Topic: The Chit-Chat Thread

Well, now you know how we see you sometimes, not replying to comments, asking silly questions, sometimes the same question in multiple forum topics and so on.

Perhaps it'll offer you some new insights, because PokemonGirl99 is no troll or bot at all, just a curious person, far as I can tell.

@TheJGG Haha, no worries about not having seen enough anime to be able to discuss it: it was just optional. But just in case you're ever interested to dive into that some more and if you want to know about the true must-see classics, then you'll know where to find me...

I won't tell you what I think about them, insomuch as it's a reflection of my feelings on you..... ~Petty Labelle

The only anime needed is Robotech. That is all.

Also, I hear there's some racy scenes in Star Fox

@HobbitGamer Well, looky-here what the cat dragged in...

How you've been? Everything alright, I hope?

P.S.

Racy scenes in Star Fox? That's the first time I've ever heard of that.

@ThanosReXXX I'm alright, just super busy. Engaged, spending time with the kids, finding sleep sometimes

@HobbitGamer Haha, I know all about that last part. Four hours a day if you're lucky, right?
And erm... engaged? As in to your better half, or simply as in "kept busy with"/joining in?

@ThanosReXXX How are you holding up in the snow?

@Octane Better than I did with the frozen side walks last week...
Public transport is still doing it's thing, albeit it more slowly and less frequently, so it took me a bit longer to get home from the office, but other than that, everything's fine.

And I actually love snow, long as it's an actual, decent layer and not just a carpet of grey slush.

@ThanosReXXX To my much more awesome half, yeah. And including her 3 crazy girls. Have a Daddy Daughter dance Sunday.

@HobbitGamer Ah, well seeing as I seem to have been missing multiple things of late, you getting engaged not ringing any bells is more or less par for the course for me. I actually always figured you were already married. Well, congrats, then. May you live long and prosper.

Yeah, I went there...

@ThanosReXXX
Hoosha...!
I was busy with all my games purchase yesterday.
I bought 10 games on this month.
I decided to build my Wii U games quickly on this year.

Starfox Zero was my first experience about shooting games with spaceship and i have zero knowledges about Starfox, but i dare myself to play it. It was a Random game that i picked and first attempt was miserable. It took 45 minutes to make me understand a bit about shooting the crawling robots with Gamepad motion control. 😫

Oh, btw.
Cars 2 PS3 music during racing was quite suck or i almost didn't really hear so i played my Initial D Super Eurobeat songs from my smartphone during the racing. 😅

Ah cool, I hatched a shiny Alolan Sandshrew, and I think it was from one your gifts, @Heavyarms55, so thanks! I actually had never seen a shiny one before, it's cute.

Goes well with the shiny Alolan Vulpix my brother hatched last year. Gotta keep the universe balanced.

I spy a @HobbitGamer. They do still exist! And ENGAGED?! Congrats! It sounds like you've been mostly happy-busy, at any rate.

@ThanosReXXX Nope. I know, I know. Onto the movie list it goes!

On The Silmarillion: I can generally handle dry oatmeal. Sounds a bit like the appendices I read through in the back of the final LotR volume. Some of those stories were interesting, other areas were chronicles of names and dates. I learned quite a bit and have some idea of what came before...at least from the First Age onward. It wasn't too descriptive about the Elder Days.

I'd heard that Tolkien's son took over and has written a few bits and bobs about Middle Earth as well. Not from the original source unfortunately (and understandably), but that's certainly the closest we'll ever get in terms of closure on some matters.

Waitaminute, there was a Tolkien movie? Something ELSE to add to the watch list....

@Anti-Matter As stated a few pages ago, I don't really mind if she asks questions. But I was also upfront about the internet being a very good resource for a lot of the questions asked and have used links to try to nudge her in the right direction. I don't mind opinion questions or those about information that isn't easily Googled, but I do hope she starts doing a bit of her own homework now that we've listed a couple of great Pokemon resources. Thanks for trying to help out, BTW.

Nice game finds! I particularly recommend Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker. It's a fun, relaxing puzzle game, though it's somewhat short unless you're striving for 100% completion.

@TheJGG Haha, nope! I'm not very experienced with Ghibli films. It's a shame; I quite enjoy the art styles used in the two films I've viewed so far, but I just haven't gotten around to the rest of them. Besides Princess Mononoke, others high up on my must-see list are Grave of the Fireflies, Kiki's Delivery Service, Howl's Moving Castle, and Ponyo.

I also fully hold with Miyamoto's quote. I hadn't caught wind of some of those CDPR travesties related to Cyberpunk; I admittedly didn't pay much attention to the game before it launched as I knew it wasn't coming to a platform I'd own anytime soon. I agree....They have a lot, and I mean A LOT to make up for. The game should've spent more time in the oven, no question.

I very rarely pre-order games, unless there's a special limited edition or awesome pre-order bonus for a franchise that I really enjoy (usually Zelda). FOMO isn't usually a big deal for me, plus my usual approach to buying games, unless it's a limited release, often saves me money; I tend to wait for discounts or sales most of the time before biting. I budget out my game buying each month so that I don't go too crazy lol. There's also the ever-looming backlog monster that I'm trying to shrink....

@Heavyarms55 YES! I'd love an expanded Distortion World! You could technically revisit it during Platinum's post-game, but it was a relatively dull area compared to the journey your trainer embarks on to actually reach Giratina during the main game. I loved the various hovering platforms, surfing on that crazy waterfall, the general design of the place....I almost want to restart my save at this point! (Almost)

I was way more interested in C-Day than the Superbowl lol. I literally had to ask today who played who. I used to watch when I was younger for the commercials. And I never watch the half-time show; the artist or group rarely if ever is an individual or even part of a genre I'm into. I really don't care for most professional sports in general, though I do loosely follow baseball....The standings, anyway.

Hey, let's switch. It doesn't get Michigan cold here (I'm told), but some of our lows over this coming weekend will crawl into the negatives...without accounting for wind chill. Nope, nope, and NOPE!

@Tyranexx
I will consider Captain Toad Switch version as both Wii U and Switch version have their exclusive stages.
Btw, 100 coins in Captain Toad = 1Up for Toad like Mario games, right ?

@Anti-Matter I've only played the Wii U version and the Captain Toad levels in the original Super Mario 3D World.

Correct! 100 coins earns Captain Toad another life.

its dangerous to go alone!
take this.

@ogo79 but why do I still want it?

@Tyranexx I'm playing Captain Toad on the Switch right now! Although I already have the Wii U version, I ended up getting it from the eShop New Year's sale. It was the bundle that came with the Special Episode DLC, so that was a nice deal. I haven't got to the DLC yet, but I will after I finish the base game. The game still holds up - it's super charming and it has clever level design, and I highly recommend it to anyone.

@Blooper987 Yeah, that’s me. I linked it to my profile too so it wasn’t like I was trying to hide it! And wait, you found it at all? How impressive.

I watched some of the Anime Impulse VA stuff so that was a great video. Did you at least understand what I meant by psycho counsellor?

I made a comment on a Gerry’s Game x Fire Emblem parody that got me about three thousand likes. I’m not super invested into getting them but it’s nice.

@HobbitGamer Congrats on your engagement and may you enjoy a long and healthy marriage!

@NintendoByNature
i love generic action figures, thats probably why you still want it
