Topic: The Chit-Chat Thread

@bimmy-lee I'm in agreement. Tubular dudes use the extra Z. Glad you're on the cool side now. Yea thanks man. Alot of soup and salad honestly. It's hard as someone who loves and adores all kinds of food, but gotta stick with it. About 15 or so more to go. And good on you dude. Let me know how the lack of beer has helped in the diet.

@NintendoByNature Heck YES! I knew you'd enjoy Hyrule Warriors! Many of the heroes' movesets are very fun to play around with. They definitely did a decent job of throwing a lot of the Zelda cast into a Musou game. It's also a nice game to let off some steam IMO.

@Heavyarms55 Whether or not the guy was lying through his teeth, sounds like that was still an interesting conversation! I don't blame him for leaving the job though; IMO no amount of money makes up for things like family and work/life balance. But that's just me.

And yes. Golf is terrifying.

@bimmy-lee Multiple enemies on-screen cause some slowdown in that game as well.

Captain Novolin is probably worth a play just for the lulz, but it's not something I'd recommend tracking down normally. XD It's almost Big Rigs level bad.

@Tyranexx thats what I love about it. Just some good slashing through 1000s of enemies. And i gotta say; it's great playing as darunia, I'm a big goron fan 😂

@Tyranexx Leaning towards? He's at it full-on, so I have no doubt about what he's doing.
All kidding aside, though, besides the short-sightedness what I truly dislike about this individual, is that he's not only generalizing an entire range of various types of games based upon aesthetics alone, but what REALLY ticks me off is that he's also telling, no almost commanding people not to play them, because otherwise, you're any number of the dumb choice of words that he inserted here and there. It's beyond pathetic. People like that should be VERY glad that they aren't addressing me like that in real life...

@bimmy-lee Yeah, I know that feeling. Same here. My basic education was nothing much to write home about, and neither was my college education. I had what they call the "fun package" over here, meaning languages, economy, history, art class, PE, biology and geography. Only after that did I seriously start to consider what I wanted to do, and most of my other educations and diplomas were done on the job.

@NintendoByNature Told you that you’d enjoy it. Just wait till you start upgrading attack moves, then it gets really fun.

@HobbitGamer it's pretty sweet. Ya know I've tried upgrading weapons and stuff, I think I'm doing it correctly, but I'm not sure. Either way, I'm enjoying it.

@NintendoByNature My personal favs out of the good character bunch are Sheik, Impa, and Link. Darunia was a bit slow for my liking long-term, but he's still pretty fun.

Now I'm tempted to dip back into my Wii U file at some point.

@ThanosReXXX Okay, maybe I was a bit too nice with the description there.

In any case, I think we're in agreement over the whole thing. Saying that everything within a certain animation style is the same is bonkers. To borrow from the stop-motion genre, that would be like saying Wallace & Gromit is the exact same thing as The Nightmare Before Christmas.

What I found the most grating were the "weeb" comments. There are as many different reasons to like the anime art style as there are people. I don't like all anime shows, games, etc. (Not into slice of life or romance, for example, and believe me when I say some anime tropes do nothing for me. ), but to me there's nothing wrong with people enjoying things I don't care for. Clearly some market for it exists.

I'm pretty sure @NEStalgia mentioned not having enough palms for their face recently. I was reaching that point with that individual.

@Electricmastro How does one write articles for the site? Because I'm starting out in journalism, and I would like to hear some advice, please.

First you take a pen, then a piece of paper.

Then you write a strongly worded letter to the admins.

@Tyranexx impa and link are both solid picks. I haven't played as skiek yet 😋.

Best. Essay. Ever!

@NintendoByNature I really enjoyed playing as a couple of the villains too, but I don't want to spoil anything just yet. Let's just say I like how they gave one character a more humanoid appearance.

@Tyranexx The only anime that really matters is Robotech, anyway.

@NEStalgia screams in pure horror!

@Tyranexx It was very interesting. On other nights though, when the hotel was quiet, I actually played through Pokemon Blue while sitting behind the desk.

@HobbitGamer I'll be honest...I've heard of that one but haven't seen it. I'm guessing I should pencil that one in at some point? I just recently got back into some anime and manga with My Hero Academia. I also have the first three volumes of Fullmetal Alchemist sitting around that i haven't been able to read yet.

@Heavyarms55 Can't argue with a classic like Pokemon Blue! I played my own copy to death back in the day and even did some of the Missingno. glitches. Mainly the replication glitch to make the grind easier.

Did you get through any other games during that time frame?

On monday I found out that my local library has a lot of manga! Anyone know a good series to cut my teeth on?

I guess that kinda depends on what kind of manga you like to read.

My brother is collecting the Cardcaptor Sakura reprints they've been selling here in Mexico.

@Tyranexx While on the job? I just played a lot of Hearthstone at that time. I remember pulling a Golden Sylvanas - which was real cool. I didn't spend that much time gaming at work, just when everything was done and no one was around in the middle of the night.

I have 3000 Baht Sam Manga as Extra chapter from Tekken Chinmi Gaiden vol 1

Summary from website:
Sam is a young boy in Thailand. Not like other kids who can play happily, Sam has to train everyday at a Thai Boxing gym because when he was small his parents sold him to that gym for money. Everyday Sam undergoes a tough training. But Sam also has a wish. To become a champion so he can taste a happy life. It sounds impossible but a few years later due to an accident he finally gets the chance to meet the champion, who also happens to be his idol!
