us/en/
  12. Farming is a fight against the seasons/ elements.
  13. Dude. Wot. Name em and shame em. Off the top of my head this thread could be part of: Official Mario 64 Thread (if still around from N64-Europe) Official Mario/ Mario 64 Appreciation Thread Mario 64 Retrospective Thread N64 Appreciation (good times) Mario 64 Wii VC Thread Wii VC General Discussion Applicable Wii U equivalent Could bump the Mario 64x4 thread for the bants Mario 3D All-Stars Official Thread A game mod thread Failing all that and anything else not brainstormed, the holy grail: teh megathread of Cubes choosing Avenues aplenty!
  14. Just watched some scenes after being funnelled back to Rosehill and I feel directly implicated in the events of DQ IV now. Surreal.
  15. That shot you up ~20 levels? I love it. I've detoured into Circle of Indulgence, Middle Echelon and just went back to have another stab at the dragon boss, Ash, in Temper, Middle Echelon. Managed to squeak through it with three reserves still standing. It was thanks to a shivery shrubbery from Indulgence with Kazam otherwise we would've been done for. I was just trying to keep the newly synthesised metal slime knight alive to the end to make sure he wouldn't miss out on the exp on the off chance we got the win. My party is very much still baby monsters compared to how yours is coming along. I just dropped out a cannonbrawler for the flamethrower you get through the story. Otherwise, of my current eight, four are slime variations—sugarstar, spiny, beshemoth and metal slime knight. Lowest ranked I'm carrying is a rank F snowmangler which I'll look at jettisoning next. Hope there's a higher rank snowman monster to get.
  16. Promoted what they have, something about the Plucky Squire, Stickman thing, the Mr Driller game they have, cricket through the ages!, Omnibus (a 32-bit bus thing). a dodge-the-buzzsaw game called Disc Room, crash dummies... iRobot? No, The Talos Principle II, some stupidity called Baby Steps. And probably plenty more besides that sailed right over my head. Please don't ask for timestamps.
  17. Yeah, but, it's no coinkydink they waited until after SoR4 came out to add Rival Turf! to NSO.
  18. For avid followers of this thread, it's a bit mental in the context of what's been recently shared in this thread. Otherwise: distinctly average fayre for those in the know who'd care to check a look.
  19. Encountered, failed to scout, beat my first metal slime. Despite it jumping everyone a level, I went on to lose to the dragon boss here anyway. Reset to last save, spent talent points, made sure they all have an accessory and thought I might as well Zoom over to the Mauloseum to turn in these mini medals... which has yielded a level 10 metal slime. Yes, please.
  20. Soon you'll be scouting monsters over level 10 and the guy will set up shop in Rosehill Tower (which you can always walk to if you prefer not to Zoom...). As for them starting at level 1, that's put me off synthesising for the time being until I get far enough for a good grinding spot. I reckon the game is set up in such a way that you can get through at least everything I've seen with directly scouted monsters.
  21. If the tournament MCs aren't doing it for you then I wouldn't advise against it. I still regret persevering with DKC: Returns rather than getting shot of it in CeX when the rate was high.
  22. A packed half an hour of: demos and updates new games news and release dates
  23. Great question and one I've looked into. They've said 3 is standalone with only thematic consistency, far as I remember. However I price check 2 from time to time rather than jump straight to 3.
  24. Also saw Godzilla Minus One at the weekend and thought it was really good. The above endorsement made it a priority. Probably by default the best thing I've seen all year because cinema has been fairly cack as far as I mind. Easily recommend it if there's a showing near you.
