This has been the best mobile release of the year for me. Phone games are mostly dumb, but Downwell is so damn good that I paid the devs twice by buying on Steam as well.

I've been quite happy with Steam Link so far. I've used it with Firewatch, The Witness and Broforce and everything works just great. Well, especially after I did a minimal upgrade on cpu, memory and gpu.

Damn, I really had to fight to find the Star Fox First Print edition in Finnish shops, but I finally managed to find it available in one shop for not a ripoff price. Can't wait, next month is going to be fun. The controlling sounds interesting and will propably take some learning, but I trust Miyamoto has solved the issues with it that some people reported earlier in the gameplay demo sessions. This month the My Nintendo thing is supposed to start. Lets see what that will be about. Finally they at least included Finland in to that for the first time so that's great. We were never part of Club Nintendo for example even though we got the point cards with some games.

I recently completed Nihilumbra on PS Vita. Quite nice platformer, short enough so that even I managed to get through it. It had some really nice and clever puzzles. I suppose I would need to complete the "New Game+" Void mode still to really 100% complete the game. Next I hope to be tackling Firewatch, The Witness and the rest of around 1500 games in my backlog...

Hooray for humanity!

Yes, I heard today that they will play the remaining two games as well so looks like it's going to be a beatdown 5-0.

AI beating the crap out of the human 3-0. http://www.theverge.com/2016/3/12/11210650/alphago-deepmind-go-match-3-result Crazy that Google is owning this AI company and the Boston robot company etc. Going to be fun times when Google goes full Skynet on us.

Third Finnish guy to the map, wawazat! E: or at least I hope it shows up, I filled all the details

So the game did still get voice acting in the end even though that was some stretch goal that they didn't reach?

Amazon Japan sends also some game stuff abroad now starting this week. You might be able to get 3DS covers also from there.

I'm still hitting myself because I didn't get the Idle Vice shirt when it was still available in good sizes... :-( Also it's starting to look like I may need buy just in case again The Original and The Wizard because damn I've been using those shirts A LOT and it's starting to show. I was going to buy also a shirt from the Campo Santo store, but the shipping costs were a bit ridiculous to Finland, but I think the Idle Thumbs shop uses at least the same interface so are the costs now the same or have I just forgotten how much I paid for the shipping of The Wizard shirt when it was released?

Pre-order is live at gog.com https://www.gog.com/game/day_of_the_tentacle_remastered BOUGHT! I'm going to be nuts and buy this also on PS Vita, just like I did with Grim Fandango a year ago. E: Interesting thing is that they apparently changed the name from Special edition to Grim style Remastered in the end.

I don't think they will add GBA since they stubbornly claim that GBA is only for the 3DS ambassadors.

Now that is great news to read.

So, BG&E2 saved by Nintendo? Now that would be a blast at the E3 stage when NX is revealed. http://www.destructoid.com/rumor-nintendo-funding-beyond-good-and-evil-sequel-346059.phtml

I also bought Twilight Princess. Had to get the limited edition when I saw it in a shop today. I got a slight amiibo craziness in my head. Never played Twilight Princess before, I hope it will be a wild ride.

It just pisses me off how much Microsoft is ruining what could be beautiful on PC. I understand that they are trying to force through their shitty Win10 shop interface or whatever, but why not just release all the Xbox games normally for Win7/8/10? I heard even the Forza Win10 gimped version is some shitty port that doesn't support wheels or SLI, forces v-sync on, doesn't even have multiplayer apparently. Looks like I'll never get to play Quantum Break, but it doesn't matter that much. It looks like in the trailers and gameplay videos the most boring, generic and bland Remedy game so far so it won't be a huge issue for it to be the first Remedy game I won't play. I just hope that Alan Wake 2 comes properly to PC since Remedy owns the AW IP.

I sent friend requests to some I had not done earlier. I have a PS3 and Vita and a random amount of games. I do have PS+!

I've added recently a bunch of people (Hermii, SquidDivision, Mington, Henroid, RyanJW, graddy) I had missed earlier. Hopefully everyone uses their consoles and notices the friend requests.

Gunpoint is one of the rare games that I started playing immediately when it was released. Read a lot about it during development through RPS and I loved every second of playing Gunpoint. Really well done game and it was a really tight package. Even has that appeal that you want to play it more than one times to see the whole story get uncovered. Tom Francis can be proud of what he created and I hope the game has sold enough well as he surely deserves it.

I think I might get it, but when all episodes are out and the eventual discount comes, maybe in summer sale. I still haven't finished the second season yet, it's on hold for me... I love the idea that they are taking the comic book world for this miniseries and not the video game continuity or the crappy tv show.

Last Night's Nintendo Direct was awesome. I really have to say that these are the kind of reasons why Nintendo is these days for me what Sega used to be 20-25 years ago. So much fun and joy. Satoru Shibata is hilarious and always not afraid to have fun and make a fool of himself a bit. https://twitter.com/NintendoEurope/status/705536849574387712

Updated my details regarding 3DS friend code. Don't know if there are changes ahead because of the upcoming Nintendo Account. Friend list management on Nintendo platforms is supposed to become easier according to some Nintendo presentation slides that I saw.

So yeah, Sony produces Kojima's next game, Andrew House speaks Japanese very nicely and badaboom, the morning starts with a bang. Now the only questions are, will he continue making his own old stuff with a changed name, or will he actually be one of the first Japanese developers in a new production company that makes something new. Here's looking at you Itagaki and Inafune. And will there be a PC version of whatever he does?

Sony's X days of Christmas deals at least in Europe look like some weird joke.
