Topic: The Chit-Chat Thread

@bimmy-lee It's all fun and games pretending it's not a word. But she'll learn quickly the next time she kicks daddy in the shin. The time is so short between "is f-buck a word?", and the discovery of Hot Topic.

@bimmy-lee no problem dude.

@ThanosReXXX
I will play those Ratchet PS3 games once i got the machine and the games. I promise. I will get the machine on January 2020 with at least 2 PS3 starter games.

Btw, did you play Planet 51 by SEGA ?
That game have been released on PS3, XBOX 360 & Wii. I saw Planet 51 looked like Crazy Taxi somehow. Is that good game ?

@Anti-Matter I meant play it BEFORE you buy, so you can have a better idea before you spend money on a game that you might not like after all...

And yes, I did play Planet 51, but a VERY long time ago, on the Wii. It was okay. There's Crazy Taxi type gameplay in there, but it's more like a kid-friendly GTA open world game, with 3D platforming elements, so you might like it.

@ThanosReXXX Will do. The only thing is I'm currently on a self-imposed game buying embargo for a little while. I haven't picked up anything for a couple of weeks now and don't intend to again until after Christmas. I've been trying to restructure how I pick up games after the DS/3DS game fiasco I went through earlier this year.

@Tyranexx First some self-imposed time away from the site, now a self-imposed restriction to buy video games...
Are you moving from one embargo to the next?

All kidding aside, though, I totally get that. I had somewhat of a similar situation last summer, when I bought too many games and pre-ordered the Sega Mini on top of that, making me go WAY over budget, so I can definitely relate. I'm hoping to have some extra money left at the end of this month, so I can finally spoil myself with some new games and/or hardware again...

I was kind of a sheltered kid for a little while in regards to swearwords. I knew a few of them but gradually got introduced to other meanings over time. I had to have the f-bomb and all related devices explained to me at age 10 after I got into the habit of using my middle finger to point sometimes. I was totally innocent of that particular hand gesture before that.

@ThanosReXXX What happened was that, since the 3DS is on the way out, I went a bit crazy trying to pick up a few games before their prices started surging up. A couple were also on clearance at my local Walmart and were much higher online otherwise.

Throw in a small handful of DS games I realized were missing from my collection and you get a recipe for some crazy spending. XD

@Tyranexx Ah, I figured as much. Bit of FOMO creeping in there, huh?
Back in the day, I solved that particular problem for my all my DS'es (Phat, Lite and DSi XL) by buying smart cards/flash cards for all of three of them, but for the 3DS, I just stopped buying games at some point. I don't even have that many, but I'm not really using it anymore either, so I might buy some more if I come across them in a bargain bin or something, but other than that, I'm more focused on current gen hardware now.

And besides: across all handhelds and consoles, my back log is already more than big enough as is...

@ThanosReXXX The good news is that I'm content with my 3/DS collection for the time being, so now I can focus more on other platforms. There are about three or four 3DS games on my "maybe" list right now, none of which I'm dying to have...yet. If only I didn't like RPGs so much....

I place some of the blame on that Best DS Games list the site did a couple of months back. Then I wouldn't have realized, after research, that I needed both Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective and Dragon Quest Heroes: Rocket Slime....

I will focus on hunting PS1/PS2/PS3/PS4/PSP i haven't get yet on year 2020.
I will take hiatus for a while from buying Switch games since i have to hunt rare old games from Ebay / playasia as my main priority.

@Tyranexx I'm just here to point out that both Rocket Slime and Ghost Trick are awesome. Love those games, both should be more well known than they are.

I haven't really been buying any PS4/X1 games due to having barely touched most games for a little while. I've still been buying the major Switch releases when they come up. At this point I'm going to save Luigi's Mansion for next Halloween. When you're already most of the way to Christmas, it's just too late to open that gem. Oh well.... Never made it through FE3H....I finished up Ys 8 at least. Sw/Sh is up next. First I need to get some Galvanized Chainmail of Verbal Dexterity +2 and a firehose.

@kkslider5552000 I had heard of Rocket Slime before that list from a YouTube video that listed someone's top ten Dragon Quest games. The manual enough is pun-happy, so I'm sure it's something I'll enjoy.

I hadn't heard of Ghost Trick at all and wondered why it had scored so highly. That decision only took a little homework and some gameplay videos of the early parts of the game. XD

Ghost Trick is truly an excellent game.

It’s also on iOS, though I’ve never played that version. I assume it’s not that different from the DS one.

Not gonna lie, i still thinking about Ratchet PS3 games until today. Like my hype about PS3 suddenly made me anxious and excited at the same time. I have no PS3 hype at all after i sold all my PS3 games i have on year 2015, but now i regain my PS3 hype again after i have found White PS3 Slim at my local game shop and Ratchet PS3 were still arousing my mind. I don't know what happened to me.

My dad has finally discovered that his copy of photoshop elements does, in fact, come with the option to deform text and add borders, etc.

Turns out all this time he had been going back and forth between photoshop and his 2000’s photo editing software just to add decorations.

This new psy/fairy Rapidash is beastly. Psycho Cut is my favorite move since Psybeam.

I've been watching the Irishman in 30 minute increments and it's pretty good. Surprise appearance by Sebastian maniscalco which is pretty cool. Didn't see that coming

For some reason, this brought to mind a sort of Psycho parody where Galaridash psychically chases unsuspecting trainers around with levitating knives.

It's been a long day. X_X

@Tyranexx I'd be okay with that version. Like using Sword's Dance, but useful...
