Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (11th April)

Finally beat the campaign in Star Wars Battlefront: Elite Squadron for the DS the other day, so now I'm trying to decide what to focus on next. Do I get drawn in by Drawn to Life, or do I throw a block party in Lego Battles? Decisions decisions.

I'm currently high and playing Digimon Racing before breakfast and bed time.

Have a great weekend, folks.

Greetings.

I'm spending some time before breakfast, and soon after bedtime, playing Star Wars Battlefront: Elite Squadron for the DS and watching Transformers: Generation 1.

I was playing FireRed, spending more time trying to decide my final team, and this is all because I accidentally let Ivysaur evolve, so it's been boxed.

At some point, probably Sunday, I'll be playing Rune Factory 3 for the DS while my wife plays Story of Seasons Pioneers of Olive Town on the Switch.

Today is a reading day for the two of us; I'm reading through the Star Wars Republic Commando series, one I haven't read since I was a teen and has been waiting on my bookshelf for decades, and my wife is reading 11/22/63 for the first time.

Have a great weekend, everybody.

Greetings, Gamers!!

During the Moon's time during the AM hours, I was playing Pokemon FireRed with a desire to play Sonic Forces, but I passed out before I could switch games.

During the current daytime, I'm playing Paper Mario TTYD. The music on Ms. Bosom's stage bothers my ears and plays with the fact I suffer from both visual and auditory hallucinations, so I'm taking advantage of being able to have tv low volume but my computer turned up loud (watching Rogerbase play ToTK).

If my wife wants the Switch today or tomorrow, as we normally farm together; me in Rune Factory 3 and her in Pioneers of Olive Town, I'll be playing more Tiny Toon Adventures: Babs' Big Break for the Gameboy, or Wipeout 2 on the DS. She's in the middle of reading 11/22/63, so she most likely won't be taking the Switch.

Outside of gaming, although still kinda related for how much it plays with the mind and eyes, is the 3D Dragon Ball Z puzzle we've been working on since the beginning of the year. We're about 70 percent done, but it is hard to look at for extended periods.

Take care, folks!

Just traded in a few games and picked up Breath of the Wild, Paper Mario Thousand Year Door, and Sonic Forces.

So far I've given Sonic Forces a whirl, and I must say it's quickly working its way up the ladder towards my Top 5 Sonic games. I went with the bear as I thought it would be fun to recreate Smokey the Bear if possible, but then I realised you give your avatar shirts and not pants, so he's a more risque with his forest fire fighting.

During the dark hours of the night, I'll be going green and playing Paper Mario. Never beat it back in the day, so I'm looking forward to playing it again after all these years.

Have a great weekend, folks.

It's 6am and I'm playing FireRed on the Switch. Will be tackling the Colour Dungeon in Link's Awakening DX later today, and my wife suggested we play Mario Kart 8 at some point.

Outside of videogame playing, I'll be playing in the world of Imagination as I'm finally gonna start the Thrawn books. Or the Court of Owls Saga.

Never was able to score a Gameboy Player back in the day, so I'm living the dream now with FireRed on the Switch.

Besides reliving my youth in Kanto (hopefully with different 'Mons on my team), I'm helping the Wind Fish out of a bind with Link's Awakening for my green Gameboy Pocket, doing a bunch of fishing in Rune Factory 3 for the DS, and I might get all topsy turvy with Yoshi for the GBA.

Have a good one, folks.

Re: Poll: What's Your Favourite Gen 9 Pokémon?

Raccoonius

Kingambit. Bisharp is one of my favourite Pokemon, so seeing it get an evolution is pretty sweet. George Lucas might even toss the word "poetry" at it, considering Gen 5 and Gen 9 are my least favourite, and my favourite Pokemon from those regions are Bisharp and it's evolution, respectively.

Re: Anniversary: The Legend Of Zelda Turns 40 Today - How Did You First Play It?

Raccoonius

Link's Awakening was my first experience with The Legend of Zelda back in 1995. Little five year old me, watching as my family was tearing itself apart, and here comes this little elf looking boy, fighting monsters without a word being said. Made me feel like it was ok not to talk. I sought peace and safety on Koholint Island. I didn't get very far back then, I think about a quarter of the way through, but it got me through the worst time of my life.

Now, with a new copy slapped in my green Gameboy Pocket, I'm finishing the journey I started 31 years ago.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (21st February)

Raccoonius

@JohnnyMind Thanks. I remember I had Link's Awakening back in 1995, but I never got to finish the game before I lost it. It's neat to be back at it, 31 years later, and I'm enjoying it so far. Reminds me of back then, but not enough to spoil it for myself by my past self (don't really remember much, so it's like a blind playthrough).

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (21st February)

I ordered a couple Gameboy/GBA games for my birthday (today), so they're my focus this weekend. At this very moment, I'm playing Mario Picross in the NSO SNES because I don't want to pass out and drop my Gameboy on the floor.

The games I ordered:

Link's Awakening DX (GB)

Tiny Toon Adventures Babs' Big Break (GB)

Justice League Heroes: The Flash (GBA)

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (24th January)

I've been meaning to play more Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Explorers of Time, and I want to finally get started on Drawn to Life. I want to play it, I really do, I just keep putting different games into my DS.

Outside of Nintendo, I'm currently evaluating my PS4 Library and whether I want to trade-in for a Wii U or something retro, so I'll probably jump into RDR2 so I can think and explore. Might play some more Destroy All Humans and/or start the Karl Marx missions in AC Syndicate.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (17th January)

Raccoonius

Just got Tom and Jerry in Infurnal Escape for the GBA, so that's my focus. Might play some Drawn to Life at some point.

Outside handheld, I've been meaning to play Mario Party Jamboree while high. Or 200cc Mario Kart. Still need to 3 Star each Cup in 200cc, and the only one I've done I got Second Place thanks to an unfortunate Blue Shell on the last corner of the snack track.

Oh I forgot to mention my wife wants to play more Story of Seasons Pioneers of Olive Town, so I'll be on PS4 while she plays the Switch version. And I'm gonna play more Destroy All Humans on PS4 (bought it same day as Tom and Jerry).

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (23rd August)

Raccoonius

I'm currently playing Mario Party DS at this moment, but I would like to play more Lego Battles on the DS. I didn't know it was a game until earlier this year, but it's been pretty fun so far. Might finally play Drawn to Life and/or more Transformers War for Cybertron - Decepticons.

So basically it's a DS weekend!

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (5th July)

Raccoonius

Outside of my Playstation gaming (HZD, Naughty Bear, and/or Sims 3), I wanna try and relax with my DS. Was playing more Wipeout 2 last night, but I've been meaning to play more Transformers: War for Cybertron - Decepticons, so that's what I'm gonna do. I also have one more world in Galactic Tax Ball to finish until I beat the game, so I'll get that done too to make it the 15th game beat this year.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (28th June)

Raccoonius

Did six 200cc races in Mario Kart 8 while high as a kite earlier, was generally surprised I won 4 outta 6 considering I'm normally trash at 200cc.

I keep meaning to play more of my DS, specifically Mario Party DS and Pokemon Trozei!, so I'm gonna try to actually do that today. Got laundry, putting my wife's desk together, and quesadilla making to do today, plus I wanna play more HZD so guess I'll see.

Re: Split Fiction Movie Adaptation Reportedly Casts Sydney Sweeney

@Spider-Kev I'm on mobile and I'm looking right at the Game Profile, where has "Also Available For: PS5, Xbox Series X/S".

And when I switched to desktop, the Game Profile is on the right side of the article near the top. So either way, the info you needed was already there available. Open your eyes next time.
