Switch Funday - Splatoon 3 - Tableturf Battle

Welcome to Switch Funday.
This video focuses on the final part of Splatoon 3 that i had yet to play, Tableturf Battle.

Simply put, Tableturf Battle is a card game that's in Splatoon 3 that has the same goal as Turf War, ink the most. This is done very differently from Turf War as this card game has some unique rules. I'm not a card gamer so i don't know how good a card game it is, but for me personally it's not one i'd go into the game to play. If it was a part of Splatnet 3, then i might play on the go on my phone. but if i'm playing the game, i'm playing one of the other game modes.

Online Saturday - Splatoon 3 - Getting October's Salmon Run Item and Levelling Up

Welcome to Online Saturday. This Saturday I'm back playing Splatoon 3. The focus of this video is to get October's exclusive item. as i got it very early in the video, my next goal was to level up. Iin the end, i managed to get this month's exclusive item twice, with the second one being better than the first.

As ever with Salmon Run, i tried out a few different weapons for the first time as well as a stage i hadn't played on before. There were some real close runs, and i even lost a couple. It's an intense and yet enjoyable hour of Splatoon 3.

Mobile Friday - Marvel Snap - The First Hour

Today is Mobile Friday and i'm playing Marvel Snap.
The game is out on iOS, Android, and Steam. 
But i'll be playing the iOS version.
I am playing on an iPhone 14 Pro that has iOS 16.1 installed.

This is a new game that has gained instant popularity. I've even seen ads for it here in Japan. This is the first Mobile Friday with my new iPhone 14 Pro, so as well as talking about how hot the phone gets i also talk about how the Island gets in the way of things...how the game hasn't been designed around the Island.

Backlog Conquering - Rain - The Fourth and Final Part

I Accidently used my laptop's mic to record this video, so it sounds different to any of my recent videos.

This is the fourth and final video in my playthrough of Rain on PS3. In this video i play through the final couple of chapters of the game. i don't go on to play through the memory collecting mode.

The game continues to play well. the main issue with controls is my own controller which is suffering with stick drift. The graphics continue to impress. there were moments which had an almost cinematic feel to them. the contrast of the city in the previous video compared to this was stark and it looked great when it came back.

This will be the final video in this series. If i plan on getting extra trophies, there is no platinum, i won't be recording it.

Backlog Conquering - Rain - The Third Part

Welcome to Backlog Conquering.
This is the third video for Rain. Like Part 2, this video is less than an hour and sees me playing from Chapter 4 to the start of Chapter 6.

The game continues to play well. the main issue with controls is my own controller which is suffering with stick drift. The graphics continue to impress. there were moments which had an almost cinematic feel to them. a memorable highlight was walking along the side of a bride.

Puzzle and Dragons Tuesday - Puzzle and Dragons: Nintendo Switch Edition - Halloween Cup 1 - Achievement Run

Welcome to Puzzle & Dragons Tuesday! Sit back and either watch me play through, with no commentary, the cup or leave it running in the background as BGM!

I play and earn all the achievements from the Halloween Cup 1! (10/23 5PM - 10/30 4:59PM (PDT)) in Puzzle & Dragons: Nintendo Switch Edition whilst using a GamePad and my Nintendo Switch is Docked.

This is maybe my shortest video yet in this series. There wasn't really a specific gimmick this time, but i think a match 6 gave a bonus. This video starts with a win and there's another win, too. like the previous videos, there weren't many other players when i did the achievement run.

Cloud Monday - Lost Planet - Part 1 - A Rough Streaming Experience

In today's Cloud Monday, I'm playing the PS3 version of Lost Planet. I play through to the start of the second mission, so for about an hour. I had previously played a lot of the multiplayer on Xbox 360, so some parts of the experience were familiar. But it was soo long ago that for the most part i was relearning about it.

As for the streaming experience, well the title says it all. this was the most demanding game for a streaming service i've played so far. this includes for me personally when it was PlayStation Now. Throughout the video you'll see macro blocking and other similar errors. for the most part it's annoying at worst. but there are times when it impacts the gameplay. But, that could just be due to internet conditions today. so, to give it a fair go, i'll do another mission or two next week and talk about if there are any differences between the two experiences with the game.
