Well here we go with another awesome WAYP. The week was again the GOTY hunt. Trails Through Daybreak, Emio and Metaphor with some Mario and Luigi and Sonic X Shadow Generations and Black Ops 6. Yeah Sonic is back on the lineup as the new movie is coming out and I’m pretty excited. Most of the weekend was spent with Emio and Black Ops 6. Almost done with Emio and yeah it is starting to get really intriguing and I’m super excited for them to be like yeah THATS Emio. Black Ops 6 meanwhile it really is a fun game and a great story with excellent characters like Sev and Adler. Rest of the weekend I’m thinking is gonna be some YS X Nordics again tho I think we’re getting close to beating it they’re usually like 10 chapter games. Otherwise I’m thinking this week is mostly gonna consist of some Trails Through Daybreak, Emio, Dawntrail, Metaphor, Sonic X Shadow Generations, Mario and Luigi Brothership, Super Mario Party Jamboree and Visions of Mana, Zenless Zone Zero too. Did dabble in Infinity Nikki and Marvel Rivals and both were pretty excellent tho I’m definitely more a fan of Nikki. Dragon Quest 3 HD 2D Remake and Fantasian Neo Dimension still ain’t been started and honestly post Game Awards I wanna pick up Balatro and Power Rangers so hahaha good luck to me I guess with those. Speaking of The Game Awards ruled I’m very happy with Clive in Tekken and Okami 2 and the new Naughty Dog game, Split Fiction RGGs Project Century, and Onimusha from Capcom. Think it was probably Geoff’s best show yet honestly like dude seriously killed it this show. Pretty happy Astro Bot won GOTY too it seriously is a excellent game that absolutely deserves a W like that. The wrestling things this week being WWE Saturday Nights Main Event was actually kinda just meh. The matches were fine I’m happy about the first United States Women’s Champion and the Liv and Iyo match was nice but overall kinda disappointing. Maybe RAW on NETFLIX will be a Banger. Anime of the week gotta go to Dandadan and Ranma 1/2. Yeah only did two shows this week but actually both were seriously solid and quite good. Podcasts of this week gotta go to Castle Superbeast, Big Think Dimension, Into The Aether, RPGsites Tetracast, Minnmax, Jeff Gerstmann, Kit and Krysta, Last Stand Media, Easy Allies, Second Wind, Nextlander, Cultaholic Wrestling, Weapon Wheel Podcast and Remap Radio. As always yall stay safe, be awesome to each other. Have a totally amazing weekend and of course Happy Gaming.

Well here we go with another interesting WAYP. The week was mostly the GOTY hunt again. Trails Through Daybreak, Emio and Metaphor with some Mario and Luigi and Visions of Mana. But on the completing front we did finish Star Wars Outlaws and eh that sure is a game of this year that’s for sure. Love the protagonist and thought the villains were cool but otherwise just eh. Most of the weekend was spent with Emio and Tekken 8. Emio is starting to get really intriguing but at the same time it’s got a hill to climb to impress if I’m being honest. Tekken 8 on the other hand I not only beat the DLC story but got the Platinum Trophy for and absolutely loved it all that is seriously a GOTY and absolutely my fighting game of the year. And it’s got that DLC announcement at the game awards too let’s go boys. Rest of the weekend I’m thinking is gonna be some YS X Nordics again really just chipping away at it tho I’m definitely feeling meh on it as it goes on its villains are kinda weak. Otherwise I’m thinking this week is mostly gonna consist of some Trails Through Daybreak, Emio, Dawntrail, Metaphor, Sonic X Shadow Generations, Mario and Luigi Brothership, Bakeru and Visions of Mana. Maybe some Zenless Zone Zero too. There are some games I wanna dabble in like Infinity Nikki, Marvel Rivals, Dragon Quest 3 HD 2D Remake and Fantasian Neo Dimension but honestly the GOTY hunt kinda comes first I really wanna beat Metaphor for instance. The wrestling things this week being NXT Deadline is actually kinda interesting. Didn’t think it was gonna be too exciting but the Lola Vice and Jaida Parker match as well as the Women’s Iron Survivor match kinda knocked it out the park. My GOAT Giulia the Beautiful Madness winning was amazing. Next up is WWE Saturday Nights Main Event and that’s hype too. Anime of the week gotta go to Dandadan and Dragon Ball Daima and Shangri La Frontier and Yakuza Fiancé and Ron Kaminohashis Forbidden Deductions and Ranma 1/2. Still amazing shows with Dandadan being the standout one. Podcasts of this week gotta go to Castle Superbeast, Big Think Dimension, Into The Aether, RPGsites Tetracast, Minnmax, Jeff Gerstmann, Kit and Krysta, Last Stand Media, Easy Allies, Second Wind, Nextlander, Cultaholic Wrestling, Weapon Wheel Podcast and Remap Radio. Most of those actually ended up on the Spotify Wrapped this year so that’s hype. As always yall stay safe, be cool to each other. Have a totally awesome weekend and of course Happy Gaming.

Well here we go with another amazing WAYP. Been a stupidly amazing week around here. The week was mostly the games to work on for GOTY like Star Wars Outlaws, Visions of Mana, YS X, Emio and Metaphor. Most of the weekend was spent with Emio and Visions of Mana. Both games continue to knock it out the park Uce. Absolutely excellent. Rest of the weekend I’m thinking is gonna be some YS X Nordics. It also keeps knocking it out the park with excellent absolutely excellent story bits and great gameplay. Otherwise I’m thinking this week is mostly gonna consist of some Trails Through Daybreak, Emio, Dawntrail, Metaphor, Star Wars Outlaws, Visions of Mana, Tekken 8 Platinum, Lego Horizon, Zenless Zone Zero and really just anything that can get on the GOTY list. Probably vote for The Game Awards too and check out all the cool new stuff on the new phone I got this week too. Try too get a copy of Dragon Quest and Power Rangers too. The wrestling thing this week being Survivor Series WARGAMES just was absolutely amazing. The Women’s Wargames match, new US Champ Shinsuke Nakamura, and the Bloodline Men’s Wargames matches were absolutely splendid and honestly even the Gunther and Damian and Intercontinental Triple Threat match were splendid too. Anime of the week gotta go to Dandadan and Ranma 1/2. Not as many picks this week but they are absolutely two bangers no doubt there absolutely splendid. Podcasts of this week gotta go to Castle Superbeast, Big Think Dimension, Into The Aether, RPGsites Tetracast, Minnmax, Jeff Gerstmann, Kit and Krysta, Last Stand Media, Easy Allies, Second Wind, Nextlander, Cultaholic Wrestling, Weapon Wheel Podcast and Remap Radio.

Well here we are with another awesome WAYP. Been a stupidly awesome week around here. The week was mostly games like Trails Through Daybreak, Emio, Tekken 8 and Metaphor. Most of the weekend was spent with Emio and Zelda and YS X. Emio continues to be amazing and I still have no guess on who the actual criminal is. Beat Zelda and honestly the ending made me really sad but the villain of this game may be my favorite Zelda Villain? It was really really fresh and cool. And YS X continues being the sleeper GOTY hit of the year it’s so riveting. Also on the Tekken front I’m two trophies away from the Platinum so I’m gonna try to shoot for that soon. That’s GOTY contender too. Also got Lego Horizon like mentioned before and honestly that game is pleasant fun it’s nothing insane but it’s really quite cute and fun. Rest of the weekend I’m thinking is gonna be some Metaphor or Star Wars Outlaws I’m really undecided maybe even Visions of Mana can get a solid shot if it wants because on one hand I wanna beat Metaphor before TGA but the other two have been sitting around for months. Speaking of TGA those nominations eh? I’m rooting for Astro Bot, FFVII Rebirth and Metaphor Refantazio if any of them win I’m happy. Otherwise I’m thinking this week is mostly gonna consist of some Trails Through Daybreak, Emio, Dawntrail, Metaphor, Tekken 8 Plat, Star Wars Outlaws, Visions of Mana, Super Mario Party Jamboree, Mario and Luigi Brothership and maybe some YS X. Only two games I’m really interested in getting the rest of the year would be physical versions of Dragon Quest III HD-2D and Marvel Vs Capcom Fighting Collection. The wrestling thing this week being AEW Full Gear. A seriously great PPV that was well worth what I caught of it. Excellent matches like the Women’s Match with Mercedes and Kris, the Swerve and Bobby match, the BOOMTASTIC Costco Guys Match and the Main Event of Jon Moxley VS Orange Cassidy having a absolute banger of a end to the whole PPV with runouts of another great match Hangman Adam Page and Switchblade Jay White. Simply outstanding. Anime of the week gotta go to Dandadan and Dragon Ball Daima and Shangri La Frontier and Yakuza Fiancé and Ron Kaminohashis Forbidden Deductions and Ranma 1/2. Yeah same as before absolutely all stellar picks. Yall really should go check out the choices for Best Adaptation like the Yakuza show and Tomb Raider and Fallout show they’re all really good comfort shows. Podcasts of this week gotta go to Castle Superbeast, Big Think Dimension, Into The Aether, RPGsites Tetracast, Minnmax, Jeff Gerstmann, Kit and Krysta, Last Stand Media, Easy Allies, Second Wind, Nextlander, Cultaholic Wrestling, Weapon Wheel Podcast and Remap Radio. As always yall stay safe, be awesome to each other. Have a totally awesome weekend and of course Happy Gaming.

Well here we go with another crazy WAYP. Been a awesome week around here. The week was full of games like Metaphor and Black Ops 6 and was a lot of fun like very very fun the progress I’m making has me quite happy. Got to dig into Mario And Luigi Brothership and Dragon Age The Veilguard and both were quite excellent probably some GOTY contenders there no lie. Most of the weekend was spent with Emio and Visions of Mana. Yeah I’m trying to get back to Visions of Mana and Star Wars Outlaws and the like before GOTY season really gets into gear. Rest of the weekend I’m thinking is gonna be some YS X Nordics that game seriously continues to impress and wow. Otherwise I’m thinking this week is mostly gonna consist of some Zelda, Trails Through Daybreak, Emio, Dawntrail, Metaphor, Tekken 8 for that platinum, Mario Party, Brothership, Eiyuden Chronicles Hundred Heroes, Visions of Mana and yeah Star Wars Outlaws. Think I’ll maybe pick up that Lego Horizon Adventures and that Tekken 8 stage too. The wrestling things this week being AEW Full Gear which I’ve been invited to watch with some buddies. Stands to be some cool matches like Swerve Vs Bobby and Jon Moxley Versus Orange Cassidy. Also those Costco Guys on the pre show should be excited. Anime of the week gotta go to and Dragon Ball Daima and Ranma 1/2. Yeah only two picks this week but that’s because of that Jake Paul and Mike Tyson fight I was more watching that this week actually. Podcasts of this week gotta go to Castle Superbeast, Big Think Dimension, Into The Aether, RPGsites Tetracast, Minnmax, Jeff Gerstmann, Kit and Krysta, Last Stand Media, Easy Allies, Second Wind, Nextlander, Cultaholic Wrestling, Weapon Wheel Podcast and Remap Radio.

Well here we go with another wild WAYP. Been a stupidly cool week around here. The week was mostly the games I wanted to focus on beating like Zelda, Astro Bot, Trails Through Daybreak, Emio and Metaphor. Most of the weekend was spent with Emio and Astro Bot. Emio continues to be an amazing mystery that has me enthralled. Astro Bot on the other hand I not only beat but got the Platinum Trophy for and absolutely loved it all that is seriously a GOTY. Also dabbled in Life Is Strange Double Exposure and Slitterhead like I wanted and they were both really good LIS being like Emio and having a engaging hook and Slitterhead being a wonderful horror experience just a shame it wasn’t a Halloween pick. Rest of the weekend I’m thinking is gonna be some YS X Nordics I really really liked what I played and wanna get a really solid session of it in to really dig in. Otherwise I’m thinking this week is mostly gonna consist of some Zelda, Trails Through Daybreak, Emio, Dawntrail, Metaphor, BLOPS6, Sonic X Shadow Generations and hopefully dabbling in both Mario and Luigi Brothership and Dragon Age The Veilguard on my day off as yeah I picked them both up and they both look exceedingly amazing. Think I’ll maybe pick up that Metal Slug Tactics too. Also kinda considering looking into a PS5 Pro. And yeah Dawntrail is back on the menu because we got Patch 7.1 Crossroads coming out. The wrestling things this week being the build to Survivor Series WARGAMES just has me so hype currently we just have the Bloodline War but I can’t wait for them to build the rest of the card it’s so hype. Anime of the week gotta go to Oshi No Ko and Dandadan and Dragon Ball Daima and Shangri La Frontier and Yakuza Fiancé and Ron Kaminohashis Forbidden Deductions and Ranma 1/2. Yeah we got all our picks for fall and they re seriously peak picks like go check them out. Podcasts of this week gotta go to Castle Superbeast, Big Think Dimension, Into The Aether, RPGsites Tetracast, Minnmax, Jeff Gerstmann, Kit and Krysta, Last Stand Media, Easy Allies, Second Wind, Nextlander, Cultaholic Wrestling, Weapon Wheel Podcast and Remap Radio.

Well here we go with another jampacked WAYP. Been a stupidly awesome week around here. Lots of new games came out. Most of the weekend was spent with Zelda and Ys X with a little Yakuza Kiwami and yeah all of those are extremely awesome I’m loving them all. Sure Yakuza I’ve already played but man it’s such a cozy switch game. Ys X is also like probably the best of that series by far so far. Getting real big GOW: Ragnarok vibes. Rest of the weekend I’m thinking is gonna be some Astro Bot as I would like to beat that game next alongside Metaphor as well. Yeah that’s right no Dawntrail because I beat it. Very touching and amazing Yoshi P and his team knocked it out the park again. Also dabbled into Call of Duty Black Ops 6 and Shadows of the Damned Hella Remastered and those too were excellent COD in particular seriously impressed me. Otherwise I’m thinking this week is mostly gonna consist of some Zelda, Trails Through Daybreak, Emio, Astro Bot, Metaphor, BLOPS6, Sonic X Shadow Generations and hopefully dabbling in both the new Life Is Strange and Slitterhead. Very excited for them. Also Mario and Luigi Brothership comes out this week and I’m looking to pick that up and a copy of Dragon Age: The Veilguard too since that reviewed well. Also started at my new store since the old one shut down and honestly it’s seriously amazing it’s a great store. The two wrestling things this week being WWE Halloween Havoc and WWE Crown Jewel were seriously cool. A lot of excellent matches between the two with amazing wrestlers like Giulia, Trick Williams, Liv Morgan, LA Knight, Cody Rhodes, Roman Reigns, Solo Sikoa and so many more. Now we’re on the road to SURVIVOR SERIES WARGAMES and I just can’t wait. Anime of the week gotta go to Oshi No Ko and Dandadan and Dragon Ball Daima. Yeah we’re full swing into fall and for instance even that new Dragon Ball is seriously peak stuff you guys it seriously rules. Podcasts of this week gotta go to Castle Superbeast, Big Think Dimension, Into The Aether, RPGsites Tetracast, Minnmax, Jeff Gerstmann, Kit and Krysta, Last Stand Media, Easy Allies, Second Wind, Nextlander, Cultaholic Wrestling, Weapon Wheel Podcast and Remap Radio.

Well here we go with another superb WAYP. Been an absolutely amazing and superb week around here. Most of the week was just the usual games like Dawntrail and Metaphor. Similar plots funny enough and easily two strong GOTY contenders. Didn’t game much this weekend outside of some Dawntrail but that’s because I had yet again one of the absolute best days ever going to the city to see Friday Night SMACKDOWN in Brooklyn. Got some cool shirts from the merch shop and got to see 2 showings as it was a double taping and just had the coolest time. Played some Mario Party Jamboree too and man that game is superb it’s a lot of fun and super charming and I’d dare say best of the Mario Party games. Thinking the rest of the weekend will be some more Zelda and I’m thinking Call of Duty Black Ops 6.Yeah I think I’ll crack into the campaign as I’ve been really excited and interested in it. Otherwise I’m thinking this week is mostly gonna consist of some Ace Attorney, Trails Through Daybreak, Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD, Paper Mario, Bakeru, Dawntrail, Astro Bot, Emio, Star Wars Outlaws, Silent Hill 2, DB Sparking, Metaphor and Visions of Mana.Think on my day off I’m gonna crack into YS X as yes I finally got to buy that and it is absolutely hype. Also got Halloween this week and I’m celebrating in style with some Alan Wake 2 The Lake House leading into Halloween, setting up some scares for trick or treaters and after that a little Shadows of the Damned Hella Remastered for Halloween night as my special Halloween game I do every year. And also at some point getting around to watching NXT Halloween Havoc. Only other wrestling thing this week is short and simple. WWE Crown Jewel is coming up and honestly it’s looking kinda hype we got like a possible 7 card set up including some cool matches like a 4 way woman’s tag team match or Seth Freaking Rollins versus Big Bronson Reed. Anime of the week gotta go to Dandadan. Yep just one anime this week because of the SMACKDOWN showing since it was so late to get home. Podcasts of this week gotta go to Castle Superbeast, Big Think Dimension, Into The Aether, RPGsites Tetracast, Minnmax, Jeff Gerstmann, Kit and Krysta, Last Stand Media, Easy Allies, Second Wind, Nextlander, Cultaholic Wrestling, Weapon Wheel, Aetheryte Radio and Remap Radio.

Well here we go with another magnificent WAYP. Been an absolutely cool week around here. Most of the week was just the usual games like Silent Hill 2 and Star Wars and Dragon Ball Sparking Zero. Played a brand new simply amazing game known as Metaphor Refantazio. Ain’t put too much time into it but I can already tell from art style and other things that this may just be the GOTY easy I absolutely love it and can’t wait to play more of it. Didn’t game much this weekend outside of some Ace Attorney Investigations 2 and The Plucky Squire but that’s because yep I was in the city again. This time it was for my grandmas belated birthday and it was loads of fun I love NYC and had some great food and great times with her in Chinatown and her apartment but as I was heading home I got to stop at Nintendo NY and got a copy of Super Mario Party Jamboree there. The vibes were immaculate and lovely and I’m very happy and excited to crack into that game on my day off this week probably alongside Sonic X Shadow Generations now that I think on it. This weeks also when Black Ops 6 and Ys X come out too so busy week ehehehe. Thinking the rest of the weekend will be some Metaphor depending on when I get home from the city again. Yes that’s right back to back trips to NYC. Otherwise I’m thinking this week is mostly gonna consist of some Ace Attorney, Trails Through Daybreak, Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD, Paper Mario, Bakeru, Dawntrail, Astro Bot, Emio, Star Wars Outlaws, Silent Hill 2, DB Sparking and Visions of Mana. Only wrestling thing this week is that this week I go on Friday to see Friday Night SMACKDOWN live from Brooklyn at the Barclays Center and aside from wanting to get some sweet merch from the merch store there it’s gonna be a double taping meaning I get two shows for the price of one and I’m just so happy and excited for a great time with my friends. Anime of the week gotta go to Nokotan, Dandadan, Alya, Oshi and Ranma 1/2. Yep as you can see I did add two new shows in Dandadan and Ranma and honestly both are absolutely peak I loved them both so much easily best shows of the year contender right there. Podcasts of this week gotta go to Castle Superbeast, Big Think Dimension, Into The Aether, RPGsites Tetracast, Minnmax, Jeff Gerstmann, Kit and Krysta, Last Stand Media, Easy Allies, Second Wind, Nextlander, Cultaholic Wrestling, Weapon Wheel, Aetheryte Radio and Remap Radio.

Re: Metacritic's Resident Evil 9 Page Has Fans Hoping for Imminent Reveal

Ryne-Gaia

@riceNpea they’ve said the next resident evil game is in development but I don’t think they’re ever said it’s re9 the sequel to hit game resident evil village for instance. That and also well that’s the thing RE8 isn’t ever called RE8 it’s called Resident Evil VIILage with the Roman numerals in the word making VIII. So similarly I think what they’re getting at is this game could be called EXtinction with the thin line of of E being I and x being well x making it IX.

Well here we go with another fantastic WAYP. Been an absolutely amazing and cool week around here. Most of the week was just the usual games like Dawntrail and Zenless Zone Zero. Played two brand new simply amazing games those being Silent Hill 2 and Dragon Ball Sparking Zero. Silent Hill 2 is honestly a perfect game for this time of year and I’m absolutely loving it. While Dragon Ball is simply just pure immaculate fun and lovely. Didn’t game much this weekend outside of some Ace Attorney Investigations 2 and The Plucky Squire but that’s because I had one of the absolute best days ever going to the city with one of the greatest people I’ve ever known. Said it before in these WAYPs but there are things way better than games and this was one of them. Did play some board games with this girl and hey they were super fun. Thinking the rest of the weekend will be some more Zelda and I guess Silent Hill 2. Otherwise I’m thinking this week is mostly gonna consist of some Ace Attorney, Trails Through Daybreak, Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD, Paper Mario, Bakeru, Dawntrail, Astro Bot, Emio, Star Wars Outlaws, Silent Hill 2, DB Sparking amd Visions of Mana. Think on my day off I’m gonna crack into Metaphor ReFantazio since I got that collector’s edition coming and so I’m super duper hype for that. Only wrestling thing this week is short and simple. WWE Crown Jewel is coming up and eh the hype levels are low beyond hey some RAWs and Smackdowns will have cool crossover moments with the champs like Liv and Nia. Anime of the week gotta go to Nokotan. Yep just one anime this week because of the date in NYC. Gonna give that Dandadan a try tho it’s amazing apparently. Podcasts of this week gotta go to Castle Superbeast, Big Think Dimension, Into The Aether, RPGsites Tetracast, Minnmax, Jeff Gerstmann, Kit and Krysta, Last Stand Media, Easy Allies, Second Wind, Nextlander, Cultaholic Wrestling, Weapon Wheel, Aetheryte Radio and Remap Radio. As always yall stay safe, be extremely spectacular to each other. Have a totally spectacular weekend and of course Happy Gaming.

Well here we go with another stunning WAYP. Been a nice and awesome week around here. Most of the week was just the usual games like Dawntrail and Plucky Squire. Most of the weekend when not working was taken up by The Legend of Zelda Echoes of Wisdom and more Astro Bot. Zelda is absolutely honestly a GOTY contender I can’t think of a more fun and exciting and soothing game I’ve played this year than this one it’s genuinely one of a kind and absolutely worth it. And much the same can be said of Astro Bot that game continues to be a fun and surprising time all the way around. Rest of the weekend I’m thinking will be more Zelda and starting that Silent Hill 2 Remake as I do have the deluxe early access. Never played a Silent Hill before so pretty excited. Otherwise I’m thinking this week is mostly gonna consist of some Ace Attorney, Trails Through Daybreak, Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD, Paper Mario, Bakeru, Dawntrail, Astro Bot, Emio, Star Wars Outlaws and Visions of Mana and Plucky Squire. Gonna focus on trying to beat Dawntrail this week but also fitting in some Dragon Ball Sparking Zero (proud sponser of the Damian Priest/Finn Balor match at WWE Bad Blood) since I also got the deluxe early access on that too. Preordered the Sonic X Shadow Generations Deluxe Edition this week so pretty hype and happy about that. Did a preorder for the Collector’s Edition of Metaphor Refantazio on Amazon so it’ll come a little after the game comes out but that’s fine because I have plans with the most awesome person ever in the world when that comes out so I don’t mind one bit. Also got some PSN money that I think I’m gonna use to preorder Slitterhead Deluxe Edition and save some for when Ys X: Nordics comes out I’m very excited for that. Only wrestling thing I wanna mention this week is the amazing WWE Bad Blood. From the start with CM Punk and Drew in HIAC to the main event of Cody and Roman VS the New Bloodline it was a solid and beautiful 9/10 PLE. Absolutely amazing minus the Rhea and Liv and Nia and Bayley match. But that says how strong the other 3 were to make up for it. Anime of the week gotta go to Nokotan. Yep only got one anime this week as I skipped normal anime night to go on a early morning walk with a friend and cook Deviled Eggs as from the FFXIV cookbook. Absolutely excellent time all around. Podcasts of this week gotta go to Castle Superbeast, Big Think Dimension, Into The Aether, RPGsites Tetracast, Minnmax, Jeff Gerstmann, Kit and Krysta, Last Stand Media, Easy Allies, Second Wind, Nextlander, Cultaholic Wrestling, Weapon Wheel, Aetheryte Radio and Remap Radio. As always yall stay safe, be extremely incredible to each other. Have a totally incredible weekend and of course Happy Gaming.

Well here we go with another exciting WAYP. Been a nice and chill week around here. Most of the week was just the usual games like Dawntrail and Astro Bot and Emio. Most of the weekend when not working was taken up by Emio The Smiling Man and more The Plucky Squire. Plucky Squire is seriously so charming and an easy GOTY contender. Rest of the weekend is probably gonna be a little Emio and some Visions of Mana. Maybe Star Wars. I do have Zelda but I’ll probably save it for the day off on Friday. Otherwise I’m thinking this week is mostly gonna consist of some Ace Attorney, Trails Through Daybreak, Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD, Paper Mario, Bakeru, Dawntrail, Astro Bot, Emio, Star Wars Outlaws, The Plucky Squire and Visions of Mana. Also got some PSN money that I think I’m gonna use to preorder Sonic X Shadow Generations, Slitterhead and Lego Horizon Adventures. That State of Play and Sonic Central were seriously awesome I loved them a lot. Very happy with the Monster Hunter Wilds news. Wrestling this week is quite simple this upcoming Saturday is WWE Bad Blood and I couldn’t be more hype this is gonna be the blow off of all blow offs for so many feuds. Suffice to say I’m pretty sure everyone with a match at Bad Blood has some bad blood with their opponent. Got plans to cook something from my FFXIV Cookbook with a friend that day too. Anime of the week gotta go to Nokotan, Alya Sometimes Speaks in Russian, Oshi No Ko and Mission Yozakura Family. Again all of these anime are absolutely killing it they rule. Also gotta mention Mr. McMahon on Netflix a very very interesting little documentary I’m interested to watch more of. Saw Transformers One this week too and it was seriously excellent one of the best movies of the year. Podcasts of this week gotta go to Castle Superbeast, Big Think Dimension, Into The Aether, RPGsites Tetracast, Minnmax, Jeff Gerstmann, Kit and Krysta, Last Stand Media, Easy Allies, Second Wind, Nextlander, Cultaholic Wrestling, Weapon Wheel, Aetheryte Radio and Remap Radio.

Well here we go with another wonderful WAYP. Been a great and cool week around here. Speaking of cool Happy Fall to everyone. Easily my favorite time of year. Most of the week was just the usual games like Trails Into Daybreak and Dawntrail. Cracked open that Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP AND Plucky Squire and honestly of the two loved Plucky Squire more it’s just so charming whereas Lollipop well it still feels outdated for sure. Also played Yars Rising and honestly that game is incredibly charming and loads of fun. Most of the weekend when not working was taken up by Emio Famicom Detective Club, Trails into Daybreak and more Star Wars Outlaws. Trying to see Tranformers One with a friend but if that falls through I’m thinking the rest of the weekend will be again more Trails and Visions of Mana. Otherwise I’m thinking this week is mostly gonna consist of some Ace Attorney, Trails Through Daybreak, Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD, Paper Mario, Bakeru, Dawntrail, Astro Bot, Emio, WWE 2K24, Star Wars Outlaws, The Plucky Squire and Visions of Mana. Think I’m gonna try to crack open the Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster on my day off. Of course like most people here I’m also excited for the release of Echoes of Wisdom. So freaking hype. Also preordered that Silent Hill 2 Remake and still have that money put aside for Yakuza Kiwami on Switch and YS X on PS5 so pretty happy there. Also got that WWE2K24 Global Superstars DLC I was waiting on so I think alongside it I’ll wrap up the Showcase mode of that game I really am happy about adding wrestlers like Lyra Valkyria and Kairi Sane to that game. Only other wrestling thing I wanna mention this week is short and simple. WWE Bad Blood has pretty sure all of its matches decided like Rhea Vs Liv and Cody with Roman Vs Solo and Jacob and I just can’t wait I’m so hype. I’m especially interested to see who faces Nia Jax there: Bayley or Naomi. Anime of the week gotta go to Nokotan, Alya Sometimes Speaks in Russian, Oshi No Ko and Mission Yozakura Family. Again all of these anime are absolutely killing it they are some of the best anime this year. Podcasts of this week gotta go to Castle Superbeast, Big Think Dimension, Into The Aether, RPGsites Tetracast, Minnmax, Jeff Gerstmann, Kit and Krysta, Last Stand Media, Easy Allies, Second Wind, Nextlander, Cultaholic Wrestling, Weapon Wheel, Aetheryte Radio and Remap Radio.

Well here we go with another nice WAYP. Been a nice and cool week around here. Most of the week was just the usual games like Dawntrail and Star Wars. Most of the weekend when not working was taken up by the Grand Festival in Splatoon 3 and more Visions of Mana. Made it to Future Defender rank in Splatoon 3 and the only shame is it’s probably the last Splatfest and I just absolutely love these little things. The way they changed the map too? Excellent. Made it to Chapter 4 surprisingly in Visions of Mana. I say surprisingly because Chapter 1 felt really long while Chapters 2 and 3 were quick. Otherwise I’m thinking this week is mostly gonna consist of some Ace Attorney, Trails Through Daybreak, Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD, Paper Mario, Bakeru, Dawntrail, Astro Bot, Emio, Star Wars Outlaws and Visions of Mana. Think on my day off I’m gonna crack into Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP so I’m super hype for that. Also got the Original Capcom Fighting Collection on a sale this week so I’m excited to try that. Think this is also the week Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster and The Plucky Squire comes out so I’ll be hype for those. Also got some PSN money that I think I’m gonna use to preorder Silent Hill 2 Remake and save some for when Ys X: Nordics comes out I’m very excited for that. Only wrestling thing I wanna mention this week is short and simple.

Well here we go with another wild WAYP. Been a wild cool week around here. Most of the week was just the usual games like Dawntrail and SMTV: Vengeance and some new stuff like Star Wars Outlaws and BAKERU which both were exceedingly amazing. Most of the weekend when not working was taken up by the Big Run in Splatoon 3 and more Visions of Mana. Got those new Splatoon Amiibos in and they are absolutely beautiful. Also picked up my copies of Ace Attorney Investigations Collection and Astro Bot. Very excited to play those. Also got like 100$ in Eshop money for lots of cool stuff like Baten Kaitos HD and even preorder money for Yakuza Kiwami. Once I’ve spent it on my day off I’ll list what I bought next WAYP. Also with the news on Concord this week I got my refund so I’m gonna go ahead and preorder something special. Rest of the weekend I’m thinking is gonna be some of the COD Black Ops 6 Beta as yes if I enjoy that beta I’m going to use the refund money for a copy of Black Ops 6. Pretty sure it’ll be my first Day 1 COD. Otherwise I’m thinking this week is mostly gonna consist of some Ace Attorney, Trails Through Daybreak, Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD, Paper Mario, Bakeru, Dawntrail, Astro Bot, Emio, P3R: The Answer, Star Wars Outlaws and Visions of Mana. Think this is also the week Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP comes out so I’ll be excited for that one. Only wrestling thing I wanna mention this week is short and simple. AEW All Out. Hangman Adam Page and Swerve Strickland. Unsanctioned Lights Out Steel Cage Match. I’m now a AEW fan too. Anime of the week gotta go to Nokotan, Alya Sometimes Speaks in Russian, Oshi No Ko and Mission Yozakura Family. Yeah got some new ones in here and one of them Nokotan is actually anime of the season I’m absolutely loving it. Alya is extremely cute too. Podcasts of this week gotta go to Castle Superbeast, Big Think Dimension, Into The Aether, RPGsites Tetracast, Minnmax, Jeff Gerstmann, Kit and Krysta, Last Stand Media, Easy Allies, Second Wind, Nextlander, Cultaholic Wrestling, Weapon Wheel, Aetheryte Radio and Remap Radio.

Ryne-Gaia

Well here we go with another jampacked WAYP. Been a stupidly awesome week around here. Lots of new games came out, I got those JJK volumes I mentioned and it’s another jam packed week like that again this week too. Loved that dual direct inside world I think my favorite announcement was Atelier Yumia tho I also picked up the Castlevania Collection so that’s probably hyped thing number 2. Most of the week was just the usual games like Dawntrail and SMTV: Vengeance and some Trails Through Daybreak. Also tried Concord and yeah it really is not as half bad as people make it out to be I had some solid fun with it on my day off it’s not like I felt it ruined my day off or something. Also got a preorder in on that new Life Is Strange so very excited for October when it comes out. But then yesterday I got to boot up both Emio and Visions of Mana and man oh man the good gaming time has arrived. Both were absolutely amazing and cozy. Emio felt like a warm blanket on a cold winters day. And Visions feels like the brightest most colorful thing in the world and I love the story so far. Characters too. Rest of the weekend I’m thinking is gonna be some SMTV: Vengeance as I still would like to beat that game before The Answer and Metaphor come out. Otherwise I’m thinking this week is mostly gonna consist of some Monster Hunter Stories, Trails Through Daybreak, Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD, Paper Mario, Bakeru, Dawntrail, Dragons Dogma 2, Emio, Concord, Star Wars Outlaws and Visions of Mana. Got the new Splatoon amiibos coming in this week and this is also when Astro Bot and Ace Attorney Investigations Collection comes out as well as Bakeru so I’m very excited for all of it. WWE Bash In Berlin was super hype I loved it. The best match was probably a 3 way tie between the Rhea Ripley match, the CM Punk match and the Gunther match they were seriously so incredible. Now we just wait until October and Bad Blood. That one I’m so hype for. Anime of the week gotta go to Oshi No Ko and Mission Yozakura Family. Yeah only got two anime this week as I saw the new Alien movie Alien Romulus on anime day and having never seen a Alien movie outside of Prometheus I have to say it was pretty freaking good. Podcasts of this week gotta go to Castle Superbeast, Big Think Dimension, Into The Aether, RPGsites Tetracast, Minnmax, Jeff Gerstmann, Kit and Krysta, Last Stand Media, Easy Allies, Second Wind, Nextlander, Cultaholic Wrestling and Remap Radio. As always yall stay safe, be stupidly awesome to each other. Have a totally wacky weekend and of course Happy Gaming.

Re: Astro Bot 2 Hinted at in PS5 Platinum Trophy Description

Ryne-Gaia

@IOI I’m already buying the game. Can’t wait actually. But man do I hate this point and I see it so often. It’s not OUR job to make sure team asobi doesn’t get shut down. If Astro bot can’t sell in early September when it’s only completion on the same day is ace attorney? That’s on them. I’m still hella hyped yo.

Re: Konami 'Aware' That Metal Gear Solid 4 Is Still Stuck on PS3

Ryne-Gaia

I think unless they’re just absolutely unable to get MGS4 running on a modern system that yeah it and any other games not on a modern system will be in the next collection. Just look at how they are with Castlevania. Like every three years they put out a collection that brings more old games to modern platforms. So I think they’ll do the same with Metal Gear.

Re: Talking Point: Can PS5, PC Shooter Concord Be Saved?

Ryne-Gaia

So having played the full game for 2 hours last night I can answer the question pretty simply. No the game doesn’t need to be salvaged. If Sony and its small but core fan base such as myself can be fine with not having like overwatch player numbers and the game gets to go on for like 3-5 years? It’ll be just fine. I found myself having more fun playing it last night and playing characters like Haymar more then I’ve ever had playing overwatch probably outside of when Sombra and Ashe launched. I’ll give everyone exactly ONE point and it’s that yeah the character designs suck super bad. Outside of Haymar who I guess you could call a “waifu” I don’t care for like half of these characters and outwardly hate some of them. But with all this said I wanna say if the game was to go free to play there better be something for people like myself who paid at launch or I’ll be on the side of everyone else wanting to destroy this thing. On the other hand tho if this game shuts down in like 6 months because of the hate? Well then I’ll hate each and every single person be they here on push square or elsewhere who caused it because it’s a genuinely fun game I enjoy at the end of the day. And to me that’s all that matters. If you don’t like it then shut up and go play like Astro Bot or GOW or whatever else.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 543

Ryne-Gaia

Well here we go with another amazing WAYP. Been a stupendous week around here. On the Switch I made it through Chapter 1 of Trails Through Daybreak and honestly I absolutely love it. The trails games never seem to miss one bit. Love Agnés the most of this cast. Otherwise I beat FFVII Rebirth which honestly may be GOTY it absolutely destroyed me and is an absolute work of art. But that’s not the only one I also beat PERSONA 3 RELOAD. Yes after 6 months I finally beat Persona 3 for the first time. I would never have been able to do it without the help of my best friend and I send these to him each week so I wanna say right here thank you to him. Now I get like two weeks off of P3R until The Answer comes out and then it’s ALL IN again. Also played a little Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD and man do I still love that game too it’s so cozy and fun. Also bought all of JJK from a guy on eBay and what with the series ending I’m pretty excited for those. Also got a preorder in on Bakeru and can’t wait for that. Rest of the weekend I’m thinking is gonna be some Dawntrail in celebration of FFVII Rebirth and P3R being done. Certainly the two games I’m swapping in their place are gonna be Dawntrail and SMTV:V. Otherwise I’m thinking this week is mostly gonna consist of some Monster Hunter Stories, Trails Through Daybreak, Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD, Dragons Dogma 2, Emio when that ships and gets in, Concord, Star Wars Outlaws and Visions of Mana. Those last 4 are all first time play sessions since three of them come out this week. I do wanna give Concord its fair shake tho I’m not just gonna mindlessly hate it. Getting super hype for WWE Bash In Berlin too that’s gonna be kinda cool. I seriously can’t wait for Kevin Vs Cody, Rhea and Damian Vs Liv and Dirty Dom, CM Punk Vs Drew, Alba Fyre and Isla Dawn vs Jade and Bianca and GUNTHER Vs Randy Orten. That’s right all the matches are announced and I’m gonna update my rating and say it’s a solid A Tier PLE. Anime of the week gotta go to Mayonaka Punch, VTUBER Legend, Oshi No Ko and Mission Yozakura Family. Oshi No Ko continues to be magnificent like always and Mission Yozakura Family is gonna sub in for Delicious in Dungeon as the long lasting 24 episode show. And a special shoutout to a show I got absolutely addicted to this week and destroyed the first season of, Only Murders In The Building. Selena Gomez, Martin Short, and Steve Martin are absolutely amazing and it’s such a wonderful show. Podcasts of this week gotta go to Castle Superbeast, Big Think Dimension, Into The Aether, RPGsites Tetracast, Minnmax, Jeff Gerstmann, Kit and Krysta, Last Stand Media, Easy Allies, Second Wind, Nextlander, Cultaholic Wrestling and Remap Radio.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 542

Well here we go with another wild WAYP. Been an exciting week around here. On the Switch I made it through most of my favorite chapter of Paper Mario The Thousand Year Door: Chapter 3 where I got a blue Yoshi which made me very happy. I think it’s just the vibes of the Glitz Pit that make it my favorite. Also made it to the last world in Super Monkey Ball: Banana Rumble. Excited to wrap that one up. Also got that physical copy of Sea of Stars I mentioned before and I honestly kinda love it all over again. Otherwise I made it to the endgame of both Persona 3 Reload and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth and I’m quite happy there. Thinking the rest of the weekend will just be a Persona 3 Reload weekend. If planned out right I could beat both it and FFVII Rebirth by next weeks journal. Wish me luck ahahaha. Otherwise I’m thinking this week is mostly gonna consist of some Paper Mario, more P3R, Trails Through Daybreak, FFVII Rebirth, Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD, Dragons Dogma 2, Sea of Stars and maybe trying to beat Famicom Detective Club: The Girl Who Stands Behind before Emio releases later this month. It’s gonna be next week when all the preorders start rolling in like Star Wars Outlaws and Visions of Mana but I already got one preorder coming in this week with Concord. Genuinely kinda excited for that one as I enjoyed the beta. Also got preorders in this week on Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster and Lollipop Chainsaw RePop so September will be very zombie filled ahahaha. Oh and I’ll get The Plucky Squire for free off of PS Plus so I’m also super hype on that. Almost bit on a preorder for Dragon Age The Veilguard butttttttt nah. Getting super hype for WWE Bash In Berlin too that’s gonna be kinda cool. I seriously can’t wait for Kevin Vs Cody, Rhea and Damian Vs Liv and Dirty Dom and GUNTHER Vs Randy Orten. Gonna say it’s a solid B Tier PLE. Anime of the week gotta go to Delicious in Dungeon. Yeah it’s the only one I watched this week but I also finished it and I can’t wait for more. Think I’m gonna get the box set so I can own all of the manga. Special shoutout to Emily in Paris on Netflix tho it just got a new season and after I figure out how to incorporate watching NXT alongside RAW and SMACKDOWN to complete my WWE collection you could say I think I’ll dive into Season 3 of Emily since that’s where I left off and catch up. Such a cute comfort show. Podcasts of this week gotta go to Castle Superbeast, Big Think Dimension, Into The Aether, RPGsites Tetracast, Minnmax, Jeff Gerstmann, Kit and Krysta, Last Stand Media, Easy Allies, Second Wind, Nextlander, Cultaholic Wrestling and Remap Radio. As always yall stay safe, be magnificent to each other. Have a fantastic weekend and of course Happy Gaming.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 541

Ryne-Gaia

Well here we go with another cool WAYP. Been a nice week around here. Beat Stellar Blade and that game was honestly a whole lot of fun. Decent ending and would definitely look forward to a sequel or DLC. Bosses were the best part of the game easy. Also played some Splatoon 3 this weekend for the Splatfest. Picked Team Bread amd became the rank of Bread Defender. Definitely gonna go hog wild on the next one since it’s the grandfest and most likely the last one. Also did some Kunitsu Gami and I think that game is gonna go on the back burner. Bought Fate/Stay Night Remastered amd Tsukihime a piece of blue glass moon. Excited to get into those after some Witch in the Holy Night. Also got a preorder on Yars Rising. Been excited for that since seeing it in I think a Indie World earlier this year. Think the rest of the weekend is gonna be a Persona 3 Reload session. Think I have it planned out in a way that I should only have 5 or 6 more sessions of that game. Otherwise I’m thinking this week is mostly gonna consist of some Paper Mario, more P3R and Dragons Dogma 2, Super Monkey Ball Banana Rumble, Trails Through Daybreak, FFVII Rebirth, and FFXIV Dawntrail, WWE2K24, Luigi’s Mansion 2 and countless more I’m probably missing ahahaha. Goal is same as before just clear out most or all of the first half of years of games before the second half really kicks off. And that second half basically kicks off when Concord comes out. Trying to get a copy of Sea of Stars now too since Sony is gonna take it away. Also gonna try to remember to use my PSN money to preorder Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP and Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster. Excited for the end of this month for WWE Bash In Berlin the two currently announced matches of GUNTHER vs Randy Orten and Cody Rhodes vs Kevin Owens have me very excited. Anime of the week gotta go to Mayonaka Punch, VTUBER Legend, Oshi No Ko, and Delicious in Dungeon. Those first two are real standouts of this season of anime they’re excellent. Podcasts of this week gotta go to Castle Superbeast, Big Think Dimension, Into The Aether, RPGsites Tetracast, Minnmax, Jeff Gerstmann, Kit and Krysta, Last Stand Media, Easy Allies, Second Wind, Nextlander, Cultaholic Wrestling and Remap Radio.

Well here we go with another awesome WAYP. Been an incredible week. Almost beat Stellar Blade and secured preorders for the Deluxe Edition of Dragon Ball Sparking Zero and Shadows of the Damned Hella Remastered. Also bought the ECW Punk pack for WWE2K24 with the reward points I got from PlayStation Stars for that. Very happy about it because I love CM Punk. Also ordered a copy of Tokyo Xanadu Ex+ for switch. Owned the original on PS4 and always said well it feels like it fits on Switch and here we are. Can’t wait to boot it up on my day off. Also scored a awesome deal of the Borderlands Pandora’s Box collection for $37 instead of 150 so I think that means at some point a Borderlands Marathon is on the books like my Uncharted and Resident Evil marathons before it. Also might wanna see that movie too. Speaking of movies I saw Deadpool and Wolverine this week with my best friend and man that was a terrific movie seriously I think it may be easy top 3, definitely a comfort movie I would watch on Disney Plus again if it came out there. Otherwise I enjoyed some more Trails Through Daybreak and FFXIV: Dawntrail. Took a little for both to click but man I just love both of those games so much I really wanna pour loads more into them. Thinking the rest of the weekend will just be a Persona 3 Reload weekend. Made it to December and that means there’s just that and January left. Otherwise I’m thinking this week is mostly gonna consist of some Paper Mario, more P3R and beating Stellar Blade, Luigi’s Mansion, Trails Through Daybreak, beating Super Monkey Ball Banana Rumble, FFVII Rebirth, Kunitsu Gami and Dragon’s Dogma 2.. Also think I’m gonna try to get some Eshop money this week to secure copies of Tsukihime and Fate/Stay Night Remastered which just got a release for this week. Already own Witch on the Holy Night on PS4 so I think I wanna try to beat all three of those visual novels before the end of the year. WWE SummerSlam too was absolutely amazing I got to see it with my best friend and stepdad and it was just absolutely peak. I won’t go in depth and spoil for those who haven’t seen it yet but I don’t think there was a bad match the whole thing. The pop for a certain comeback was so loud it was absolutely insane. I think my standouts would be Cody Vs Solo, Rhea Vs Liv, and CM Punk Vs Drew. Let’s just say that this weeks RAW and SMACKDOWN are gonna be absolutely amazing. And I got surprised with tickets for SMACKDOWN in October which I am absolutely stoked for as that will almost certainly be building up for a Bloodline Civil War Wargames at Survivor Series in November. Anime of the week gotta go to Demon Slayer, Oshi No Ko, Vtuber Legend and Delicious in Dungeon. Demon Slayer was excellent especially and I’m very interested to see the trilogy of movies they’ve announced to end the series. Podcasts of this week gotta go to Castle Superbeast, Big Think Dimension, Into The Aether, RPGsites Tetracast, Minnmax, Jeff Gerstmann, Kit and Krysta, Last Stand Media, Easy Allies, Second Wind, Nextlander, Cultaholic Wrestling, Aetheryte Radio and Remap Radio.

Well here we go with another awesome WAYP. Been a cool week around here. Just been doing more work on the games of the summer. Got to try Arranger thanks to Netflix tho and that game is amazing and adorable I see it’s only like 5 hours long and that may be like the first game I play fully on my phone. Dabbled in some Under Night In Birth 2 Sys: Celes and the new character Uzuki and she’s so fun and that game is definitely on GOTY contender lists. Did some more Dawntrail and I gotta say that expansion is finally clicking. Don’t get why people hate it I really don’t. The rest of the weekend will just be a Persona 3 Reload weekend I think. We’re finally in November so all that leaves is December and January. Snagged all those things I talked about in the last WAYP like the Tekken 8 season pass and the Guilty Gear Strive Season 4 Season Pass. And the previously mentioned UNIST 2 Season Pass too. And a copy of Star Wars Outlaws. Got to play some Lidia Sobieska for Tekken and honestly she’s so much fun it’s great they added her in 8 after she was so forgotten in 7. Picked up another pack of PSN cards this week tho and that bundle is gonna go to probably my last digital preorders for now which will be the Deluxe Edition of Dragon Ball Sparking Zero and Shadows of the Damned Hella Remastered. Think I may also make a attempt to pick up a copy of Tokyo Xanadu Ex+ too. Very excited about that Dragon Ball tho it gets 3 day early access AND the season pass for that game. Otherwise I’m thinking this week is mostly gonna consist of some Paper Mario, more P3R and some Stellar Blade, Monster Hunter Stories, Trails Through Daybreak, Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD, FFVII Rebirth, Kunitsu Gami and countless others I’m probably missing ahahaha. Goal is same as before just clear out most or all of the first half of years of games before the second half really kicks off. Definitely gotta think about how to tackle games like Dragons Dogma 2 or Rise of the Ronin. Still incredibly hype for WWE Summerslam too that’s gonna be so hype on Saturday I seriously can’t wait for Solo Vs Cody, Rhea Vs Liv, LA Knight Vs Logan Paul, CM Punk Vs Drew McIntyre with Special Guest Referee Seth Freaking Rollins and so many more seriously it’s like 10 matches so far. Excited to see more Jacob Fatu in action and maybe the Return of Roman Reigns and maybe just maybe some Wyatt Sicks spookiness? Anime of the week gotta go to Kaiju No.8, Oshi No Ko, Delicious in Dungeon, Plus Sized Elf and Urusei Yatsura of course. Plus Sized Elf is wonderfully perfectly silly and I recommend it highly. Finished off Kaiju No 8 and Urusei Yatsura and I’ll just say this Kaiju No 8 was pretty good and had some cool things going down in it but Urusei Yatsura? A genuine work of art that was absolutely beautiful and I think everyone should check out and I hope to one day proudly own all of it. Podcasts of this week gotta go to Castle Superbeast, Big Think Dimension, Into The Aether, RPGsites Tetracast, Minnmax, Jeff Gerstmann, Kit and Krysta, Last Stand Media, Easy Allies, Second Wind, Nextlander, Cultaholic Wrestling, Aetheryte Radio and Remap Radio. Think I’ll try to enjoy some of the Olympics that are on and I hope all of yall do too. Rooting for Team USA Basketball, Skateboarding and Swimming baby. Bring home the Gold everyone. As always yall stay safe, be incredible to each other. Have a terrific weekend and of course Happy Gaming.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 538

Ryne-Gaia

Well here we go with another interesting WAYP. Been a weird week around here. Wanna start with a little sadness but yet some inner peace. Whats gotten me down these past couple weeks has kinda led to a conclusive end. They’ll probably never see this and who knows maybe one day down the line we’ll be back again but for now farewell Agent Gap and Akibread. Perhaps one day we’ll meet again. Agent Gap you’ll always be my sweet Miorine. To lighter topics uh I played that new Nintendo World Championships and honestly that game is way way nicer neater and better then I ever expected. I’m really getting to enjoy these old games I didn’t think I ever would. Definitely loving it a lot. Not really gonna get another shot at Concord but again I reiterate how fun it is I cant wait for full release. Also saw that new Nick Cage movie LONGLEGS. Incredible movie I loved it a lot. Real big Alan Wake vibes from it I loved it. Thinking the rest of the weekend will just be a Persona 3 Reload or FFXIV Dawntrail weekend. Gotta keep working at that game if I want to beat it by my deadline of August 19th a fitting full moon. The weekend is also EVO Weekend so I’m looking forward to the other announcements of the weekend like Guilty Gear and Tekken and so on. Already getting Mature and Vice for KOFXV was pretty sweet. Probably after all the announcements are all said and done I’m thinking of either getting a presumed Season 4 Pass for Guilty Gesr Strive and the Tekken 8 pass since those are the only ones I think will be purchasable since vice and mature are December 😔 and a standard edition of Star Waes Outlaws or just the presumed GGST pass and a gold edition of Star Wars Outlaws. Snagged preorders on Emio and the new Splatoon amiibos so that’s also pretty sweet too. Otherwise I’m thinking this week is mostly gonna consist of some Paper Mario, more P3R and some Stellar Blade, Monster Hunter Stories, Trails Through Daybreak, FFVII Rebirth Kunitsu Gami and countless more I’m probably missing ahahaha. Goal is same as before just clear out most or all of the first half of years of games before the second half really kicks off. Speaking of Monster Hunter I now own all the Monster Hunter Stories Amiibos and they are so freaking cool. Getting super hype for WWE Summerslam too that’s gonna be so hype I seriously can’t wait for Solo Vs Cody, Rhea Vs Liv and so many more. Anime of the week gotta go to Kaiju No.8, Oshi No Ko, Delicious in Dungeon and Urusei Yatsura of course. Podcasts of this week gotta go to Castle Superbeast, Big Think Dimension, Into The Aether, RPGsites Tetracast, Minnmax, Jeff Gerstmann, Kit and Krysta, Last Stand Media, Easy Allies, Second Wind, Nextlander, Cultaholic Wrestling and Remap Radio. As always yall stay safe, be incredible to each other. Love those who love you. Have an beautiful weekend and of course Happy Gaming.

Crazy how like uneducated this comment section is. With sumeru I could have agreed with some of yall but if this new place legit is supposed to be Africa and South America is it really that hard to make one maybe two darker characters? Its really not asking much like it just gets downright weird if they keep doing this or ignoring the controversy.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 537

Ryne-Gaia

Well here we go with another excellent WAYP. Been a weird week around here. Still feeling kinda depressed but also the depression breaking a little I guess? Weekends been mostly busy with work tho I did get two nice Summer Nights Splatfest days in Splatoon 3. Beautiful colors the whole time and honestly winning or losing I genuinely had a good time regardless with it so that was awesome. Also tried out the Concord beta on PS5 and honestly while I was a little eh on it at first once I played a couple matches I enjoyed it. Thought I wouldn’t be able to play my “waifu” character Haymar but then I realized the optimal way to play her and it was loads of fun. And having those live service goals that get paid out like job tickets getting the bottom part torn off upon completion? Crazy satisfying. Looking forward to the full game. Thinking the rest of the weekend will just be a Persona 3 Reload weekend or FFXIV Dawntrail. Again it really comes down to just how I feel and what I want of my games. The rest of the week is honestly gonna reflect the rest of the summer minus the addition of games like Kunitsu Gami or maybe a preorder of Star Wars Outlaws or this years EVO where we’ll most likely get fighting game DLC. And that’s me mostly wanting to knock out all the cool games of the first half of the year. On the switch we’re talking Paper Mario, Luigi’s Mansion 2, Monkey Ball, Monster Hunter Stories and of course my lovely Trails Through Daybreak. Got to play that on my day off and it was just absolutely lovely amd everything I wanted and more. And over on PS5 that means games like Persona 3 Reload, FFXIV Dawntrail, Stellar Blade, Sand Land, FFVII Rebirth, Rise of the Ronin, WWE 2K24 and Dragons Dogma 2. Wanna knock most of these out by the last week of August which I consider to be the start of the second half of games where they just start coming out one week after the other rapidfire. I may also wanna dabble in some Theatrhythm Final Bar Line. Played it a little when it came out and honestly I really love the gameplay loop of those games, a craving I guess ahahaha. Also may want to check out the Starfy games. Starfy is so cute and awesome and honestly the fact they put them on NSO like they did is really interesting. Anime of the week gotta go to Kaiju No.8, Oshi No Ko, Delicious in Dungeon and Urusei Yatsura of course. Oshi No Ko specifically is incredibly amazing honestly. That show has not missed yet. Podcasts of this week gotta go to Castle Superbeast, Big Think Dimension, Into The Aether, RPGsites Tetracast,Minnmax, Jeff Gerstmann, Kit and Krysta, Last Stand Media, Easy Allies, Second Wind, Nextlander, Cultaholic Wrestling, Let’s Anime and Remap Radio. And yet we wouldn’t be done without a incredible huge lovely superb wonderful shoutout to my dear friend over at twitch.tv/akibread and their wonderful streams please give them a look. As always yall stay safe, stay cool and refreshed and be incredible to each other. Have an excellent weekend and of course Happy Gaming.
