Not this surely? Receiving dollars is putting me off

Number 8: Metroid Zero Mission

Wanted to test the retro achievements by replaying this gem, still a perfectly distilled Metroid game

5/5

Fire me a PayPal link for a normal copy PJ

For a game that is basically trying to be “RE Greatest Hits” my two least favourite moments were the boss fights that were directly ripped from the RE2R/RE4

Also it was a tad easier than I’d like, go though every boss first time and managed to fully upgrade my base arsenal easily

Game number 7: Resident Evil Requiem

A marked improvement over RE7 and 8 mainly due to more satisfying combat even when playing as Grace

Albeit like most RE games it peaks in the first half, albeit the second half is at least a really good action game and drop a massive drop in quality

4/5

Looking Shrinking writers I get it I want Jessica Williams to get an Emmy too but I swear to god if she ends up losing a patient we’re gonna have words

I was going to ask why does Aaron Pierre look bored throughout most of the Lanterns trailer but then I remembered oh aye he’s playing John Stewart

Otherwise that is not what I want from a Green Lantern series

New anamanguchi music is putting me in the mood to go back and play Scott pilgrim

I mean it should put me in the mood to get the new one but I never beat the original

Torn between whether to listen now or experience in the game

Flash getting his secret identity revealed to the world but they already know

Justice league unlimited Lex not knowing who flash is

Starting reading Flash by Mark Waid last night and I think I found the inverse of the JLU Lex Luthor flash unmasking

Bringing back *that* character in the RPD is the first time I’ve thought “I didn’t like that decision” so the gsm is going well #ResidentEvilRequiem

This is a game I’ve always wanted to play so I’m happy it’s coming to switch

I already beat the main story on PS5 which is good because this would take over my life if I had it portably

(Please don’t have cross save)

As someone that went Blue->Leaf Green-> Let’s Go Eevee I’ve never had a proper red playthough so I kind of want to get it to Switch and have a red exclusive team for a different experience

My one fear is like RE7 (and to a lesser degree 8) the quality drops off a cliff in the second half

The biggest leap between RE9 an 7/8 is the combat actually feels fucking great, even has Grace

Shooting things in 7/8 felt like just emptying bullets into a non-reacting sponge until you hit a quota and it stopped moving

I was excited by this til I realised it was all volume 1’s

Hard pass

My partner agrees apparently

Anbernic, 3DS, Vita and OG GBA all playing Leaf Green

Anyway I’ll be spending the day trying to convince myself I need another way to play Leaf Green

Got out of the shower, got a towel to dry myself, noticed a spider on it and screamed

Cue the partner coming up thinking I was screaming over something exciting being announced for Pokemon day

Mew, Quaxley, Eevee, Gengar, Squirtle, Slyveon

Spending Pokémon day with the lads

I feel bad enough for breaking the BDS boycott for Scream 7 the least it could have done is actually be a good film

Did Dr Cox charge JD’s patient for a bed for a night just to make sure JD would come back the next day #scrubs

2 minutes into new Scrubs and I can’t help feel divorcing JD/Elliot retroactively takes away from the ending of the OG series

Course you could have argued doing this revival in anyway does that

Next up; Mister Miracle by King and Gerard’s

I would die for Big Barda

Also tried that new Radcliffe/Morgan show and although I got a few laughs from it definately more in line with Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt than 30 Rock

I haven’t mentioned it as much as J should but Shrinking Season 3 continues to be fantastic stuff, at this rate I may just rewatch it this summer when Ted Lasso season 4 comes out for a immensely better experience

4k Mario wonder is a damned tempting proposition on its own merit though

Mario Wonder Switch 2 looks like a fun game that I would not get the full value from unless it’s got random matchmaking online and leaderboards

Haven’t played NMH3 yet since I bounced off Travis Strikes Again pretty badly (the balance of reprieve gameplay to insanity wasn’t quite right) but so far I’d rank this above Shadow of the Damned/Killer is Dead but below NMH1/2 Lollipop and Killer 7, all of whom have a better vibe and OST
