Even Justin is wearing Christmas colors. How jolly.

@Eel The most wonderful time of the year

@Tyranexx Ahoy there! As promised, here is the info about that movie from the Intwine music video.

At the bottom of that page, there's a link to IMDb, for even more info, in case you want to know more.

Yooooo Let's Go! I finally won a round in Faster Than Light! This game is hard as balls, but it does feel really good to actually win!

@Tyranexx among us only has micro transactions for clothes. Really don’t need to spend anything. It’s a great game, and after a few matches I’m sure you’ll know how to play just fine.

@Blooper987 Phew, I was hoping the microtransactions would be for something unnecessary like that. Sounds like it's fairly easy to pick up too. IIRC the game has been out for a little while, but it recently picked up steam due to streamers and YouTubers? Thanks for the input!

@Tyranexx
I want to ask about monster breeding games.
Have you ever know about Monster Rancher on PS1 and PS2 ?
Monster breeding game by TECMO which you can combine 2 monster become a monster A with color skin of monster B and you can get the monsters by inserting other CD or DVD into PS1 / PS2 machine to check the code inside and generate fixed monster from specific discs.
I grew up by Monster Rancher 2 and 4 on PS1 and PS2 as when i compare the storyline and gameplay between Pokemon and Monster Rancher, in my honest opinion, the storyline of Pokemon was too scripted and fake, didn't really feel natural like if you faced with dangerous villains, they were really dangerous threat and no joking.
I started to enjoy Pokemon games from Pokemon X first then add with another Pokemon games but every single Pokemon games i felt they were identical, same repetitive meet with Gym leader, all of them too scripted for me.
When i have idea for better Pokemon gameplay but Not limiting by 4 abilitirs only (Monster Rancher let you keep all abilities), some peoples bashing my idea because it was too different, didn't feel like Pokemon games. When peoples keep asking something new for Pokemon games but when the new ideas implemented, peoples complaining for too many changes. I never understand what are the peoples want for the better changes.

@Tyranexx Among Us doesn't have any major microtransactions and the game can be understood quickly. If you still have trouble, you could look up a tutorial for Among Us.

If there's one tip I can give to you is that when you're the imposter, don't vent or kill in front of anyone or the security cameras. And Among Us players are generally gullible, so you can lie about anyone and mostly get away with it.

@Tyranexx I played the heck out of Y. But not for it's story. I bred several shinys and played a lot of wifi battles. It's still my highest playtime of a single save file in any game ever. Lol.

I played a bit of Go today too. Didn't get anything special but nabbed a few gen 6 mons.

Would be cool to play Among Us with people from the forums. Though it seems it requires everyone being able to communicate properly for it to be the most fun.

So setting it all up seems like a bit of a hassle.

@Tyranexx Wow, that's one heck of a text wall to wade through. And here I was thinking that me and @NEStalgia were the champions in that regard...

As for the movie: I wasn't aware that you had a taste for foreign and/or art house movies.

On a side note: I also don't know if there's a dubbed or subbed version of it, so there's that as well.

@Eel if everyone had discord it wouldn’t be too hard.

@Anti-Matter I've heard of Monster Rancher and did watch some of the anime back in the day. I haven't played any of the games however. Those PS1/2 games sound like they're fun! I do pick up alternative monster games every now and again: I've played Monster Hunter Stories and the first two 3DS Yo-kai Watch games for example.

I can see how you think Pokemon games can be repetitive. I've usually stuck with them for the mechanics and exploration in more recent entries than the story. There are some dark themes hidden in the games at times, but they can only do so much when it's aimed at children. Though X/Y (the sixth generation games) have the worst plot in the series IMO, with a few bright spots in there...mostly related to Pokemon Trainer AZ.

@HotGoomba___Rebrand That's reassuring. Sounds like it's a fun game! I didn't think it would be too complex, I was just curious how easy it was to pick up. I suppose only I can answer that lol.

@Heavyarms55 The main reason I picked up Y, besides it being part of a new Pokemon generation, was because I liked Yveltal's design more, though Xerneas is pretty decent too. The cover legendary is part of the deciding factor, along with what version exclusives I desire more. I think I sunk maybe 100 hours into the game, whereas I clocked about 300 hours into Black 2 according to my 3DS log lol.

I did like a lot of the mechanics introduced in X/Y, particularly Mega Evolution, as OP as it sometimes is.

@ThanosReXXX I can belt them out on occasion, particularly when I need to strong together a few responses. Probably should have broken that one up a little.

I do have a curiosity for foreign movies, depending on the subject matter. Though a subbed version at the very least would be desirable.

KoF 15 is gonna be shown off on January 7th!

Yeah, it's a shame there isn't a way to post a status on the Switch to say, I'm down to play this game with someone, if anyone is interested.

Okay, let me come clean: There were no sea peoples, It was me who caused the bronze age collapse. Sorry.

@Tyranexx I also agree that Yveltal was a cooler design. Although Xerneas is the most OP Pokemon ever created because Geomancy + Power Herb is just outrageous.

I usually end up choosing the secondary, or "Blue", version of the generation. Interestingly enough, it isn't always the one with blue in the cover.

For example, Shield is red in it's theming, but the exclusive and legendary pokemon available fall more in line with the blue versions of the past.

I dunno how it ends up happening. But my brain knows what to pick by default.

@Eel I choose the one with the cooler (or cuter) cover
