That's good news, @Zuljaras....

@Zuljaras Glad you're ok

@Eel @BruceCM @HotGoomba___Rebrand
Thank you!

To celebrate I oredered Vampyr and FF7 + FF8 Twin pack for the Switch. Yeah I love to find excuses to order more games I want!

Didn't know you needed excuses for that, @Zuljaras... Have you played any of those before?

@Zuljaras I've been there, I bought myself Wipeout 3 for the Wii because I woke up.

I already owned it on the Wii U.

@BruceCM Have not played those. And I need to make excuses with the amount of games I order No self control at all! And I have 4 more games coming from LRG, FFX from play-asia and Wallachia from PixelHeart.

And there are many more that I want to have in my Switch collection

After playing several hours of Sly 2 from PS3 version, it made me want to play Sly Cooper Thieves in Time PS3 so eagerly as it has very beautiful environment with HD cell shading style characters. 😲
But i have to wait until February 2021 as i will get XBOX 360 USA with the games ASAP on this late December 2020.

Anyway, i felt bad to see Bentley can't walk after his leg got crushed by giant statue at the end of Sly 2 storyline from Sly 3 opening scene. 😔
Even though they are thieves gang but i thought they were more like Robin Hood gang or good thieves.
The assignment of Sly as the thief with Inspector Carmelita Fox as the police remind me of Carmen San Diego.

Which do you think you'll play 1st, @Zuljaras....? They're all good games

@HotGoomba___Rebrand
I broke my purchase record on this month by purchased 11 games in total (10 games last week, 1 game last Friday).
I have never purchased more than 6 games in a row before.

@BruceCM I will probably try Vampyr as I love vampire lore.

I also want to get Immortals, Pokemon SS + Expansion Pass but those have to wait.

@Anti-Matter Wow, those will take a while to finish.

@HotGoomba___Rebrand
From 11 games i bought, 1 game is very short (Pocket Fighter), 1 game quickly unlocked 100% by having the next version game (DDR Hottest Party 3, quickly unlocked by having DDR 2010 Wii disc to unlock all things on DDR Hottest Party 3 save data), 2 games are still pending (XBOX 360 Kinect games as i don't have XBOX 360 machine yet), the other games are still in progress.

@Zuljaras Good to hear that you are ok now.

@Heavyarms55 Decent shinies! Shame that the Eevee doesn't have better stats, but maybe you can keep it for lucky trade fodder? Unless you want to keep it for some reason. I did get out for Cday for about an hour today, though the weather wasn't amazing. Most of the rain rolled through overnight, but it was misting a bit when I headed back to my car. Temps were in the lower 40s, but with cloud cover and 10-15 mph winds....Brrr. Ironically, I found all the Cday shinies except Gastly (I have plenty) and Piplup, who I was actually looking for lol. I did get a lucky trade out of the way, so now I'm the proud owner of a shiny Tauros. I don't know how many of those I've caught looking for one....

@Anti-Matter While I get some enjoyment from watching The Game Awards, the show increasingly seems like it's more flair and less substance. I'm mainly in it for the game announcements, but I was so unimpressed by it all this year (To be fair, this is a meh year for about everything) that I'll probably just catch any news after the fact next year.

@MarioLover92 I'll likely give some of the newer MM platformers a look eventually; I recognize it's a decent series, but to me, challenge =/= cheap enemy placement lol. From what little I do recall of the Mega Man Zero game I played, it was pretty difficult; I think my cousin let me play it just to see if I could get him past a certain point lol. I don't remember the results. I think I'd like the Legends series since they're more of an adventure game format. It wouldn't surprise me if there's still a ROM or build of Legends 3 floating around at Capcom somewhere....I'd love to play it, even if it's unfinished. It can't be any worse than E.T. on the Atari 2600. I have played that via emulator, if "played" is the right description....

@Zuljaras Glad that you and your family are back to 100%! And yes, while you don't need an excuse to buy games, I'd say surviving that mess qualifies.

@ThanosReXXX I'm not intentionally trying to make Dubious Food, it just seems to...happen on occasion. XD Mostly from the couple of times I've tried cooking monster parts to see if they'd help make something edible. They seem strictly for elixirs so far. Funny that you mention spicy food - I just found more peppers during my session earlier. I'm rotating between several games today, but I hope to fit in a healthy BotW session later this evening. I suspect I'll be spending a LOT of time with this game. Good thing it's winter!

Fishing, huh? I suppose there's a rod out there somewhere, and a few other unique/improvised ways to catch fish. Other than stealing them off enemies and being within grabbing range when in a body of water, no other fishing methods have directly presented themselves yet.

That's a pretty good game, overall, @Zuljaras ... Do let us know how you get on with it!

@Eel Ha, that's a funny cartoon. I'll be sure to check the channel now, to look at the rest of them. Cartoons made my a Dutch guy, posted by someone living halfway across the world. Waddaya know, huh?

@Zuljaras Ah, good to hear you've been able to pull through. In my family, there's a suspicion that some of us had it as well, but only ever mild complaints. My sister and her husband have actually been in quarantine, just to make sure they weren't going to infect anyone else.

@Tyranexx Oh, mind you, it was not me accusing you of intentionally making bad food, I just meant to say that whenever you make something from monster parts and that is the outcome, you might just as well chuck it, to make room for more useful stuff. Guess I should have been a bit more clear about that.

As for 10 ways to catch fish: you'll find out soon enough. You'll find out. I'll semi-point you in the right direction for two of them: something with a bow, and something with herding in shallow waters...

@ThanosReXXX Yes we all were under quarantine for 14 days.

I do not how the quarantine works in your country but here it is issued by the government and they even check if we are at home with inspections

I missed if that's in BotW, @Tyranexx .... But I ended up with 'dubious food' a few times in that game, so I guess so? Mostly when I was rather randomly mixing ingredients but that's half the fun of cooking!

@Zuljaras Yeah, same here. Although indirectly: it is issued by the government, but it's controlled by medical facilities/instances, such as your own doctor or the hospital where you got tested.

@Tyranexx Tauros is a great one! Very nice! I had pretty good results yesterday. I got the 3 I needed, Gastly, Rhyhorn and the one I wanted the most, Piplup. Also got a comical amount of shiny weedle to add to the silly amount I already had, and back to back shiny abra (again, didn't need them but still shiny!). No shiny seedot oddly enough, but that's fine because I have plenty.

Probably not gonna bother much with the event today though, I have the shinys featured today. Though I probably will throw an incense up while I watch my anime in a bit.
