I don't really think there are 'series' in the Mario saga. There's basically two streams of Mario game that have co-existed since Mario 64 - the 2D games and the 3D games.

Mario Wonder is the best 2D one I've played in years. Right back to SNES Mario World.

I'm more than happy to have more 2D ones like this.

Cool, thanks for the valuable insights.

It's not so much that it was difficult, it's that it felt a bit more unfair than BotW. It seemed like the regular grunts (Bokoblins etc.) were far tougher than they needed to be. Every single encampment of them would have a few silver ones and they're just damage sponges - you just get through all your weapons just clearing out a small camp. Even the master sword felt like it used up a whole charge just taking out a few of those buggers. I shouldn't have to completely rebuild and restock my weapon arsenal every time I clear out a small camp of fodder.

The game itself didn't really feel much harder than BotW though. It's just all these little encounters that annoyed me.

You can't replicate the cinema experience at home, regardless of how big your TV is or how impressive your audio setup is.

Watching some epic sci-fi on the big screen, or communally experiencing some creepy horror movie, or a whole crowd of 100s laughing along together at a ludicrous comedy is something I don't want to give up.

Sure, a lot of films are fine to watch at home but with a decent audience the cinema experience can't be beaten.

1989 Batman at the cinema. It's Batman day this weekend for some reason.

If true I hope we also get some new music alongside the classic ones. FZero soundtrack is superb.

Which is why RT scores were usually good. Because a RT percentage is just the percentage of critics that thought the film was good or better.

Too many people treat RT scores as a single "this is a film that has a quality rating of 90%" whereas it's "90% of critics think it's not shit".

Really, this is RTs fault for picking a metric so often used in a different way.

It's a movie about a theoretical physicist who became a project manager.

Not quite, but nice try. Better luck next time!

Wood is for clocks that sit indoors, stay stationery and in a controlled temperature environment.

Wood expands and contracts in heat, is naturally pourus, is brittle and can't be sized down accurately to the micro-milimetre.

There's a reason that wood has been around far longer than metal yet we only started getting wood watches in the last decade or so - it's because it's impractical.

Just because you can make watches out of certain materials that doesn't mean that you should. You could probably make a watch out of cardboard, leather, wool, bread or pasta. Doesn't mean you should.

What is it showing on in the UK? (Or is it showing on the 'VPN' channels)

Trakt is great because there's loads of apps that use the API for it but your history is stored on Trakt so even if you swap to a different app you can still access that history.
