Topic: The Chit-Chat Thread

@TheJGG Oh damn I love Dragon quest, I played the newest in the series, but it was a demo, I just haven't gotten to buying it yet, I did tune into the stream, and I can't wait for three. Funny thing I played the demo bc I heard it was the DBZ artist, but to learn it was much more.

Also its ok to be excited and be hyped for E3, There is not much left if we can't at least do that.

@VoidofLight I would want one for Pokemon Legends if that would be ok, or if its in a playable state, it would show people how early the game build that your playing is, And it sure would make me more sure in the final product.

so i ordered this guy

but requested these black and white chuck taylors instead ​of the solid white shoes

thats gangsta.
theres a couple more im after though

@ogo79 Has to be the best ones by far in my opinion.

@Snatcher I’d love a demo that’d a current build of the game, but seeing how Gamefreak stopped doing demos before launch due to the sun and moon datamines, it doesn’t seem as likely that they’ll do it.

My brother texted me a sound clip of the brood-x cicadas that have taken over his area(they come out every 17 years). I asked him to get a close up recording of a cicada (because they're EVERYWHERE) to make a ringtone. He text me another clip that starts out as cicadas, but it's my 7 and 10 year old nieces screaming as high pitched as they can. Not a close up recording of a brood-x cicada.

sounds like this. (which I think sounds like a chorus of 60's star trek phasers)

@Tyranexx Yeah sounds like you had an awesome time! Always liked going on vacations and traveling in general. Would love to go on another vacation, but you know, pandemic.

Ah okay, so the first one was the only one you played. I like the X series overall, but I will admit that it kind of ranges in quality. Mega Man X1, X2, and X4 are awesome (didn't care for X3 that much), but then you've got stuff like MMX7. If you'd like to know how not to make a video game, look no further. Oh, and there's a certain boss in that game that can annihilate our eardrums.

@WoomyNNYes Wow! I never heard what a cicada sounded like!
Sorry for the inactivity, I just buried my final grandparent this past friday.

My second entry for the Castlevania LRG art contest!

Do you guys ever not finish something you really like because finishing it means it will be over and you don't want it to end, so you don't end up playing or reading or watching for a while?

Or am I the only weirdo who does that?

@Heavyarms55 That's why I didn't finish twilight princess. Thats why Kate Gray or some NL writer didn't finish botw. All the cool people are doing it.

@LuigibrineTheGreat What did your username used to be? I forget.

@ogo79 Thanks! No skeleton sightings during my travels unfortunately. Probably the closest thing was that huge recreation of Doomsday.

@Snatcher Typically I use jelly when referring to fruit spreads for rolls and toast, but I sometimes use it in that clipped form as well. Thanks for the compliment! The waterfall path was truly special. It's slightly hilly where I am, but that's nothing compared to the southern confines of my state. Bluffs are rare here, and the ones I do know of aren't nearly that high. The only slight bummer was that there were a ton of elementary age kids (class trip) when I first got to the area. They weren't causing trouble, just being kids. Which means it was noisier than I would've liked. The teachers and chaperones wrangled them all shortly after I arrived since they needed to move on. Honestly, I didn't really mind; it's public land after all, so they had as much right to be there as I did. That's partially why I was careful with the pictures however; as a rule, I don't post pictures online with minors in them unless I have permission from their parent(s) or guardian(s).

As for the Superman Museum, I originally wanted to go there last spring. Covid threw a wrench into those plans, so I postponed the trip to this year. At least it gave me more time to plan! XD

@MarioLover92 I need to hit other areas towards that part of the state too, but some of them were out of the day for a reasonable day trip. I actually skipped going to an old fort, but as some of that was indoors I didn't know how they'd handle the current guidelines. At least with the Superman Museum, they were clear about what was expected on their website. I'd like to do another small trip or two this year, but we'll see. It'll be harder to get away as my sister's wedding gets closer lol.

On the Mega Man X series: I've heard similar things; that 1, 2, and 4 are good, 3 isn't as good, and that the rest are a mixed bag overall. I'll at least avoid X7 in that case. I've never tried the Legends series and think I'd enjoy that! Shame the 3DS entry was canceled.

@Tyranexx Yeah, except the difference between those specific comments sections and those home videos is that some of those are actually funny...

Those are some neat pictures! Nature pics are always welcome, far as I'm concerned, so that's an easy lure for catching my attention, but the other ones are equally interesting. I did somehow expect a selfie at the Superman statue, though.

On a side note: I only gave them a quick once-over, but the initial impressions are highly positive. I'll give them a more thorough review later this week...

Also interesting to see and read all the info, both from the historical site and the museum. I actually had no idea that they used wigs in the older Superman movies. I just figured it was lots of gel or hairspray...

And they were from the 70s AND the 80s, at least: if we're talking about the Christopher Reeve movies. The first one was from 1978, followed by the second in 1980, the third in 1983 and the fourth and final one in 1987.

@TheJGG I'll vouch for Sonic Colors being a good and VERY enjoyable Sonic game, with lots of replay value, so if your interest was even remotely piqued by it getting a re-release, don't wait too long for any reviews. In fact, just watch the videos below and you'll learn all you'll ever need to know about it, and then you can do the whole "now let's imagine how all of that looks in HD" entirely on your own...

@VoidofLight The only people that get disappointed around E3 are the people who put WAY too much stock in stupid, unfounded rumors from outside or unconfirmed sources who either never reveal themselves or who's weight in the industry is so minimal that they shouldn't have been taken seriously in the first place.

Go in expecting nothing, and you'll have a wonderful couple of days, trust me. I always make sure that I have those days off, so I can watch each and every event live as it happens, and it never fails to entertain me, even the lesser parts, to some extent, and I always find that there is at least something to look forward to, once the event is over. Just don't expect the world of it, stick to hoping for a couple of nice surprises and keep your expectations in check and you'll be just fine.

@Heavyarms55 Well, if that makes you a weirdo, then allow me to shake your hand buddy, because I actually do EXACTLY the same thing. Netflix keeps on bugging me on those last couple of episodes of The 100, that I still have to watch, but like you, I don't want to let go, because I don't want it to end.

@ThanosReXXX Comrade! You understand!

@WoomyNNYes I usually do end up finishing these things, but I'll get close to the end and then hold off for a while because if I finish it, it's over.

@ThanosReXXX The only real thing I'm hoping for is BotW 2 news, but even then.. I'm not really expecting it. I'm just gonna go with the flow like you said, and enjoy the presentation for what it is.

@Heavyarms55 Yeah, I have my moments, sometimes.
I found The 100 to be such a good show/series, and I got SO attached to the characters, that I find it hard, annoying, loathsome, and whatever other label we can slap onto it, to commit myself to watching the final episodes and to say goodbye to them forever. Then again: I might just end up buying the entire series on Blu-Ray, so I can rewatch it again from time to time.

I also sometimes do that with certain series, such as The Grimm and Continuum. My old man basically likes the same series that I do, but sometimes, they can't hold his attention for too long, so what I do is that when I visit him in the weekends, we watch an episode or four, five of whatever show I've already seen then some months or even years ago, and then that simultaneously allows me to reminisce/relive my own positive moments with those series.

You could say I'm kind of like my dad's crash test dummy, in that regard. I by now know what he likes and doesn't like, so I usually completely watch a series before recommending it to him or watching it with him. The 100 was actually the only exception: I actually took a Netflix subscription so I could share that with him, and he finished the series long before I ever even reached those final couple of episodes that I'm now infinitely stalling...

Of course, he has FAR more free time on his hands, so he was always going to be able to watch more episodes in a week than me anyways, but considering I was ahead of him by 3 seasons, he did some AMAZING binge-watching for someone his age...

@VoidofLight I'm with you on Breath of the Wild 2, and also hoping for something about Metroid Prime 4. I'll take anything: news, a trailer or teaser, or even a mention. But I'm not expecting it, so even though I'll still be a little disappointed if no mention will be made, at least I won't be mad that they may not show or tell anything about it. I gave up such notions a LONG time ago.

I'm also still hoping for some Pikmin 4 news, by the way...

@ThanosReXXX We are only as old as admit to being. Perhaps your father is actually younger than you!

Time travel ftw

@Heavyarms55 Well, I've long since found that regardless of age, we men all remain boys in some respects. And considering our shared likes and enthusiasm for anything fantasy and/or sci-fi related, me and my dad might just as well have been of the same age. We're definitely of the same mind, for sure.

@Eel Wut?
