I haven't finished Clair Obscure yet so I'm trying to avoid spoilers  ???  But honestly I bought the game based mostly on the music in the trailer being top tier, and it's a great game so far so I understand why it won so many awards.

I'm necro bumping this post.  Go figure.. I haven't done the mod yet and my soldering iron sits unused lol.  ???   I need to find a kit and resurrect my Turbo Express...  So many things left untied right now.

@retro junkie --> Did you resurrect yours?

@targetrasp --> The console5 link is still good to go.  That's a pretty cool website.

Quote from: retro junkie on December 10, 2025, 05:37:02 PM@BLUEVOODU you know, I remember having this game on another console. Was it PS2? I think I have it for the PS2. But it would be good to have on the Switch.

@retro junkie I believe I have it for the Wii as well.  It might have been #3 or #1... I'm pretty sure I have one of them for the Wii.  Confirmed - it was Castle of Shikigami 3!  It is a pretty great bullet hell game lol.

Great price on this one... I'll be shocked if it doesn't disappear like so many other games of today and their limited releases.

Here are the trailers for the new Tomb Raider games.

TR: Legacy of Atlantis is another remake of the very first game from 1996.

TR: Catalyst appears to be some type of sequel. Not sure where it falls canonically but seems to reference both the original series and the latest Crystal Dynamic series. We'll see what it turns out to be.

I figured since this is a video game forum, we should probably have a video game awards topic.  ;)

Clair Obscure Expidition 33 seems to be running away with a lot of awards, as people predicted. Lots of new announcements. The new Tomb Raider games are intriguing me but not sure if any other upcoming games are enticing me.

I used to buy games that were critic darlings (Heavy Rain and Hades for example) when they were on sale because surely if so many people love it, I will love it (obviously that is not true at all lol). I saved a little money buying them on sale but I would have saved more not buying them at all. I never did play Heavy Rain, and didn't quite enjoy Hades when I played it.

This is why I'm so picky about games now tbh. I will watch Let's Plays to see if I would vibe with the game and then decide from there.

The last few things I've bought have been spread out over the year but since it's not much I can remember it  :D

I got steelbox Blu-rays of The Last Unicorn and the first part of Frieran.

For music I bought the CD Kpop Demon Hunters soundtrack.

The Kpop Demon Hunters soundtrack hasn't left my car since I put it in there in August. It was also my top album on Spotify Wrapped for 2025.

So I'm not actually sure what all is changing with the remodel outside of my department. And also, apparel is getting mannequins and furniture is probably getting actual displays. So I think other departments are taking some of our space rather than entertainment getting anything different. So we're just getting rid of a lot of physical media but not replacing it with something else entertainment related. Our book section is also going from like 5 aisles to one. In my area we're the last store to still have as much physical media as we do so I guess it's just not selling the way it used to.

It's on my "I would like to play it but it might be a few years before it happens" list  ;)
