Posted August 11, 2014 I loved that show. Mr. Shake-Hands Man was genius. Why is TV so poo now? So true... I'm not sure but I know it's one of the reasons that I play videogames more than I do anything else entertainment related such as TV etc, I tend to only properly sit down and watch one programme a week if that. At times like this I am grateful for my backlog of games across all formats. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 11, 2014 (edited) Anyine tried out that blok drop u game on offer atm? i know fifty pence aint a major saving, but eighty p for a punt on a game aint no great sacrifice for my wallet(oh noes mobile gaming mentality) but yeah...little tempted. reminds me of something ive played befofre but cant quite place what - 2d boomblox springs to mind and maybe a tad of misremembered crayon physics. scram kitty is tempting me too, got some creds sitting on the shop so not really even making purchases for thiese...

Posted August 11, 2014 I loved that show. Mr. Shake-Hands Man was genius. Why is TV so poo now? The worst thing that happened to television was the neutering of the regional TV stations - Anglia, Granada, Yorkshire etc - around the turn of the millennium. These places worked so hard to make shows actually worth watching after 10pm on ITV. My teenage years (the 1990s) were spent enjoying programmes like The Warehouse, The Magic & Mystery Show, The Mysterious West and several ghost stories, dating and arts shows that I can't even remember the names of, but they were great! These programmes were so obscure it's even hard to find out about them on the internet... but then, they were pre-internet. I'm old. It was a different age. Nowadays TV channels go for films, films, films - cheap to show and repeated endlessly, but it's crap for the viewer. Anyway, that's off-topic, so to say something on-topic: can't wait for Shantae 3 and Shovel Knight! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Block drop is REALLY cheap, a bit nasty, but actually I quite like, though I'm a sucker for a puzzler. For less than a quid you can't really go wrong. Scram is WELL WORTH IT!

Posted August 12, 2014 Cheers @dazzybee, though the game done changed just seeing in londragon's post that Child of Light is coming up for discount too! Was literally thinking as I made my last post I'll probably not get that until it's on a price reduction. Will have to check if it's enough credit for all 3... Why do bloody reductions appeal to me so! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted August 13, 2014 (edited) Well now! Guess I'm upgrading MM1-6 to Wii U VC status then! Sorry Mega Man Anniversary Collection and MM1-3 US Wii VC, but you're all useless now :p (ok, the two Power Fighters games are alright I suppose, so MMAC isn't completely useless yet...)

Posted August 18, 2014 I got ASS FLAG 6 months ago as a physical copy, played it for an hour and never touched it again. This is why you should never buy 3 games at the same time :P Anyway, after the sale I noticed some miiverse activity about it and finally started to get stuck in with it this week and I love it, totally worth the £9.99 I would say. Sadly for me, the receipt in my case says £22.00 :P If only I'd have waited! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
