Didn't notice any jaggies, game looks amazing.

Arrived home to an unexpected treat - my copy has arrived!

Should still be on, ends on the 29th. But yeah, definitely the worst theme.

Oh wow, wasn't expecting that score! I was worried the music wouldn't be that good based on their music choice for the theme in Tetris 99, seems I was right.

Same. I want to do a Maddening run but seems like a big time commitment. Didn't want to risk getting burned out.

Anyone know what the 1.0.1 is for? Did they fix the data stream issue?

I'm probably too late but you'll probably need to email [email protected] I don't think the Mynintendo store had a live chat. They reply pretty quick from my experience though. store.nintendo.co.uk don't handle those orders.

Had a random urge to play Path of Radiance, so started up a new hard mode save. Not played it since its European release. I already missing speeding up battles.

Not true. He got rid of the splash page. Still needs to sort of the line spacing though, everything's too close together. Congrats on the 20th anniversary, I appreciate all the work you do @Serebii.

Luigi's Mansion event starts on the 25th.

I want an Umbreon plushie though. What did you pickup @Glen-i?

Ugh, did the Cherub part today and it's the first time I had too restart that many times. Sometimes I was dying in seconds and there was nothing I could do. I beat the game anyway, I enjoyed the dialog between the Ghostbusters. The game is a bit janky in places but it really nails the feeling of being a Ghostbuster. As a side note, the comic series by IDW is really good and follows on from the game, it came out a few years ago and it's worth checking out.

base.com are taking preorders for the Asian retail versions of the Dragon Quest Trilogy and Final Fantasy VII & VIII. Seems a lot handier to go through them rather than Play Asia - and they're cheaper. Shame Play Asia already charged me for the DQ games or I would switch my preorder.

Just picked up mine, and a, uh, pizza for tea...

I knew you'd end up picking it up afterall @Hero-of-Time.

I still don't get the uproar about it.

You can't evolve them so they are even more useless. I do think Meowth's transformation is funny though.

It's not your fault, they are really badly named.

Looks like a site about wallpaper (?) jumped the gun a and posted an article early. Handheld that plays GB/C/A and others. https://www.wallpaper.com/lifestyle/analogue-pocket-vintage-handheld-game-boy#pic_1

I preordered mine from Blockbuster. You got a promotional VHS tape for preordering with trailers and stuff on. Still have it the tape but no way to play it.

Today is the Dreamcast's real birthday a.ka. the European release. It was a long wait for Christmas in 1999. Will play some Sonic Adventure and Crazy Taxi during the weekend. Got a soldering iron so might attempt to fix the reset bug.

The level growth is just based on class. Not sure how I feel being old, but does that mean I'm wise?

CEX only gives £2 cash or £3 trade in. Probably after buying the envelope and eBay fees I'll probably only get about that anyway. I've noticed GAME's trade in checker doesn't give prices for 3DS games so it looks like they don't even expect it either. Yeah, maybe. I need to work out what I want to part with though. It's kinda hard, but feels a shame for some of them to just be sat on my shelf unplayed. I don't think I have the time or energy to play everything. Want to get rid of some One Piece DVDs I imported from America, but not sure how easy they are going to be to sell since we got the large sets and they are region 1 DVDs.

Good point. Have your Russian cards worked before, you can't normally use cards from outside the region of the eShop?

Yeah, I think I'm going to start getting rid of some games I either haven't played or am unlikely to play again. Problem is I'm not sure what to do with some games that don't really have much value, like Tetris on the 3DS. Donate to charity maybe?
