@NintendoByNature Naw, maybe I should just download the natural disaster DLC for Cities Skylines and do that.

@NintendoByNature I think Nostalgia Critic reviewed that at one point.

Reggie really didn't like Disaster: Day of Crisis, huh?
I enjoyed it, it's just this crazy cover shooter/motion control minigame/platforming(?) title, where there is stuff blowing up, earthquakes and tsunamis all the time. It's cool how there's a small disaster encyclopedia about every kind of disaster that unlocks after each chapter.

Not to mention the plot, with the wacky domestic terrorists (Reggie thought the cutscenes were too silly it appears, I like them.) and explosions everywhere.

To me it's of those janky, weird but very unique titles.

I don't visit GameStop often as most games are often cheaper at Walmart or online these days, plus I've slowed my game purchases to a trickle due to my current backlog situation. However, most of the employees at my local store are knowledgeable regulars who are usually pretty decent.

@NintendoByNature Very true. I've enjoyed every game in the mainline series, with or without partners.

My dad makes up some interesting words too. I can't post a lot of the most creative as they aren't very kind. That's probably where I inherited my habit of blending words every so often.

@bimmy-lee Favorite Zelda entry? That's a hard one. XD I either like or love all the mainline titles, though Tri Force Heroes pushed the boundaries of "like" quite a bit. I will list off my favorites (that I've played) in no particular order:

Console: A Link to the Past (though I first played the GBA port), Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, The Wind Waker, Twilight Princess

Handheld: A Link Between Worlds, The Minish Cap, Link's Awakening DX (though the Switch remaster is currently blowing this version out of the water)

I'm glad I didn't have to sit through a civil trial like that. I'm not the best at weighing evidence in such cases. A criminal trial would be more interesting to sit through.

@SheldonRandoms Happy birthday! Sounds like NY is on bar/restaurant lockdown too. Stay safe, and keep the crazy ones away!...I mean, TOAST!

@Heavyarms55
I felt angry to myself too when i saw Corona virus pandemic.
Like i want to scream "GET OUTTA FROM MY HOMETOWN, COVID19!! "
I want to say aloud that Corona virus is NOT a part of Judgement Day signs.
The Revelation was just made up by peoples, with some conspiracy within.
The future of the Earth will be NOT determined by the revelation prophecy.
It will be determined by our actions, whether to keep the Earth safe or just let the Earth become worst place to live.

@Heavyarms55 Haha good one!

My perspective is that I am a horrible person but still I want this virus situation to go as smoothly as possible for people and for businesses as well.

Also the virus is not that interesting. Not a single zombie on sight. I mean come on!!!

Heavyarms55

@Zuljaras I'm horrible just because I have this morbid curiosity in that I want to know how far it's gonna go. I want it to end ASAP, but I still want to know. It's weird.

And didn't you know, it's not the virus that leads to the zombies, it's the vaccine that'll do that!

I've been trying to reign in my dark humor and dry deliveries in this situation. Anyone who knows me IRL knows that I rarely ever wish anyone ill, but I do realize that some text or verbal comments of mine can be taken out of context or misinterpreted.

...Now, what happened to that TP-wrapped case of Corona in my trunk?....I think I left it near the water bottles and the fifty gallons of hand sanitizer....

...Ah! It's over here next to the dank memes and the portable bomb shelter!

As we have largely run out of things to do at work with no students, the entire table of 3rd year teachers is talking about Pokemon Sword and Shield, while 2rd year talks about Pokemon Go and 1st year sulks quietly. And I give out my FC to every coworker I hear mention Switch like some kind of creepy eavesdropper. (I'm an assistant language teacher and not attached to any one grade level)

@Tyranexx Real talk though, a portable bomb shelter would be rather useful.

Also, I was, for a while, making a lot of jokes about this situation too. In fact, the last day we had class here, I spent the entire day reminding myself "DO NOT MAKE END OF THE WORLD JOKES IN FRONT OF THE STUDENTS! DON'T DO IT!" and honestly, I just barely made it - though I made one to another teacher and she kinda just glared at me.

And I was making the overdone joke about drinking Corona too. As in the beer.

But now, after seeing the chaos in Europe and now America... I'm kinda past the jokes to the "okay, maybe I should start taking this a little more seriously now".

It's just that evil little voice in the back of my head wondering constantly "how bad is it gonna get? I kinda wanna know"

@Heavyarms55 True on the bomb shelter. That was a sort-of joke referencing the continued chaos if this becomes more long-term, which I'm almost expecting at this point. We're in the middle of an interesting almost-worldwide experiment of sorts, and like you I kind of want to see how it pans out...with as few casualties as possible of course. I don't find human suffering funny in the least, but the panic-buying and overreactions are a bit much IMO. Though that's starting to become less funny to me and more irritating on the behalf of those who do need such supplies and are having a hard time finding them. I haven't been affected by this (yet), but I know people who have been.

Bad (as in lame jokes and puns), dry humor is typically how I deal with weird, uncomfortable situations. For what I referenced above, I haven't propagated those tropes nearly as much as a lot of my social media and #random work channel feeds. I'm the sort who lightly jokes about a current predicament, though I try to refrain from doing so in moments I term inappropriate.

While I made the joke about buying a case of Corona, I've actually never had it. I'm normally not much of a beer fan.

@Tyranexx As to the beer thing - it is an acquired taste for sure. I didn't like it at first either. But I was a bad, bad kid. I started drinking any chance I got as young as like, 13ish. Which usually meant stealing cheap beer from my older cousins, or waiting for an aunt or uncle to be buzzed enough to not notice, or to be at a big family party where there were enough people that no one would keep track. But I grew to like it. Though if you ask people who love beer, the stuff I like, like Japanese lagers and light beers like Corona are not well respected. Not that I care.

Though I don't want to make it sound like I am some kind of raging alcoholic, I'm not, I rarely have more than one or two drinks in a night and I only drink every couple days.

And back on topic, of course I want as few casualties as possible! I'd not want this to happen at all if I could choose. It's kinda like - if it's happening anyway, I just want to know how bad it gets. Like I said, it's morbid curiosity.

3 more games added to the collection.

Untitled

Never played Final Fantasy Explorers but from what I have seen it is just like Monster Hunter but in FF universe.

TMNT on the NES will bring such sweet memories!

HobbitGamer

@Zuljaras Cool grab! I was awful at that TMNT game!

@HobbitGamer I remember when I was a kid and got this game (fake) on a fake famicom console.
Every time I was getting to the Shredder level and was unable to reach him. I beat it only once.

But I am very sad for the Asia version of Final Fantasy X where both games are on the cartridge for the Switch. I missed it from Play-Asia and now I see some idiots listing it for 400$ on eBay. And there is no sign of restocking. Damn!
