@ThanosReXXX Actually I doubt that anyone will even remember Brie in 10 years let alone the opinions about her.

People nowadays know her only because of her statements not her movies. It will fade away in time. When they hear Brie they will think about cheese.

@ThanosReXXX haha yea it's true. Never appealed to my younger self. But I'm slightly intrigued now. Not sure why.

@ThanosReXXX - It’s like people got so scared about a hypothetical toilet paper crisis that they just went out and created a real toilet paper crisis. I’m totally with you, constipation for all the ridiculous panic buyers, it’s the very least they deserve. We scored a Costco bundle of TP packages yesterday, so we’re good for a while. Hope you’re able to get some soon. Consider baby wipes in an emergency, they’ve been slightly more available than TP around here for some reason.

@HobbitGamer - This game is hilarious dude. I played some last night, but promised my kids I’d save a bunch of stuff for them today. I still haven’t acquired the DIY recipe for the pole, so I can’t vault rivers yet. I want to see your island and goof around with you. I’ll probably be developing mine at a slower pace with the kiddos. We have cherries for our fruit. We have different things on our islands I think, right? Release the poo.

@NintendoByNature - I spent my first few hours with AC yesterday, and I immediately got it. It’s pure escapism. There’s very little “game” in there, yet it’s super compelling to just do stuff, collect stuff, and make stuff so you can do and collect more stuff. It’ll be clear to you in about five minutes if it’s something you love, or not for you at all. It should definitely have a demo for that reason, but probably doesn’t have a demo for that reason.

I know you like a challenge, and that’s not here from what I’ve seen, but I know you also like character progression, and that’s here in spades. Fishing isn’t really skill based, it’s purely a mini game and only consists of hitting a button at the right time. It’s a bit disappointing and simple, but still oddly fun. Figured you’d like to know about that activity in particular. Personally, I’ve spent the last 24 hours thinking about it every minute I haven’t spent playing it, and I might have dreamed about it last night.

@Tyranexx - I imagine, “Release the poo”, in a loud, booming Zeus voice. “Poseidon... release the POO!!!” There was another Zoom meeting Last night that I skipped in order to play games. I need to make one of these here soon to see what it’s all about. I’ve never used Discord either.

@Zuljaras Oh, they'll remember her alright: hate is like wine. It gets richer with age...

@NintendoByNature Because it's SO relaxing to play, because you don't HAVE to do anything in the game, other than live and enjoy life and the environment. It's a VERY mellow game, and we older people like to relax from time to time, especially when we've had a crappy day at work...

@Eel Well, as long as it isn't about a princess recycling or reusing toilet paper, it might even be somewhat of an interesting twist to the tale...

@bimmy-lee I'm going to give it another try in half an hour. Trip to the local store, see what they have, or haven't. Probably going to be in vain, but the weather's nice, so at least I'll get a healthy stroll out of it, and some much needed vitamin B...

As for Greek Gods yelling stuff about releasing excrement, I'd say that the God of the underworld might be a more fitting suspect for that, than the All-Father of them or the one that manages the oceans...

@bimmy-lee I'm in agreement with you, a demo would be nice. And I really appreciate all the insight. I kind of understood the Game, but never played more than say 5 minutes of new leaf with my daughter. Not sure why, 15 or so years after the first game I want to dive in. Maybe seeing you guys talk about it and all the NL articles. Or maybe it's the doom n gloom mixture of bad Chicago weather and corona virus talk thats got me wanting something pleasant.

Either way, I'm more likely to pull the trigger than not. Might stop at Wal-Mart today before the stay at home order we have. Problem is my backlog just got a little bigger with doom 64, ff7 and dragon quest just bring purchased this week. I at least finished darksiders 2 last night which takes a big game off the list. But i have those 3 games I mentioned, assassin's creed rebel collection and most of III. So should i get It? Probabaly not. Do i have self control? Nope. So you, eel, hobbit and I can share stuff from each others towns?

@ThanosReXXX some people do not understand AC because of its gameplay. For some no action = no fun. Sad. I played it for just 1-2 hours and it is relaxing. You don't have to worry about difficulty etc.

Speaking about princess and recycle things, there is a story book in my school library with title The Paperbag Princess.

@Zuljaras @NintendoByNature Indeed. It's VERY relaxing, and especially what with people being cooped up with each other due to all the virus trouble, this is an excellent way to escape all the daily troubles.

On a side note: Go Vacation is another one of those titles, and one that I'd also especially recommend to people with children.

@NintendoByNature Oh, and yes, you can share stuff or make stuff for or on each other's islands, and you can also visit and do a little bit of vandalism or graffiti, if you like...

@Anti-Matter Hm, that looks kind of familiar. Might be that one of the kids in my family owns it or once borrowed it from the library.

@Anti-Matter thanks. I'm not only into playing violent games. I play Yoshi Mario kart all sorts of non violent games. I just never played a AC game. I would totally name my island margaritaville. Seems fitting for my island life style 😂

@ThanosReXXX - Keep good social distance, and at least your worst case scenario is a nice walk and some sunshine as you mentioned. We finally got out for a walk yesterday after a week of crap weather. It was great to get out. There was tons of sunshine during breakfast and getting ready to go out, but it clouded over about halfway through our walk. It was sunny on the IsleOfBim when we got home and into some AC though.

Have you seen Clash of the Titans? I watched the original one repeatedly as a kid. It was always on TV. At the end of the movie, Zeus orders Poseidon to, “Release the Krakan.” Can you imagine how much pressure you’d be under if Zeus suddenly appeared and ordered you to release the poo? It would be terrifying.

@NintendoByNature - Yeah, it seems like we can hang out on our islands and do stuff. I didn’t know about sneaking around and doing graffiti, that sounds amazing. I don’t know much about it yet, but I’m about to fire it up with my kids and build a birdhouse we’ve been wanting, haha! I found a bulletin board where I think we can leave messages as well. I was definitely swayed by our sudden change in lifestyle. I imagine the game is getting a huge bump in downloads as a result of this. I would consider a digital version for this one. I had also been gaining an unexpected amount of hype for it in the last month.

@bimmy-lee sounds like it could be a good time. But I think i would do the physical at Wal-Mart since they usually have it $10 off. But part of me knows it would be better off as a digital game in spurts.

As soon as I read "Brie Larson" in the headline and saw how many comments were already there, I knew the article wasn't for me. I'm really trying to keep myself in a better mood after yesterday. Clicking into a poostorm article isn't gonna help me on that front. Unless I want to sustain a concussion from constant facepalming.

I'm currently stretching my legs and playing some PoGo for a few minutes at a park on the way home from my dentist appointment. Then I'll eat once I get home, play a little LA, then get to an office organization project I've really been needing to do. I need to better sort some paperwork and declutter a bit.

@ThanosReXXX Store jousting is a bit out of character for me, but in these times some form of simple defense might be necessary before long. As for Black Friday....I do the sensible thing and stay at home or work. If I do any shopping on that day, it's online.

@bimmy-lee Sorry friend, I missed your reply until now. I started constructing that earlier reply while in the waiting room of my appointment and forgot to refresh!

A Poseidon voice would work, but a booming Caesar voice in the Coliseum would work too. TP warriors fighting poo monsters. It's like Conker, but with better animation!

I use Discord for some light chatter usually, but it's primarily used in the gaming sphere. One way my local PoGo group reports and keeps track of things (Pokemon nests, current raids, PVP tourneys, etc.) is by using it for communication and by enlisting the help of some bots to help organize things and send out alerts. It's quite handy.

@NintendoByNature - Can’t argue with a ten spot. I know it’s hard when it seems like people in this thread have a new game that you don’t have, or didn’t plan to purchase. It’s happened to me a few times. The mania usually passes pretty quick. I can’t believe the timing of AC though. A game based in escaping reality to a deserted island during a pandemic where almost everyone is trapped indoors... haha, it’s unreal timing.

@Tyranexx - Happens to me all the time, especially since I’m always doing this from my phone. I don’t always copy and refresh before I post, especially if it’s one I’ve been working on for a while and just want to move on. It can take me an hour of off and on typing to get a response out sometimes. That can be 35 pages if this thread is really moving! TP warriors, quick, tear them to shreds and sell them square by square at an incredible mark up.
