Yeah the Master, the cameos and other stuff in Power was fantastic, the metaplot not so much but it meant at least Jodie got to go out with a bang. The ending however smacks to me a little too cynical and desperate to get the viewers back, almost reactionary even, but at least it's not for too long, and it'll be fun in the specials I'm sure.

Man, Metroid Dread reborn after 15+ years, what a time to be alive.

Also AW ports let's goooooo

Welp, EU Splatfest is drawing to a close, can't say this one was that great, lost quite a few of my matches this time, getting to DANCING QUEEN was something of a chore I admit…
Especially when the lobbies started getting filled with intentional saboteurs on both sides, something that's apparently been reported elsewhere, but I did see it with my own eyes - it kinda sucks, especially when it didn't happen in the last few fests. Excuse the Reddit link, but it really is something else.

@MetaMario:

I'm so spoiled by the colorful GBA sprite work

I realize it's nitpicking but I wish FE11 didn't look so drab. I remember being psyched years ago when I heard Marth's adventure had come to stateside, but I wasn't wowed by it?

Then again, my Fire Emblem interest kinda faded after FE7 up until my brother came home with Awakening. I suppose it was a combination of other games taking my time (it was the Gamecube and PS2 era, tons of good stuff)….and well, I guess I was so attached to the FE7 characters I didn't feel like playing another game with new characters.

But hey, Awakening and Smash Bros. revived my love for the series.

Yeah, I felt the same way after having started with the GBA games, but it grew on me after a while.
My main complaint about Shadow Dragon is the hit/dodge mechanics, or lack thereof, hah.

@Cyan:

I'm so sorry .

I admit, I redownloaded it myself - It's one of my guilty pleasures, I enjoy replaying it quite a bit, perhaps due in part to its simplicity as a remake of FE1.
Mind you, if New Mystery had been officially localised, then we'd have a different story on our hands…

Now Gaiden I haven't played in a long time, but it is very good considering, how clunky FE1 was in comparison, and I've played all the games from my knowledge, even Thracia 776, which was… an experience. Still, not wholly unenjoyable, it just really, REALLY needs a better patch, the folks at Serenes Forest haven't reallybeen on that from what I hear.

And yeah FE14's new features are definitely rubbing me the wrong way, I must say, but I wasn't Awakening's biggest fan, hopefully this is an overall improvement.

Well, I just got done watching Adventure in Space and Time, and good grief, the feels were too much towards the end. Fantastic docudrama.

Yeah, that's just an amazing serial all-round, I should watch that again when I have time. And Pokémon is about to deplete a whole lot of that time. Dissertation notwithstanding.

Yeah, the Kandyman bears a resemblance to Bertie Bassett, a mascot for a bunch of sweets I was never quite fond of, Liqourice Allsorts I believe.

@No:

I wouldn't say authoritarian but when he does get a bit high and mighty the script immediately has him get back to earth, hard. Remember the end of Inferno ?

Hah, quite, watching that serial's always a pleasure. But yeah, perhaps it wasn't quite the word I was looking for. Still, overall I rate Pertwee's Doctor quite highly. On top of that, he's seen with my favourite Master, Delgado, and their dynamic is just great to watch.
