The bomb? It’s-a-not Luigi. That means it is in fact your turn now, nickmitch.

Yet another safe choice. Things are starting to wind down. Luigi Dude, can you keep that streak going?

A very logical choice. BeautifulShy is safe. We're halfway through the order and nobody's chosen the bomb yet. Getting nervous, Khush? Now it's time for TOPHATANT123 to choose.

The coin flip went Stratos' way. BeautifulShy, it's now up to you.

Did the bomb go off? No, all I hear is the sound of silence. Now it's up to Stratos.

The bomb was coming toward you, but it missed wide right. MASB, now it's up to you.

Unlike Andy's sitcoms, you did not bomb. Mop it up,  the choice is yours.

I sent ShyGuy an invite, so either he didn't see it or he's not interested. I'll probably go ahead and start, as Khush said this is a pretty normal amount.

2. Mario & Rabbids: Kingdom Battle

This was on my list of games I wanted to do in last year's Backlaugust, and then I didn't, and picked away at it over the last year, but now that the sequel's coming out I figured now was the time. I don't know why it took this long, because I love this game. It's one of my favorite Switch exclusives. When you hear "Mario and Rabbids" you'd think shovelware cash-in, but it's somehow a really well made strategy game. Can't wait for the sequel.

1. Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze: I was pretty close to the end of this so I figured it'd be a good choice to kick off the month. Platformers are probably my favorite genres of games and this game is one of the best of them I've ever played. It gets challenging, but at least to me never felt cheap, which is a tough line to walk.

Yeah, it had just been a little while since we had one and I didn't think anyone had established a plan for what was next. I just came up with the theme and thought it would be a good way to liven up the forums.

Having played Safe Words on these forums over the years, one of the key things I've learned is that being second is as good as, or in many cases even better than finishing first. That inspired me to host the game for the first time with a simple theme of celebrating the true heroes in our world, the sidekicks and runners up who make everything possible.

Sign ups are open now, and if we can get enough people I intend to start the game Monday, August 8.

I want to really go for this this year, though I'm a little ashamed that some of the games I want to knock out are things I said I wanted to get done last year.

Movies & TV / Re: All Things Netflix! Soon to be found on another Network near you?

« on: July 19, 2022, 09:14:54 PM »

Netflix is the most expensive of the major streaming services, and its lineup compares less and less favorably as time goes on. It feels like they're kind of coasting on the inertia they had from getting to the market first and don't really have a good idea of what to do now.

• Pokémon Stadium Don't think so, but HAL made it so it'd be a choice, not a legal issue.
• Pokémon Stadium 2 Don't think so, but HAL made it so it'd be a choice, not a legal issue.

The Pokémon Stadium games could be interesting. The big draw of those games was being able to connect the GameBoy games to the console. Though there are things you can do without the connectivity. There's also the possibility of connecting the game with Pokémon Home, which seems like it'd be a lot of work that Game Freak wouldn't want to do.

If they wanted to get really ambitious they could add Game Boy games to the service and let you transfer Pokémon from those to Stadium.[/list]

Disney just greenlit a series for Disney+ based on the premise raised by this thread.

I couldn't decide which one to go with so I took a cue from Mop it up and selected one randomly, and it did me just as much good as it did her.

Also, it would be nice to get PilotWings 64, which for some reason was never on the Virtual Console on Wii or Wii U.

If they're going to add more Rare games I would love to see Perfect Dark. On a different note, Harvest Moon 64, which I believe was on the Wii U Virtual Console, would be nice.

Paramount+ was going to be my choice since I just started watching Star Trek: Lower Decks which I'm enjoying, but Khush had to ruin that with his negativity. I suppose I'll have to settle for the home of the best non-Star Trek sci-fi show, The Expanse, on Amazon Prime Video.

One of the first things I bought when I got my Xbox 360 14 years ago, and really one of the reasons I wanted the system in the first place, was Mass Effect. It really seemed like a game designed specifically for me with its big sci-fi story. So anyway, I'm finally getting around to playing it now, two console generations later after buying it again via the recent remaster, and I'm really enjoying it. Probably should have done this sooner.

I am subscribed to Apple TV+ but it's not the last one I used, since that particular one has already been eliminated.

I meant it's the last one I used in real life, earlier today.

Yikes! How many streaming services do you subscribe to?

Probably too many, but at least it's helping me in this game!
