Re: What games are you currently playing?
I've been playing Splatoon Raiders since it came out a couple of days ago. It's been pretty fun so far, and considering my previous track record with Splatoon 3, it's safe to say that I'll likely stick to single-player experiences when it comes to these games. :hap:

The world map also seems to depict it as mostly a desert environment, so they avoided making it food/day of the dead themed even there - making it look completely different from the new footage or from the original game. Very strange.
You know, this is actually how I imagine the world works in-universe. The way I see it, the Día de los Muertos-themed environments shown in Legends is simply the way that the people of the Mystic Mesa celebrate the Fiesta de los Muertos holiday. Perhaps other worlds do smaller-scale celebrations for it, but in that world specifically they go all-in on it. This would make it make more sense why they avoided naming the world after the holiday, since that is temporary and the world itself probably isn't permanently in that state. The areas explored in Legends might just be one part of the Mystic Mesa and the rest of it doesn't have as many decorations tied to the holiday - Mariachi Madness and the end of the Stinkbog's dragon flight would certainly support that theory.

Sure, maybe they should have chosen a name that implied Mexican ties considering stuff like the Mariachis and Luchadores are probably there year-round, but if all of the decorative environments are just part of temporary festivities or only make up one area of the world, then the Mystic Mesa's name still works well enough in my opinion. :)

Yes, it looks like the bosses are no longer inherently evil, but possessed by that mysterious hooded villain instead. At least, they all share the same purple glowing eyes.
Yep; we've seen Grunderbite, the Armored Toad, El Luchador, and even the Mechanical Dragon (in one shot of the reveal trailer) with the possessed eyes, and the Bubble Dreamer's description of Grunderbite being the protector of the Old Teensie Kingdom does mean that the bosses are no longer evil by nature. I like this new angle, since some of the bosses and enemies didn't really seem like the hostile type (e.g. El Luchador and the aforementioned Mariachis and Luchadores), and I'm intrigued to see how they are described in their normal states.

Though I do wonder why the Mechanical Dragon, a robot seemingly built by the Dark Teensy, needed to be possessed? If he's working under the new villain, then it shouldn't require those extra measures, right? And how on earth are they going to explain Hades' Hand? :P

Re: What games are you currently playing?
I spent an hour to an a hour and a half playing one of my favorite PopCap classics - Heavy Weapon Deluxe - on one of my retro PCs. I tried to beat my 20-year old record in Survival Mode, currently sta nding just over eleven and a half minutes. No luck. Although in all of my attempts I got a Top 10 time thrice, the first place stayed about 40 seconds out of reach. Oh, well, maybe next time. :P

Re: The Awesome and Cool Rayman Poll Thread - #84: What's your least favourite world in Rayman 1?
Band Land because Gong Heights. The rest is adorable, but *shudder*... no thanks.

Re: The Awesome and Cool Rayman Poll Thread - #84: What's your least favourite world in Rayman 1?
Bro, you could even remake it with AI and it would be the Cabes of Slops.

As for myself, I voted for Candy Château. Too underwhelming of a payoff after being forced to 100% the game.

Re: The Awesome and Cool Rayman Poll Thread - #84: What's your least favourite world in Rayman 1?
Probably the Cabes of Skops. I hate Cabes. Wish it was just a cave.

Here's Marcel on my office chair. He sits in my place, but unfortunately, I have yet to see him work in my stead.

I'd doubt they'd be able to do that since Retold was made in a separate game engine and not made in Ubiart Framework, It's a matter of time if they decide to make an in-game launcher for Retold which includes Origins Enhanced Edition
I think it would most likely that once you buy Retold, a separate icone for Origins Enhanced Edition will appear on your console menu...depending on which though. I could be talking outta my head though...
No worries, I already know! When I pre-ordered it on PlayStation 5, It showed another game with no icon on it indicating that it's definitely Rayman Origins Enhanced Edition!
