TGI Game Night made its return last night after a long hiatus, and of course we played some Smite. Smite 2 specifically, which feels like a remake of the original. Blast from the past! Thanks to all the patrons that joined us in game and in Discord.

While we're still waiting for additional details, the Nintendo Switch 2 launch looks strong. Available on June 5th with Mario Kart World available day one. Select Nintendo Switch games will have paid upgrades, GameCube support in Nintendo Switch Online. Plus a new Donkey Kong game in July!

Ryan Murphy @ryanmurphy.ca · 28/03/2025

That’s a wrap on Astro Bot! What a delightful game that feels like it would normally only be found on Nintendo platforms. Well done Team Asobi, looking forward to more Astro adventures in the future!

020

Ryan Murphy @ryanmurphy.ca · 25/03/2025

Yes! The power ups are very cool, and varied. I finished the game last night and can certainly see why it got GOTY. I found a few power ups I hadn’t seen in the main game when I did the holiday level. My favourite was a mouse related power up. :)

Finished up Avowed, and was looking for a small title to fit in, so decided to finally start up Astro Bot. Game really clicked in the second area, some really creative power ups and mechanics. Definitely the closest experience to a Nintendo game on a non-Nintendo platform.

Opening area of the Downsize Surprise level in Astro Bot.

Ryan Murphy @ryanmurphy.ca · 22/02/2025

Started Avowed, and being a magic wielder has been a lot of fun! Grimoire and wand combo for access to advanced spells early on. Helps the game feel different from other RPG adventure games I’ve been playing lately. Oh, and Kai. Great first addition to the party!

Ryan Murphy @ryanmurphy.ca · 20/02/2025

Using the elements in combat and completing the epic encounters was a lot of fun. The encounters scale in complexity as the game progresses, making for some epic moments. (Video is one of the first epic encounters)

Ryan Murphy @ryanmurphy.ca · 20/02/2025

Finished up my time with Eternal Strands and thoroughly enjoyed this new adventure through the world of the Enclave. Be sure to check it out when you get a chance!

It’s awesome that Overcast has a wrap-up available! 2024 was a big podcast listening year for me. There’s a lot of @scottjohnson.zip here, along with @coverville.com and some extra tech, video games, and Conan to tie everything together.

No surprise that Fallout 4 took the most played spot, thanks to Amazon Prime’s Fallout TV show. Also, some Outer Wilds for TGI Game Club, which I very much enjoyed. Need to complete that DLC though! s.team/y24/cdrmdbb?...

Pretty quiet year for me and the family on Nintendo Switch. I didn’t think that would be the case at the start of the year, but I guess I want the Switch successor to arrive more than I thought. Come on Nintendo, announce the thing already!

Most played games of 2024 for Nintendo Switch were Paper Mario, Just Dance, and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Total of 4 games and 12 hours.

PlayStation wrap-up is here! 🎮 Once July hit, my PlayStation 5 became a Zenless Zone Zero machine. 😅 You can feel The Gamers’ Inn effect though, as The Last of Us Part I is there from TGI Game Club and I finished Final Fantasy XVI.

Indiana Jones has these super cool puzzle dungeons. They’re like the old-school Zelda dungeons, but the boss is a giant puzzle, a big set piece, or an investigation area that moves the story forward.

One of the many temples in Indiana Jones, puzzle dungeons ranging in size.

Ryan Murphy @ryanmurphy.ca · 12/12/2024

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is filled with these fun moments. Really enjoying the adventure so far.
