#SlazoCollection Day 360. It Only Did Everything! It’s fascinating to look back on the PS3, a platform that was essentially last its entire generation as Sony ate crow for a few years, because there were so many cool games and ideas that just got outshone at the time by the Wii and 360.

6 hours of coin flipping purgatory and chat supported Pokémon naming later, we got 10 heads and all 1025 Pokémon! Freedom tastes so sweet (and takeout-y).

What could be more spooky than flipping a coin and landing on tails? We're doing some Unfair Flips, and I'll name a Pokémon for each tails. Sure hope I finish the game before I ruin my Pokémaniac street cred... www.twitch.tv/slazoking

#SlazoCollection Day 359. Fairy Tail 1 & 2! Wait, hang on, anime tie-in games… that aren’t arena fighters? They’re actual JRPGs? Genuinely surprises me we don’t get more like this, I’d kill for a Bleach one.

Finished Call of the Night vol 7! Good volume, even if Viz's blurb was completely wrong. Though the Nazuna reveal opens up way more questions the series immediately walks away from. And a Dagashi Kashi bonus chapter! The closest we'll ever get to an official English translation of it, sadface.

#SlazoCollection Day 358. Miitopia! A Mini game on the 3DS was weird to me, though it felt like a logical next step after the good ol’ StreetPass games. Plus your ships never working out no matter how hard you tried was hilarious.

#SlazoCollection Day 357. Rem Nendoroid! Much like with Marin, I’ve not actually seen Re:Zero, so most of my experience of Rem is from clips and gacha crossovers like Princess Connect. But it’s a cool design, and always funny when the second girl becomes way more popular than the lead heroine.

#SlazoCollection Day 356. Digimon Story: Time Stranger! You can add this to the handful of games where a good demo has sold me on picking it up, as was probably evident when I streamed said demo last month. Plus Gomamon’s a starter which is an instant win.

#SlazoCollection Day 355. Medal of Honor: European Assault! It’s weird to think this used to be one of the big players in shooters and then just… ceased to be. I have recollections of renting this, but it was before TF2 and CoD4 got me into shooters, so I just bounced off it.

#SlazoCollection Day 354. Link Nendoroid! My second favourite Link design (don’t worry, numero uno will arrive sometime in the future), I really loved how in Breath of the Wild they managed to keep Link’s core appeal while moving away from the classic green tunic.

#SlazoCollection Day 353. Big Brain Academy: Brain vs Brain! I do remember being genuinely surprised Nintendo brought this franchise back from the halcyon DS days of Brain Training. Wish they’d actually expanded on it a bit more though…

Considering I was a bit iffy on streaming today or not, that Untitled Duc-I mean, Goose Game session went well. Thanks to everyone who showed up and hung out! 🥰

#SlazoCollection Day 352. Dissidia & 012 Duodecim Final Fantasy! Named by absolute crazy people. But this pair of games have such a staggering amount of depth and gameplay for handheld fighters. Amazing OST too. Shame they never made a third game. Never. Made. One.

#SlazoCollection Day 351. Marin Kitagawa Popup Parade! Dress Up Darling feels like one of those anime I’ve consumed via osmosis without actually having read or watched it. Enjoyed the clips and bits I’ve seen, hence getting this figure, but should really check out the actual series one day.

#SlazoCollection Day 350. Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask! Professor, I’ve solved it! Well, not this one, this is from the era where these games kept going and my 3DS was broken, but I will return to Layton one day, probably when the new one eventually releases.

#SlazoCollection Day 349. Turok Evolution! Despite being aware of the franchise since the N64 days, this is actually my first Turok game that I picked up just a month or two ago. …actually, thinking about it, despite loving dinosaurs I’ve played naff all games with them in…

Welp, those Game Pass changes mean I'm done with that service, which also means my Series X will essentially become a paperweight from now on 😂

Finished Call of the Night vol 6! Back to vampiric comedy hijinks, though it is bemusing to see them discover what a vampire's weakness is in this volume... then immediately start doing everything in their power to unearth it for each of them...

#SlazoCollection Day 348. Blade Nendoroid! I was surprised to see Blade get a Nendo, but I do like the Stellaron Hunters in Honkai, so picked this one up, because it’d be crazy if they only did Blade and not Silver Wolf or Kafka, right? …right?
