The Bar. A Spannish film about a group of mostly strangers who are trapped in a bar while people mysteriously die around them. The film starts great but gradually loses some interest as the mystery unfolds, it's by no means bad though and is worth a watch on the strength of the first half.

The Switch has had a few issues such as the Joycon drift, but conceptually it's great, and I play docked with a controller most of the time anyway. The library is already superb and the future is looking bright. Wish we were still getting the traditional big Direct presentation around now but I'm st...

Xenoblade Chronicles for the Switch.
Inazuma Eleven 2: Blizzard for the DS.

The analogy with smoking is a really bad one though. Second hand smoke is obviously dangerous, but it's also visible and cannot be re-transmitted throughout a community. That wasn't the point I was making. If a person smokes, they have decided they don't care about their respiratory health and the ...

What is essential anyway? The whole lockdown is a farce. Perhaps instead of saying "take care" to each other , we ought to try "take responsibility". If you don't feel confident enough to mingle with the masses, then don't. Consider your own behaviour first instead of judging others and how they cou...

New Paper Mario announced, out in July!

Extracurricular, a Korean drama series on Netflix. Really good, gripping from start to end.

Having said that, I have bust out Metroid Prime for the first time in about 10 years. The control scheme is immense; I forgot intuitive it was. I also had a quick blast on killer7, a bit of a wild ride, and very much an autuer game, it seems to deconstruct a lot of game mechanics. But the presentat...

Extraction. Pretty decent watch, very much like Man On Fire meets The Raid, so not very original but still a thrilling ride, and features a great long, single-take action scene.

Time to Hunt. Korean crime thriller. Was quite good but also nothing special.

Animal Crossing, The Touryst and Bloodstained, all on the Switch.

It puzzles me, they have had 2-3 years to buy a Switch, now all of a sudden people want one and the more idotic people are paying over the odds for it. I thought all those types of Nintendo fans already own one? They probably do, not every person buying one now is a dedicated 'Nintendo fan'. I thin...

The Touryst for the Switch.

And SMT: Devil Survivor 2 Record Breaker (digitally) and Monster Hunter Stories for the 3DS

I picked up The Touryst is the sale, had my eye on that for a while. What's the storage like on a Switch Lite? Tempted to go full digital myself if I get one but I don't want a PS4 situation where it fills up super-quick and you have to keep deleting stuff. It has 32GB internally, which is fine for ...

The direct just happened this afternoon, quite long for a 'mini' but nothing too earth shattering announced or shown. I'll probably get 5-6 games from it though. There's a Bravely Default 2 demo out today.

Enjoying Animal Crossing, trying not to rush it but it is quite addictive. Might finally make use of my online membership code, the one I got with Mario Maker 2 last year!
