Topic: The Chit-Chat Thread

@Tyranexx the door was smashed in toward me. It was held in place only by twist and broken door parts. If I hadn't been so shaken, I would've been angry.

@Heavyarms55 Ouch, worse than I pictured; in my mind's eye it was somewhat dented and stuck shut from the impact. In any case, that vehicle should NOT have been driven anywhere until it had been repaired...if it wasn't technically totaled by that point.

@Tyranexx No it shouldn't have been driven. But we did manage to fix it. I drove it until it was almost literally falling to pieces years later.

Guys, help me to decide 1 more Kinect XBOX 360 game to make it 12 Kinect games. I was stuck with the choices.
The game must be :
USA version
Rated E or E10+
Requires Kinect, not Better with Kinect
Physical release, no Digital
XBOX 360 Only, not released on PS3 with Move
No Star Wars / Western Superheroes
No Just Dance
No Fitness games (boring!)
No Dance Central

The games i put on the list :
1. Kinect Adventures
2. Deca Sports
3. Dance Master / Dance Evolution
4. Kinect Sports 1
5. Kinect Sports 2
6. Kinect Rush Disney Adventures
7. Body & Brain Exercises
8. Kinectimals Now with Bears
9. Fantastic Pets
10. Disneyland Adventures
11. Kinect Joy Ride
12. ???

@Tyranexx (I know, another late reply lol) Oh that's cool - that's quite a few. Most of the ones I've seen were from the Disney Rennaissance era, which makes sense since I was born in the 90s! Most of my memories were from pretty much the first half of that era (as well as Toy Story 1), but I've seen stuff like Hercules and Mulan too. It's just that I have vague recollections of them.

Shifting gears a bit, I finally got back to the Dragon Quest XI demo. Kinda wanna wrap it up before Christmas. Yeah, I play too much Animal Crossing. XD

Hello! There are plans to make a Nintendo based webshow.... does anyone know if I can freely use images and videos of Nintendo for the intro and the show ?

Heh, yeah, that's why I said most stuff, @Tyranexx .... See how it all goes!

@korosanbo
I have decided to not add 1 multi console games for XBOX 360 as both PS3 and XBOX 360 have very terrible games list (too many rated 18+ games, too many Western franchises i never like, too many boring mainstream sports, not so interesting kids games).
I have watched Sesame Street Kinect from Youtube and.... It was No for me.
Too kindergarten like Dora. 😕

I don't consider Disney Infinity (All games) for these reasons :
I don't like Incredibles & Pirates of Caribbean for Disney Infinity 1, I completely Say Hell No for Marvel heroes for DI 2, Hell No for Star Wars on DI 3.
Hell No because i don't even like those Western franchises in the slightest, they looked so stupid and very awful for my taste. 😒

I cannot consider Banjo Kazooie for not so interesting 3D platformer. I tried to understand by watching from Youtube first but still didn't feel the chemistry. 🤔

Actually on my list, there are 4 Non Kinect Xbox 360 games (DDR UNIVERSE 1 - 3, Zoo Tycoon) and 11 Kinect games.
I want 1 more Kinect games to make it 12 Kinect games so i will have Top 16 XBOX 360 games with ratio 4 : 12 = 1 : 3 of XBOX 360 games. My games collection should have beautiful mathematic numbers (4, 6, 10, 12, 16, 20, 24, 25, 30, 50, etc)
It only consist XBOX 360 Exclusives with No multi console games.
I put All the multi console games on PS3 as PS3 games are Region Free and easily to be founded in my country than XBOX 360 games.

@Anti-Matter I'm gonna be honest, I'm kinda hurt that you don't like the Incredibles.

@HotGoomba___Rebrand
Well, not everyone have to like same thing.
I grew up with Japanese games, anime, mostly not interested with Western franchises as they are too mainstream and have uninteresting geometrical shapes and color schemes. My brain has been constructed to accept something Kawaii with Japanese style than Western stuffs.

I have ever watched The Incredibles movie but i didn't even impressed, nor even care after watching as i never like the design of Western superheroes costumes. But, i put Kinect Rush Disney Adventures on my list despite it has The Incredibles on it as i saw it has minor impact for me since i play as my own hero.

Btw, you will be surprised to see my Ice Skate Boxers and Avian Kickboxers once i finished my calendar 2021 projects. The design i made will be very Japanese style, not Western style.

@korosanbo
Geometrical shapes and color schemes are the shape and color combination from something that will captivating me or not.
For example, when i see Batman, Iron Man, Wonder Woman, etc, i don't even like them because the outfits looking, the character design by geometrical shapes looks boring and not interesting for my brain.
By color schemes, the color schemes were actually good but the idea and the storyline of the Western superheroes are never impressed me. I don't even want to wear their costumes for costume party, i feel stupid and horrendous by wearing them.

@Anti-Matter @korosanbo It's alright, it's ok to have opinions, I'm just some huge Pixar fan and do really enjoy superhero movies, so I can't relate, but I understand.

Incredibles is great. I'd go as far to say that it's my favourite Pixar movie. Despite that, I've not go round to watching the sequel yet.

Second and third place is trickier to decide though, maybe Monsters Inc and A Bugs Life. There's too many good Pixar movies to choose from.

@Tyranexx Yup, you do need those special leaves for rafting. Or do you... ?
As for setting fire to fields: it should only be used occasionally, and preferably when being able to catch some bokoblins in the blaze at the same time, but other than that, you'll be fine without. Definitely wouldn't want to turn you into a virtual pyromaniac...

Now, having said that, blowing up bokoblin campsites by firing a flaming arrow into one of those conveniently placed explosive barrels, is obviously another thing altogether...

@korosanbo I wouldn't even try to comprehend his train of thought, if I were you: it'll probably end up imploding your brain, or at the very least giving you a nagging headache...

In time you'll learn that it's just Anti being up to his old incomprehensible antics yet again. Only a special person like him could come up with something so nonsensical and irrelevant to decide which game or character to like...

Then again: he doesn't even need those weird excuses, seeing as by default, he's against anything Western-styled.

@Anti-Matter No offense, but I don't think that @HotGoomba___Rebrand is going to be surprised at all by your drawings, seeing as they're always the exact same style. The only time any of us will ever be surprised by them will be if you do something totally different than you've ever done before, which is probably never going to happen, so we're just going to see yet another entirely similar looking chibi/anthro kick-boxer calendar, just like we've seen over the last couple of years.

@crimsontadpoles Couldn't agree more, I also love most if not all of the Pixar movies, shorts included, or maybe even especially so. And the Incredibles is an absolutely wonderful movie, and so is the sequel, by the way...

@HotGoomba___Rebrand @crimsontadpoles
Definitely agree that Incredibles is great (the first one that is). 👍😆

@crimsontadpoles
Honestly, I was kinda disappointed by Incredibles II, (and I don't say that about a lot of movies). I think it was because it wasn't as good (IMO) as people were saying it was. 🤔😐
Another sequel (from 2018) that I ended up liking, that people seemed to Hate (for some reason), is Sherlock Gnomes. I mean, it wasn't as good as Gnomeo & Juliet, but it was still good though. 🤔👍
Monsters Inc is pretty good as well. It's been too long since I've seen a Bug's Life, but I believe I liked it when I saw it.

@SM3DASislit Bruh did you just call Sherlock Gnomes good? It's overly mediocre at best.

@crimsontadpoles @SM3DASislit I actually kinda like Incredibles 2, but it ain't as good as the first movie. Still enjoyable, albeit not as good as Coco, the first Incredibles, and most other Pixar movies.

But let's be fair, Cars 2 is garbage (not pure garbage like Planes though) and The Good Dinosaur is nothing special.

@ThanosReXXX
Well, the idea of making Ice Skate Boxer was from my Chibi boxer on calendar 2016.
I created Ivanov as Ice Skate Boxer and at the same time i created Raphael as BoXinger. Who will ever become a Boxer and Singer at the same time or being a Boxer and Ice Skater at the same time ?
I never saw something like that from every single boxing thing i saw, nor even from anime or manga. Every boxing things i saw just only about being serious, brutal fight, sexy ring girls as fanservice, etc.
Oh, since i like quirky things, i have an idea to combine Boxing / Kickboxing with Sailor Moon transformation. Can you imagine what will looks like my Boxers / Kickboxers in Sailor Moon style ? (Not a boxer with girly outfits, duh. Just only inspired from them) 😆

As for Avian Kickboxer, the idea came from Doraemon's Adventure in Birdtopia as i saw a lot of Anthromorohic Birds over there.
Avian Kickboxer was the hard experience i did as i have to study the wingspan of every birds i want to choose, design their form in Anthromorphic Birds which i found Owl was the hardest to design, decided how old are they so i will draw their body based on their age, what kind of relationship between each characters so i can put a narative plot behind each characters.

I have to create my own boxing ring stadium and fighting arena design with some different rules such as No ring girls allowed (replaced by flying mini robot to display the Rounds) as i don't want to exploit the stereotype of boxing arena.
Avian Kickboxing was the sport i created based on my other experience from FF X blitzball stadium arena. Since it was my fictional sport, i added with narative plot that Avian Kickboxing was the famous sport in my utopia as i created that sport to against soccer in real world as i really don't like and never like soccer, so just let Avian Kickboxer be my Top Sport in my utopia, don't even care the existence of soccer in real world. If in real world soccer is the most famous sport, in my utopia Avian Kickboxing is the most famous sport as soccer was never exist in my utopia because i forbid them to exist. Also, the government in my utopia are fully support Avian Kickboxing sport from life insurance and health insurance for every Avian Kickboxers. A lot of sponsorship also involved in Avian Kickboxing especially energy drink and protein bar, but there is NO cigarette sponsorship as cigarettes are never exist in my utopia due to my extreme hatred against them. Avian Kickboxing also became an Extracurricular in Senior High School for Avian students with coach from famous Avian Kickboxers veteran.
To participate in Avian Kickboxing, the Avian students must be at least 15 years old or already grade 10 with agreement from school principal from their school and from their parents. They will be put in Junior class as for Amatuer class are for at least 18 years old. I created unique Boxing sport like that in my utopia as i already tired and sick with boring sports for School Extracurricular in real life (Soccer and Basketball all the time) even talking about Boxing sport here was something weird or uninteresting sport to do as some parents never let their kids join in Boxing sport for being portayed as too violence sports without understanding the deep inside. I mean, come on. I have ever saw on the other places from articles and Youtube, the kids joined in Boxing class even talking about Boxing was something Normal, not as a taboo sport.

You might be have seen one or two sneak peek of my calendar 2021 projects but not until i revealed all the characters and my calendar design. Also, Avian Kickboxing was the codename of my fictional sport.
I will reveal the official name to call it once my calendar 2021 has been released.

Oh, i almost forgot.
The only completely different thing i have ever drawn was my fictional mecha. Yes, fictional mechas.
The idea was from Beatmania IIDX video, Mecha anime such as Gundam / LBX / Tenkai Knights, video game from Override. The first mecha i have created was Pandora.
There were 10 fictional mechas i have created from my brain, still in concept. I gave them their Elemental attacks for their signature attacks.
They are Atlas (Earth), Pandora (Voices), Hermes (Lightning), Maximillian (Tanker, Non elemental), Xidorn (Water), Amalthea (Wind), Overcold (Ice), Thermal (Fire), Sterben (Dark) & Helios (Holy).

Ugh I'm always struggling with that little controller that came with my Fire TV because it's constantly getting lost and using the phone as a controller is annoying because I need to sync it up every single time.

So, my brother is visiting, he goes to my room... Turns on my TV... And just starts using my generic TV remote to control the Fire TV like it's a normal thing....

AND IT WORKS.

The darn thing just works with the Fire TV. The cheap remote that came with my cheap tv. It works perfectly.

My life is a lie.
