Reviews Onechanbara Bikini Samurai Squad on Xbox 360 and Onechanbara Bikini Zombie Slayers on Wii from GamesMaster 210 - April 2009 (UK)

@OutofPrintArchive I remember picking this up for the Xbox 360.

I thought I was going to be getting something of a guilty pleasure. At worst, something that might be so bad it's good, but nope! It was just plain bad.

I know the game has its fans but I did not enjoy the level design. I have never liked the ''walled off areas'' ''kill all the enemies'' level design.

I'd still like to try the Wii version at some point.

The #Turok remaster is really trying my patience.

It's not necessarily a fault of the remaster as much as it is the original game design.

It wouldn't be so bad if they let you save anywhere but having to go through ludacris amounts of tricky platforming right before the Longhunter boss and not letting you save anywhere in that stretch is not fun.

I have died multiple times and restarted this section for the last hour and a half.

This might be where I call it quits...

#Nintendo #SteamDeck

Nope! That's enough for me.

I'll give the remasters of 2 and 3 a shot at some point but I will never return to part one.

It's an interesting game and you can see how Metroid Prime really evolved the design that Turok started, but for the most part it has been an exercise in frustration.

@steamdeckhq That totally makes sense. I couldn't imagine myself keeping up an active account across all the different social media sites.

I gotta say, you do an excellent job of juggling all the sites you currently post at.

I was just curious about the Lemmy instance.

As long as you keep posting on Mastodon I'm more than happy. 😁

Keep up the great work!

Wow! I didn't realize, here in the States at least, that the Big Easy and the electric are both the same price, around $5,500.

That makes it exceedingly difficult to choose between the two and I could easily see myself using either one in different situations.

Hmmmm...

Does anyone have any advice or experience with either to persuade me in direction or another?

I was reading an article on Broderbund's 'The Print Shop' and have very fond memories of using it. It got me thinking...

What is the modern day equivelant?

Apparently a competitor that swallowed up Broderbund makes PrintMaster and sells it through its website but is it any good?

Is there a modern day alternative on or have web based services like Canva essentially replaced these dedicated programs?

@jake4480 I appreciate the reply, even if it's not the answer that I wanted. 😂

I guess I was hoping there was a Printshop inspired alternative like how Decker is to HyperCard.

Regardless, it sounds like Canva is the main contender to fill the Printshop void.

@GottaLaff per the article...

''...focused on health care, drug treatment, job training and housing. The system, integrated into the country's taxpayer-funded national health care system, is free.''

"Someone who has problematic drug use isn't a criminal or someone who has a moral failing. They're someone who has a health problem, a physical or a mental health problem,"

Hmmmm. It's almost as if the U.S. 'for profit' medical system and War on Drugs is the wrong approach.

@OutofPrintArchive LOVED this game as a kid. I played it so much on the NES.

Imagine my surprise when years later I got into emulation and discovered that there was a 16-bit Mega Drive version!!!

Question:

At what version of #BlueTooth did wireless headphones first arrive?

I can't find a definitive answer but looking at the different Bluetooth versions I'm assuming it was version 3.0 that was released in 2009.

Does this sound right or were there actually some mass produced Bluetooth v.1 or v.2 headphones?

@OutofPrintArchive I remember my friend had this game when it came out and I loved it.

I remember thinking at the time how the graphics were some of the best I had ever seen on a home console. 😂

I have never played it since, though. I wonder if it holds up?

Wait a minute!
I just came across Ridge Racer Type 4 on PS4 and it didn’t even ask me to subscribe to their retro thingy?!
Because I bought it years ago on Vita?
That’s amazing!
I didn’t even know that these games were available outside the subscription thing! 😳

@OutofPrintArchive Ridge Racer Type 4 = Pure bliss.

Judeau,
@Judeau@mas.to avatar

@OutofPrintArchive Hmmmm... that's strange. I played Type 4 quite a bit on the original PSX and I believe it was compatible with both digital and analog.

I'm pretty sure I only ever played with analog though. By the time I picked up a copy I had been playing Ridge Racer 64 for some time and was so used to analog controls.

Is it for curiosity's sake or are you just more comfortable with the digital controls?

I have no Insight but wish you luck on getting it working.
