CTR sure has great online, it definitely doesn't have any really annoying problems that they should be fixing instead of doing things like implementing microtransactions.

They're officially coming west!

My dad burst a blood vessel in his eye and he's never looked more like an anime villain.

The end of an era. I signed up for it just before they ended it. At least Wal-Mart seems to be selling games for cheaper.

Hey everybody, it's a new month, and that means a new Band of Bloggers theme. Take a deep breath, sink a little further into your chair, and take it easy as you read about the relaxing new prompt for the month.

I have all the PS4 Yakuza games physically, so I want to get the remasters when they release physically in February, but it will be hard to wait that long when I can play 3 now digitally.

So I bought DOOM for the Switch, begrudgingly made a Bethesda account and beat DOOM. After the patch that fixed the mandatory log in, I picked up DOOM 2, but somehow the game already knew my Bethesda account and logged me in automatically.

Galar Weezing has smokestack top hats and I suddenly don't even care about no national dex.

There's a little old lady at work that I haven't seen in a while because schedules change a lot during the summer months. I ran into her today and she got all happy to see me and gave me a big ol' hug and to be honest I really needed that.

There's an Oninaki demo out, and this is the first time after a demo ends and it asks if you want to go preorder the game that I said yes, let me buy this now.

I just stumbled into the bad ending of Bloodstained. It was very... abrupt.

I've finally beaten Ocarina of Time, the heresy has been corrected.

My AC broke, current status:

S-so, the big evil spirit that burned Kakariko village and tossed Sheik across town, the master of the Shadow Temple, filled with horrific death traps and a dead hand, is a drum playing hand monster called Bongo Bongo?

As a youngster I could never beat the Water Temple in OoT. Today I finally beat it. It was easier than I was expecting, but not being 7 probably helped a lot. Won't be long before OoT is finally free from my backlog.

My band of bloggers blog will go up just in time. It might be a bit different from my usual blogs, and it's definitely not because I didn't really have any games that fit the theme. Definitely not.

CTR's online is working just fine, why do you ask?

If Banjo's neutral B is Kazooie's egg puke, does that mean that Kirby will get his own Kazooie when he absorbs them?

Super Butter Buns getting in on the Band of Bloggers action.

After about 205 hours, I've unlocked every weapon in the game and can now start powering up the Master Sword.

I played the fan translation of Seiken Densetsu 3 (Trials of Mana) so many times when I was younger. It's honestly one of my favorite SNES games, and being able to play it officially on my Switch is almost unreal.

Aonuma is saying that Breath of the Wild 2 is going to be darker than Majora's Mask.

It all makes sense!

Why can't I buy the Mana Collection yet?

This was the best thing to happen today.

I'm prepared to be very disappointed when they don't do something ridiculous with Dynamax Wailord.

These are the Steam System Requirements for Spongebob Rehydrated.

So I know I'm 100% the target audience for it, but I've been having a great time with the Code Vein test. Definitely going to pick it up whenever it decides to come out.

I have also written a blog for this month's Band of Bloggers. I wrote about movie monsters and a game series that loves them, so definitely check it out, especially if you are prone to randomly shouting EDF!

Death Stranding is doing a livestream right now, but it's not showing much yet, mostly just teasing that tomorrow will have a big reveal. https://www.twitch.tv/playstation
