Detective Pikachu burst onto the 3DS last month but we’re more interested in the Switch sequel. Pick a new job and a different Pokémon for said sequel. Like Balla, I was thinking some sort of Trauma Centre game but with Pokemon and you would use an electric Pokemon for heart thing for instance The results of the forum’s One Year Of Switch vote were presented brilliantly by Balla last month. How long should it be before our next vote? End of Year vote and one that should have been done this year as we did year 1, 3, 5 and that's the 3DS that I would like to see a year 8 / last ever vote for it next year and maybe I could do it. The Russian nerve agent attack took place in Salisbury last month. Which video gaming character was behind it? Nanomachines
Tomb Raider made its way to the cinema last month - what game are you dying to see given the Hollywood treatment? I can think of a few that would work like Uncharted but like Tomb Raider, it's just going to be compared to Indiana Jones and likely not as good. Kirby Star Allies erupted onto the Switch recently and brought with it an incredibly swole Dedede. Which video game character is next up to hit the gym? Tingle Loads more Nindies were announced to be heading Switchwards as part of the latest Nindies conference. If you were to make an indie game, what zany concept would you go for and what genre would it be? I've had a few but I still want someone to make my card based fantasy (as in elves) football game called Phantasy Phootball

Howdy folks. As you've all no doubt seen by now, Zero's stepped down as admin and from the forum as a whole. I'll have more to say on that elsewhere, but rest assured I still want to try to run this place to the best of my ability.
I do need a night away doing other things from time to time, as do we all, so on that note to continue to support the day-to-day running of this place, Balla has graciously agreed to take up the mantle of admin once more. I'm chuffed to have him back on board, although I'm sure the poor tagline thread would disagree as he put most of the suggestions into that thread.
On the note, it's time to meet your admin team once again.
James "Jay" Moyles:
Ready Player One came out at the very end of March and some of our forumites had the fortune/misfortune (delete as appropriate) of seeing it in April. How would you have more carefully handled video game culture and presented it on the silver screen?
I would charge moviegoers a small fee with a random chance to see a scene in the film. There's a chance that if the moviegoers are fortunate that they can see the whole film for around the price of a normal ticket, but the likelihood is that they'll get a duplicate scene instead.
Dark Souls was pushed back to the summer on Switch last month, which led to rampant speculation about why this has happened. What's the REAL reason for the delay?
The developers needed to add a few more leg dinosaurs to Lost Izalith.
Nintendo Labo let us make games out of cardboard last month. What material should Nintendo use for their next real-world gaming foray?
FIRE AND BRIMSTONE BURN THEM ALL AHAHAHA-
Dear God - Gal Gun 2 came to Switch last month, allowing you to shoot anime schoolgirls with 'euphoria'. When did you last feel embarrassed playing a game in front of somebody (if ever)?
Oh, not a clue. Maybe Mass Effect when Shepherd starting humping all the blue people and my (at the time) pre-teen brother walked into the room.
Royal baby! Royal baby! What's the best reason for caring?
The Premier League was decided last month, but what sport should we all have been following instead?
You should have all watched The Greatest Royal Rumble in the wonderfully liberal port town of Jeddah in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. That progressive place gave birth to the Greatest Royal Rumble. It was really Great how the WWE's biggest star was banned from performing because of her gender. Really Great.
The Monster Among Men, Balladeer:
Nintendo Labo let us make games out of cardboard last month. What material should Nintendo use for their next real-world gaming foray? Vibranium.
Dark Souls was pushed back to the summer on Switch last month, which led to rampant speculation about why this has happened. What's the REAL reason for the delay? The porting team got to Blighttown, went, 'Why the sodding hell did they think this was a good idea!?' and had to be talked gently into therapy. They're still recovering.
Dear God - Gal Gun 2 came to Switch last month, allowing you to shoot anime schoolgirls with 'euphoria'. When did you last feel embarrassed playing a game in front of somebody (if ever)? Just this Christmastime, when I was playing Xenoblade 2 in front of my family. My mother and sister were scathing about Pyra's appearance, and they weren't wrong. I play it for the exploration I swear...
Ready Player One came out at the very end of March and some of our forumites had the fortune/misfortune (delete as appropriate) of seeing it in April. How would you have more carefully handled video game culture and presented it on the silver screen? I'd tell the harrowing story of a group of under-pressure developers, struggling under the pressures of crunch time, the pressure to shoehorn in multiplayer/microtransactions/other despicable practices to please the overlords, the need to hit certain Metacritic scores to get their bonuses, being torn apart by the rabid Twitter mass for changing the series formula/not changing the series formula/being female... then have a big happy fluffy fantasy ending where they attack the corporate overlords on dragons because FUCK YOUR MISERABLE GRIMDARK NONSENSE
Royal baby! Royal baby! What's the best reason for caring? The fascinating biology of the reproductive cycle of the lizard people.
The Premier League was decided last month, but what sport should we all have been following instead? I'm going to refrain from the obvious 'cricket', and instead say watching the England and Wales Cricket Board trying to launch their new stupid brand of cricketainment. It's like hurdles, and they fall over every one into a pile of rupees.

Dark Souls was pushed back to the summer on Switch last month, which led to rampant speculation about why this has happened. What's the REAL reason for the delay? Treesmurf did an excellent tweet (I think) about this. To plagorise, it's launching in the summer so we can properly praise the sun.

Dear God - Gal Gun 2 came to Switch last month, allowing you to shoot anime schoolgirls with 'euphoria'. When did you last feel embarrassed playing a game in front of somebody (if ever)? Probably back when I had an office job. I was playing Fire Emblem: Awakening and, not that anyone in the kitchen noticed, but I was somewhat embarrassed that I was essentially reading a load of awkwardly written, male-female, shucky-ducky lovey-dovey quack-quacks.
Royal baby! Royal baby! What's the best reason for caring? Royal baby sounds a bit like Royal Boaby.
The Premier League was decided last month, but what sport should we all have been following instead? Nascar. They upload full races onto YouTube and it's repetitive and dull enough to keep you studying while also being interesting enough to keep you from getting bored. See also Snooker.

Oh boy. If anyone had walked in during those really awkward section in Fates where a big 3D model of any of the cast awkwardly spouts off romantic platitudes at you, that would be answer through and through.

Dear God - I can actually unironically recommend cricket to someone! I got into it as a method of procrastination at work (unless my boss asks, in which case it was my dad's influence). The County matches last four days - that's four times the repetition and dull-but-not-quite-dull-enough-YMMV-ness.

I remember that I once tried having Cricket on via the radio while working. Can't remember anything about the games but there sure was plenty of discussion about what was to be had to munch on amongst the commentators

the only answers u need:
Ready Player One came out at the very end of March and some of our forumites had the fortune/misfortune (delete as appropriate) of seeing it in April. How would you have more carefully handled video game culture and presented it on the silver screen? I'd have either made a harrowing real-life story about a woman's harassment and the huge amounts of work still needed in diversity and working conditions in the game industry. Or, I'd have just made my own sci-fi/ fantasy story but taken inspiration from things I love, be they videogames, films or whatever, without trying to trade on someone else's good associations.
Dark Souls was pushed back to the summer on Switch last month, which led to rampant speculation about why this has happened. What's the REAL reason for the delay? None of you deserve the majestic experience that is Dark Souls. When you all stop whining and grow up, you might be allowed to play this masterpiece.
Nintendo Labo let us make games out of cardboard last month. What material should Nintendo use for their next real-world gaming foray? Cheese. Just give me a fondue pot that sits above my Switch, that way next time it overheats the blow of having to stop playing for a bit will be lessened by the joy of a big pot of melted cheese to dip fried things into.
Dear God - Gal Gun 2 came to Switch last month, allowing you to shoot anime schoolgirls with 'euphoria'. When did you last feel embarrassed playing a game in front of somebody (if ever)? I have no sense of shame.
Royal baby! Royal baby! What's the best reason for caring? You're putting together a hit list to eliminate the monarchy and you just added an extra, albeit easy to kill, name.
The Premier League was decided last month, but what sport should we all have been following instead? Competitive ARMS. The only true sport.

Dark Souls was pushed back to the summer for Switch last month, which led to rampant speculation about why this has happened. What's the REAL reason for the delay? To get fans to double dip
Nintendo Labo let us make games out of cardboard last month. What material should Nintendo use for their next real-world gaming foray? Partnership with LEGO
Dear God - Gal Gun 2 came to Switch last month, allowing you to shoot anime schoolgirls with 'euphoria'. When did you last feel embarrassed playing a game in front of somebody (if ever)? I don't think I really have as I've played Dead or Alive back in day against my dad but I guess sharing reviews for the likes of Senran Kagura and Hatoful Boyfriend might count as embarrassing, especially a lot at work read my Hatful review that I became the weird pigeon dating guy even though if any read the review properly would know it's a great game.
And on Gal Gun how is that allowed in the UK but that other game Omega something is banned.
Royal baby! Royal baby! What's the best reason for caring? None that I can think off
