I started Fallout 4 today.

So many updates to games this week. TF2, FFXV, Zelda. Zelda on Friday, time to jump back in.

Indeed. Also the Necromancer class has been added to Diablo III today as well. This isn't helping me make any headway on my backlog at all.

I'm already greatly enjoying my SNES Classic aka my Raspberry Pi.  Of course it doesn't have Star Fox 2, but I don't start Star Fox 1 or any other game in the series. Plus people dress up as him and I hate furries, so the game can rot for all I care.

Furries need love too.

Nintendo is really pushing ARMS.  I've never seen this level of adverts for a Nintendo game online.  Must.  Resist!

ARMS is now the 10th best selling game (excluding accessories, etc.) on Amazon US for all of 2017:

3. Horizon

4. Breath of the Wild (Wii U)

5. Kingdom Hearts HD

6. Resident Evil 7 (PS4)

9. Wildlands (PS4)

10. ARMS

Dead or Alive Xtreme Sense Will Let Players Smell Girls And Get Splashed In “Sense VR”

Just look at that girl's judgemental smile

We all  know what you're thinking right now, you pervert.

And so the matrix is one step closer to reality, after which the only way mankind will survive if is these sense pods will also somehow be able to capture and transport sperm from one pod to another.

Ok, I will admit. VR just got legitimate.

Do we know when the Snes classic goes on sale in the usa? I want one of these fuckin' things. Even though you can pretty much download every one of those games on the Wii U minus Star Fox 2 (which I'm sure will become available to download on the Switch next year at some point) the Snes was just awesome and I want a fucking mini.

The SNES Classic Mini pre-orders have run dry

Guide Best ARMS Characters: Abilities,  Strengths And Strategies

Fuuuuuuuu

Some stuff I didn't even know about after playing for ages.

• Spring Man’s first ability is the one you’re most likely to make use of, in that it deflects any punches coming his way. To activate this ability all you have to do is charge your punches. For a brief time after you charge, you’ll see Spring Man is enveloped by a swirling blue energy. While this energy surrounds Spring Man any punches that attempt to make contact will fall flat

​I knew about the ability but didn't realise there was a visual indicator for it as I couldn't make that work before.

• By holding the dash and jump buttons together, Mechanica can hover in mid-air for a brief amount of time. While hovering Mechanica has complete freedom of movement, including the ability to abruptly change direction mid-flight. Use this to trick your opponent into throwing punches the wrong way before switching direction on them and making them eat a counter.

​I do this just by holding jump, but you have complete freedom of movement? Need to try that. I know you can dash in any direction, maybe it means that?

• Jumping off of Barq not only gives you a boost, but also sends out a small shockwave of blue energy that will deflect any attack

​I've jumped off barq multiple times but I didn't know about the shockwave effect.

• Helix is one of the most technically demanding characters in ARMS, and his abilities reflect that. His first ability allows him to stretch his body vertically and sway back and forth to dodge attacks that would otherwise require a dash or jump.

​They forget to mention that doing this instantly and permanently charges all punches you throw when in this state.

Since the Switch update it notifies me when a friend is online and I'm like:

I go to my profile to see who is online and what they are playing.

When I spot someone playing Arms.

Then when go back to playing Arms and see they've either just logged off or aren't playing online my face....

Yeah, not being able to see if they're playing online or not really sucks.  Relegating that to some app we have yet to see is retarded.  Even more so because the app won't be coming to Winphones.

It's a bit like playing any other online game, I seem to log on just as they are coming off or vice versa.
