Topic: The Chit-Chat Thread

@Blitzenexx Thanks! 30th of this month. I didn’t want to shaft my current job. They are good people just don’t have a job for my skillset.

@Delibheel Lol, dude that kind of thing is common in most big cities in Japan. Even before gifts and friends, the sheer abundance of stops in Kyoto meant I could literally play infinitely if I wanted and still end up with my bag completely full at the end of the night.

@Ryu_Niiyama Congratulations! (Best read in the Smash announcer’s voice)

@1UP_MARIO Oh cool. That is sooner that I expected!

1. About Donkey Konga...
I have watched the videos from Youtube and have investigated from Wikipedia and....
I wasn't impressed with the games due to :
a. Songlist aspect. I found there were some interesting Nintendo musics but like Taiko no Tatsujin, there were some uninteresting licensed songs from Donkey Konga games. If i compared Donkey Konga song list with DDR song list, i prefer DDR song list due to more interesting Konami Original songs and licensed songs.
b. Difficulty degree. I found the difficulty degree from Easy until Hard was really terrible. I mean, there were some songs rated higher on Easy difficulty but rated lower on Hard difficulty.
c. Amount of song list. 30+ songs by total for me was very disappointing. Compared with DDR on PS1 & PS2 with at least 40+ until 80+ songs (DDR Extreme PS2 Japan has 110+ songs).

2. About Bomberman games on PS2...
I like Bomberman Battles and Bomberman Land 3 PS2 due to :
a. Bomberman Battles = It has Standard Battle Mode, Tennis, Baseball and Golf. For the Ball games, here is my judgement : Tennis > Baseball > Golf.
Tennis on Bomberman Battles was pretty Easy and very Standard Tennis games, unlike Mario Tennis Aces with some gimmicks. Baseball on Bomberman Battles was quite interesting but Golf was my nightmare due to my inability to measure the Power given to the ball, Angles, Wind factor precisely. Also, there is a Life Mode on Bomberman Battles where you play as White Bomber stays at his home and you can customize his looking from Gatcha balls and sometimes you get 4 Strips Bomberman Manga as the reward. Those game features from Bomberman Battles were quite enough to convince me to play that game.
b. Bombermand Land 3 = Actually, the game was similar with Bomberman Land Wii. But, the reason i choose Bombermand Land 3 PS2 than Bomberman Land Wii due to : Full Rotate Camera angles in third person view, Some interesting public places such as Ferris Wheel / Spinning Tea Cup / etc, Some Mini games that can be accessed from Bomberman cellphone (The Mini games are such as Milk & Nuts and other Old Hudson Soft games from NES).
I felt the sensation like Go Vacation vibe from Bomberman Land 3.

While for Bomberman Generation Gamecube, i have never played before but i was convinced enough with that game after several times watching from Youtube.

3. About Boxing on Super Monkey Ball...
I didn't like the way to play Boxing games on Super Monkey Ball.
And i am not a fan of Cartoonish monkey characters like that.
I still prefer Boxing / Kickboxing games like K-1 on PS2 / GBA (Tekken style with Super Power meter like Street Fighter Alpha) rather than first person view style like Punch Out.

@Link-Hero I can't watch the video because I am slacking off at work while the students take standardized tests. Is it really that small?

@Heavyarms55 Comparison in the video:

Finally got it to work.

@GyroZeppeli That is pretty neat as a novelty piece, but I can't expect it to be useful for much else. lol Thanks for the comparison.

I have an iPhone 7 case and I have absolutely no idea what to do with it, mainly because I don't have an iPhone 7 (more of an Android person). Any ideas?

@Link-Hero That doesn't help much.

@Anti-Matter A honest question; why restrict yourself to buying a certain number of games per system? I've seen you talk about this before, like it's some kind of quota you need to reach. Why not just buy the games you're interested in, the games you want to play? Why does the number of games matter?

@TheAwesomeBowser buy a iphone 7 and put your case on it. Hope I helped

@TheAwesomeBowser Write a long essay about how much you dislike NSO, then put it in the case, spray it with flexseal, toss it in the ocean. Someone will read it in a few months.

OMG that carnivore thread is hilarious.
I fear that I was so productive yesterday that I will not accomplish as much today. Does anyone else ever feel like they have a productivity cap? Or am I just lazy? XD

@Anti-Matter gamecube has great games. After your post I digged up my games and all the boxed ones I found, sold so many too but these are all on my Wii u so don’t need these out.

Okay, let me evaluate your games choices.
(V) = Yes
(X) = No
1. Mario Kart Double Dash = Not interested with just only 4 Cups, No Retro. (X)
2. Super Mario Sunshine = I have consider that game on my shopping list after long deliberation. (V)
3. Paper Mario The Thousand Years Door = Oooh, I really interested with that game. I have consider that game at the first time i add Gamecube games. (V) (V) (V)
4. Mario Power Tennis = Nah.... Not so interesting as Tennis on Bomberman Battles. (X)
5. Super Smash Bros Brawler = Hell No ! (X)(X) (X)
6. Luigi Mansion = It's already on 3DS, so i will consider the 3DS version. (X)
7. Crazy Taxi = I have ever saw the gameplay from Arcade and what the heck...! (X)
8. Zelda Wind Waker = It's also on Wii U in HD remaster, the Link was so cute in Chibi form, but.... I still not fond with the whole concept of Zelda world, so Nope. (X)
9. Wario World = Nah...! Don't like with Wario at all. (X)
10. Metroid Prime = I'm not fan of Action games with intense shooting and creepy enemies, so Definetely No. (X) (X) (X)
11. Mario Golf Toadstool Tour = I'm Terrible at Golf gaming, even on Bomberman Battles PS2 and Mario Golf World Tour 3DS, i still cannot play golf precisely. So, Nope for me rather than frustration after i got the game. (X)

So, from 11 Gamecube games you offered, Only 2 Gamecube games i Approved.

@Anti-Matter I feel like you might enjoy Electrobits on Wii. Have you seen that?

@JackEatsSparrows
I have watched the videos from Youtube just now and....
What the heck was the Objection in the game ?
Was it like half Pikmin half Ghostbuster (Capture all those Elebits creatures) ?

@Anti-Matter Pssst...

objection
/əbˈdʒɛkʃ(ə)n/

• an expression or feeling of disapproval or opposition; a reason for disagreeing.
  "they have raised no objections to the latest plans"
  synonyms: protest, protestation, demur, demurrer, remonstrance, remonstration, exception, complaint, grievance, moan, grumble, grouse, cavil, quibble, expostulation;
• the action of challenging or disagreeing with something.
  "his view is open to objection"

You meant to say "what is the object of this game?"

Well, the object is to manipulate objects in an area or room, to hunt and find Elebits/Electrobits:

The player manipulates objects in the world in order to hunt for Elebits, using the Wii controller as a "capture gun" similar to the Gravity Gun in Half-Life 2. As the majority of Elebits on a given level are hidden within or underneath objects, players must interact with the environment to reveal these hidden Elebits. Throughout the game, the Wii controller's motion-sensing abilities are gradually introduced. With selected objects, players turn, pull, and wave the Wii Remote to perform a variety of actions including opening a door (twisting the doorknob), pulling out drawers, turning on a faucet, tossing a variety of items, smashing vases against a wall, etc. Moving the Wii Remote without selecting an item rotates the player's camera-view, while the Nunchuk is used to move, crouch, and stretch.

As more Elebits are collected during a given level, the area's energy is gradually restored. This causes dark rooms to become well-lit, and more importantly, allows various electrical appliances to be utilized. Once sufficient power is available, players can activate these appliances, such as computers, microwaves and electric toy-cars, which in return release Power-Elebits. Power-Elebits, when captured, slowly increase the strength of the "capture gun", allowing the player to lift and move heavier objects.

Some levels of the game feature additional conditions for successful completion. These include a limitation on how many breakable objects can be broken (i.e., a limit on property destruction), and/or a limitation on how much noise the player can make when interacting with the environment. Since Elebits themselves can cause objects to move or fall, players must be careful to take this into account when rousing them.

The mood of the Elebits, indicated by graphics above their heads, can affect how many watts the player earned when they are captured. Elebits that are happy or calm provide more watts, Elebits that are angry or scared provide less watts and Elebits that are sad or sick provide a normal number of watts. Special power-up items can assist in taming the mood of the Elebits; one can put nearby Elebits to sleep, while another can help lure Elebits towards it. Other temporary power-ups are also available that can increase the power of the Capture Gun, muffle all sound, or enable auto-lock-on for the Capture Gun, among other effects.

Not all Elebits are captured easily. Some will move quickly or fly around, while others will attempt to attack the player, which damages the Capture Gun. In some cases, an Elebit must be thrown against an object or hit with an object as to stun it. If the Capture Gun takes too much damage, the level ends prematurely in failure.

After completing a level, the player is given a ranking based on the time it took to gain the required number of energy from Elebits, how much extra energy from Elebits they captured, the condition of the Capture Gun, and when part of the level requirements, how many times the player made too much noise, or when objects were broken. Achieving a high rank allows for players to use objects from that level within Edit mode.

The game supports up to four players in a competitive multiplayer mode.
