@NintendoByNature Man, that’s coming along quicker than I’d thought!

@bimmy-Lee Happy anniversary to y’all

@Tyranexx I’m more partial to Brave Little Toaster than Homeward Bound

@ThanosReXXX Glad you’re feeling a bit better.

@HobbitGamer Weirdly enough, I don't think I've ever seen Brave Little Toaster despite the fact that many call it a classic. It just wasn't a movie that I was exposed to as a kid. I was mostly exposed to Disney and Don Bluth films to a lesser extent. XD I'll be sure to track it down sometime.

@Tyranexx oh yea in full observation mode . They all laughed at my first trap but I'm the one laughing now.
@bimmy-lee is it an anniversary for ya? If so congrats!
@HobbitGamer thankfully, it was getting frustrating . at

Played marvel ultimate alliance 3 for a couple hours and I'm pleasantly surprised with how much I like it. It blew me away honestly. The amount of characters is sweet. already got spidey whos arguably my favorite marvel character of all time. But I honestly cannot wait until I get dare devil. he's also up there

@Tyranexx - I’ll still watch it too. It’s been on my tv at least 25 times in the last three years. My daughter has been crazy about it since the age of two. Stone cold classic, and the sequel is good too, though not as good as the original of course.

@HobbitGamer - Thanks friend, you’re off the hook for anniversary salutations for me in October, but I think your thinking of NBN’s recent anniversary. Earlier, when we were talking about kid’s shows, I asked you if you ever watched Today’s Special.

@NintendoByNature - Well done today man. I’ve never played Monster Hunter, but I think you’re supposed to spend tonight making weapons and armor out of your slain kittens. Seriously though, you did a great thing. Sounds like most of them are going to homes, but even if this last one goes to a shelter, it has a shot at a decent life. You did good.

We saw The Lion King.

It honestly made me laugh out loud at a certain point, and timon and pumba made me chuckle a few times.

@bimmy-Lee well at least I’m covered. And no, I never saw that. It sounds like I dodged a bullet. I did enjoy Are You Afraid of the Dark. Oh, and that episode of Salute Your Shorts about Zeke the Plumber.

@NintendoByNature You. Happy anniversary to you. 😂

@Tyranexx Brave Little Toaster had the original staff of Pixar, it’s a lot like Toy Story. Love me some Bluth films. Except Rockadoodle. We don’t talk about that.

@StableInvadeel I heard there’s not as much farting of Pumba

@NintendoByNature The last laugh is the best laugh! Glad that it sounds like the young furballs are relatively healthy and heading to decent homes or at least places that can foster them for a little while.

I wonder how many times you've been asked to keep one by this point....

@bimmy-lee I agree that it's a classic, as is the sequel....But yeah, the sequel isn't QUITE as good, though that's one of the movies where my siblings and I borrowed our "creeper van" references. The other that comes to mind is the freakish clown truck from Air Bud.

@HobbitGamer I have seen a video clip for the "Cutting Edge" song from that movie, now that I think about it. Hopefully I fit in the rest of the film soon.

...Yeah, we don't talk about Rockadoodle.

@HobbitGamer there's at least four pumba farts and at least one more fart joke that doesn't involve actual farting.

Besides that, I guess, there's very few elements that this introduces that were not in the original, among them, the obligatory female empowerment scene. (which this movie handled a bit more organically than Aladdin and Endgame, tbh).

It's almost 1:1 with the original. Just less... Animated.

@kami130 Which is why I said we already have an existing thread. Please ask there for 3DS friends.

@bimmy-lee Ah, of course. Karen on the rooftop.
Forgot all about that hipster party trailer. I'm getting old...

As for digital games: I never trade in games either, but that's not a consideration for digital or physical for me. What happens when companies stop supporting services concerning those games, or removing/disabling those games entirely, is.

I'd hate to think that at some point, all our prized game collection will amount to, is a rather intangible collection of zeros and ones, with nothing to show for it, other than thumbnails on a console's home or game list page...

@Tyranexx Thanks, very kind of you, ma'am. (makes courteous bow)

And I think I can largely agree with your view. As I said to NES earlier, I'm not at all in favor of a complete abolishment, but better control, and more importantly: better (and faster) cooperation between the various instances that are supposed to oversee that control, would be more than welcome.

If various shop owners actually are doing all the background checks and making people fill out elaborate forms to make sure that crazy people don't get their hands on an automatic weapon, but the subsequent paperwork gets stuck in the mud at some law enforcement/legal department, then all their trouble goes to waste.

And of course the other fair point that you as well as @NEStalgia made, is that it might not be a bad idea if we started to put more effort into looking at why people fly off the handle so often, and if something can be done to diminish it. I'm not going to expect it to disappear entirely, because that would be highly unrealistic, but bringing down the numbers should be doable.

@HobbitGamer Thanks!

Just sitting here in a rented park pavilion, all alone, sipping a beer and enjoying the calm after the storm that was my kid’s combined, extended family birthday party. My wife took the kids home for nap time, and I’m supposed to clean up after the party. Wondering how long I can make this last? Two hours? Three? It’s so quiet.

@ThanosReXXX - Don’t tell me you’re getting so old you’ve stopped going to rooftop parties with impossibly hip and beautiful young people dressed head to toe in snazzy pastel clothes?!? Ah, what can I say, I’m getting up there too. I don’t go to nearly as many these days either.

I’m a collector at heart, so all digital was a weird choice for me to make, but as I said, I just enjoy having everything stored right on this particular machine. Also, my early intentions were to fill my Switch up with good games, and then eventually hand it down to my kids. Now that the Switch Lite is coming, they’ll probably end up with one of those in a few years, but my original intention was to someday hand them my Switch and an extra set of joy con as their first console and tell them to have fun.

That’s fine as long as you have immaculate clothes and perfect hair, you can still be in the commercial. Nintendo is for everyone, and that includes the on/under the roof people.

@bimmy-lee Well, I don't know about you or anyone else on here, but at my age, most people in my circle of friends and family are either living together, married, or otherwise entangled/chained to any number of daily/weekly obligations, which makes it ever more difficult to hook up with friends, seeing as I've been the only one that's single, ever since the last couple of years.

So, basically, I've got all the time in the world, and they've got practically none...

But in all seriousness, most parties I attend, are their birthday parties, or the yearly holiday related events, and most times when I meet up with my friends, we go for a burger and a movie, which happens about 3 to 4 times a year. Other than that, there's the odd "outside of birthdays" visit here and there, and that's about it, so definitely no hipster parties, nights on the town, bar flying, or concerts. Welcome to my life. I would laugh, if it wasn't actually kinda sad and sucky...

But I've got my games and my Bacardi to keep me company, so I'll live.

Oh, and DEFINITELY no pastel-tinted clothes.
