It took me over 200 games to actually start building and then about 50 more before I was fast enough to effectively use it in fights. Especially when you’re ambushed or shot in the back, building a quick wall is often the difference between life and death. It also took me a while to actually try it because I felt it…

God, that reminds me I’ve still got ZombiU, Star Fox, Pimkin 3, Rayman, Donky Kong TF, Guacamelee, and Super Metroid waiting on my Wii U. 

All A-Board: What am I playing on the table this weekend?

Well once again I am preparing for a D&D 5e session - thankfully, the help from Demons last time helped me and I don’t have much need to prep. Well, MUCH. Tonight, they go into the Quiet Forest to discover what has gone wrong in the heart of the forest. But…

That was definitely my experience. I beat the game once almost twice (wanting to see a different path) but I got stuck on a mission with Star Wolf, and just moved on to other games. I just hope Star Fox doesn’t get dropped for a while due to Zero’s reputation -it honestly improved on the formula of 64 (which, while…

Congratulations on joining the party! No need for additional joycons for snipperclips. Just go to controller options, repair, and then pair each individual joycon you have as a separate controller. Voila, you can now play two player! (The game itself also prompts this screen I believe, so you might not need to follow…

FE Warriors is actually a Musou game, like Hyrule Warriors, but a large part of what makes it enjoyable is going to be your existing familiarity with most of the cast, so that’s understandable.

Gerudo was Number 3 for me as well, but Goron was 2. That was super challenging though. The Rito region was my final one, and I don’t think it was just my high level of hearts and stamina that made it feel easy; I think it’s probably the easiest of the four.

Interesting, as Gerudo was Number 3 for me - the Goron Beast seemed to be the most daunting, as it required special power/equipment just to start the path to it.

I have to wait for my Special Edition to arrive (hopefully tomorrow) but I plan on putting as much time into Xenoblade Chronicles 2 as my schedule allows once it does. Still maintaining my Pocket Camp (decorating for the winter holidays with some sweet, sweet candy canes) and my other usual nonsense, but when I’m not…

The great thing about the Switch is it depends on your taste. BotW, Mario Kart, Splatoon, and Mario Odyssey are the only “general” recommendations I’d make, but depending on what you like, Arms, Xenoblade Chronicles 2, Fire Emblem Warriors, and others come to mind as well.

Not much time for long-form posting right now - you know work is whelming when you wish that Friday hadn’t come so soon...

You don’t need 4 joycons for Snipperclips. I played the demo with two joycons.

As open as BotW is, it still had a gently suggested course, and I think it generally winds up with Gerudo as the last Divine Beast region.

So I haven’t finished Zelda (I’m on the last Divine Beast, which, for me, is in Gerudo), and I’m maybe two thirds of the way through Wolfenstein II, but this week got devoured by Skyrim on the Switch. I already played through the game once before, and I even put in maybe twenty more hours when it came out on PS4, but…

I DID IT! I got a Victory Royale in Fortnite Battle Royale (Solo).
It came with a dose of good luck but after ending second twice, I’ll happily take it. The lead-up to it was actually where I feel I did best, finally being proficient enough at building to quickly set-up a 2x1 fort with stairs, 3 floors high when the…

What Have You Finished This Week?

Salutations~!

I’ve finally dipped (DIPPED) my toes into Breath of the Wild while finishing Pokemon Moon. For Zelda, I’ve tried my utmost to avoid spoilers, to the point that I think I might have watched perhaps one 2 minute trailer before going in, and honestly I think it’s paid off. This game is constantly and beautifully…

When I’m not preparing Thanksgiving dinner (starting with The Brining tonight), serving Thanksgiving dinner, cleaning up after Thanksgiving dinner, or redecorating the house for Christmas, I’ll be playing Pokemon Ultra Sun, my first foray to the Alola region. I snatched up the Steelbook dual edition last Thursday so…

I both love and fear this weekend - Thanksgiving is always a good time to eat with family and enjoy the bustle of a dozen conversations on wide varieties of topics. I’m going to take a couple of board games (like Pandemic and six-player Settlers of Catan, just in case, but our family doesn’t usually get into them…
