I'm still utterly baffled as to how the game is going to come out on the Switch. I know graphically it can make a fair stab of it, but I'd have thought all the maths and stuff that goes into making the game's galaxy tick would make a Switch explode...if they pull it off, it would possibly be the greatest Switch port ever. Possibly the most impressive port full stop.

 

 

Even the PS5 60fps version runs choppily so I can't see it working at all on the Switch.

edit: Maybe I've been running the PS4 version on PS5 by mistake. It wouldn't be the first time I've done that!

Fuck it. I feel old. I’m going to bed.

The stream quality is a bit shit. Or is it me?

I’m going to watch for a bit. If it’s crap I’ll go to bed.

I have achievement/trophy notifications turned off. I rarely look at them unless I’m trying to figure out if I’ve missed something.

Within those 500 hours I’m assuming I’d have to eat, sleep, work, etc. That would mean around 50 gaming hours max for me.

I’d probably just browse and download stuff but not actually play anything. 

I can imagine it being quite impressive at the time on the Amiga. But on the Megadrive, it didn’t have those fancy colour effects, and we had already had Sonic. 
 

Same thing with Chuck Rock.

This thread was started in 2007, 16 years after Robocod was first released. It’s now 15 years since this thread was started.

I bought Robocod on the Mega Drive. It was pretty average, but I convinced myself it was a good purchase and played it a lot.

Has this been taken off Prime? I was halfway through watching it, now it's asking me to pay to see it.

 

It’s still got a Prime banner but it’s asking for money. Weird because it’s only been on Prime for about a week, I think.

Has anyone got any theories about …

Also yesterday, I had a quick scan through for a few bits and revealed a bit more footage.  There was a scene from Two Of Everything where it’s her in the black wig standing in front of a mirror taking some directions, but when you get the rewind bit - it’s a completely new character.  She’s got dark hair and wearing a bunch of necklaces that look vaguely pagan, but she basically looks sad and doesn’t say anything.  Never seen her anywhere else and no mention of anything that I can think relates to her - anyone else seen this? I’ve only just woken up so I’ll recheck the game in a bit for some more details.

I’ve found some other characters in the black and white footage, not the usual woman and man.

I don’t organise anything: games, books, films, photographs, documents. It’s all just a big mess. Lots of discs in wrong cases. Documents and letters shoved into shelves between books. I think it drives my wife a bit mad.

I thought Elden Ring got a 10.

Have they fixed the bug where you can’t reach the washing machine behind the trolley? I got caught out a few times holding washing but being unable to load it in the only free washer. The only solution was to quit out of the game.

ANNOYING.

 

I'm starting to burn out on this. Some of the Goals on the games don't fire - I've 100% a song multiple times on the dance game and it won't give me that one, now Not-Bubble Bobble won't give me the "drop 13 bubbles at once" award - and I've switched it off and on again. I've just bought the Whack-a-gopher as the last arcade from that group and have an investment opportunity too now.

 

I've finally started giving up on washing - it seems to have strangely gotten busier now that I've shrunk it down! The arcades are pulling close to £6k a day though, so it doesn't really give me a boost any more.

 

I reckon I'll keep going until I hit the credits, but I think I'll be ready to be done then.

Some of the goals fire multiple times. Due to a bug, I ended up with more than £1,000 for the upgrade shop.

I think I found one of those moments you mentioned and it completely made me jump when it happened. 

Now I can’t play it because my wife is using a loud food blender. Blending up cheese and stuff.

I’m finding it intriguing - no idea what I’m doing.

The only reason I got it on ps5 is that my joycons don’t work, so I’d have had to play it on the telly anyway. Handheld would be better.

I’ve always hated the idea of streaming (even if it works flawlessly). It just seems wasteful. Maybe I’m still in the mindset of having limited internet. 
 

I’ve still got a PS3, and don’t understand why Sony won’t let me play those PSPlus games natively.

That’s it. When you open it up it’s called “sound recorder” and won’t close.

At least that’s how it is for me on PS4/5.  It might be fine for other versions.

Aaah - the player not a recorder. Right. Yeah, I have that - not had it crash though.

I’m pretty sure it’s called “sound recorder”. I was confused by the name as in “what is it recording?”

Where do you get that? I’ve only got two machines left to buy and never seen it!

There’s a semi game-breaking bug.

I'm on console too (PS5). I'd probably just convinced myself that the running was working! 
 

edit: running works on PS5

Ektar film. The roll the middle one was on came back from the lab really streaky. I reduced as much of it as I could in Photoshop, so it's not really noticeable now.
