So this week i have been playing a hell of a lot of Mech Warrior 5 Mercenaries on PS5. For those of those not in the know, it’s basically big walking tanks with a contract management system thrown in. You got from system to system taking on various contracts and negotiating rewards etc. It’s a fun game, but it looks like there are a HUGE amount of story/ action.
On top of this, a bunch of new SHMUPs recently came out: Cotton Boomerang, Cotton 2, and guardian force. I am yet to play GF, but I have played the cotton games which are both fun and difficult! I will likely do a review for these in Shoot You Sir in the future.
WALOD has taken a brief break during the international break until the proper football is back. We will be recording next week for a video out on Friday.
I have also been playing some more electics and acoustic, and picked up a new wah pedal: plutonium Chi wah-wah. It’s basically generic pedal size with an adjustable contour. I have found it is ‘OK’ for soloing with dirt, but sounds a bit harsh at any setting for cleans. But I find this with a lot of wah pedals.
I need to speak to Graham about recording the next Shoot You Sir Podcast! - watch this space.
