Topic: The Chit-Chat Thread

Oh, yeah, I sort of assumed he'd double-checked the email was from Instagram .... Although you'd soon notice if any link was taking you anywhere else & settings should prevent anything auto-downloading, apart from needing permission to install anyway!

@ThanosReXXX
Actually, the fake Pokemon card with PPAP Tailor Swift was from Google image.

@BruceCM You would indeed notice, but if he had already clicked on the link, then in a lot of cases, it would have already been too late.

@Anti-Matter Ah, I see. So, it was just another person without a good sense of humor, then.

Happy Holidays from Sonic!

He is extremely fat and fluffy now! And twice the rascal!

@Zuljaras This is the only Sonic I love.

@Eel @Octane can I interest either of you in enlightening some of our newer members about the no-no that is multi-posting? Oh, and it would seem to me that the poor chap is also quite busy trolling people that don't agree with his "facts"...

@Zuljaras Haha, priceless.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to one and all from this old Mad Titan as well!

Wow, he does seem to have grown a lot, @Zuljaras.... Perhaps it's the wrap?

@Zuljaras thats adorable.

Merry Christmas everybody! 🎁🎄🎁 This year was my first on the forum and I appreciate the chit chat and conversations.

@ThanosReXXX
I felt during year 2020 i have experienced a lot with the games that i have never interested before. Let's say Ratchet & Clank games, Sly Cooper games, Dragon Quest Heroes 1 PS4.
I quickly enjoyed Sly Cooper 2 PS3 as i finished that game just now (took 2 weeks to finish). I have never played that game before, never realized if that game have surprising experiences as 3D platformer games with sneaking and puzzle solving.

As for Ratchet games, before that i was very 100% strict no shooting games whatsoever reasons but now i allowed Ratchet games and the clones (Ruff Trigger, still haven't owned yet) in my gaming place after very long deliberation, considering also from my Metroid Prime Federation Force 3DS purchase.

Oh, for Kinect game recommendation last time, i think i found the 12th Kinect game i will consider and that's all wrap. I will consider Minutes to Win XBOX 360 version with Kinect requirement.
After long deliberation also about XBOX machine, considering from the availability factor from Ebay, i have decided to keep only 4 XBOX Exclusive games (DDR Ultramix 1 - 4) for XBOX Classic (No multi console games for XBOX machines).
The multi release consoles games i have decided to play either PS2 or Gamecube version as some old XBOX classic games in USA version are not really available as many as PS2 / Gamecube version.

@Anti-Matter Well, not that you HAD to change your gaming habits, but personally, I think that in general, it's never a bad thing to be able to widen your perspective on things, and not just on games. And also to be more accepting of other people's tastes, even if they don't reflect your own taste. I don't mind that other people like other games than I do, because if they like it, then it's good that they have these choices. The more the merrier, I say, so I don't feel offended about there being other types of games that I don't want to play, because I know they are suitable for other people.

So, in short, I honestly believe you've made some progress, and that is most definitely a good thing.

Looks like we were blessed by the Stocking Hedgehog, that means we will have a good Christmas haul.

Mission in Snowdriftland is being remade. Anyone play this when it was available for a month back in ‘06 and 2010?

Kao the Kangaroo return on 2021.

Interested, anyone ?

@Zuljaras Sonic is cute! I love that photo!

Though I do wonder.....If a stocking hedgehog sees its shadow what does that mean? More gifts, or Santa was delayed?

@Heavyarms55 That's pretty much what I've done today as well, though I do hope to hit a few stops in a little while. I had a HECK of a disappointment earlier. My first guaranteed daily spawn was a Froakie of all things, with a 97% chance it has better stats than my current vegetable. And with 2X candy the next couple of days? A no-brainer! I was thrilled!....Until it escaped after my first throw, even WITH a berry and an Ultra Ball aiding me..... 🤬

Nothing to report other than that frustrating frog frolicking from my fist....

@ThanosReXXX Totally understandable, particularly with the current year in context. I'd love to take some time off around now and definitely could, but I hope to get in a couple longer sightseeing trips in a couple years. HR will require me to use some of my amassed time eventually. Not like I have too many places to safely go these days, unfortunately. I never did go on that short trip down south this spring thanks to the world exploding, so it's tentatively on for sometime this coming year. There are a few faraway locations in the US on my "travel" bucket list, and that's not even getting into other countries I'd love to visit.

That said, I very nearly took today off. But even during less weird years, I don't have any celebrations or exhanges until the evening anyway. And work was blissfully quiet today since I didn't have some coworkers messaging me in Slack every few minutes. XD

To anyone who reads this, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! You all have a safe and healthy one.

@Tyranexx Yeah, the Disney Renaissance era was a great time to be young! And yeah, I might be a tad biased since I was born in the early 90s, but eh, it is what it is. I did watch and enjoy a good amount of the older Disney movies too. (The fact that they re-released them on VHS definitely helped, lol) Most of the ones I saw were from during my time in school wayyyyy back in the day, but we had a few of those at home too (namely 101 Dalmatians and Pinocchio). I've seen both the movies you've mentioned, too - to this day, Mary Poppins is the only live-action Disney movie that I've seen. I remember liking it quite a bit. Had some fun music and the special effects were really well done, especially back then!

I'll definitely get to finishing the demo. Just couldn't stop playing AC:NH, that's all! lol

@Zuljaras Nice, that's cute. Looks like the little guy's doing pretty good

Just wanted to say "Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night".
Also, thank you guys for being such a wonderful community, even with everything that has gone on this year.

Merry Christmas everyone..hope everyone's having a safe and festive time.

Dear everybody, I wish you all a very Merry Christmas, and I hope that every single person here is safe, and happy during this festive period. I'm glad to have joined the NL community and I look forward to contributing more next year! Hopefully everybody got some great games today!
