No but in all seriousness this stuff should never die. Let United remember what they did.

Did you ever hear the tragedy of United Airlines the Overbooked? I thought not. It’s not a story the CEO would tell you. It’s a sky legend. United Airlines was an Airline of the sky, so powerful and so overbooked he could use Force to influence the passengers to give up their seats… He had such a knowledge of the police that he could even keep the employees he cared about from not having a seat. The police's use of Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. He became so powerful… the only thing he was afraid of was losing his seat, which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew, then his apprentice KO'd him and took his seat. Ironic. He could save others from losing their seats, but not himself

Just bought a Wacom Intuos Art Small for €61 on eBay (€36 for the tablet and €25 postage).

Hopefully I can make use of this one, not like the other drawing tablet I have from a few years back.

Wacom boards are pretty reliable, so you're good hopefully.

I can't believe they made headlines again today when a man was stung by a ****** scorpion on a flight today by them.

Like how the hell can one company be this bad at their job?

Also scorpion class confirmed for Fire Emblem?

How do you trigger the Kakariko shrine quest?

 

[PLATINUM7]

How do you trigger the Kakariko shrine quest?

If you mean the one involving the ball in Impa's house, you have to complete some side quests around town first.
There's one involving the old painter guy, one for a guard whose cuccos haven't returned and one for a girl who works at the armour shop.

I think each quest opens up after the previous one and are started at different times of the day in game.

So you can receive a beatdown and get stung by a scorpion in a United flight?

Guess we know who is the real United CEO now:

I hear the scorpion was also responsible for dragging the passenger off the plane.

Some of the eyewitnesses claim that as he did so, he yelled "GET OVER HERE".

Just a warning guys; there is a hacker group currently targeting many YouTube videos and are changing the title and description to be the same in these videos. The specific channel that was hacked is called Studio 71, which houses tons of YouTube channels. Be cautious and do not click on any links in the description of these videos as they clearly are trying to get advertisement revenue.

EDIT; Apparently, they do not have malicious intentions and are only doing these hacks to show that our security isn't always secure...

I am getting pretty addicted to this Puyo Puto Tetris demo. The full game needs to released ASAP.

Also, LUVIN' the voice acting in it (WAAAAAAAAAAYYYYY better than what we got with Puyo Pop Fever).

I don't remember if we've talked about this before but Jude Law is playing Dumbledore in the Fantastic Beasts sequel:

I mean I haven't really watched Harry Potter or Fantastic Beasts but I love Jude Law so I'm pretty excited.

Alright, finally decided to do a review of Yooka-Laylee.

The Good: It's a 3D collectathon following the same formula of the original Banjo-Kazooie, while it takes some cues from Tooie, the game very strongly sticks to the styles and mechanics of the first game, while still managing to be original. The worlds, while bigger than those in Tooie, stay entirely manageable and self sustaining as opposed to being interconnected, and prove to be great fun to traverse with a great variety of challenges to complete for pagies. The worlds are all well designed and the music is masterfully composed, so it's even fun to just wander around them. Dialogue is just as charming and witty as in the games that inspired this one, filled to the brim with that classic British humour. While this game doesn't come close to being as good as Banjo-Tooie, it definitely holds its own against Banjo-Kazooie, and even comes out on top in some regards.

The Bad: In certain areas, the camera will suddenly switch to a different perspective and remain locked there, unable to be moved. The transition is instant and will throw you off slightly, but these places aren't very frequent and the only major camera issue I had was with the first boss. Rextro's arcade games range from a really bad one, to an almost passable one, with a lot of meh in between. He only has five games, but they each have to be completed twice for a total of ten pagies, the second of which from each one you're required to beat his high score to obtain, which is only really annoying with the first game.

The Ugly: Playtonic seems to have forgotten how to make fun quiz shows. There are three segmented at certain parts of the game, all play out exactly the same, and not in good ways. For some reason, the text in these sections come to a crawl, with no ability to speed it up, this is compounded by the fact that dialogue is repeated. For every, single, question. The placement of the quizzes is also problematic, as instead of being one quiz at the end of the game which you would be well prepared for, you can stumble upon a quiz before you even enter the worlds it starts asking questions about. Once you enter a quiz room, there's no backing out unless you lose, so I recommend just looking the answers up (which the game even jokingly mentions).

Spoiler: World Reviews

Ordered from my personal favorite, to least favorite.
*Note, other than the first world, I expanded all of the other worlds before entering them.

Galleon Galaxy
This world is... out of this world. Absolutely my favorite of the bunch by a long shot, better than even my favorites from Banjo-Kazooie. Breathtaking on a visual level, amazing thematically, and just plain fun. It contains the most indoor segments of any of the worlds, feeling a bit more like a Tooie world than a Kazooie world. It's also home to this masterpiece by David Wise:

Sorry Grant.

Moodymaze Marsh
Like the lovechild of Bubblegloop Swamp and Mad Monster Mansion, I might be a bit biased because of my location and general love of all things spooky. It does retread a bit of Banjo ground, as there was a haunted swamp world in the oft forgotten Grunty's Revenge, but it manages to stay original despite that. As the title would suggest, the level is definitely easy to get lost in, but never frustratingly so, different areas of the level almost feel self contained, like they're worlds of their own.

Capital Cashino
Somehow, despite the fact that I hate being in casinos in real life, casino levels in games are always a lot of fun, probably because you can't smell the booze and smoke. Capital Cashino is no exception, it's full of all sorts of fun objectives and style. On the negative side, it's home to the absolute worst Kartos challenge. Leave the mine carts to Donkey Kong.

Tribalstack Tropics
The only thing holding this level back is it's theme, it's well designed and a great first level, but grassy starting areas are so overdone in games. It's pretty much Mumbo's Mountain/Mayahem Temple x2, but still a lot of fun in its own right.

Glitterglaze Glacier
The weakest stage, imagine the ice side of Hailfire Peaks, but as the entire level. It's one saving grace is the Icymetric Palace, if only for it's unique perspective. The world isn't bad by any means, but it's rather barren and bland. There's also a single pagie with a puzzle that was not well designed, and is pretty much impossible to get without a guide or by accident.

Bonus HUB review
Hivory Towers is a serviceable hub world clearly modeled after Grunty's Lair, but thematically similar to Grunty Industries. It's nowhere near as memorable as the OG lair, but it does have more charm than the Isle o' Hags in Tooie.

My overall score is 8.5/10, nearly a full 10 on the personal enjoyment scale. Currently my GOTY.

Reposting this since it got cut off on the last page.

*casually checking to see if Smyths have the new amiibo listed*

Doesn't seem like they have them yet..WAIT WHAT!?

I bought the Chibi-Robo amiibo alone for €15.

I bought Mega Yarn Yoshi for €45 IIRC.

I bought TPHD amiibo bundle for €60 IIRC (though I got a free t-shirt).

I want my money back.

Seems like they are trying to clear out anything with amiibo in the name. Most of the figures are €3 or €5.

I have jury duty and I sent a kind of BS excuse trying to get out of it.

I'm probably too late though. I'm suppose to call in tomorrow for assignment junk or whatever

To be honest? I like these kind of hacks. Little reminders that you're not as safe as you think you are. I feel that people need a little wake-up call from time to time to get them off their ass and on their feet about the reality of their security.

 

[InsaneAlchemist]

One hundred and twelve videos into the important videos playlist and counting. I'm not gonna back out of this now. I must see this through.

Also my boyfriend gave me Don't Starve Together and we ended up playing. I went in as Wickerbottom for the early items that I would otherwise have to make a science machine. My boyfriend ended up playing Willow who should hopefully make up for my character's inefficiency at combat. So far we would make a good team if I haven't lost randomly gotten lost.

If I've learnt anything from watching TV, the best way to get dismissed is to go dressed as Princess Leia or mention that you read books.

 

[ChikoLad]

I'm actually an idiot for being an early adopter on Nintendo stuff on the Wii U generation.

I didn't buy all of this but still.

Xenoblade Chronicles X is already out of stock everywhere though. That would have been a steal if it was still there.

I'm still gonna head to my local Smyths tomorrow just to see if I find anything not shown here though.

 

[praline]

25 remaining shrines.

 

[ChikoLad]

Press F to pay respects.

Also found Bayonetta 1+2 for €15, but it was out of stock...but they still had them both separately for a total of €45. Unfortunate. Another potential steal lost.

 

[Chrono.]

Well I got Persona 5.

Goodbye world. I planned on beating BOTW before getting this but I dillydallied too much in this game and don't want to fight Ganon yet.

 

[praline]

24 shrines left and I think 6-8 aren't shrine quests. Huh.. there's still more that I just have to find.

In other news this may be the most disturbing BotW screenshot I've gotten so far.

Funny that you mentioned that since I literally just completed that game. Fantastic game all around and I'd highly recommend it for anyone with an interest in JRPGs. Just be prepared to have a LARGE amount of time devoted to playing this.

Been really agitated for the past few hours gor no real reason. It's even more annoying because i cant even think of a reason to tell myself "it doesnt matter" and move on. blegh

Only good news is i realized the perfect game to get into after this month long slump, metroid Fusion. Hopefully i can remember until monday when i can play it :/

following the same formula of the original Banjo-Kazooie, while it takes some cues from Tooie, the game very strongly sticks to the styles and mechanics of the first game,

wow i didnt think i could want this game more.

To be fair that's a horse I stole from another Bokoblin close by.

Not a fan of Tooie, I take it?

Personally, I love Tooie far more than Kazooie, it's my favorite game of all time. So I hope Tooka-Laylee follows suit.

But yeah, it was very apparent to me that they went back to Banjo-Kazooie for this game instead of just continuing where Tooie left off. The game is structured like Kazooie, worlds are separate from each other and you warp into them instead of it all being one interconnected world. Even with worlds bigger than Tooie's, they feel far more like the first game's worlds. The moves are all simple moves, nothing gets Tooie level of fancy. Interactions are more like the first game, you talk to a character and then do a simple task to get a pagie, no intricate mini-quests like Tooie. And of course, collectibles are more like Kazooie, the most obvious comparison is the ghost writers being mechanically similar to Jinjos, five per world instead of randomized families.

Shortest way I can think to explain it is it's compact like Kazooie rather than expansive like Tooie.

Really though, people. Play this game. It's an absolute steal for that price.

I don't know......

Early in the game when you just happen to run across a Lynel and they just stand there and stare at you......yikes.

Just prefer BK
i gladly 100%'d BK but couldnt finish tooie for some reason even though i enjoyed it.


Kazooie just felt so neat and tidy and compact, and tooie felt almost overwhelming to me sometimes.
