BBC Sucks... Um... Well 

Oh my lord, what a cluster fuck.

Also goes to show the young ones who set it up don't get physical media. I've been asked by my nephew's before, what's a DVD?

And had to explain life before streaming.

I bought Blacksad on Switch, using Switch 2 BC to play it.

On Switch it was a basically unplayable technical mess.

Switch 2 BC fixes everything, without needing a patch. It always irked me I couldn't play a good adventure game that I would enjoy.

And its only £2.30 or something.

Yeah, kids today have no idea on waiting for something to be on TV or the radio. Or waiting for anything.  Mine comes to me and says, "Can you print me a wordsearch for 7-year-olds that is soccer related?" Yeah sure... which of these 40 options do you want?

When I was a boy... yes yes I know... we had two channels on TV and you had to get up to change the channel. It was an innovation when we figured out how to record FM radio onto audio cassettes so we could (in some small way) choose to listen to what we wanted.

You're meant to suck the BBC. Truly incompotent indeed.

I used to record radio shows onto cassettes.

But... you had 2 channels??

Now I feel spoiled with a whopping 4 channels growing up.

I've rounded up and posted pics of all the awesome artwork on the Nintendo today app I've seen so far.

Check the forums.

Good for phone screen savers.

We had 3.5 TV channels growing up. The .5 channel would some in snowy or not at all; on random days when the stars aligned just right, it would come in clear ... about 3 days a year, lol.

Amazon doesn't seem to ship on launch day anymore. Always arrives 2 days later.

Yeah, I learned my lesson years ago. Fortunately, there are plenty of other options these days.

I’m just going to go to my local Walmart or Best Buy to pick up Donkey Kong Bananza tomorrow. Really hyped for this game.

I think you can pretty much pick up any game you want on release day these days. No need to preorder.

I remember going to EB Games the day Killer Instinct came out on the SNES. They were sold out and told me I should have pre-ordered it. I'd never heard of pre-ordering before. I went across the street to Best Buy and they had a display full of copies that were available for anyone.

Somehow pre-ordering became a requirement at all stores soon after. All of it was BS. Now companies want us to not only pre-order digtial games but pay them $20 extra to get it three days early. WTF?

Gaming retail is dead here.

Or there are so few branches, they are too far to travel to.
