Palico monster hunter dude- got it on sale and turns out you can reroll your cat, is it worth bothering to try for something specific or just start out?

Don't worry about it when you're just starting out. Early monsters are easy and the game eases you into everything.

While you're doing early-game quests, start scouting for a Gathering cat. Bare minimum, you want to look for one that has Piercing Boomerangs, Big Boomerangs, and Boomerang Pro. It shouldn't be hard to get one that has all those skills right out of the box, but yes you can re-roll the cat if it's not quite right. Download the Ranger 2 cat from the DLC menu (all free) and have him teach Ranged Attack Up to your cat. Boom! You'll have a great multi-purpose cat who can get you through a lot of content.

Gathering cats are useful for a lot of reasons. They're the best for gathering quests, which you'll have to do throughout the game, and periodically on your own time to replenish your stock of materials that you can't get from the trader. To boot, they have the highest ranged attack of any of the types of cats, so they're great at killing monsters too!

Look up Gaijinhunter on YouTube. He has a nice guide about re-rolling cats and more videos about recommended builds for them.

Even if they focused on the objective measure of sales, it'd take a year and a half to get the top 75. This is clearly not what they are doing as titles like Might Bomb Jack aren't on that list anyway.

Since that was written, the game has been updated so many times, you could likely write 2 more, equally long paragraphs, filled with more poo poo you could do.

You know they say that all demons are created equal, but you look at me and you look at Pyro Jack and you can see that statement is not true, hee-ho!
Mighty Bomb Jack is a game in which you control Jack, a person who has the ability to jump really high, really fast, which then results in him floating to the ground a bit slower. The object of the game is to collect bombs and treasure and stuff as you go from one stage to the next, avoiding enemies such as mummies that can kill you in one hit. You can find various powerups that, from what I remember, change your color scheme so you can open up hidden items in blocks and treasure chests and such. You open treasures and hidden block items by jumping off of them rather than hitting them. If you collect enough powerups, it turns all enemies on screen into treasure or something like that. The game also arbitrarily punishes you for collecting too much treasure by throwing you into a room where you avoid an onslaught of enemies, and to escape you have to jump X amount of times indicated on the screen (or lose a life I guess).


It's a weird rear end game I played way more than I probably should have as a kid and it's not very good but give it a try, you might just figure out all the weird nonsensical poo poo that's going on in it.

From what I can tell playing as a gathering cat doesn't do anything for your actual gathering (except for the standard cat things like infinite nets/pickaxes) but bringing a gathering cat that also has the plunderang and pilfer skills will net noticeably more items at the end of the hunt than a non-gathering cat.

Nostalgia is strong for Metroid, but it's going to be a harsh lesson the first time a bug flys out of a spawner and kills you through a doorway. At least there's save states so you don't have to deal with passwords that have O and 0 in them.

It is. Seems like just transferring Pokémon is what you do. There may be some exclusive ones from Go but I’m sure you can get those in other ways.

The big thing is a new Pokemon named Meltan that can evolve to Melmetal but only using Pokemon Go. Mew is included with a $50 Pokeball controller. It appears the Pokemon availability will just be the same as Red/Blue with the Safari Zone Pokemon being distributed to different areas since that was replaced with the Pokemon Go transfer facility.

They saw an ad for the Pokeball controller and lost their minds, so we may get that as well. Good to know!

Can someone give me a poke in the right direction in Hollow Knight:

I opened up the temple of the black egg, went in, unlocked being able to see percentage, defeated the boss and got an ending. Since then have done the white palace to completion, but then I took a break from the game for awhile and am unsure of where to go next because I don't remember any hints.

The Switch has me completely readdicted to Diablo 3. Any time I’m at home watching TV or chilling I’m also grinding rifts now. Im finding it even more addicting than PC Diablo 3 was because I don’t have to make time to play it at my computer. It’s always there and ready for me to get more loot and I don’t have to go to another room or turn off my movie to do it, it’s actually really dangerous for my free time :ohdear:

Yup. I’ve played multiple 3rd party games on Switch even though I have a PC that would run them with better graphics. It’s just way too convenient and I hope Nintendo sticks with this idea forever.
