You know I kinda now realise how badly the PS5 flopped

Not only due to scalpers, but also because holy shit this thing has no games

The PS5's main library, consists of just remakes and remasters, very few original games. See, this wouldn't be that much of a problem, if it wasn't for two things:

A: Most of these games are remakes/remasters of games that recent like the The Last Of Us 2 and 1

B: THE PS5 IS BACKWARDS COMPATABLE WITH THE PS4. There's no reason to buy these remasters if you have the game on PS4, and can just play it on PS5 without spending anymore.

Plus with how most games on PS5 can also be played on PS4, the same problem, you don't need a PS5 if you want to play Sackboy: A New Adventure, of Horizon Forbidden West. Just use the PS4 you already have!

And is there really much of a reason to buy the PS5 now? Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart is an excellent game that took advantage of the PS5 tech, but now that it's on PC, there's no point, just buy it on your gaming PC. Same with Forbidden West, and God Of War. If Sony kept these exclusive to PS5, then maybe the sales could've been better, but no.

Plus, it feels like Sony barely has any other franchises now. God Of War, Horizon, Last Of Us, good franchises, but the reason why the Nintendo Switch is so successful is because it has several other franchises.

Mario, the Legend Of Zelda, Donkey Kong, Pikmin, Pokemon, Smash Bros, all the other Mario-eccentric games, Arms, Splatoon, Kirby, Animal Crossing, Metroid and Fire Emblem, all getting excellent games on the Switch, that stayed on the Switch only. Even if some franchises got less representation then others, the sheer amount of variety of Nintendo-Exclusive games is far more appealing then anything the PS5 had.

Alright, Marvel's Spider-Man 2 had massive hype, but nowhere comparable to The Legend Of Zelda Tears of Kingdom and Breath Of Wild, or Super Mario Bros Wonder, or Smash Brothers, Kirby and the Forgotten Land.

All PS5 games feel the same, with no distinct style besides Astro's Playroom, Sackboy, Ratchet and Clank, with the last two being playable on other platforms.

Hi sorry for my recent mistake..i mean how's your oc interact with the ps-allstars(psasbr)

Its ok.

Well rindaru has multiple forms/alter egos, her normal self, abyss (basically superhero self), Phoenix, acid-dent and oblivion. So I'll list off how each of them interacts with other all-stars.

--------------------------------------------------

At the beginning, when everyone had to fight someone, Rin took a different approach, trying to not fight others as she knew they would be stronger then she was. she was successful Witt most, but the ones that wouldn't go by without a fight were sweet tooth, Radec, Zeus, Mr Bubbles and the one that reverse his youth (I forgot his name, haven't played the game in a while). Some of the fights she would lose and have to play dead until the opponent left, having Phoenix heal her afterwards. Polygon man was her worst nightmare, Phoenix's healing couldn't be used that many times within a day, and it had a cool down, Rin going from being abyss, to oblivion, then finally, acid-dent. If it hadn't have been for her brothers grabbing the controllers and playing as Jak and Raiden, she would've lost her life and lose her way home.

--------------------------------------------------

So when the lost started living together in a new unofficial game made for her brothers, saying she was confused on the situation would've been an understatement.

She was terrified, ecstatic and disoriented, she could see her family again through the screen and they could interact with her and talk to her at last! but...she would have to live with characters that had either tried to kill her or would be able to beat the ever livin Nephilim outta her. there was comfort in knowing who each side of her got along with well....

RIN/ABYSS RELATIONSHIP CHART:

Friends: jak, ratchet, Nathan, Sackboy, parrapa, sly, Dante.

enemies: zeus, Hades (I know, he ain't playable but hey, why not?), polygon.

Sees as family: Nariko (mother figure), Kat (second mother figure), Nathan Drake (brother figure/dad figure), Jak and Raiden (brothers main vessels when PSASBR is played).

Neutral with: everyone else.

Summary: abyss tries to keep on everyone's good side as much as possible, seeing some of them as family or feeling some form of familiarity with them. She helps out as much as possible but has trouble with seeing some of the other characters, such as sweet tooth and Radec. Each person helps her with certain things, such as sack boy helping her with her creativity, Nathan with helping Rin feel like she can handle herself without the use of her powers, parrapa being her musical support and Nariko & Kat with her mental health and Family support (since she is stuck within the PlayStation and can't leave till she finds out how).

PHOENIX RELATIONSHIP CHART:

friends: the kids, Nariko, Kat.

Neutral with: everyone (?) (Fuzzy memory).

Enemies: ??? (Fuzzy memory)

Sees as family: most of the gang (Rin's Fuzzy memory)

Phoenix is the households healer and emotional support, keeping the house in order and out of trouble when Rin let's her take over her body. Will stand up to anyone no matter how bad the action, but will scold some. Sweet tooth is on a rampage cuz there ain't no icecream? No problem! Phoenix will buy 29 gallons of icecream, ratchet exploded the kitchen? the plane malfunctioned! Besides, Phoenix will fix the mess! The Godly family had another fight? No need for that, go to therapy, now 🗡️. Loves taking care of the kids.

OBLIVION'S RELATIONSHIP CHART:

Friends: sweet tooth, evil Cole, ??? (Unsure)

Enemies: nearly the whole house. Polygon man.

Neutral: Radec, cole, Kat and Nariko.

The most violent and sadistic parts of abyss in its own being, oblivion will take control of abyss whenever they are bored and instantly try to fight someone, claiming she can take on God's and the government. If not causing bloodshed, then causing problems in the house and teaming up the some of the house villain's, however, she will never forget the absolute pain and suffering polygon man made Rin go through and to an extension, herself. Vowing to kill that son of a ------ many times

ACID-DENT RELATIONSHIP CHART:

Friends: not sure

Neutral: everyone.

Enemies: polygon

the last of Rin's alter-self and the most deadly/powerful. She only comes into play when in desperate needs (in Rin's health/life since the alter-selves are part of Rin) or when Rin/acid means business. She tends to stay on neutral terms with everyone and keep the house out of trouble, hurting anyone who dares to defy. Like oblivion, she harbours hatred towards the polygon man for threatening the very life of Rin and the alters, bit also because she suspects that it's the polygon man who forced Rin out of reality and into the PlayStation.

--------------------------------------------------

hopes this answers your question anon, and if anyone is wondering, no, there is no new game where the PlayStation all stars are living in some sort of animal crossing life. I just made it up because my OC needs a way to communicate with her family and vice versa.

Have a nice day/night/evening/afternoon.

Reference List for amiibo Fighter Names (Set 1)

A supplementary post for the amiibo card art I recently posted over on Twitter, here’s a listing of all their names, and where they came from.  Order will be the same as the order they were posted in.  Going to stick to 12 entries per list because otherwise hoo boy this would get ridiculous for a single post. :

1) Bayonetta : Lunatic - This is a Touhou reference, Lunatic being the name of the (usually) highest difficulty setting.  Given luna is associated with the moon, as is Bayonetta herself, putting the bullet witch in a bullet hell game seemed fitting.  Given Bayonetta 1 even had a shooting minigame, Angel Attack, it seemed to work all the more perfectly.  Basically the full setup of this card is designed to look like a Touhou game being played, with Bayonetta appearing in full as a “spell card” image.

2) Bowser Jr. : Steam-Punk - When it comes to more recent Mario games, when Jr. decides to confront you, more often than not it’s with various machines and mechs.  Thus, I thought of him with an inventor style, and went with one of my favorite aesthetics, steampunk.  The fact that he is kind of a punk little brat works quite well.  Some of the overall look of this card was inspired by the fact that I was playing the Bioshock games while drawing this, which Neo made a more solid reference to it on his version, putting in an Andrew Ryan quote.  I also snuck a reference to Tinker Knight’s mech from Shovel Knight in the background.

3) Bowser : King Dad - Nintendo has gone out of their way to portray as Bowser, for all his faults, as being a good dad for his son, and I love that interpretation.  Furthering this, there’s the fact that the Koopalings in the old Mario cartoons from the 80′s - 90′s tended to refer to him as King Dad, hence the name.  I wanted to go with sort of an old era sitcom look for him, the family dad sitting with his pipe and newspaper.  I thus also wanted to give the frame an old timey TV look.  This one was drawn by me in the period before Neo suggested we try using character specific icons in all the nameplates, so he added a Bowser insignia to the channel knob.

4) Captain Falcon : DJFalcon - This is a play on Captain Falcon’s canonical name (at least, the name for one version of him, since I guess according to lore Captain Falcon is less a single person and more a title...?  F-Zero canon is tricky to follow sometimes.  Doesn’t help that the Cap has been cloned a number of times).  Falcon’s full name is Douglas Jay Falcon, thus shortening it, DJ Falcon.  He wants to see your moves!  Your DANCE moves!  Not much else to say on this one, except a bit of behind the scenes info : I was most of the way through drawing this one when we had a power out.  GUESS WHO HADN’T SAVED THE FILE FOR A LONG TIME!

5) Charizard : NotADragon - The eternal Pokémon joke of Charizard, one of the most dragonny looking Pokémon, not ACTUALLY being a Dragon type (unless you count his Mega Evolution I guess, but still, the point stands).  Neo made the point even more, including Goomy in the image, a major case of “How is THIS a dragon, but THIS ISN’T?!”  Not too much else to say on this one, though Neo did throw in a Pokémon Snap reference on his version, having the Dugtrio mountain in the background.  Nice touch, that.

6) Cloud : Smash Star - This was a suggestion from Neo actually, we joked about how FF was such a “Sony” franchise that it seemed funny Cloud got invited to Smash, rather than Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale.  So we went with that idea, using stage elements from the last stage of the game, and using three of my favorite characters from it in the background : Sackboy, Sly Cooper, and PaRappa the Rapper.  Would have also included Ratchet & Clank, but didn’t want to overcrowd the background.

7) Dark Pit : FaceMyself - This one’s a Persona 4 reference.  As the game often states, “I am a Shadow, the true self!”  With Dark Pit basically being Pit’s “Shadow” from within the mirror, I couldn’t help going with this reference.  I greatly enjoyed Persona 4, so had a fun time drawing this one.  The back of his card is meant to be the back of one of those Kid Icarus Uprising AR cards.  Neo also added some Persona 4 imagery to the stack of TVs.  The roman numeral on the card in his nameplate, XXXIX, is 39, the release number of his amiibo.

8) Diddy Kong : Nerfed Gun - A bit of a meta joke, this one.  Diddy was seen as one of the most broken characters in Brawl, but in Smash 4, he got nerfed pretty hard.  So the idea of Diddy looking nervous, his weapons having been replaced with harmless Nerf equivalents, amused me way too much.  This one might be a little outdated though, as I’m fairly sure he got buffed a bit in Ultimate.

9) Donkey Kong : Sunwu Kong - A reference to the character from Journey to the West.  Sun Wukong, the monkey king, has been reference in a lot of media.  Heck, even Buster Rod G from Mega Man : The Wily Wars is based on him.  The specific version I reference with DK’s outfit here was Sun Wukong’s appearance in the Warriors Orochi series.  DK faces are really fun to draw.

10) Dr. Mario : The Doctor - A reference to Doctor Who, a show I... really need to watch more of.  The idea of it fascinates me.  I styled the viruses after various baddies from the show, the red virus being a Dalek, the yellow, a Weeping Angel, and the blue, the Half Face Man.  Mario himself is wearing the long scarf worn by the Fourth Doctor, played by Tom Baker.  I just always really liked how that scarf looked.

11) Duck Hunt : Quackshot - Pure and simple, just a pun name on the term “Crackshot.”  Only a duck is involved.  So Quackshot.  I want to say there was a Donald Duck game that also had this as the title, but that’s purely coincidental, wasn’t specifically referencing it.  I put some Target Test targets in the back to go with the theme.  Man, I do miss Target Test mode, especially the Melee variation, but these days, I can see the issue with having a personalized Target Test for every character.  I’d still love it though, haha.

12) Falco : Hyperdrive - I had trouble coming up with an idea for Falco, so I got to thinking about space travel type stuff since he loves flight.  Then I ended up with the idea that he’s a falcon (at least his name would lead you to believe so), and Star Wars had the Millennium Falcon, so the idea just sort of took off from there.  I tried to go with the style of how the stars sort of look like they “stretch” in preparation for the jump to Hyperspace.

PlayStation 5 Launch Games Confirmed So Far

https://ift.tt/eA8V8J

After much hype and more than a little confusion, we finally know the PlayStation 5’s release date and price. However, in the minds of many fans who are desperately scrambling to secure a PS5 pre-order, the most important question that remains has to be “What PS5 launch games will I have to choose from on November 12?”

While the events of 2020 have almost certainly impacted Sony’s software plans for the PS5’s launch, we have to say that the PS5 launch lineup is shaping up to feature a surprising array of exclusives, ports, and other games that may soon find themselves on a shortlist of the year’s best titles.

So if you’re one of the lucky gamers who will add a PS5 to your console collection in November, here are the PS5 launch games you can expect to enjoy right away. Just keep in mind that this list doesn’t include the PS4 games that are compatible with the PS5 on day one.

Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla

Ubisoft recently made the surprising decision to release Assasin’s Creed Valhalla a week ahead of schedule in order to ensure that it launches alongside the Xbox Series X/S on November 10. That also means that it will be available on day one for the PS5 when Sony’s next-gen console is available in many regions.

While we wouldn’t expect Valhalla to take advantage of the PS5’s capabilities out of the gate, the next-gen version of the game will almost certainly benefit from the console’s incredible SSD and other quality-of-life features.

Astro’s Playroom

Not only is Astro’s Playroom a verified PS5 launch game, but it was recently confirmed that the title will be pre-loaded on all PS5 consoles.

Essentially an elaborate tour of the PS5 controller’s capabilities, Astro’s Playroom should still be substantial enough to tide you over even if you don’t get a copy of your preferred PS5 launch game right away.

Demon’s Souls

In case you weren’t excited enough for the Demon’s Souls remake, Sony just had to go ahead and make it an official PS5 launch game.

At the moment, we’d argue that Demon’s Souls is the best looking PS5 launch game from both a visual and gameplay perspective. Time will tell ultimately tell, but it feels safe to say that Soulsborne fans everywhere will want to treat Demon’s Souls as the PS5’s first “must-have” game.

Destiny 2: Beyond Light

Destiny 2 makes the leap to next-gen consoles, as Destiny 2: Beyond Light will be available as a day one PS5 experience.

This monumental expansion may essentially prove to help shape the next three years of Destiny 2 content. We’re excited to try it out, and we’re just as excited to see the ways that Bungie utilizes the PS5’s capabilities to enhance the already enjoyable core Destiny gameplay experience.

Destruction Allstars

Somewhere between Rocket League and Twisted Metal lies our next PS5 launch game, Destruction Allstars.

We haven’t seen enough of this title to make a fair assessment regarding its prospects, but car combat fans should find something to love in this blend of automobile action and melee madness.

Devil May Cry 5: Special Edition

We’d be lying if we told you that we expected an upgraded version of Devil May Cry 5 to join the PS5’s launch lineup, but we’re more than happy to have an excuse to dive back into this action masterpiece.

Along with all currently available DMC 5 content, this Special Edition will include visual enhancements, new control options designed to utilize the DualSense’s unique abilities, a new difficulty level, a new mode, and the return of Vergil.

Fortnite

Granted, the biggest Fortnite story at the moment has nothing to do with next-gen consoles, but with PS5 fans safely outside of the Apple ecosystem, they should just simply be able to enjoy one of the biggest mainstream gaming sensations of the last 20 years.

Don’t expect Fortnite to benefit much from the extra power offered by next-gen platforms, but fans will certainly find plenty of reasons to download the free-to-play title on day one and maybe keep it as their “main” game until the PS5 library is expanded in 2021.

Godfall

If you haven’t been paying attention to Godfall, then we’d strongly advise you to use its recently confirmed launch title status as a good reason to start.

This looter shooter looks to combine the fluid action and rich visuals of Destiny with the depth of Diablo while incorporating a few new tricks of its own. More than just another looter shooter, what we’ve seen of Godfall thus far suggests it could be one of the best games of 2020.

Sackboy: A Big Adventure

This spin-off/continuation of the Little Big Planet series should be enough to scratch the itch of old-school gamers everywhere who just don’t feel right unless they have a platformer to play on their new next-gen console.

Given the creative success of recent games in this franchise, we strongly suspect that A Big Adventure will be a visually exciting platformer for all ages. However, its the game’s co-op mode that may just push it over the top as a PS5 launch game.

Spider-Man: Miles Morales

After sorting through all of the discussion regarding whether or not Spider-Man: Miles Morales is an expansion or standalone sequel, we’ve arrived at the conclusion that it’s one of the most exciting PS5 launch games.

This spin-off of the Marvel’s Spider-Man looks to retain all of the open-world and universe building elements that made its predecessor so great while exploring the ongoing mythology of one of the best characters in the Marvel canon.

cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "106e33c0-3911-473c-b599-b1426db57530", }).render("0270c398a82f44f49c23c16122516796"); });

Watch Dogs Legion

Watch Dogs: Legion hasn’t been getting quite as much attention as Assassin’s Creed Valhalla and…some of the other things happening at Ubisoft, but what we’ve seen of the game so far suggests it will be a fascinating entry into a somewhat underrated franchise.

Again, manage your expectations so far as technical upgrades go, but those who were already planning on checking out Watch Dogs: Legion should find plenty of reasons to upgrade that experience to the PS5.

Weekend Top Ten #444

Top Ten PlayStation Games I Hope Get PC Releases

And once again I turn my steely eye to the world of gaming. This time though I’m pulling on my blue jumper and talking about PlayStation (because I guess Xbox would have a green one and Nintendo’s would be red? I dunno, I’m making this up as I go). I’ve said in the past that as much as I like Sony and would love a PlayStation, I’ve never actually owned one myself because I always tend to buy an Xbox first. As much as I love the gaming industry, gaming as a past-time, and games themselves as an art-form, I have a rapidly dwindling supply of free time and unfortunately once I factor in trying to see enough films to maintain polite conversation and staring at my phone for hours on end in order to maximise my ennui, I don’t have an awful lot of minutes left in the day to dive into a wide variety of triple-A titles. As such, because I’m used to the Xbox’s way of working, because I tend to prefer its controllers and its whole ecosystem, and because I love several of their franchises (Halo and Fable especially), it’s always Xbox I gravitate towards, and then I just don’t have enough gaming time left over to justify the expense of a second huge console. And let’s get it out of the way – the PlayStation 5 is huge.

As a result, as time has gone on, there is an ever-growing number of PlayStation exclusives that I’ve barely played. In The Olden Days this was less of a problem, as pre-kids (and, heck, pre-everything considering how old the original PlayStation is at this point) I was able to saunter over to a friend’s house and try out games on their console. In this fashion I sampled a good many PS1 and PS2 titles such as Metal Gear Solid, WipeOut, Resident Evil, Time Splitters, Ico, and my absolute favourite, the original PS2 Transformers game. By the time PS3 rolled around this happened more rarely, but I’d argue it was fairly late in the generation when they showed off any games that really interested me (specifically those from Naughty Dog); and with the PS4, I’ve barely played on one at all, more’s the pity. And I really do mean more’s the pity, because this time around there have been loads of games I wanted; they really have had a better generation than Xbox, even if I couldn’t give up my Halo or Gears, to say nothing of the huge collection of backwards compatible games that get played to death by my kids.

That’s why I’m overjoyed that Sony have finally taken a leaf out of Microsoft’s book and are starting to release some of their bigger games on PC. I’ve been largely laptop-only for about a decade now, but it is a very powerful laptop, even if it’s not dedicated gaming hardware, and I’ve been pleasantly surprised how well it manages to run even quite demanding 3D games such as Assassin’s Creed Odyssey or Gears Tactics (I really must try out Flight Simulator sometime soon). The first big Sony exclusives to drop on Steam are Death Stranding (which looks bonkers but not my cup of tea) and the intriguing Horizon: Zero Dawn, which I’d probably really like. But those were never the Sony games that totally floated my boat; no, there are others, and I would absolutely love it if Sony saw fit to unleash them on Steam in the near future. Hey, I’m not picky; you don’t need to day-and-date it. I don’t mind enjoying a “Part I” whilst PS5 gamers are playing the hot new “Part II”. But I increasingly think be-all-and-end-all exclusives are rather old-fashioned, and whilst I get that there should probably be games tied to specific boxes, the services those box-companies provide should be more universal. That’s why I like Microsoft’s Play Anywhere initiative and the mobile game streaming via xCloud. But this is a Sony list, and these are some very, very good Sony games. I assume. By and large, I haven’t played them.

Marvel’s Spider-Man (2018): I love Rocksteady’s Arkham series of Batman games, but I do find them a bit relentlessly dark and miserable with an oh-so-gritty art style. What could be better, then, than a game that seems to play broadly similar but is nice, bright, funny, and sunny? Spider-Man is the perfect hero for that sort of game, and this looks absolutely like everything I’d ever want from a superhero game. I really, really, hope it comes to PC at some point, but I’ll be honest, I doubt it.

The Last of Us (2013): I like a good third-person action-adventure, whether it’s Gears, Tomb Raider, or Jedi: Fallen Order. TLOU looks most up my street, however, for its story, and its seemingly moving depiction of a family unit forming amidst the end of the world. By all accounts it’s a tear-jerker; I’ve tried to steer clear of the plot. Porting it over to PC whilst the well-received sequel is getting an inevitable PS5 upgrade seems like a good idea.

Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection (2015): I’ve very briefly played one of the Uncharteds, but not really; I hear they’re like the Tomb Raider reboot, but better, which seems nice. A rollicking third-person action-adventure with an Indiana Jones spirit? Count me in. With the long-mooted film adaptation finally underway, COVID notwithstanding, it seems like a good time to let PC gamers have a go at the classic saga. I’d add part 4 to the existing trilogy collection before shunting it to Steam.

Shadow of the Colossus (2018): I’ve played Ico a bit so I’m broadly familiar with the tone of these games, but Colossus seems like an even cooler idea. Scaling moving monsters, killing them but feeling guilty, sounds like both a great gameplay mechanic and a moving and evocative theme for a game. Port the recent remake to PC please, Mr. Sony.

Ratchet and Clank (2016): full disclosure: the new PS5 Ratchet game is the only title I’ve seen demoed that really looks next-gen, with its fancy ray-tracing, excessive particle effects, and funky portal-based gameplay. How’s about, then, giving PC gamers a chance to enjoy the relatively-recent remake of the very first game? A bit of cross-promotion works wonders, Sony.

God of War (2018): the old PS3-era God of War games never really appealed, I guess because I’m not always a huge fan of hack-and-slash and they gave off a kind of crazy excessive, almost laddish vibe that I found off-putting (having not played them, I may be being incredibly unfair). The new one, though, sounds like it’s all about being a dad and being sad and remorseful, so count me in.

Wipeout Omega Collection (2017): I’ve always enjoyed arcade racers, but one sub-genre that I don’t think gets enough love is a futuristic racer, especially where you’ve got hover cars (they seemed to be quite popular twenty-odd years ago). I played the original Wipeout on my mate’s OG PlayStation, but I’d love it if us PC gamers could play the whole series. Could it possibly be even better than Star Wars Episode I Racer?

LittleBigPlanet 3 (2014): chances are, if I’d done this list back around the time the first two LittleBigPlanet games were released, they’d have topped the chart. They looked like cool, fun platform games, with a fantastic creative aspect; I bet my kids would love them. With that in mind, I’d be over the moon to see Sackboy take a bow on Steam. I’d have put Dreams on this list, incidentally, except I can’t see myself getting a VR set anytime soon.

The Last Guardian (2016): feels a bit of a cheat having both this and Colossus on the list, but I do want to see what the fuss is about. One of those games infamous for its time in development, it seems to be a love-it-or-hate-it affair, and I am intrigued. Plus I want to know who dies at the end, the boy or the monster.

Killzone Shadow Fall (2013): gaming cliché has it that Nintendo does cutesy platformers, Microsoft does shooters, and Sony does third-person action-adventures; so whilst I’m well-versed in Halo and Gears, I’ve never sampled PlayStation’s key FPS franchise. Famous for its genuinely wowing showcase when the PS4 was announced, I’m not sure how good Shadow Fall actually is (or any of its predecessors for that matter) but I’d be very interested in finding out. Alternatively, give us one of the Resistance games and let me tear around an alternative Manchester or something.

So, there we are; ten games that I think are probably quite good – or even, y’know, masterpieces – but I’ve not had the chance to really sample them yet. And short of me picking up a PlayStation on the cheap, I don’t know when I really can. I mean, I told myself I’d buy a second-hand PS3 and a copy of TLOU once this current generation was in full swing, but that never happened. So throw me a bone, Sony! I still want to buy your stuff! Just sell it somewhere else! Somewhere I already am! Like Steam! Please?!
