    Winter Anime 2021

    I look forward to this show more and more every week. It's a dark horse AOTS candidate. --- SK?????? feels like it's going to have a pretty exciting finish. I think there are only 3 more episodes to go. I really want to see ADAM get what's coming to him

    Finished High-rise Invasion last night. I was a bit disappointed by the way they ended it. I guess there's going to be another season eventually..? Don't leave me hanging like that though

    [21/03/01] Totally Weekly Gaming Thread

    I put a few hours into OlliOlli last week, grabbed it when the Switch version was on sale. It's still fun but doesn't hold my attention very long I guess. I've been wanting to find a new game to play but I also don't want to spend much money. Time to take another look at the eShop now...

    At least it will be a beautiful recap episode. Not really looking forward to watching a recap episode though

    I watched 3 episodes of High-rise Invasion. It's... interesting so far. Guess I wasn't expecting quite this much blood and gore. Good thing I waited until late to watch!

    Horimiya #8 Lots of major moments in this episode. Please just give me more of this every week! But also find a way to work Hori's dad into too.

    Wonder Egg Priority is so weird and good. I like it more every week. I've said it already, but it's so pretty. Just a beautiful show to look at. Real heavy subject matter though

    Spring Anime 2021

    Feels a little early to be looking ahead! For sure I'll be watching Fruits Basket. Other things I'll check out: - Iruma-kun: The first season was pretty amusing - SSSS.DYNAZENON: The one last summer (SSSS.GRIDMAN) was OK, might as well check it out - Super Cub: The humble Honda Super Cub is one of the coolest rides ever Could be a fun slice of life - TWEWY I'll also have to take a closer look at the other anime originals as spring approaches. Always in search of the holy grail.

    I'll be happy to see a last minute, surprise announcement of one more (longer format) episode / special / movie for the finale. I don't really want to have to wait multiple weeks in that scenario to see the ending animated, but if we see the story's ending in the anime before the manga then that would be a bigger letdown. Kinda weird how this is playing out, but I'm sure it's all been planned out between Isayama and his publisher and the anime people... Wait and see, I guess!

    Winter Anime 2021

    Unlike Promised Neverland, which has taken a bit of a bad turn recently IMO, I mostly like the direction that Isayama has taken for SnK... I guess I'll spoiler this just to be safe... * * * Just read chapter 137, didn't realize it released a couple weeks ago... feels like we're very close to the end now! 137 would be the 3rd chapter of the next (final?) volume. The majority of the volumes have 4 chapters, so it feels like chapter 138 should be the final one. By the time 138 releases, the anime will be nearing the final episodes as well.

    [21/01/10] Totally Weekly Gaming Thread

    I gave up on Transistor. Really wasn't enjoying the gameplay, it didn't grow on me and I definitely didn't get better at it I feel like playing something else, maybe a small-ish RPG, but nothing on sale on the eShop is inspiring me right now... Might have to look at full priced games (no big name / big $$$ titles though). Anybody got any suggestions?

    Completed Games (2021)

    1) Taiko??? no Tatsujin Rhythmic Adventure Pack #1 2) Final ?Fantasy?? ???V 3) Chasm 4) Cosmic Star Heroine 5) Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker I have been playing this game on and off, a level here and a level there, for like 2 years Finally polished it off today. It was OK. Fun in short bursts, but once I've completed a level or two I lose interest pretty quickly. Definitely not something I will replay. My daughter hasn't picked it up in forever either. I'll probably just take whatever trade-in value the store will give me for it next time my daughter wants a new game. Don't see any point in holding onto it.

    What listen ?

    Been spinning The Flaming Lips' latest album (American Head) this week. To my ears, a lot of their output since The Soft Bulletin (which is already 22 years old this spring! ) has sounded kinda same-y. More keys and synths, less guitar, more pop oriented song stylings and less rocking (with the exception of Embyonic). My ultimate Lips lineup was in the mid '90s. Transmissions from the Satellite Heart and Clouds Taste Metallic are two of my favourite albums ever. It took me years to come around to The Soft Bulletin and the other albums since then, but even then I don't really enjoy all the songs and I still like '90s guitar-rock Lips best... But there are some pretty good songs on American Head. Gotta give it a few more listens yet to really form a final opinion.

    Nintendo General

    I like a couple of Zelda games quite a bit. Even though it's not my favourite series or anything, I don't strongly dislike it either. Zelda game announcements just don't get me excited, it's more of a and then I move along to the next headline.

    Nintendo General

    I was curious about Project Triangle Strategy for a hot minute but then I realized strategy == SRPG ( duh ) and immediately got turned off. I've tried several times to get into SRPGs but have never enjoyed one enough to actually finish the game. I love Mario Golf and Mario Tennis games, so I'd totally play Mario Golf Super Rush... but -- as much as I like these games -- I'm not willing to pay 79.99 plus tax of my hard-earned Canadian funbucks for Mario Golf or Tennis. I still haven't found a good enough deal on Mario Tennis Aces and that's been out nearly 3 years now... Knockout City sounds pretty darn fun. Doubt I'll ever get it, but I think a younger version of me would have played this a ton. Might be interested in Ninja Gaiden someday for the right price. When I saw the headline I had assumed it was a collection of the NES classics, which I like but I can't beat without save states I forgot that they made more Ninja Gaiden games later on. Were those games any good..? Zero interest in anything Zelda from me
