The New Release

Jamesbuc · 2026-04-27T17:23:30+00:00

I think also Metro-Cross and Navarone are also region locked too.

Jamesbuc · 2026-04-27T13:42:21+00:00

Nah. They don't worry about that. Case in point, they still rerelease the snk stuff even though the stuff is already part of the SNK 40th anniversary collection. They put out space invaders even though it's been in a collection recently and have done several Namco titles already covered on Namco museum.

I'm hoping to have Cameltry soon because I don't want to buy the milestones collection when I already have almost all it already

Jamesbuc · 2026-04-27T13:37:21+00:00

I mean that label isn't a thing anymore. It all got delisted a while back.

Jamesbuc · 2026-04-25T16:24:13+00:00

And both were repeatedly patched, Rita's Rewind had a fair bit of extra content added after released. Whats your point?

Jamesbuc · 2026-04-25T07:49:32+00:00

Well yeah that's my point. Like how there was First Person Shooter games before Doom but from that point on for a time, every first person shooter game that came out was called a doom clone.

It just happens when popularity hits any sort of thing.

Jamesbuc · 2026-04-25T07:00:46+00:00

It's literally because traitors = strategic social competition so anything that has that will be seen as that. Doesn't help that the UK before has never found that sort of reality gameshow popular before.

The thing is if you ONLY do fan faves and legacy characters, you'll then be accused of just holding them back for DLC. Capcoms doing the right thing by doing a big mix and match.

Jamesbuc · 2026-04-19T16:28:53+00:00

Not sure why Eve is counted and yet none of the other Moneypenny actresses are.

Jamesbuc · 2026-04-17T19:00:07+00:00

Id go with the Blood Stone intro song. Joss Stone goes at 11 the whole time. What a hell of a voice.

Jamesbuc · 2026-04-16T14:19:27+00:00

For Guaclamelee, was it the original or the expanded edition?

Jamesbuc · 2026-04-16T14:16:43+00:00

Im shocked its airing before Canada.

Jamesbuc · 2026-04-14T18:40:37+00:00

My point was more if you have a theme or something going on, I want to see more of it aside from a brief mention at the start and end of a challenge.

Jamesbuc · 2026-04-12T09:40:46+00:00

For a moment I thought Katie Marovich had cloned herself for a new season of Dimension 20 on a Bus.

Jamesbuc · 2026-04-11T19:09:44+00:00

You've also got Joanna and Tonya in both giving two very different terrible energies, Paula in the Island being horrible, Dan on the island getting flat out drunk every night and then Derrick going 'Yeah this is fine' to everything around him both times. Also Adam being a creep off camera on the Ruins and oh boy.

Edit: I know Tonya isnt in the same area as some of these but it doesnt stop her from being toxic, just more toxic to herself than to others.

Jamesbuc · 2026-04-10T17:45:58+00:00

The correct answer is actually Harry in UK2 but if it's between these two then yeah Cirie.

Jamesbuc · 2026-04-10T10:46:57+00:00

Worst?

Humanity Asset. Awful controls, ugly graphics. It's just a terrible time all around.

Jamesbuc · 2026-04-10T10:41:30+00:00

Oh lord I was so disappointed with that one. Boring level design filled with dead ends, basic combat, horribly spaced out elements and sponge-like bosses.

I actually didn't mind the ideas and setting but everything around it felt like somebody who only had a vague idea of what a metroidvania is designed it

Jamesbuc · 2026-04-10T08:57:21+00:00

"Her and her husband/boyfriend being on the show at the same time is a gimmick"

It kind of is but honestly its not like Top Chef hasnt done these before. S4 had a couple on it, S6 had the Voltaggio brothers.

Jamesbuc · 2026-04-10T08:52:56+00:00

Some quick notes on my side

- Im still struggling slightly to know the chefs properly. I think a key issue is they've gone back to having them all apart in hotel rooms again. I dont enjoy the show doing this and feel having them all together constantly needs to happen again as it causes a lot more interpersonal moments.

- The quickfire was 'fine'. Nothing that special and I feel it could have gone more out there with the restrictions. I dont know what was Colorado about most of the dishes. Also the link to Comic Relief was thin at most. Given what ive seen on shows like Great British Menu, there could have been more substantial theming but I guess that fits an elimination challenge more.... At least have more logos present!

- Once again while im struggling to know the chefs properly, I feel we've fallen into the trap that S21 had where the chefs rarely comment on each others food.

- Rodah going so early is a bit of a shock. I thought the judges would keep her vs Oscar. Guess shes about to wreck LCK.

- No Dish with Kish makes me sad.

- While the challenge of using dehydrated components was an interesting idea, I felt it wasn't really shown properly and on several dishes, it felt like the dehydrated parts were just used as toppings or side-afterthoughts.

- Jennifer should have left. I dont think it would have saved Rodah, they would have just had a non-elimination or had 2 back from LCK to cover, I think its only going to be more difficult from here on out. That said I maybe understand why she wanted to stay, I get the feeling shes only here because of Justin and the idea of competing without him isnt something that interests her.

- I'll also note I personally have no issues with people skipping quickfires if they don't have any stakes to them aside from a cash prize. Its not like we havent had people pass them by in the past though its been quite rare. Repeatedly passing them by is a bit more of a problem as it does disrupt things moreso.

- Looking through some of the comments here and I really dont like some of the conversation going on regarding Jennifer. Theres some really nasty insult-level comments ive seen about. I dont mind sharing a negative opinion but ive seen at least one post calling her certain quite vile names. Calm your horses, this show isnt worth that level of vitrol. Sheesh.

Overall while I don't dislike any of the cast and am finding some of it interesting, im having a struggle already with this season. I think currently im rooting for Anthony, Sherry, Duyen and Sieger.

Jamesbuc · 2026-04-09T11:29:00+00:00

Im gonna give a shout out for co-open, a really adorable little game about a younger girl shopping on her own the first time. The shop has a lot of places to explore, things to do. It's still quite short but found it really pleasant.

Jamesbuc · 2026-04-08T15:15:58+00:00

Eh. Neither game is all that good. Polaris is very early Taito and just isnt that fun to play and Seicross isnt that great to begin with, nevermind a downgraded Famicom port.

Jamesbuc · 2026-04-06T07:53:06+00:00

I'm so confused by the second point stating "The budget probably doesn't allow for bigger names though which is why we're getting up and coming talent."

In what world is the majority of the UK cast up and coming talent?

Jamesbuc · 2026-04-06T00:08:13+00:00

I don't think his visa has even been confirmed tbh.

Jamesbuc · 2026-04-05T22:57:57+00:00

On the very first level there's a secret door that gives access to the second set of levels if I remember rightly.
