I've tried playing this - it doesn't seem like anything happens when you press the advance time step or generation buttons?

This looks great! The happy accident of the music from your earlier video fits well to ambient exploring music to me, is that the sort of music you'd want to have in ideally?

I love the bright colours! It looks like you went with only letting one star affect the trajectory at a time then?

This idea looks great! I love games which play about with orbits and orbital mechanics. Was the gravitational system difficult to come up with?

It's a well known fact that high-powered Business People have too much to do to look up from their phones. By utilising the Power Of The Cloud, a new tart-up uses hi-tech AI to steer phone users as they walk to ensure they avoid lampposts, other pedestrians, and the like. It is set to revolutionise how people move around and save many lives from minor walking related injuries. However, actually creating an AI to steer people around was too complicated. The cheaper and easier solution was to hire someone to watch as Important Business People walk around and manually steer them away from each other. In this game, you will play one of these operators, guiding users to their correct destination without causing them to walk into the surroundings or each other. I am envisaging this being a top-down 2D Flight Control type game, where the player has to guide phone users to their correct destinations. I've played about with Unity a bit in the past and might do so again but I have very little game dev experience so I am open to trying out other things. I saw LÖVE suggested somewhere else and that looks relatively simple to use so that is also tempting. I'm also not sure how much time I'll be able to put in between family Christmas things and the work I should be doing for university, but I'm hoping this should be a good diversion!

The Grillers in Salmon Run are super tough, I've probably only survived about 1 in 3 rounds where they've shown up. Does anyone have any good strategies on how to deal with them? I've got into a groove with the Aerospray MG. The super for that weapon is so strong in quickly covering an area with loads of ink.

Yeah I managed to figure it out, it just required changing the country of residence on my Nintendo account. I enjoyed it as a first taste of Splatoon, having not played the original, but I don't know how much I would play it for it to be worth buying. A friend is also trying to persuade me to get Arms which is kinda tempting but I can't afford both! It feels like the Switch will be in a fairly solid position.

It's possible to play in multiple Splatfests? I'm working this evening so thought I was going to miss the European one, so I'd be pretty stoked to be able to give Splatoon 2 a go if its possible.

This seems to contradict this article from around when the Switch was released: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2017-03-10-why-nintendo-switch-games-are-ending-up-more-expensive This seems to say that all Switch games that have a physical and digital release are more expensive, as Nintendo don't want to undercut the prices for retail stores. Has this already changed? When I looked at the price of Puyo Puyo Tetris, it was £5 cheaper digitally than physically. That's still £15-£20 more expensive than the PS4 price though. I'm getting excited about Mario Kart as well - it'll be good to have a game I can multiplayer, although I am nowhere near finished with Zelda yet!

A friend of mine often insisted on using a scale from -10 to 10 for rating things so that a 'normal' or average experience would be a 0, and everything was rated relative to that. I guess you end up with the same difficulties, instead it's about what a 0 is on that scale.

I missed when it aired here in the UK, so I've just watched the whole season online instead. I agree with the inscrutable nature of the show, it was one of the things that kept me watching throughout. I look forward to discussing more once more episodes have aired in the States! Another thing that I enjoy about the series are the scenic shots of 'normal' life on the Vatican. The peaceful shots of nuns playing in the garden seems at such odds with the nature of the intrigue often going on.

Great, thanks! I was interested in taking part, but I was busy at the time and I haven't played much Overwatch at all. I'd be up for giving it a go if it was to happy again, though!

Are there any twitch archives for the previous tournament?

Is the high price of the games due to the fact they're on a cart as opposed to a disc? I remember seeing an article a few months ago when it was rumoured that carts would be used and it said that they would be more expensive to manufacture than discs.

I remember Time Commanders! The original series came out before the first Rome:Total War. From what I can recall, it had random groups of people (like families or groups of friends and coworkers) re-fighting a historical battle. They would split into a 'tactical' group, who would stand at a big table with the map so they could do planning and things, and then others who would relay the commands they wanted to happen to people who were using the computers. Every now and again you would get a glimpse of the screens and it was clearly just a Total War game. It was on TV around 6 months before the release of the actual game, I think, because I remember being excited at getting this little glimpse of what the game would be like on TV before I could actually get it.
