Toripon (PC): COMPLETED!

Posted on 19/12/2019 Written by deKay

You have to find and take photos of all the birds in a flat. I found, and took photos of, all the birds in a flat. And some other things, some of which it seems you need to take photos of in order to unlock more birds.

I’m not sure what else there is to say about Toripon. You can get a copy here if you too want to find, and take photos of, all the birds in a flat: https://theladyvictoria.itch.io/toripon

This one had a knife.

30: Ryo’s Dirty Pocket

Posted on 18/12/2019 Written by deKay Leave a Comment

It’s Christmas and so we’ve a Christmas episode. Which isn’t very festive. But it only needs to be at Christmas to be Christmassy, right? Right.

This episode, deKay, Kendrick, Toby and Zo somehow manage to talk about things which aren’t Shenmue III (which was harder than it sounds), including the Xbox X Series XX X One X, Sony’s Back Button, how well that Stadia thing went down, Gamestop stop, and all of these games (none of which are very Christmassy but at least two of them have snow):

  • Shenmue III
  • Yakuza 7
  • Pokémon Sword
  • Celeste
  • Life is Strange 2
  • Black Mesa
  • Carrion
  • Sea of Thieves
  • Dance Dance Revolution Ace Twenty
  • Time Crisis 5
  • Street Fighter V

And then we impart all of the wisdom in a section we’re definitely not calling Listener Questions.

P.S. Kendrick says to leave some comments in, well, in the comments.

Pokémon Sword (Switch): COMPLETED!

Posted on 15/12/2019 Written by deKay

It’s another Pokémon game, and yes, it’s very much like all the others. In fact, it’s probably more like the slightly older games, like X and Y, rather than Sun and Moon as it returns to the gym setup those games had and Sun/Moon ditched.

What is different, is that there’s a new Wild Area, er, area. This massive (for a pokémon game) part of the map is full of wild pokémon which change depending on where in the area you are, and the current weather. There are also dens here and there with giant pokémon in them which you can battle and catch not completely unlike the raids in Pokémon Go.

The other difference, is that it’s the first mainline game in the series to not include all the previous pokémon in the Pokédex. I don’t know how many are missing, but there are still hundreds available plus all the new ones that have been added. Frankly, I don’t really care but I know there are grown adults on the internet who have taken offence to this because it’s the internet.

I’d seen that the game was very short, with some people completing it on launch day in under 8 hours. So imagine my surprise when I got to the game’s credits after just 51 hours. And I’d not spent forever training pokémon or “catching them all” or anything like that. Sure, I didn’t just stick to the story, but then why would you? Plus there’s a new story that opens up after you’ve finished the game, although I don’t know how long that is yet, I admit.

The important thing is that I really enjoyed the game, like the new quality of life features (you can now swap pokémon in and out of your box pretty anywhere, for example), and the “Britain but not” Galar region setting is funny. Other than that, it’s more pokémon, with nothing to really change your mind either way if you’re a fan of the games or not.

Rolling Thunder 2 (MD): COMPLETED!

Posted on 11/11/2019 Written by deKay

I’m not sure I’ve ever played this before, but I was always a big fan of the original game in the arcades. I was a little worried it wouldn’t be any good, because of both being a sequel and the passage of time, but I needn’t have worried – it was excellent.

It is, of course, more of the two-layer, door-entering, duck-and-shooting that the original was, and it played well despite being pretty difficult. You see, as well as having to contend with all the baddies, and the holes in the floor, you’ve only got a limited amount of ammo for your gun and there’s a pretty tight time limit on each level.

Then there’s the final boss, which was especially tricky as it’s a one-hit death for you, and a million-hit death for him, and you’re pretty much forced to use all your ammo on the frantic lift ride on the way to reach him. No bullets means your gun can only fire one shot at a time, making him especially difficult to take down. But, eventually, I did.
