Seems like just @BowserBasher and I.

EDIT: BB there with the cloak sniping.

Perfect Dark on the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack - N-Europe Multiplayer (12/07/2024)

Thanks for the games.

Some more excellent multiplayer matches with random weapon sets, well... almost random aside from some of us (or just me) still looking at the screen and seeing "Oh look... 'X' weapon!" but still managing to get grenades quite frequently... which quickly devolved into *Select Proximity Pinball* then chuck it and run.

Oh and I brought two knives to a gun fight in some of the matches, and won.

The challenges were great fun as always, especially the King of the Hill scenario with high level simulants.

[Glen-i]

A little more progress in the challenges done. Thanks! Haven't got to the point where it goes so hard, we'll have to resort to cheating with a certain glitch yet.

So, @BowserBasher demonstrated this to me while we were playing through Special Agent. If you leave the Camspy right before this meeting cutscene, go to put the door decoder on the safe, and then immediately move the camspy into the meeting and trigger the cutscene, then the countdown until the safe opens goes on while the cutscene plays, so you don't have to fend off enemies.
He also said that the "Speedrun" timer that unlocks cheats still freezes for this cutscene, so it makes it easier to unlock the cheat on this level.

Neat!

Of course, all the knowledge in the world doesn't stop you blundering...

Man that was fun. Triple Kill with the rocket launcher (and one was me) I can’t find it in the stream at the moment.

I so wanted that to be my cutscene. Very funny.

That was an "if I'm going down, you're all coming with me" moment.

It won't be for some weeks (I'm going on holiday on Wednesday) but at some point it would be good to give Mario Party a go. Used to love those when I was younger but now all my friends live abroad 😭

@Glen-i We have willing victim.....I mean player for a Mario Party session. Would be great to get you in a game and see how friendships are ruined.

Fantastic! I loved the DS game but, just like the other guys said, never played the GBA entries due to them never leaving Japan. I was always tempted to import them but now I don't have to.

Was able to pick it up on DS too. Had a bit of charm to it.

I'll probably get around to these next year when the NSO sub is coming up for renewal.

My brother might be able to join us, he just needs to join the game with me on his friends list, right?

Thanks for the games.

What happens when you give someone too much power.

When you're out "Final Boss"-ing the Final Boss.

OMG that went on way longer than I thought. I can only imagine what the voice chat was like. 

[Glen-i]

@S.C.G if you're up for Perfect Dark, we are too. Just join whenever.

[BowserBasher]

Well that went well. @S.C.G Shame on you for not using fly-by-wire along with the rest of us. 
I think we need a proximity mines only match one day.

Perfect Dark on the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack - N-Europe Multiplayer (19/07/2024)

Thanks for the games.

Weapon of choice - Unarmed... in a match where weapons were available.

Everyone got the same weapon of "choice" later on, but then... that was in a match with no weapons.

Rockets only, that was fun, Proximity mines were... yep... and shields remain useful. 

We did well on the challenges, until the simulants started cheating, so that's the end of those.

Good games though.

Yeah, so I went with the trusty old Custom Challenge glitch, and now everything is unlocked. (Including the characters, thankfully, they're not tied to higher difficulties in single player)

Remember, using a Maian body with a human head is cheating and everyone will shun you for it.

Having a great time playing through PD on Secret Agent again! Have also been unlocking some of the Speedrun Challenge Cheats along the way too.  Here’s a few I’m particularly proud of…

Such an incredible game! One of Rare’s absolute finest!

Agree completely. I never completed this on Perfect Agent on N64 and probably never got half the cheats. But I'm having a blast with this now and it's thanks to save states in the app. I know some may say cheat, but there's no way I'd do these without them. anyway, I'm uptown Pelagic II on Perfect Agent now. I have all the Agent cheats unlocked.

This is insanely close time limit. I'm sure with the perfect run you must only have a few seconds to spare. But mine, WOW, I couldn't have been much closer.

Yes that is the final time.

Never thought I'd get this one. Lots of reloading save states to get this.

Really proud of this just for the fact that I always found this level to be a maze and I would always get lost in it, no matter what difficulty. the fact that I have also just beaten this on Perfect Agent with next to no issues (I did make a save state but never needed to use it) shows just how easier it is now. Still took me over 10 minutes though.

Onto the rest of Perfect Agent, get WAR unlocked and see if I can do them. I want to get the mode unlocked which is the one you get after beating Perfect Agent, not WAR but the one you get to adjust the guards accuracy and such just like in Goldeneye. then I can play the full PA levels without being shot to death in 3 seconds when two guards find me,
