Grabbed some of the Tokyo x Were Bears too. No dupes...but also no Fang 🥲

Finished DarkSector. It was better than I remember it being. It's still a very..."influenced" feeling game though. Mechanically it takes cues from Gears of War. And there's also a lot of RE4 vibes in there too. The glaive is fun to use but also so OVERused I kinda got tired of hearing it's sound FX.

I swear this generation of games were all competing to be the most desaturated game on the market... Gotta admit though, it's quite refreshing going back to these types of games to get away from the endless open world bloat and GaaS nonsense we get today. Not that Dark Sector is amazing though...

Bought a thing from Joytoy. Very Titanfall inspired. Very sex toy sounding brand. 😅 You literally had to dress that little dude. He's about 3 inches tall. It was ridiculous. Lol. Same with the mech. An alloy skeleton with a bunch of stuff stuck to him. Looks cool though! 🤓

Finished Thank Goodness You're Here. It's a short (3h) but super funny game that's a great little slice of Yorkshire life Very crass humour that is right up my alley. Well worth checking out!

Got one of those new Google Fitbit Air Straps. I've always liked the data you get from smart watches but absolutely hate wearing them. I also don't utilise any of their apps because a phone does it all better anyway. This thing is perfect though. My hypochondria can now continue unhindered! 😅

SC: Pandora Tomorrow finished. Never liked this one as much as the first one. There are a couple missions that are ok but this game started the trend of Ubisoft Shanghai always making the worst games in the series. Lol It's a B team game that just kinda feels like a bunch of mid DLC for SC1.

I'm a slut for nostalgia so I grabbed a few of the blind-box Baby Three x Werebear plushies. First one I opened was the one I wanted. Fang! (the red one) Grizzler and Growler are OG's too so I'm happy. Do I chase Gums and Howler? 😬 I love their movable eyes! You can make them look super goofy.

I never bought this game to begin with, but this is precisely why I hate games that structure themselves around being always online for no real reason. A game you bought, potentially spent money on for content/cosmetics practically turning into a coaster just because they feel like it is BS.

Zorro: The Chronicles. Babies first stealth action game lol. Really easy even on hard. A basic version of Arkham Asylum's stealth and combat. But quite a nice art style and the KO animations are all fun. Has PS2 era game vibes. I kinda liked it. Short though at only 6 hours.

Finished 12 Minutes...and I have thoughts. Lol. The concept of the time loop where you learn more information to push the story forward was great. It was also genuinely intriguing. Really liked the top down presentation too and the voice acting was really good. But the twist was genuinely dumb.

Almost finished Akimbot, literally maybe 10 minutes left. But the car section at the end was so fucking awful I deleted it. No exaggeration, it was the absolute worst car section I've ever experienced. Rage inducing. And not a single checkpoint Which is a shame because the third person stuff is fun

Just played through the OG Splinter Cell using the EnhancedSC mod. And just having analogue movement makes it so much better to play on the Steam Deck. I have a lot of nostalgia for this game. This and Jet Set Radio Future were the reasons I bought an OG Xbox. And it still holds up really well.

Sony right now: "3.6 billion well spent 😭" Unless Marathon somehow turns things around (doubtful) I'd be surprised if Bungie are even still around in a couple years...which is pretty depressing considering they birthed Halo... but their management has been terrible. It's all their own doing.

Learning that Ubisoft has lost 1.7 billion dollars over the last fiscal year is the kind of schadenfreude that sustains me. That company needs to stop being an Assassin's Creed/Far Cry/Rainbow Six factory and actually bring back some of the stuff that made them popular to begin with.

Just played an incredible game, full of variety and depth called Dino Running from a Furry... Ok I'm lying. It's a bad asset flip with nothing good going for it. Even the music is weirdly unfitting. It was free and the title made me laugh, but after 30 minutes (achievements) I deleted it.

We just got back from an excellent show. Hard to categorise it. It's a "musical" about Henry VIII six wives...but it doesn't have a plot, just historical narrative. The easiest way to describe it is: Spice Girls + History = SIX Really catchy music though. No intermission. 80mins long.

You'd have thought they'd have tested for this kind of thing. Note to self: don't leave anything magnetic next to the steam controller puck...once I eventually get one (fuck scalpers)

Finished a game called KAKU: Ancient Seal and thought it was pretty great! Tons of content. 4 large biomes to explore. BotW style shrine puzzles. Simple, but fun combat. 30h. Performance isn't great on Steam Deck, but it's all playable where it matters. The shrine hub location runs real bad though.

If you see this, post your getaway vehicle It transforms into Michael Jackson.

🍆

Just had a YouTube sponsored ad of "Nigel Farage" promoting a pyramid scheme to make 50,000 pounds a week and telling us it's definitely not a scam 😂 Apparently Google don't give a shit about the stuff they advertise or how many people it might fuck over as long as they get some cash.

Finished a weird game called Broken Pieces. Story didn't really feel very intriguing and didn't really end up being particularly satisfying either. Strange unexplained supernatural elements that didn't really gel very well too. Exploration and puzzles were ok though and the visuals were pretty nice.

Let's see what Willy Willy tastes like

A very British second show for this weekend. It was great. Actors all nailed their roles. It was a kind of fan service greatest hits of comedy moments from the TV series loosely tied together with an original plot. Worth seeing if you have the chance.

"Roguelike" is just code for minimum content spread over maximum time.

We were out tonight to see Avenue Q. It was Mike's second time seeing it and my first time and it was SO good. We need more puppet musicals! ...Although it has made me want a puppet of myself! I feel like it could just end up being a stepping stone into a fursuit. 😂

Name your fav film that flopped. Maybe not my absolute favourite. But I still enjoy the hell out of it!

Finished a short one called Inner Chains. It was ok. Reminded me a lot of Scorn. Where the art is incredibly well realised and consistent. But the actual gameplay surrounding that art is kinda mediocre. The combat IS better than Scorn though, but that's not really saying much.

I can't get higher than 97%

Finished Robocop: Unfinished business and it was excellent. Very few games make you feel like such a badass. Just standing in the middle of the room turning a bunch of punks Into jam. Ran surprisingly well for a UE5 game on the Steam Deck too (with DLSS) aside from some horrific loading stutter.

Not in a scale I really collect, but still cool to see the Splinter Cell series get some action figure love! It's a lot more love than what Ubisoft has been giving the franchise lately...

Womp Womp lmao

How incredibly disappointing...

It's pretty well known that Robocop was heavily inspired by Judge Dredd, and the Unfinished Business DLC for the game is basically a playable version of the Dredd movie. Fighting your way up a single OCP Mega-Block. I'm only 3 chapters in but it really makes me want Teyon to make a Dredd game!

Out for a show of classical orchestral music.

Present Toys made an ok Blade 2. Soosoo Toys then made a really nice Blade 3 (but who the fuck wants a Blade 3 figure? Lol) But now Soosoo is finally making what everyone ever really wanted in the first place...a Blade 1 figure. And it looks great! Gonna have to order this one.

Finished a nice throwback Survival Horror called Them & Us. The story is hokey and the combat is janky in an OG Resident Evil kind of way. It lets you play with fixed cameras or OTS and it absolutely nails the classic RE atmosphere. Some puzzles are a bit obtuse though but otherwise it's great.

Never liked Starfox games tbh. But they should have at least made him look like the cursed SNES puppet. Lol

Duuuuude. Major classic SSX vibes! Also welcome back Acclaim!

Got a couple hours into Emily's playthrough but I'm stopping since it's basically just the exact same progression as Edward. Such a huge missed opportunity to present 2 viewpoints of the same events. I assumed that's what it would be, but no...It's just a character swap.

Finished Alone in the Dark (2024) tonight, and it was ok. It looks nice and has a good atmosphere. The singular house location broken up with dream sequences keeps it varied but it REALLY fails at being scary. I'll probably play through as Emily to see the differences. Even if they're minor.

Is there some kind of rule that all Space Hulk games have to be insanely difficult? Started this tonight and barely got through the first level on EASY! 😂

I don't understand how this could even happen but I sure as shit hope it doesn't! Just let GameStop fade away into obscurity without taking eBay down with it, please.

After 140 hours I finally finished Rogue Trader and it was excellent! Do I wish it was all voice acted? Yes. But otherwise this is about as close to Divinity/Baldur's Gate 3 as you can get. Combat is fun. Lore and story is good. All well written. Looks nice and plays well on the Steam Deck.

Some pics for FCF

...In, out, shake it all about...

And finally a KO Schwarzette from Witch from Mercury. Most of the kits from this line that I built were kinda jank tbh. Loose joints galore. But this one is pretty good. Hoofed feet and all.

This was another. A KO GQuuuuuuuuuX Guncannon in a variant colourway. Surprisingly robust for a gundam kit, let alone a KO... But the articulation especially around the hips is super limited. Also the style of this new stuff is fugly as hell imo!

I've been building some smaller kits lately. Heres one of them: Number 57 Manhunter: Ground Armor Posing is kinda limited since he's a stocky fella. But the build was fun. He's solid and the plastic is good quality...plus he looks like a mecha Blastoise.
