Why would Octoath Traveller be de-listed from E-shop and then brought back a month later???

Inappropriate content in the original? Song licensing issue?  Weird...

I saw an article saying it was because Nintendo was the OG publisher but now rights have gone back to Square Enix.

But the developer Acquire was bought by a different company shortly before it was delisted.

Fallout TV Series Officially Renewed for Season 2 on Prime Video

Just a week after its premiere, Prime Video has officially renewed Fallout for a second season, the streaming platform announced today.


Prime lists it as its number one ranked show which is all well and good, but I think a bigger indicator of its success is that Google has it ranked as the most searched TV show right now. So clearly there is a lot of interest in it. I suspect this will end up being Prime's biggest TV series, more so than their Lord of the rings prequel.

Snowrunners really good so far.

It's like GTA except you drive about fixing things and recovering cargo and trucks. It's a fairly massive leap over Mudrunner, they went all out with this. I suspect I'll be playing this for a while, given 4 years of dlc on top.

I have a nostalgia for Mudrunner though, it seems simplistic vs Snowrunner but that was part of its charm, the way it just dropped you into the wilderness and let you figure it out.

As for Saber Interactive, I've become a bit of fan of their ports. I believe this is their own developed game, but they've done The excellent Crysis 2 and 3 remastered Switch ports as well as Mud and Snowrunner. And even The Witcher 3 switch version. I put off buying Witcher 3 as it always looked too blurry, but I didn't realise they released a patch 4 years enabling sharpening and the ability to switch off AA.

If I use Mclassic on top of that it should look decent, if Mud and Snowrunner are any indication. Saber is the open world equivalent of Panic Button in terms of Switch ports.

Aspro, just listened to the new GU podcast. I noticed you're using a new streaming platform and for me the quality seems worse. I always listen while driving and a lot of words got chopped off, probably due to bandwith issues. Never had that happen before though.

Yeah truly sorry about that. It was limited to the last show as I was at the holiday house with bad bandwidth using linux laptop, won't happen again. Recording next show on Monday in usual setup.

I watched the first episode last night and it was good, not like great, but I'll stick with it.  I realise now I am of the age where I see an old actor like Kyle Mcloughlin (or whatever his name is from Twin Peaks) and go "Ah that's that guy from that show 30 years ago" which is what my parents and aunts and uncles did when watching Airplane and similar movies.  Getting old sucks.

That's basically how I feel about the show after three episodes. It's good. Good enough to keep watching, but not so good that I feel compulsed to immediately watch another episode after I finish one.

I've been lurking a lot lately. Work is taking its toll and I just don't feel motivated to post because I'm mentally checked out when I get home.  I'm hoping that will change soon.

Sorry to hear it man. Hopefully things will get better in another month or so when you get a break.

Okay, quick update on the Fallout TV show. Episode 4 is the game changer apparently. Once episode 4 hits it goes from a good show to "I need to watch the episode and find out what happens now!"

Hopefully it's just fatigue man. I have plenty of that right now.  At least you are going into warm weather, I'm going into Fall/ Winter down here which always bums me out (less sunlight hours).

I hope summer weather gets here fast. Spring allergies have been really messing me up.

Well then, I'm at episode 3 and so far it's great. Really makes me want a new fallout. Fallout game sales are skyrocketing everywhere. They knocked this one out of the park

allergies have never really been a problem for me up until this year. I don't know what the hell is in the air this year, but I've been miserable this spring.
