New page for a brand new edition of BOSS KEYS A really enjoyable video overall as it explains Super Metroid in such a concise way. (obviously only watch these videos if you've beaten the games before, in some ways though... it can be used as a walkthrough at times) I can't wait for the next edition!

^ I meant to say at the time, that video is pretty insightful and one I'll likely return to once Dark Souls comes out on the Switch.

I ended up plugging away at the single player quests for most of yesterday afternoon, up to 7* Low Rank now. Later on, @Gadwin and I got some quests in online as well, everyone took turns to get their urgents done so that was good. Sorry I appeared to vanish at the end there Gadwin, internet cut out... I hope the other hunter (Hubey) wasn't too annoyed as I would have helped with his urgent as well. I should be around tonight hopefully, I know you mentioned that you've got a few days off as well now Gadwin so hopefully we'll be able to get you some more HR levels and gear. With any luck I'll be on some time after 9PM but it may well be later.

Well, I got back late last night but @Gadwin and I finally managed to get some quests in. Thanks for the quests, we managed to get through a fair few in an hour or so and as I said last night, I'm more than happy to help you get to HR5 and beyond! A few of the other players with us were chucking quests up onto the board like there was no tomorrow but they all seemed to stick around to help for a bit. I did "one last quest" to help them out before calling it a night and playing one more quest or two in the offline village quests, though I'm still on Low Rank for those ones. Monster Hunter for life!

Autumn... it HAS to be Autumn!

How are you getting on so far @Gadwin? I'm more than happy to help you get some more gear. As much as I'm enjoying G Rank, I'm happy to hunt on any rank, especially to help a fellow hunter out; you've helped me out enough times over the years afterall. I should be about a lot tomorrow, so if you're around on Sunday then just let me know when you want to hunt as we haven't managed to get any games in yet. Also, @Hero-of-Time that goes for you too it'd be nice if we could find a time where we could all play, that way you could both get some quests in and you wouldn't have to worry about random players not playing by the usually well-adhered to Monster Hunter etiquette, it's a real shame that some of the randoms you've been playing with won't help to get everyone through their Urgent quests etc. Anyway, the offer is always there so let me know when either of you want to hunt.

Who else remembers the original Traveller's Tales logo? I certainly do! Great video showing that piece of art behind it from the director of Traveller's Tales to celebrate one year of the YT channel. I only recently discovered GameHut but there are some great videos on that channel.

Thanks for the hunts @Glen-i we sure blitzed through a lot of quests in that one hour!

I only just got back from work, gotta go and cook some meat - Monster Hunter style - (so tasty!) for dinner and then I'll be around. I'll tentatively say... 11:30 PM

Thanks to @Dcubed @RedShell @Glen-i and @Ugh first aid for another unforgettable night of Monster Hunting! See you late tomorrow night hopefully.

If it helps, my signal strength is always on a single bar, but it will sometimes go between that and two bars for a second or two and I've only had one DC so far.

Here's N-E's roundup of the Direct with the usual PR info and the video if you want to watch or rewatch it.

Thanks for the hunts tonight @Glen-i @Dcubed and @Ugh first aid Definitely captured a few highlight videos, @RedShell you'll have to give me a quick guide please on how to put those captures onto Gifycat and I'll share them. Astalos and everything else was hunted tonight and they were all felled spectacularly. Also... A New Challenger Appears! My friend who I've been playing online games with for decades has joined the forum! Yes, my friend who I was just talking about... Please give a warm welcome to @Gadwin Welcome to the N-Europe forums my fellow moogle. =^-^= You might have started from scratch but I'm sure we can get you up to G-Rank in no time, so let me know when you want to play when we're both free and we shall hunt again!

8:30PM is fine.

Perfect! Shall I make the usual, established "Astalos Butchery" hub in the pub for around that time then? Anyone else joining for 8PM or later?

I'm up for some hunts! What time will you be hunting and will @Dcubed and @Ugh first aid be hunting alongside you tonight? Just thinking in terms of numbers because if @RedShell wants to join you three then that's fine, I can just join when there's space. But if there already is space then, absolutely! And if there's ever just two or three of us then I have a friend who I've been playing online games with for decades and he's another experienced Monster Hunter. In fact, there may be times when I'll be playing online with him (we've played online games together since PSO) and we haven't managed to get any games in on this yet. Then again, he has only just got the game... it seems like it was mostly just Red and I who were the lucky cats who got the game early.

See this is why... ...I really, really, really... ...love playing Monster Hunter! It was fantastic hunting alongside all of you this evening, I had a fantastic time, despite my initial disconnect at the start. Everything went flawlessly (moreorless) after that and I'm really thankful that I got to play a load of G-Rank quests which we blazed through. Though this game may lack voice chat, it makes up for it in the range of expression used through custom shortcuts, gestures and pure hunting spirit. (I'm not saying that makes the lack of communication options OK but hey, at least Capcom tried I suppose) Besides... from the sheer amount of content in the game and value for money it represents (sub or no sub) I still fully intend to keep playing. It might even be hard for me now to go back to Monster Hunter World and believe me, I do love both types of game. Anyway, thank you all again for the games as it was a real pleasure playing together again and here's to many more hunts!

be right there, got dcd, still killing that Diablos. on second thoughts... abandon quest.

Just making the room now. 43-3319-8991-8287 4444

Ah right then... I didn't realise all that DLC was now live... ...will be grabbing that and THEN I'll be ready for hunting. Downloading all nine pages of quests right now. All done! now for the rest of the stuff.

N-Europe's roundup of the showcase. Thanks to @Ashley for providing the press release.

Just try and stop me! I'll make the room at around 8PM or just before then?

I'm ready to play ALL the indie games!

Onimusha: Warlords for Nintendo Switch Yes please Capcom, but have a think about releasing it physically for all regions and across all formats. (Got to think of videogame preservation afterall)
