Ditto. Mine will be coming in soon. Just squeezing the last few drops of game time out of the year, just in case.

The Ravens really do look unstoppable at the mo, but why do I get the feeling that if Belichick gets another go at them he’ll find some way to eek a 13-10 win?

Little bit of a catch up for me. 23/10 – Lego Harry Potter Complete Series Another one played with my daughter who loves Lego. Not a massive fan of Potter but I do think these are among the best of the Lego games. A nice fun distraction. 24/10 – Assemble with Care Fun enough little game with an overly twee story attached to it. Fixing the items was cool but only really got interesting for the last couple. 24/10 - Pilgrims Having loved Chuchel and counting Machinarium as amongst my favourite games ever; I was looking forward to getting stuck in to this one. No Sir; tried it; don’t like it. Didn’t really like the trial and error gameplay and thought the world design was horrible. It’s only really 30 minutes or so long and is made for you to go back and find other ways of completing the “puzzles” but I felt no desire to after one play through. 19/11 – Luigi’s Mansion 3 Now we’re talking. What a wonderful game this is. Taking everything that was good about the first two games and mixing them with some new ideas and bingo! Proper GOTY material. I love that there is nothing else like this game; it’s such a charming and unique experience that you can’t help but be captivated by it. A couple of frustrating bits not withstanding I enjoyed this from minute one to the last and, unless Fallen Order is something really special, it will absolutely be my Game of the Year. Previously

If he has I’ve missed it. Regardless the takes should be hilarious.

Can’t wait for the TCGS take on this. Will Mat be the only person in the world to keep his pre-order?

Re Dead Redemption social campaign simulator; try to make the people of Hyrule accept those scary fuckers at the bottom of the well ain’t so bad after all.

Ah well, life goes on.

Much like James Farley; I wasn’t sure where Apple Arcade fit in my life so I was happy to skip it knowing I would probably be missing some gems I wouldn’t play any way. But then… What the Golf – 12/10/19 The buzz this game was getting was too buzzy to ignore, and after all AA was free for a month so I could easily sack it off when I’d had my fill. WTG was totally worth the dive in to Apple’s ecosystem. It totally reminded me of Mario Galaxy/3D World in the way it would throw ideas at you and just as quickly move on from them. Only a few knuckle-bitingly hard ‘Crown’ levels stopped this from being a total delight from start to finish. As I’m here… Cricket Through the Ages – 12/10/19 From the sublime to the ridiculous. A fun little distraction which is obviously intended for drunk multiplayer times but I battered through the single player modes anyway. It never becomes more than said fun distraction (and the less said about the War level the better) but worth throwing a quick download at for sure. As I’m still here… Tangle Tower - 17/10/19 This was a surprise. I saw someone on here describe it as Ace Attorney X Prof Layton (sounds familiar) and thought ‘I’m not getting out of AA anytime soon’ and promptly downloaded. That was a great description of a great game. Great characters, great writing, great mystery. Great! Lots of red herrings but each with a story payoff and only a one or two hanging threads at the end. If you like your visual novels on the more interactive side you absolutely have to give this a go.

Well The Tank Bowl was a game only a mother could love with the Skins juuuuust surviving thanks to a poor 2 point conversion attempt at the death. The FishTank continues unabated and Washington get to celebrate barely beating a team actively trying to lose and pretend the franchise isn’t face mask deep in horse shit. woooooooo

DC fire Gruden. it needed to happen but it doesn’t help the root cause of the ineptness which, unfortunately, is the guy doing the firing (and the guy doing the roster building to a slightly lesser extent). Seriously think the Phins will obviously and observably have to throw the game next week to lose.

Blimey, I was only in there On Friday. I used to work in the other one between 1999-2003 but much preferred to shop in GS once I no longer had staff discount. Was gutted when it turned in to another Game but if I ever need to do trades I still went there.

I think I’d take the ban to be rid of Dan Snyder.

This theory will be tested in a couple of weeks when the Skins lose to them. We are historically awful. At least Miami have the excuse they’re trying to lose.

Link's Awakening - 25/09/19 Working from home this week has it's upside. Namely getting to finish this beaut in my lunch hour. I remembered far too much of it for it to be challenging but it was wonderful to walk around a gorgeous hi-res diorama of Koholint. Frame rate issues were noticeable but not enough to bother me and it was worth it all to see the Wind Fish in his non-pixely glory. Not really much more to add, great time was had for a few days and now to look forward to Luigi on Brexit Day. Previously

I got a dupe with my 'tutorial' go on the pipe, how the fuck do they let that happen? I wasn't really in to begin with, just had a look out of curiosity, but with that I'm hard out. Also having to either steer normally, or drift everywhere is ridiculous, makes slight line correcting nigh on impossible. Avoid!
