Yesterday I Bought (a bad pun) for 3!

Enchanted Arms did arrive


But what also came I forgot I had on order

Have you ever played any Ys? It seems like one of those series that sells millions by having literally a million releases, but I don't really know anything about it. I did see a board game at a convention once . . .

As of now only a bit of one of the others on VITA, seems to be a typical JRPG. Maybe compare it to a Tales in where you'd place it.

Huh. I had it in my head as more of a strategy thing.

In other news, I bought some shelves. I carried them home from the shop and built them, all the while having Japanese people make faces and tell me I'm strong, which was the last thing my ego needs



Slowly but surely, this place is looking and feeling more like I live here, rather than like I'm just squatting temporarily.

I'm imagining you sitting cross-legged on the bare wooden floor in front of that, too into the relevant game to notice your sore legs.

What N64 games are those on your top-left shelf, Drunka?

Yet mare shite:



The two Rayman games, SoulCaliburV and Split/Second were 99p each in GAME's clearance. Lego Movie was £2.99. Ninja Gaiden 3 was found in the Cash Generator bargain bin, the disc is spotless too

Not quite- I have a futon at least!

The two Zeldas, Goldeneye, Starfox 64, Havest Moon and Rayman. On the Pokemon shelf on the right, there's Stadium and Snap, as well.
All the N64 games are Shen's. We've not gotten around to buying an actual console yet, mind.

To be honest I didn't buy either of these today, but heck: it's just so nice to come home on a Monday when you've had to stay late at work and find a game and some soft toys on my mat and I'm so happy and eeeeee.

Where do I begin? I do have (as it's not sold on eBay) an Elite controller, which is great and I'm tempted by MK2 but the rubber grip on the left handle (I guess you call it that) came off. Now I did glue it back on but it just wasn't nice to hold any more, that I recently bought this



Which was £35 new Argos return type deal on eBay, which is cheap as some of the prices of these Xbox One controllers are mad like Sea of Thieves £200 for a boxed one. Anyway just found out the headphone jack doesn't work, now I know why it was a return but auction did say 100% tested and working with the seller only selling similar things and having amazing feedback.

Have just messaged them, and they have replied saying to send back to get a refund etc

I have picked up some games Splinter Cell Chaos Theory, Batman Arkham Origins which are both BC on Xbox One and a bunch of downloads like Crash Team Racing.

Then today when I got my comics I also got four new pops

I bought one of those Ancestry DNA things. I don't care that much myself, but my Dad wanted me to do it, and there was a special offer on Father's Day.
Yeah, I know, it sounds like a terrible idea! Give the gift of "turns out, you're not his"... no worries here, I'm definitely my Dad's son

I haven't done it yet, but I look forward to seeing what ethnicity I am, and therefore can claim citizenship when Britain implodes in a [left wing rant redacted].

Wish I could claim a Italian passport but unfortunately not allowed to go back that far.

Just change the Y for an I - it's bound to work.

Shen did one of those and she's a bazillion different ethnicities. I'm pretty sure I'd just be hugely, tediously European.

I would like to join in this conve- aww. (continues being very pale and English)

These today at the boot sale


Cost me £14.50 in total, which I think is pretty good as COD Modern Warfare Remastered is £30 on its own in work.

I do hate Fable Lost Chapters and same goes for Ninja Gaiden Black only come in classic style packaging.

Plush Club 4 Life



Eevee joins Shadow the Hedgehog, Toon Link, Morgana, Tails and Boruto

#PlushClubRepresent.  I think we need a picture of all these plushes together...

Bought around town:



The two GameCube games were knowingly sold for very cheap as they've got no manuals and the discs looked quite scratched. Wind Waker works fine, but Melee stops when it wants, that'll need resurfaced. The Mega Drive games (Sonic Spinball, G-LOC: Air Battle and Dynamite Duke) were 50p each. Super Mario Ball was £2.99, and that PS2 game is the long-forgotten sequel to the more famous 18 Wheeler: American Pro Trucker game that I love the arse off of.

A certain Nintendo console. No games yet, that'll be next payday (aka after I've finished GoaT Nier Automata's B and C routes). Maybe. Point is the console is mine before stocktake sales were over, all according to keikaku.

Glad you got a Virtual Boy

Kidding, but the Switch does have a few f2p games and I guess you would have a trial at least for the online for NES games & Tetris.

Nice! Glad to have you amongst the Switch brethren here.

On another note, it's odd how there's a few folk all playing Automata as of late - myself, Mas dabbled with it, I saw Beemoh playing it on Twitter and now you too. And I don't think there was anything that prompted us all to do that, was there?

I picked up in a sale on Xbox but that was the only reason I picked it up now.

I really should go back to it as it was a banger, just as I've got digital, meaning it's not going anywhere I'm in no rush.

Forgot about there being free games, and isn't there a demo for Octopath Traveller too? Might just get it unpacked then!

And no, I'm sure it was just a coincidence everyone started Nier at the same time! No secret network of the mind at work here!

It does indeed have an Octopath demo.! Glad to welcome you to our ranks Athers.

Jay: Beemoh isn't one of us any more. He made his choice.

Yep, the demo for Octopath allows you to transfer your progress to the main game as well, if I remember rightly.

Balla: He's clearly still part of the Great Hivemind judging by the surge in Nier Automata playthroughs around here.
