The film was fun, but this is still a masterpiece

@ArgonautGames_ To be fair, I've been actively avoiding stuff since after the first trailer so I could enjoy as many surprises as poss

Just saw the Mario Galaxy and enjoyed it. First one is better for it's simplicity, but this one was plenty of fun, lots of great Bowser/Jack Black bits (no song though?!), and me and my son basically spent the full runtime like this:

@AjentVee Starfox 64. If you have a 3DS, Starfox 64 3D (looks great and controls better)

Hey all! StarFox noob here (I only know Starfox via Smash Bros LOL) Where do I start?

@ArgonautGames_ Ah, I managed to miss that. Still cool, and absolutely great to see him get some recognition. Fortunately my son recognised him from watching me play Lylat Wars on Switch (need to get him to try it)

@James_Batchelor He was lurking in the earlier trailer so many people already knew (unless they were avoiding everything online). Alas, many people online saying that their kids recognized Fox as "from Super Smash Bros". Regardless, nice to see our boy up on the big screen! ⭐️🦊

@ArgonautGames_ Genuinely gutted he was announced before the film came out - would have been an amazing surprise. Was grinning ear to ear when the music kicked in

Now to spend the afternoon playing Super Mario Galaxy. And maybe a spot of Lylat Wars!

@VirtuallyMarti Wow, that is quite the collection! Should keep Joe happy for a while 😜

@James_Batchelor I'd be lying if I said I hadn't just spent the morning whilst the dog is at the groomers trying to dust and move things around so Joe can actually build this lot and have somewhere to put it. It's been building (lol) up for months now. Luigi kart arrives tomorrow.

Why is Lego so moreish?! My daughter and I have built four of these since Saturday (just mecha Boba Fett to go) but we still want more!

We regret to inform you that, yes, it is a Monday. To soften the blow, set yourself a challenge. Why not: 🎮 Try a new indie game? 👽 Set a PB in LTCO Endless Mode? 🐸 Beat the Froggy Hates Snow demo? 💎 Try a new Soulstone build? Suggest your indie game challenges below!

@IanHigton Already installed. Hope to try it out tonight

@James_Batchelor Pistol Whip!

Ooooh. Recommendations please! (Nothing horror, cos I'm a wuss)

@kroniksan Half-Life Alyx! How did i forget about that?

@James_Batchelor Walkabout Minigolf, Demeo, HL:Alyx, Pistol Whip

@BaldBreens Noted, will give Virtual Desktop a look. And Resi... maybe...

@James_Batchelor I promise you Resident Evil 4 VR isn't actually horror... it is however incredible. Best game that runs on the headset for me by far. Side note, if you have a decent Wifi network, Virtual Desktop is the best wireless PC streaming solution for PC VR games.

It's the final day of the #SteamSpringSale! Are you in the mood for brutal bullet heaven or devious social deduction? Either way, the Bandidos have got you covered!

Help our friends reach their next milestone. bit.ly/WishlistRestha…

Calling it now: the third movie will have so many crossovers, it will essentially be The Super Mario Smash Bros. Movie

Back on Metroid Prime 4, and struggling with the Volvagia-style boss. Switching to mouse controls is helping (a little) but makes me wonder how Switch 1 owners are handling this precise aiming stuff

Sending out 'Save The Date' emails for the final preview build of Froggy Hates Snow (shout if you're interested) Trying to keep track of who I have and haven't contacted, but *really* didn't think the abbreviation through...
