I finally got bored of waiting for the much promised Switch version. Got it for a little over £5 on GoG.

Mario + Rabbids = Kingdom Battle. This game is good. Is it the best game released this year? No, but it achieves what it sets out to do, and gave me exactly what I wanted; an lighter take on the XCOM type game with Mario and Luigi and cosplaying Rabbids. That's not to say its a walk in the park. The difficulty is there, with the later worlds demanding you fiddling with your squad to find the best pairings, and actual planning in the way in which you move your characters around the um..boards? Honestly, I think you owe it to yourself to play this game if you've got a Switch. As well as Nintendo has done stocking that thing up with Indie titles, this remains of the one of the better 'big budget' games on the system. It's got some truly memorable moments (Moustache) and looks pretty nice on the Switch itself. Will it make my top 5? I doubt it, but it's a game I'd happily return to if they release some more story DLC for it (Yoshi's Island anyone?).

I had no history with the Rabbids so maybe I'm speaking out of place here but I thought they were fine. They even made me chuckle at times.

Aaaaaaaand it's gone. They turned it off. Apparently it was a bug or something.

Dad Bods?

It's 2017 and we're still doing the Apple fan vs Non Apple fan thing. Come on guys.

Knowing Nintendo, probably anything above an hour. Either way. It's not going to get any better, so I'll be sending it in at some point.

So I've been looking at my Switch screen some more. I'm not actually convinced that the screen is coming up as much as I am that the Switch itself is warped a little. When I lay it flat on a table the corner I've been having screen issues with moves when I apply pressure to it; none of the others do. At first I thought the glue was warming up and softening, but maybe I was just unlucky and got a less that straight dock............... Probably going to hold off until I've finished Mario + Rabbids and then send it in before Odyssey hits. Fingers crossed I keep my saves as I'd love to take a look at the 2nd Zelda DLC without having to put another 70 hours into the base game first.

So maybe this has been asked before, but is anyone planning on waiting for the PC release? I wasn't planning on picking it up at all, but I think I may be able to fit a tiny amount of Destiny into my life before it...all...goes...mental... in a few months, and that's all the excuse I need. PC seems to be the way to go but I thought I'd gauge the temperature in here before taking the plunge.

I miss playing games with my brothers. They rarely play games any more, and when they do its on a console I don't own/plan on owning, but I've got some truly fantastic memories of playing with them as a kid.

It struck me like the finale's of old; lots of plotting and setting up what's to come. And as someone who's a fan of watching people talk, I was okay with that. I'm pleased that the big plan to get Cersei on side failed; it was way too stupid to work and I'm glad we finally found that out. The Jaime threat was an odd one. I understand they need to get him on team #notcersei but it felt rushed and ill planned. And the Jon thing was...well I'm not sure who didn't work that one out a year ago.

Given that it's a mainline Mario title, is it not safe to assume that come October, the two exclusives will be available and thus, does it not make sense to go out and buy one yesterday?

Has Been Heroes is the latest game from the Trine people I believe. Unfortunately I absolutely hate that style of game, so there's no chance I'd be even try it.

So I've noticed that the screen on my Switch is ever so slightly coming up and out of the unit itself. It's only minor at the moment but if it gets any worse I'll likely send the entire thing off for a repair. Annoying for sure.

I grabbed one of these for my birthday in March 2016. I finally had to change the batteries two weeks ago. I love the thing. You've made a great purchase. Have a cookie.

I've heard Overcooked is fantastic if you're looking for co-op multiplayer fun. Me and my partner recently played through Until Dawn as well, although not sure if that'd still be available via PS+?

I just finished the latest game by the Thomas Was Alone and Volume devs: Subsurface Circular. It's a text-adventurish looking thing where you play as a 'tek' detective who's trying his damnedest to crack a case about a series of missing 'teks'. It's a fairly simple game where you ask questions to various people on the city's subway network. Eventually you'll discover important details that are relevant to the case and then you'll be asked to interview some more 'teks', rinse and repeat until the games conclusion. And what a conclusion that is. It's cheap, it's short and it's got a really interesting take on the story it's trying to tell. I say take a look.

I still think its fair to pick apart the decisions made by these characters, the writers and the show runners. Last episode was fun, but christ on a bike was it stupid. Stupid and fun is fine I guess, I just thought this show was above all that.

Hopefully this becomes the game I wanted Planet Coaster to be.

That's Daniuel thank you very much.
