Glad that you're enjoying the game, Danes. I just noticed in your sig that you have amassed 62 Platinum trophies, dude... "gg"!

Cheers Jawa, I go through phases with trophies where for a while I get bang in to them but then I leave them for a bit. Currently in the middle of a lull. I was top of the GRcade trophies leaderboard for ages but I was overtaken by a couple of people and I doubt I'll ever catch up again.

TMNT Shredder's Revenge
Finished the arcade mode in normal with no credits. Been less successful on gnarly mode though, it's pretty tough. The hoverboard stages are such a pain in the hole. Will finish the story mode with each of the characters to see the different endings, then that's me done.

Animal Crossing
Helping my son pay off his Tom Nook debts!

Immortals Fenyx Rising
Again, helping my son in parts with this - just returned the first god to normal form. It's a really enjoyable laid back playground; much better than expected tbh!

The Last Of Us - Part II
I loved the first game, but, honestly, after the first few hours I was ready to say this wasnt for me. Just seemed like endless cutscenes and guided walking sections with like 5 minute (albeit, exciting moments of) gameplay. However, now I've reached Seattle, this is much more like it! The part after the elementary school (with the WLF) brings back fond memories of factions. Loved that I was able to bring the infected out of a building to chase after them

Got around to starting Legends Arceus again, unlike BDSP I don’t reckon it’ll feel like a chore to play through this again, I was pondering doing one last run of Sword as well but talked myself out of it

Started Fallout 76 last night in co-op and it seems alright so far. I don’t think I’ll bother with too much building and we’ll mostly be concentrating on just getting the campaign done.

Just finished Portal 2 and it's still fantastic. Such an incredible group of characters driving the story. Glados, Wheatley and Cave Johnson are all perfectly cast.

It was good to see you and Pedz stream some of the action last night, Cumbers!

It's funny as some folk - such as myself - really get into the building aspect whilst other folk prefer to concentrate on the missions. You and Pedz were steaming through that lumber mill last night!

Nice one, Zilnad - it sure is great, isn't it? I recently completed Portal on Switch and I've just started Portal 2. Terrific titles!

I just successfully completed a song on "Normal" mode for the first time in Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA Mega Mix on Switch . I usually stick to "Easy" as I find that tough enough!

The track was my current fave; "39 Music!". It's so good!


I saw Jazzem stream some Hatsune Miku gameplay ("Hard" mode) the other week and he was dang superb at it . What got me is that he was reading the chat text and casually talking whilst playing . I have to *really* concentrate .

Monument Valley: Panoramic Edition (PC) - Had heard great things about the iOS version of this a few years ago and saw it had finally made its way to Steam bundled with the sequel and all DLC for just over a tenner so snapped it up.

Its brilliant and mind bending and I love it, very similar to Echochrome on the PSP but a lot more colourful and far less frustrating.

I like cute anime girls (in a non creepy way) as much as the next man but NGL, that was excruciating on my ears.

Glad you're enjoying the game though.

Fire Emblem Warriors Three Hopes - finished my second play through and unlocked all secret characters. Just started the final house and will see if there is much difference this time.

I do miss the simplicity and pure musou fun of the first game. But this is growing on me a little.

Friends, I recently started to play 'Resident Evil' on my Windows 10 PC. But after a few minutes of gameplay, I am getting this error "Graphics device driver error code 43." I have no idea why this happens. Has anyone encountered such kind of issue before? Please help me to fix it.

I'm not actually playing this yet... but I will be.

It's time to replay Mad Max. With the current heat levels, the immersion will be unreal. Gonna boot it up on my PS4.

A.I The Somnium Files

Just finished the Iris route, which was pretty heart wrenching stuff please let there be an ending where the poor lass doesn't die horribly

I think I have two more endings to see before the true ending A-Set must live!

Got done with Mass Effect 2 on Monday night, aced the survival mission thankfully and moved on to ME3. Feel bad for Miranda as I made her cry but I’m all about the blue aliens

Been playing the DLC, I did Leviathan yesterday and got part way through Omega. It’s been great playing the trilogy like one big game.

Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning
This is starting to drag a bit now, and I don't even reckon I'm halfway through it. Combat is quite frequent, but incredibly simplistic, and so it wears thin fast. Quests aren't all that interesting, and the even the main story isn't particularly gripping. I'm the kind of person who likes to explore whole areas, do every side quest, open every treasure chest, etc, but I get the feeling that doing that here will take me dozens and dozens more hours. I might just stick to the main quest and finish it off quickly, rather than persist as I am at the moment and end up quitting through boredom.

Poi
Very close to the end of this now. It's been decent, but I'm probably about ready to be done with it. Don't think I'll bother going for 100% completion - again, just a bit too tedious to make it worthwhile.

Muse Dash
Having a lot of fun with this. One gripe though is that not all songs seem to have a Master difficulty, which - typically - includes a lot of the best songs in the game. I would've liked to have gone through some of my favourite songs on the highest difficulty, as that's where I find them the most enjoyable, but it doesn't look like all songs have that option. Bit disappointing.

Golf Club Wasteland
I liked the sound of this and picked it up yesterday as it was going cheap on Steam. I like the concept, the aesthetic, and the soundtrack, but the 'golf' itself is a bit of an exercise in frustration. The aiming and power are just too inaccurate and inconsistent to make it as enjoyable as it could've been. It's also not always clear what constitutes an obstacle and what doesn't, leading to a bit of a trial and error approach, which again is frustrating. I'll see it through to the end, but making the controls that bit more polished could've elevated this, I feel.

Decided to get back to my second runs of BDSP, just caught Dialga in BD and going to be on my way to Snowpoint in SP when I next load it up. On the second run they’re still pretty average remakes with issues but considering I’ve got this far I may as well see it through and get myself another couple of Arceus in the process. Still not a patch on Legends Arceus mind.

Currently playing Factions in The Last Of Us.

Nothing more satisfying than beating some sorry cry baby bitch ass sniper pussy momma boy types. I don’t know who was on our team but he was like a strawberry floating terminator

Edit: aaaaaaaand here are three things that annoy me

1.The respawn takes forever. This is what it probably feels like waiting for a bus.

2. “Team mates” trying to take the other team in by themselves. Silly banana splits.You really need to play as a team cos if you don’t, you gonna get bitched slapped.


3. When you murder someone & you have to pick up the blue can / supplies for your clan, then you get murdered. Then you get put right at the other side of the strawberry floating map & continually get slapped about as your team mates are shite. Then you can’t pick up the blue can because of shite game design.
