Pokemon Bank will still continue to work, but who knows how long that will last.

It’s devastating news for Pokemon fans looking to legitimately collect every Pokemon. You essentially need online functionality to obtain every Vivillon form in X/Y. Lack of Friend Safaris is also a devastating blow to anyone trying to complete the Pokedex without importing Pokemon from other games. I

'm going to miss Wonder Trading. That’s how Gen 6 became my most played generation.

The app advises you to turn your phone over so the screen is facing the bed. The screen turns off but the game is still running. It also advises you not to place your phone under a pillow or blanket to prevent overheating.

I think Xfire and Raptr utilized XMPP.

I think I remember the Giant Bomb crew discussing this game a few years ago. I’m surprised to see that it has not left Early Access. It must be the 3D Realms influence.

I’m holding out for the return of BonziBuddy.

I watched this a few days ago. The fix regarding the loading time when launching the game reminds me of my old university online portal that had a fixed load time of 5 seconds regardless of connection speed.

I’m looking forward to more videos about the progress of this project.

As long as the forums are easily searchable then this is a good move. It looks like the subreddit is in read-only mode so we haven’t lost any knowledge yet. That data should be preserved elsewhere, just in case the subreddit becomes unviewable.

Everyone should own a Harbor Freight Neon Dead Blow Hammer.

I top my popcorn with Lawry’s garlic salt. Tastes great on actual corn too.

Late night Uno sessions are a great way to pass the time. It’s a shame that Ubisoft’s version of the game doesn’t have cross-platform multiplayer.

For $4, I might have to double dip on Contra Anniversary Collection. It’s also on sale on Xbox for the same price.

Currently, it’s Forza Horizon 5.

All-time favorite would be Burnout Paradise. Some would even call it the game of the generation.

At least Xbox One support was longer than the original Xbox support after the 360 release.

@worfamerryman Yeah, you share the board. If you are looking for side-by-side Tetris without the garbage pieces, the mode you want is Score Attack which Tetris Effect has two variations of (Modern Tetris style with holds and classic NES style Tetris). You play until someone tops out and whoever has the most points wins.

I believe the Puyo Puyo Tetris games also have this mode and a bunch of other versus modes, but most of them lean into sending garbage pieces.

@worfamerryman Tetris Effect has a co-op mode and is one of the best versions of modern Tetris that you can get.

I played Grimace’s Birthday on my Analogue Pocket. It’s surprisingly decent. I wish there was a mode that focused on getting a big combo similar to the OlliOlli daily challenges.

I need to get around to finishing Hi-Fi rush. I did play through a couple of smaller surprise releases recently. McDonald’s dropped Grimace’s Birthday but that took all of 20 minutes. The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog was another one.

@small44 I’d really like to see a remake of Snoopy Flying Ace. It was a multiplayer game released on XBLA that plays similarly to Crimson Skies featuring Peanuts characters.
