  1. Trying to find the octopath demo on the eShop to no avail, Pan Pan caught my eye. which I bought. Not actually heard of it but a quick search and comparisons to Momunent Valley - but no proper reviews - convinced me it was worth giving a chance for the small asking price. Had to go to the Nintendo website to find the Octopath demo though, which is pretty rubbish. Oh, and before I went onto the eShop I installed a tempered glass protector. I'd decided against it when I bought the Switch as I'd not liked previous protectors I'd had but all the paranoia stoking stories gnawed away at me. It went on well so fingers crossed it stays looking good.
  2. I watched the Direct while on holiday and forgot there were a couple of demos I wanted to try out.
  3. I've just received news from the doctor that I have a rare form of amnesia where I deny the existence of certain 80's bands. There is no Cure.
  4. I was going to try and wait until Christmas, but I know I'll forget
  5. @danielpholt has one too. My code is 6330-2705-5621
  6. Yay, you won't regret it (I hope!) I gave you a trophy as you won't be getting them in the games.
  7. Not this. The food each US state hates the most:
  8. I watched the first season of Fringe, bought the second but never watched it. Not sure why as I enjoyed it, I think it started getting to conspiracy-laden by the end of the season? A bit like what happened with X-files - it was more enjoyable when it was just investigating one off strange phenomena so I didn't want to go down that rabbit hole. It's a distant memory though now so may give it another try. I'm watching Preacher at the moment, halfway through the first season and can't decide if I'm enjoying it or not.
  9. Is it an improvement over the pilot from a while back? I think I remember being disappointed by that as I like Peter Serafinowicz
  10. I've been looking in opticians for nearly a year for a pair I like, but I always talk my way out of them, which is why I resorted to online, once it's done, it's done and if they're not perfect at least the decision is made.
  11. I went a bit mad last night and bought 6 pairs of glasses and prescription sunglasses. My only excuse is it's the first time I've bought glasses online so all 6 were cheaper than I'd normally spend on one pair and probably at least one or two won't suit me so I've hedged my bets. Still, should probably have a bit more sense.
  12. Who won in the fight? Also, I need to give Rick and Morty another try - I couldn't get in to it when I first gave it a go but it maybe got better as it went on as I don't remember everyone being so overwhelmingly positive when it started out.
  13. PC, PS4 and Vita, February 2018. Shame it's not coming to Switch.
  14. Harvester is a chain of pub/restaurants in the UK. I assume you heard of the combine harvester farm machine made famous by the worzels
  15. I loved our Acorn Electron, chuckie egg was definitely the highlight, but I think my memories around it are what make me look back on it fondly. So I would say my favourite was probably our Amiga 500. Point and clicks were my favourite, Simon the Sorcerer, Monkey Island etc. With my brother we'd play things like New Zealand Story, cannon fodder, sensible soccer, speedball. It was ace. My first taste of console gaming was my gameboy. It had tetris in the box which if I'd never bought another game I'd've been happy. It also had Link's Awakening which my be my favourite game of all time.
  16. It's fine to bring up old threads that look interesting to you. What's Truxton about I've never heard of that one?
  17. It seemed interesting when I saw it but then just dropped off the radar. Hope they do OK with it
  18. Hello, good luck finding a switch, if you see one buy first and think later.. I hope you like it here - we're not the busiest board but we're all friendly.
  19. Got these for the switch during a rare sale, and after the news of the tumbleseed update to make it less punishingly difficult.
  20. This is why you need to jump in blindly with a launch day pre-order.
  21. I don't know why I love this so much, but I do. I first saw it years ago and downloaded it, which was lucky because it disappeared off youtube so I could still watch it every now and again. Back then it had really few views so I was very surprised when it turned up on tumblr and even more so when I clicked through to youtube to see it had 2.5M views. Mad, but it's nice to think a little bit of joy is in so many people's lives.
  22. http://ekitailullaby.tumblr.com/post/163305006418/kony2012official-withdrawnlyricist-guess-who I'm sure if you watched the whole film you'd lose your mind but this clip actually makes me want to watch a barbie movie.
  23. I've not bought any accessories for my Switch. If I needed an extra controller I'd consider a PRO, but I'm happy using the joycons slid into the grip, which some people seem not to be able to cope with.
