I would also prefer to talk about games or other stuff rather than users

Anyone else find MatthewMatosis's reviews to be really awesome?

You guys have any idea which version of Xak: The art of visual stage is the definitive one? I don't know how I can get the MSX one......so that's the thing. But I really love the music that the MSX has.

I'm now worried whether to get the Wii U this year or not. If they announce the NX and release it next year or this year, I'm gonna have a hard time getting it because of the fact that I just bought the NX...... sigh

@Iggly: Ah... I just found out that this coming semester for me is actually 5 months... with some 6-day - ONLY 6 DAYS!!! - spring break sometime in March. Good Lord.... Knew it was too good to be true.
Sigh... Better make very good use of the 2 weeks I have left, I guess. 5 months is gonna drag on forever.. and the 6 days holiday definitely isn't making things better!

@Vee_Flames I wouldn't worry about it too much since there's always those weeks where you can finish most of your homework and relax so the 5 months won't be too bad. For now just enjoy the rest of your holidays while it still lasts!

I wanna learn latin. Reason being that I think it is really cool when composers use the language in classical works.

Cool thing is that it's a dead language that all other languages are based off of.. woo Zombie language.

So Game are shipping me two Shovel Knight Amiibo, even though I only ordered one. Yay...?

Not really all modern languages are based on it. Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, etc are, but English and German, etc have their own separate roots. Though some words may be borrowed from Latin.

And obviously, other languages like Afrikaans, mandarin, Japanese, and a whole bunch of etc also have different origins.

Just finished reading probably the best Star Wars book I've ever picked up. Lost Stars. Loved it. Probably reading either Tarkin or A New Dawn next.

@TomJ: Glad you enjoyed Lost World! I thought the game was well done, too, except for that snowball level... Never. Again..

The Zelda DLC was awesome, though! Easily one of my favorite levels!

Anyone here play Melee competitively?

This guy is insane. Absolutely insane. https://www.youtube.com/user/TsukoG/videos

He makes the best kazoo videos. He also does some nice guitar videos, though not often.

So I was helping clean out my grandma's house (she's moving) and came across some old Disney comic books from August '92. I have no idea how she got them to begin with, though they likely belonged to some older cousins of mine; I would have been shy of one year old at the time, so they definitely weren't meant for me.

There was apparently a promotion going on where you could collect pieces of a map of Duckburg (Ducktales, anyone?) in different comic books in celebration of Disneyland Paris opening up. (Then called EuroDisneyland?)

What I found really cool was some of the advertising. There's an ad for Honey, I Blew Up The Kid, and two ads for NES games: Daydreamin' Davey (never heard of this one) and Tiny Toon Adventures (this I have heard of).

Nothing big, really, I just think it's cool to find retro stuff like this. B)

Skip New Dawn, it's kinda boring. Tarkin is solid, but if you haven't read Lords of The Sith do so asap.

That moment when you disappointed Chrom. Who is suddenly a admin on a Nintendo forum.

wut

Can you guys tell me whether you have the Wii U or not? I can atleast feel nice for those who haven't owned a Wii U like me as of now. And I know that the system itself isn't doing well but still.......

If the NX is gonna be revealed this year, I can't get that system if I get the Wii U......so I'm considering to skip the Wii U. If it weren't for parents, I could easily get the Wii U and the NX.

If you want one, and can buy one, then go get one. We don't know what or when about the NX, so stressing over it is useless.

If it's a home console, it will be more expensive and offer less immediate content compared to the WiiU.

I personally think you could save the money instead, though.

@Santa: I actually ended up ordered The Rise of the Empire which has both Tarkin and A New Dawn in it along with some short stories. Tarkin was my real interest, but having two stories for the price of one on Amazon and them both being canon was tempting. Sadly, it is not a hardcover though. My only concern with New Dawn is that it apparently leads up to the show Rebels, which looks kind of kiddie to me (this coming from a guy who plays more Mario games than anything else).
