For the Pokemon players, March is the Celebi distribution event.
This time you don't have to go to ebgames at 9am otherwise pray to Primus that they have some later, you just need to go to mystery gift at the start menu and download from the internet.
They really should always do it this way, puts a stop to all the scumbag scalpers and no one has to miss out. Yay!

Much better. Took me five stores to find a Mew last month. On the positive side getting the game out made me start playing Omega Ruby again after it got neglected for a while.

ok finished stick of truth, it was brilliant. not sure what to go for next on my list. maybe the monkey island games to keep going with comedy

I finished Wolfenstein New Order and have gone back to South Park The Stick Of Truth. It's hilarious, I don't know why I let myself get distracted and left it for so long.

One of my favourite games. Sends up the whole genre so well, yet it's also a really good, involved game.

Yay for the internet downloadable content!

Bought Pokemon Yellow as well, no idea when I'll get a chance to play it, but I played through red about a dozen times while in high school, so hopefully my memory jogs a bit and I can breeze through.

I am getting lazy, I bought Yellow as it is the easiest way to get all three starters.

I got my start as a Pokemon Trainer with Yellow but not sure I could go back and play first gen again though.

Hopefully they've removed the "There is already a save file. Are you sure you want to overwrite?" prompt.

The game has far too many prompts. Even in the latest games, I wish there was a way to turn off the confirmation prompts for "Do you want to give a nickname for the Pokemon you just caught" (no I never do!) and the "Are you sure you want to give up learning X move" prompts" (Yes I'm sure I don't want that move).

They haven't. The games are 99.9% unchanged from the originals, they even still have missingno and the mew glitch in them

[Paulbot]

That's probably a good thing for the fans that want to play the original games again - but I'm happy to stick to the newer ones and remember fondly playing Yellow back in my Uni days.

Hunting down that Mew!

Bad thing is that the TM's are back to single use only. Means I have to be careful what I teach my Mew!

The SteamVR has made everything else look obsolete. It detects your physical movements like arms and leg motion and instead of using a PS4/XBox controller, you have dedicated hand grips that help you interact with the world in a more natural way.

I was blown away by just the act of stepping closer to the edge and and reaching out to touch the whale. To me, Oculus and Sony VR are merely supplanting the TV and camera controls with a VR headset. SteamVR seems to be more forward thinking of what can be done with the technology when it comes to immersion.
