Really would like to play more Monster Hunter Tri on the Wii. Only played it very briefly. Also want to grab Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate for the Switch. It goes on sale for quite cheap these days.
Really enjoying Echoes of Wisdom. I've completed the first 2 major area's so far. Playing this reminds me how long it's been since the last top down Zelda game. If I recall correctly that was Link between Worlds on the 3DS way back in 2013. The grand 3D zelda's are great fun, but there's something magical about these more compact adventures. The brevity of it all seems to alleviate it even further, where the whole thing just tightly slots together. Cutscenes don't take a second longer than they need to be, animation is succint and clearly readable and the whole thing isn't ashamed to just be a videogame.
The inclusion of fast travel points is definitely a concession to the modern age and younger gamers, but with a world so compact and wonderfully realised, I don't see why you'd ever want to use them.
That would have been Monster Hunter Tri, and I more or less had the same thing happen to me. I got ambushed by a monster while I was exploring, and then got fed up with the game and took it back to GameStop to sell it.
A couple years later when that first big Wii u drought hit. I ended up buying the Ultimate version for the Wii U, and finally figured out how to play the game. Glad I gave it that second chance. Turned into one of my favorite series of the past 10 years.

Tri was my entry point into the series as well. It's sad that the underwater battling hasn't made a return. It brought something unique to the gameplay and allowed for some interesting monster designs.

I first tried Monster Hunter with the first game on the PS2. Rented it and tried it out. Was entirely perplexed by it and only briefly played it before returning it. Didn’t try the franchise out again until Tri on the Wii but World was where everything clicked for me and hooked me on the franchise.
It's still possible the carbon monoxide escaped, but that being said, I do agree it's kind of weird. Plus, one they've now said that only one of the dogs died. Apparently there were some others.

People do some crazy shit due to carbon monoxide poisoning. I've read stories of people who can't account for hours of their lives.
I got to admit, I knew there was going to be a lot of weird shit going on this year. But a murder mystery around Gene Hackman was not on my bingo card.
Read in my national news article that the maintenance worker who discovered their bodies found the home’s front door ajar but no signs of forced entry. Gene was found in the kitchen and Arakawa and the dog were found in the bathroom with pills from a prescription bottle scattered on the counter. Both appeared to have fallen suddenly to the floor but neither showed signs of blunt force trauma.

Sad to see Monolith go. They had mostly great games in their history:
Shame about Monolith. I really enjoyed the F.E.A.R. and Condemned games. Was interested in seeing how Wonder Woman game might have turned out.

R.I..P. Gene Hackman. I most remember him from The French Connection and Unforgiven.

Even if you die a thousand times the game doesn't offer you any accessibility options.
Edit: did it. Once you realise that there are two moving saws at different speeds it's not bad.
R.I.P, Gene Hackman. He will always be my Lex Luthor.
No carbon monoxide detected.

Could be bad food poisoning and they fed one dog a piece of something.

To be honest I don’t think I’ve ever used it yet. I’ll have to try it later on to let you know.
