Day 10 - Credits Sequence Super Mario World

Day 8: Best Musical Moment I could pick loads of great music, but they don't necessarily coincide with a particular gaming moment. Think I'll go with the end of Mario Odyssey when you throw your hat at Bowser. Despite there being music with lyrics earlier in the game, it completely took me by surprise. It was really cheesy but somehow just worked and it was a nice touch adding the Mario 64 Bowser's theme riff in there. Made the ending of the game pretty awesome. Day 9: Scariest Moment The Last of Us Part 2. Pretty recent so I guess I'd better spoiler tag it...

Day 7 - Favourite ranged combat. Gears of War. The movement and cover system was so slick, active reload was really satisfying and the weapons all had a satisfying kick to them. The sequels probably improved upon it, but I mainly remember the original.

A bit late like old PAL releases... Day 6: Most Relaxing Navigation Sakura Wars - Most of the game is spent just strolling around the theatre talking to people. Almost picked Mass Effect 1 elevators.

A new Hydro Thunder and the revival of more Rare IPs might tempt me to get a Xbox. Lengthy trailers of Halo and Forza will have the opposite effect.

Unless Mercedes have reliability issues, looks like they're going to walk this championship.

That really sucks. Until now I've gone with digital versions of anything with multiplayer. Not so appealing if I have to pay £10+ extra.

I watched loads of seasons back to back with a NowTV subscription a couple of years ago, didn't realise they were making more. I think Season 5 was the last I saw. Where can I watch the latest seasons? Disney+ unhelpfully seems to only have the first 5.

I really enjoyed the PS4 remake. The trailer looks really spectacular and shows good use of the SSD, not sure constantly warping between worlds will be enjoyable to actually play though?

The tournament finished at the weekend. I managed to get to the knockout round, but was completely out of my depth at that point. Made a playlist of all my matches:

Disney?

A lot of us will have had this Galarian slowpoke for months wondering what it might evolve into. It's a bit of a let down seeing it revealed in a trailer.

Played my first Road to the Isle of Armor match, lost 2-1 but it was fun. I was surprised that there is no save replay feature, could've sworn that was in the 3DS games?

Started playing Odyssey a few days ago, the loading times are extremely long! It'll be interesting to see comparisons between Valhalla running on current gen and next gen consoles, instant loading would be very appealing.

I'm going back to work on Monday, I've not got much confidence my employer is doing things correctly though. They sent an illiterate Covid-19 Protocol letter out to everyone, it had the companies Spanish address on the footer. They clearly just Google translated it and haven't bothered doing a risk assessment themselves based on Welsh Government advice. They are insisting on face masks. As far as I know, Welsh Government guidance says these are not mandatory and only recommended in medical settings. It has some weird line about ventilation and air conditioning that makes no sense. And the temperature measurement rule sounds daft. If I go out for lunch and catch it, I'm not going to be showing symptoms by the time I get back to work.
