Topic: The Chit-Chat Thread

@HobbitGamer lol I watched part of it last night. It's COMPLETELY different than part 1. Like the tone and everything.

Certainly a lot to learn from this forum. I’ve laughed, I’ve cried, I’ve scratched my head...

@HobbitGamer Lucky you found a wall chicken. Some jerk came and whipped my wall. I was saving it until later.

@ThanosReXXX For real. Sounds like the Dutch government made an overly bold decision there. I will say that a protest occurring because the government is doing too much to reduce greenhouse gases, is a bit like bizzaro world compared to the US. All in all, there are worse problems to have. 😆

We are quite fond of sustaining our gangsta status.

All this wall chicken talk has me dyyying for one right now. Naturally, I punched over my trash can to see what was inside, but all that fell out was a freshly cooked turkey on a plate and an apple.

Speaking of chicken, here in Indonesia have an instant noodles with ready-2-eat real cooked chicken meat inside the package.

@bimmy-lee question: did you at least steal the turkey and Apple when your buddy needed it more than you? If you're answer is Yes, then you're alright by me...

I completely forgot about the Pokemon Direct this morning, but I've read the news coverage since. Overall, I'm mixed on all the news. I'd love to insert my two cents into one of the comment sections, but 300+ comments kills page loading on my phone and reeks of controversy anyway. I feel sorry for the mods sometimes.

I just got home about an hour ago from watching Richard Jewell. Definitely an interesting movie. While I think some artistic license was used with a few parts, I really hope the media and the mainstream audience take the movie's message to heart. The witch hunt surrounding the guy and any close to him must've been absolutely hellish.

@ThanosReXXX Yep, I've been definitely trying to work on my "self". I've been told that I'm definitely not as withdrawn as I used to be. I'll speak to people if I need to and still keep to myself when I desire, but I'm also no longer that silent mute in the corner that'll say no more to you than "hi" for a little while. XD

@NintendoByNature Stay safe! I've seen where your neck of the woods might get some ice. We're just gonna end up with too much rain here.

@Tyranexx Thanks! We're supposed to have people over Saturday for one of the little NBN's birthday but it's supposed to sleet/snow so we're pushing it to Sunday. I'd take regular rain over sleet any day 😋. Sleets the worst.

@NintendoByNature Bummer! Ah well, safety first right?

Sleet isn't fun, but I'll narrowly take that over freezing rain. This winter has been weird so far. I think November and January switched places.

@Tyranexx yea for sure. I'd rather us have a much early winter and be done with it by late feb.. btw I ended up having some extra eshop cred and grabbed 4 more Wii u vc titles making the total 6 in January. Im off to a good start.
-dkc2 (finished last night)
-superstar saga
-new super mario bros
-Yoshis story
-metroid zero mission
-Kirby and the amazing mirror

Have a 50 buck gs gift card too i might cash in for eshop cred

@NintendoByNature I can only speak for two of those: Metroid: Zero Mission and New Super Mario Bros. are both excellent. Zero Mission is a superb remaster of the original Metroid and adds its own spin on the series. NSMB is a good place to see where the modern 2D Mario entries began; I received it by accident for Christmas one year, but that was one of the best accidents ever.

@Tyranexx I played fusion last year and loved it. I have new smb for Wii but I think( hope) they're different from each other. I did love the Wii version although i never finished it. With that said, I'm sure I'll be in for a real treat with the ds version.

@NintendoByNature - That’s the game within the game man. It’s the meta game. Who can get there first without totally looking like they’re trying to get there first, gobble it up, and then say, “Whoops, sorry, didn’t realize you needed that more. I know I had full health, but... here, have my extra out of gloves. My hands are starting to sweat.”

@NintendoByNature They're different games from each other, so you should be safe. NSMB's graphics haven't aged the best, but I consider that a minor annoyance at worst. The minigames are also pretty fun and easy to get sucked into. XD

@bimmy-lee it's by far the best part of SoR..and you can only do it if you have full health, otherwise it's a worthless joke no one can appreciate. And you have to throw out "dang.. I was just trying to sock that guy dancin around with a switchblade and leather pants." I mean....you really gotta sell it. Pause the game throw your head in your hands and just sit there for a few minutes. Let them know you didn't mean to...knowing dang well you meant to, and gladly gobbled it up.

On a side note: I love that you threw in a dumb n dumber reference knowingly or unknowingly. Either way I liked it. Gee.....i thought the Rocky mountains would be a little rockier than this.

@tyranexx good to know. Finishing Yoshis story tonight and might jump into nsmb

@HobbitGamer No problem almost forgot.

@bimmy-lee Haha. Just take what’s yours. Your friend doesn’t need that spread shot either. Might as well grab 3 and be a total gangsta.

@NintendoByNature @NotTelevision - It really is one of the joys of two player gaming. How to grab everything, even if you don’t need it, while making it seem as though it was all completely unintentional. It’s an art form really. One of my Contra buddies of my youth was a wizard at it. I always wanted to punch him, but I couldn’t because I respected the gimmick and his mastery of it too much.

@ThanosReXXX "Me, thinking to myself:
"Well, that's nice, such a big update to Pokémon Sword and Shield. Practically all one could ever want. That finally oughta stop all the whining about how bad it is and how few Pokémon it has".
What the HECK was I thinking? Of COURSE these so-called "fans" aren't going to stop whining, because no matter how much is added, changed or improved, it'll probably never be enough. And the article already has close to 300 comments. I'm getting pretty sick and tired of all these cry babies..."

They whine with reason.

It also confirms that the main games are not worth 60$.

Maybe someday they will consider a complete version with everything on the cart but I doubt that. And we know Nintendo does not care much about preservation so in the future there might not be even a legit way to play on those expansion islands.

@Zuljaras I'm actually much happier with them doing the Mystery dungeon remakes than them doing Sword and Shield. My partner has Shield so I've seen him playing it docked and it just seemed so patronizing. The idea of you fighting at the champions league and they are still doing the whole, 'You did a super effective move, great job' type talk made me so ticked off that I knew I'd never settle too well into it. It just felt like Game Freak's only frame of reference for children was Dora the explorer.
