@NintendoByNature Don't go too heavy on the popcorn, though. We could also make pre-E3 bingo cards, predicting how many more complainers will pop up and about which specific things they will moan...
Some of their posts are so long, by the time you're finished reading and/or trying to comprehend what their actual point is, it's about time for a breakfast with b&g...
@Tyranexx Well, these videos ARE an execution of some sort, so in that respect, I guess you have a point, but other than that... I personally never would have gotten the idea to compare popping cysts or pimples with public executions, but I'm simply going to blame that on your side-career in the House of Horrors industry...
@ogo79 Well played, my friend. Well played. During the next Infinity Gauntlet snapping, your spot will be safe...

Oh, man. That's kinda hilarious. Almost better than the "it's dangerous to go alone" memes. Almost...
EDIT:
You did kind of break the immersion by replying to yourself, though. You're good, but it's not quite Inception level yet...
@TheJGG Yeah, I almost regretted posting it here, but like that fine individual, I had to vent a bit, and where else better than in the Chit-Chat thread? I didn't even realize it was already locked, but probably for the better. It could only have gone even further downhill from there. Especially with the popular labels that he was using for addressing me...
By the way, @Eel, when you locked that thread, what did you mean by "no fishing"? I either missed something or it flew over my head...
@Vortexeo Yeah, it IS almost always the same thing. Perhaps all of them are related and living in the same basement, making up conspiracy theories about how Nintendo is intentionally disadvantaging them and leaving them, the "true" and loyal fans, behind empty-handed, with nothing to play...
How do we pronounce "Arceus"? (from the upcomming title Pokemon Legends Arceus)
ar-kee-us
or ar-see-us
I'd say the second option. Although personally, I'm also highly tempted to say ARSE-Us. I'm willing to wager a bet that all the whining Pokémon fans would also be quite enamored with that, because they already feel arsed by the Pokémon Company anyways...
@ThanosReXXX oh man... now you're talking my B&G language. A nice morning sit-down while reading an ijiot rant + b&g is simply one of the greatest pressures.
I typically never read much of those posts. I Guage a general feel for their tone, and just enjoy what comes after.

I needed this after the Friday I've had. XD I'm very, VERY glad I had a slightly shortened work day and a long weekend to look forward to!
@WoomyNNYes Yeah, I constructed a brief response. I found it amusing, but I decided to honor the Houdini post and exterminated the related text.
Personally, I've always pronounced it ar-see-us.
@ThanosReXXX Heh, I suppose they ARE an execution in a sense...for the offending pus pocket and its contents lol. We CAN blame the House of Horrors side gig, though I've harbored some interest in the macabre and "People actually did that back then?" before joining. The reason I liken it to the general idea of public executions (though the latter is CLEARLY worse) is the general idea of watching something so horrible, and yet it takes a ton of power to look away. It's an urge to see a crazy or horrible spectacle drawn to its conclusion. Probably not much different from rubbernecking, either.
@TheJGG In a sense, I figured it was all part of the show, but I still found the whistling humorous! XD Horii has always seemed like a decent fellow. I actually tuned out shortly after the Dragon Quest XII reveal and related banter, so it was actually a little past 11 PM/23:00 here (I'm on US/CA Central Time, currently in Daylight Savings). Really, that's about the usual time I go to bed, though I usually try (and often fail) to unplug before that time. I don't blame you for not staying up to watch the Horizon: Forbidden West footage; I would've done the same. Something like that is better watched when all hands are on deck in my brain. Waking up in the middle of the night would definitely NOT be an ideal scenario lol. There better be an emergency, a once-in-a-lifetime event, or a flight I need to leave for. Along with plenty of caffeine.
I'm admittedly not a big Sonic fan. I played my brother's copy of Sonic Advance 3 back in the day and found it somewhat entertaining. I've also played and beaten what's arguably the best game in the series, Sonic The Hedgehog 2, specifically the 3D version available on the 3DS eShop. It was fine, but my biggest complaint about the game, for a hedgehog all about speed, is that there are plenty of slow moments and enemy placements that are put there just to troll you. I don't dislike the games by any means, they've just never hooked me. Though I haven't played any of the 3D installments. I have heard a lot of decent things about Sonic Colors, so I'm glad that's getting remastered. I might try it if I can find it for cheap down the line. I really am happy for fans of the Blue Blur as it seems like a lot of great things are coming their way; I agree, Sonic's anniversary treatment is better than Mario's so far.
Thanks for the E3 fan registration reminder! I'll certainly look into it to see what it all entails.
Thanks for the kudos! I don't mind donating, though I make sure I'm healthy. It is also by appointment only at present. Most of my blood donations have went fine. There have been a couple of accidental mishaps, including a time where I went through the same ordeal as your sister, but I'll spare you the details. Suffice it to say that I'm more careful about which community service I use to donate the occasional pint. I've only ever had one negative reaction, and that was my own fault; several years ago, I wasn't nearly as good at staying hydrated. I was able to donate, but I experienced some dizziness...after leaving. I had the sense to pull off to the side of the road and wait for the vertigo to pass.
The stopping/starting you're going through would drive me nuts; there was plenty of that in my state over the last year. Heck, compared to some, some businesses still aren't operating at full capacity (legally anyway). If numbers keep trending downward as they currently are, and if a certain percentage of the state's population is fully vaccinated, we could be at full operating levels in about two weeks (June 11th). In all this craziness, I'm fortunate I was only furloughed for a couple of weeks. However...a selfish part of me wishes it had been for longer. It was nice to have plenty of gaming time, though I didn't get to enjoy my free time around then as much as I ought. Long story.
"Caught with their pants down"...an apt description of how Nintendo handled SM3DAS! I'm glad we got it at all as the games on offer range from decent to amazing. However...I won't deny that I think a little more effort could've been put into the full package. That debug cube business didn't help at all with some of the uneasy press the whole thing received, especially with how "limited" the release was. The reason I waited so long to track down XC 3D was because I didn't have a N3DS until late 2017; by then, the copies, even used ones, were vaporware in my area. Copies online were going for way higher than I wanted to pay for them. In retrospect, it was a blessing in disguise. A lot of unnecessary stress though.
No qualms with continuing to remaster your existing tracks, experimenting with new ones, and honing your skills along the way! All this FF talk is making me want to play [insert title Tyranexx should play but likely won't get to within the next month here]. I've gotta stop stockpiling all these long RPGs...but I want them...and I even try to be picky....
I'm pretty sure those segments were from House of Mouse; that was a Saturday morning staple of mine as a kid! We didn't have cable, so anything kid-related that wasn't on PBS had to be caught on some local networks on Saturdays. It was mandated by law; if I recall, they dropped that law a few years ago with how prevalent cable/satellite and streaming options have become. A lot of those Disney and WB cartoons I enjoyed in the 90s/early 2000s were well-written, in my biased opinion. Going back, I'm catching some things that slipped under the radar. HOW Animaniacs got some things through the censors....
Agreed on most points regarding Future Connected. I got through the whole thing in about 15 hours, though I did some of the extra quests and found all the Ponspectors. The music was the best thing, but yeah...the story outside of what I mentioned in the spoilers felt rushed towards the end with no true closure. Unless they intended it to be a not-quite-cliffhanger....As for Torna, I've pretty much resigned myself to downloading it at this point. 3 GB isn't bad at all, particularly in regards to how large many modern games can be. I feel spoiled by many Switch offerings in that regard. Some stiff competition towards the top of that list. At least I've played...two of those titles so far. XD

I guess @Tyranexx and @ogo79 saw my parody post in here around 10pm, skewering stereotypical, annoying newb posts. I was worried only I thought it was amusing, so I deleted it. I can't remember how it went now. Oh well. Ogo gets it
actually i didnt see yer post, i can be that way natuarally.
i used to make posts like that, whole threads even. congrats on yer deleted post!
it gets better when a mod locks a thread when yer usually the last poster. it will make you proud, trust me. @ThanosReXXX
i never make mistakes, im perfect.
when people say no one is perfect
i tell them to stop being self centered and shallow and speak for themselves you cannot judge me @Tyranexx hahaha

Just wanted to state my thoughts on the Sonic Central livestream, specifically on the three main announcements. Sonic Colors Ultimate looks pretty good, it's good to see that it's on Switch and the other modern platforms, but I wonder what new features it'll have. Right now, it looks like the same game with better visuals.
Sonic Origins looks like a promising compilation, as it seems like all the games are gonna be enhanced in some way. Not to mention that Sonic 3 & Knuckles is coming back after so long! I love the Genesis Sonic games so I could see myself getting it for the Switch.
The trailer for Sonic Team's next game didn't really show much. At least we know when Sonic's next game will be out, I guess. Hopefully it'll be good, though I did hear Sonic Forces wasn't that great.
@Tyranexx Yeah, for older games I have no problem buying them used, if it still works and it's the real deal. Kinda wish I got more into Professor Layton - if only I wouldn't get stumped too easily, lol! Perhaps I'll give it another shot sometime, I still have the copy I got from my local retro game store. That reminds me, I used to get retro games quite often. Many years ago (it was 2004) we got a Sega Genesis from eBay (it was the model 2 and came with games like Sonic 2 and Quackshot). We did have the model 1 as well as a copy of Sonic 1 that I've been saving, but we couldn't hook that up since we didn't have all the necessary cables. But yeah, these days, I don't shop for retro games too often, especially online. Those prices can indeed be scary.
Ouch, sorry to hear about that Groudon. It's been gone for good, then? Another glitch I've known about was in Super Mario Galaxy 2, where you could use Yoshi to do infinite flutter jumps. I never really got it to work though, which is actually fine with me. I like finishing games legitimately anyway. lol

@NintendoByNature
glad i asked.
ive been over here for the last 6 hours trying to figure out where ive gone wrong.
that thing is supposed to do anything and everything.
its catching on fire for some reason.
i hear the fire department down the street but it cant be related cuz blast processing.
factory default maybe?

@Tyranexx Yeah, I figured as much. Kinda like watching the proverbial train wreck happening: you know it's coming, and yet you're not looking away. That's pretty much the instinctual basis upon which Funniest Home Videos is built.
@Eel Ah, I see. Of course. Guess that one actually DID fly over my head, then. I'm getting old...
@WoomyNNYes Make it Sonic Bangers and mash, and we're on board...
I think i'm going to go digital for sonic color's, I really want the physical copy, but you just get more for the digital, plus if you get the deluxe which is actually the same price as the physical copy, You get waaaay more stuff, I don't even care for the keychain, plus with digital you get to play the game on Sep 3 instead of 7.
Nintendo are like woman, You love them for whats on the inside, not the outside…you know what I mean! Luzlane best girl!

Does anyone else know where the thread for the Latest/Greatest, Totally Awesome 3DS Purchases went? I realize it's in a half-dead forum, but I wanted to post in it. The thread title comes up when I search for it, but the site throws a 410 - That page is in another castle.
@MarioLover92 I really started digging into the retro handheld market a few years ago, particularly with the GBC and GBA in order to nab any games I was nostalgic for or missed back in the day. That was backburnered for a bit; I was in college at the time, and the eShop became a nice alternative as well. Some of the physical game prices were reasonable, but they started adding up fast! But yeah, I have no problem buying older games used if there's a way I can A. try them out and/or inspect them before buying, and/or B. use a reasonable return policy. Though with DS and 3DS games, up until the last year or two the new copies of some titles were reasonably priced. It depends in part how popular the game is, how long of a print run it had, and an ounce or two of luck.
I'd like to get a hold of a Sega Genesis just for an afternoon and play around with some of the games I enjoyed on it back in the day...even if a lot of them were hard-as-nails platformers lol. The Lion King and Aladdin were no joke.
Yep, the Groudon was lost to cyberspace. I've heard about that infinite flutter jump glitch in Super Mario Galaxy 2, but I didn't know about it when I played it. Not sure if I would've tried it or not. Yoshi wasn't exactly fun to use in that game IMO. In terms of actually finishing games, I also prefer to take the legitimate route. Speedruns are all well and good, but some of the glitching involved in many of them is a bit unsettling.
@ThanosReXXX ...Or some NintendoLife comment sections on articles.
@ogo79 I know what the problem is. You need the cables for both the Virtual Boy AND the ultra-secret Game Genie XXXL add-on!
@Tyranexx I can't even find the title for latest greatest awesome 3ds purchase. Maybe it sat idle for a long time? I would have thought it's still getting occassional use. Maybe not? Weird. Or the our overlords are secret h8terz of the 3ds, in the never ending console wars. @joeynator3000@Eel
@WoomyNNYes I just posted in it ~2-3 months ago, so I doubt it sat idle for too terribly long. I also couldn't locate the "What Games are YOU currently playing?" thread in this forum/General awhile back. I let that one slide since what I post in the weekly What Are You Playing This Weekend? articles on the main site more or less serve the same function in my case. I don't jump between games too often unless they're short or I dislike what I'm playing lol.
