Topic: The Chit-Chat Thread

Has any one played Zenonia and some how remembers how to make the HP Absorb enchantment(Sheathe Stone)? I have made a few in the past and totally can't remember how, just randomly picked it up again last night and got hooked on it (some how). I looked everywhere today for an answer, probably spent about 3hrs looking and Its driving me crazzzzy!!!!! Asking here because every board I found for it has been dead for 2yrs or so and I didn't want to make a thread for one question or resurrect one the random ancient Zenonia threads lol

arronishere thinks that I thought it was funny for Iwata-san to die. And That one guy's thought's still bother me. Guess I have to learn to ignore him......

I don't like it when people on this site, and every other site, use "Umm..." in their sentences.

There's no need to use the word "Umm" on the Internet because you have all the time in the world to think your thoughts through before you type them. People use "Umm" to be condescending on the Internet. If you do that, you're a (redacted). Seriously.

Is it just me or are current video game fans really viscous. Nowadays It's almost like they want to tear apart and criticize everything wrong with a game for the fun of it.

@TylerTheCreator: Chill... I think you're overreacting. What's the harm in using an expression to show some feelings?
Besides, I don't see how saying "Umm..." depicts patronizing superiority at all...

So I scoot over to my FB feed and find Push Square's reaction article to Xbox's GamesCon conference. I click the comment section, and BAM. Immature posts and 'fanboyism.' Like as if NLife's Rare Replay comment section wasn't enough.

@VeeFlamesNL: Nintendo only has themselves to blame and I don't see them crying about it. Rare hasn't made anything worthwhile since they parted ways but it would sure be nice to have all those games on the eshop.

That reminded me of a story I heard from family about one of their friends. I promise you, this 100% legit actually happened.

So, there's this older black woman. She's not rich by any means, and she lives in the ghetto. One day, some wanna-be gangsta starts hitting all the homes in the neighborhood. However, he apparently was taught manners. So he goes up to this lady's house and knocks. She opens the door and he points his pistol at her and asks her to go get him some money. She goes:
"Boy, do I look like I got any money? What're you doin' tryn'a rob people over here anyway? Go over to them white people neighborhoods. Now they got money!"
SLAM
He didn't bother any other houses in that neighborhood and was later arrested.

I find it hilarious because it sounds like something ripped straight out of a Tyler Perry movie.

NOTE: I advise NOT doing this to a criminal with a gun pointed at you.

I had another dream about vacationing in Japan last night.

All I remember is that me & my bro both went, and we were staying in different apartments (yes, apartments & not hotel rooms, for whatever reason). Mine looked suspiciously like my bedroom.

I remember a couple of Japanese women walking up to the window & talking to me for a bit, then my best friend came over because he decided to drop by (who just happens to drop by in another country, lol), and we spent the whole day watching & talking about DBZ (How powerful Recoome is, in particular).

Then me & my bro decided to take a break from vacation to share some photos with the family back home, and we were suddenly in my grandmother's dining room, with the family gathered around. My bro showed everyone a bunch of interesting photos & videos he had taken (which included his cool roommate, who knew lots of cool places to visit), and that's when I realized I had nothing to show, since I didn't have the money to go & do anything outside of my apartment.

We went back to Japan, & I spent the rest of the dream thinking of what I could do with no money, before waking up.

This is hilarious. Made my day. I'm pretty tempted to do this if someone comes up to my front door with a gun, but one, I'm not an idiot, and two, my neighborhood would probably be considered a rich people neighborhood anyway.

@Artwark: No, he misinterpreted your comment, and you corrected it and him. So, I don't think he still thinks that. Just because he never edited his comment or reply doesn't mean he hasn't seen your comment. Don't let it bother you, you know you didn't find it funny, and if someone else thinks you did by mistake (Even though no one does) you shouldn't let it bother you.

I noticed that people here sometimes has a discussion about something and @RR529 just derails it and post about dreams i love that! This isn't hate on you @RR529 by no means. It's just something i noticed

@VeeFlamesNL: You're right, it really depends on the context. But when "umm" is used for the purpose of being mean, I hate it.

Anyone here please try to encourage me a bit.

Ever since I'm doing the night shift, Its so depressing that I don't get the chance to see the bright sun again. No matter what happens, I love the bright sun because it shows a sign of happiness to me. Not only that but i'm not able to sleep well as I get only four hours of sleep...... and I end up getting hallucinated a lot, I'm getting a bit dizzy occasionally.

On top of that, I'm not able to think of anything positive about Nintendo anymore ever since the tragedy of what happened last month. My heart aches to see his face now gone and the fact that I can't be positive about Nintendo anymore. The only thing that makes me smile about them is Genyo Takeda's quotes of not every vehicle is designed to go top speed and Miyamoto's quote of a delayed game is good. A bad game is bad forever.

My dream is to make games for Nintendo in the end. I guess if fate decides to remove that dream of mine forever, then I guess fate wasn't kind to me. If I had the opportunity to make one game exclusive to a Nintendo system even if its a phone rip-off and that it turns out to be a good game, that's all I would ever want. I don't mind being dead after that as long as its a good game and that I have no regrets. I want to do so many things like being a second party developer for Nintendo but if fate decides to kill me before that, then I guess that's how it should be for me.

@Artwark: Ask your boss if you can switch shifts. The worst he can say is "no."

Why would Iwata's death stop you from working at Nintendo?

@TylerTheCreator: Its not possible to stop the night shift.

The new CEO might not like the way I want to make games for them and so, It might end up being depressing in the long run.

@Artwark: What do you mean by "make games?" There's a whole team of people for each game that Nintendo develops. Different people edit different parts of the game.

If you want to make games for Nintendo, your only choice is to show how good you are at it. There are plenty of easy-to-learn tools for creating games out there - even some that natively export to Wii U!

Unity, GameMaker: Studio, and Stencyl are all good tools to learn and get your teeth sunk into game development.
Stencyl for learning the basics behind programming logic and full game development.
GameMaker: Studio for fast 2D game development and learning how to program in a C-like language.
Unity for 3D game development - you really have to completely rethink concepts in a 3D space.

There's also plenty of non-programming positions. Localization, marketing, QC. Any of those are more likely to actually get you a job at Nintendo.

If you end up making a game for Nintendo, I will buy 10 copies to support you. But you're not going to be doing that overnight. You need somewhere to start first!

I got a thing in a nerdy store

@Morpheel: Nerds and geeks are to toally different things. You are not a nerd!

I've said this before when people thing I'm a nerd. Nerds are smart and into science and stuff. I'm just a geek.
