@BruceCM Oh, well. Dying millions of times comes with the territory in games like Dark Souls. And in some ways, it's even relatively fair, in that regard that the enemies are SO much more powerful, so trying to overcome them should be difficult. Obviously, it's sometimes a bit too difficult at first, but that is where the deliberate and careful planning/strategizing comes into play, I'm sure you'll recognize that to some extent.
On the other end of the spectrum we'll find Ninja Gaiden, which basically just opens up a container of evil ninjas or soldiers with all kinds of weapons and in such numbers that you're sometimes LITERALLY attacked from all sides at once. As mentioned before, these enemies are basically quite pathetic on their own, but due to their overwhelming numbers, you might still die at some point, and obviously, that's far less balanced/fair than Dark Souls. So, next time you play a Dark Souls game, provided that you still have the taste to try another one, keep that in mind, and you might just be able to squeeze a bit more entertainment and satisfaction out of it...
Well, the sales pitch for the program isn't exactly inspiring, to say the least:
You can have right now a wonderful too to note down anything you need on your everyday life
I think I'll pass...
@TheJGG Making a lady's head spin is NEVER a good thing, unless it's out of love, and coming from any of us on an online forum, that would kinda border on creepy...
As for Asphalt 9 Legends: I'll be patiently awaiting your personal invitation into the Chit-Chat Crew...
@ogo79 Ouch! I see one of your latest purchases has most certainly been hit with the ugly stick. You REALLY need to learn to reign yourself in, you old skeleton junkie...
which one
The Freddy Krueger wannabe figurine.
@Zuljaras You DO know that he isn't going to see your comment, right?

Oh, yeah, I had a fair idea what I was getting into with Dark Souls Remastered, @ThanosReXXX ..... I'll definitely be getting Elden Ring, as that does look quite a bit better! So far, so good with Ninja Gaiden Sigma, too
@ThanosReXXX Well he unblocked me before so he might do it again. And let's not forget that he logs out of his account to sneak a peek on his ignore list comments
It is kind of funny that he treats this page as his Instagram but at least it is not against the rules. We all need some attention from time to time
So... I've FINALLY decided to take the next gen plunge where TVs are concerned, also because my current plasma screen is now so burnt in, that I have permanent light blue smudges in both top corners from all the various channel logos, I also have permanent light blue smears where subtitles are displayed, and I have a big splotch of light blue smear in the middle of my screen that seems to have a life of its own, appearing and disappearing at random, and varying in shape and size.
All of that hasn't really made my TV watching and video gaming experiences the most relaxed ones lately, because every day, I expect my TV to give up the ghost in a huge puff of smoke. Luckily, that hasn't happened so far, and now that I've ordered my new screen, which arrives on Monday, I can rest easy once again...
Nice timing as well, considering the European Soccer Championship, as well as this year's E3, which I will now at least partially be able to see on my new 4K screen... I'm SO happy.
In case some of you are curious, here are some images. The model is last year's LG OLED55CX6LA,
which I was able to get my hands on for a measly €1.099...
@BruceCM Yeah, I've been eyeing Elden Ring as well. Probably going on the long term "to buy" list, though, especially now that I've spent all my cash reserves on a new TV...
@Zuljaras True enough. Always better than that weird newbie who only posts videos without any accompanying message to clarify whatever reason it's posted for...
'The console wars are like boobs: Sony and Microsoft fight over which ones look the nicest and Nintendo's are the most fun to play with.'
Got a pre-purchase key for £40 just now, @ThanosReXXX .... Those don't usually appear before the game has a Steam Store page but I guess that'll come soon!
@ThanosReXXX I’ve put in an hour, probably... seven flags so far? I’ll learn the ropes as well as the basics of online play soon enough, I got time! I’ll keep you posted, since my backlog’s as dry as a desert right now.
Yeah, it'll come to XBox One, Series S/X, PS4 & PS5 .... but I haven't got any of those, now, so I'll get the Steam one, @ThanosReXXX Ditto Tails of Arise, which I also got 20% off
@BruceCM Ah, okay. For a moment there, you really had me wondering...
@1UP_MARIO Yeah, I've only heard great things about it, and I bought it after having read an in-depth review from one of my favorite and most trustworthy tech web sites. The gaming mode with super-low input lag was also a HUGE plus for me.
So, how did you know that this is a good TV? Do you also have an LG?
'The console wars are like boobs: Sony and Microsoft fight over which ones look the nicest and Nintendo's are the most fun to play with.'
@ThanosReXXX I wish. Was looking for TVs for my brother in law who’s also into gaming. He ended up with it. Went through many TVs and reviews. Good buy
We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.
Jon Cartwright is on this weeks Nintendo Voice Chat
That's unexpected. He does say he's from nintendolife, in case people are worried he fled NL.
Anyway, it's a podcast from a game website called IGN?, which I've never heard of - it must have sprung up over night.
@WoomyNNYes They've certainly chosen a funny title: for something to have vanished, it must have actually been here in the first place, and obviously, the rumor has by now well and truly been proven a total and utter fake.
'The console wars are like boobs: Sony and Microsoft fight over which ones look the nicest and Nintendo's are the most fun to play with.'
So i'm back after a few crazy busy weeks. I'll prolly be posting semi-irregularly on the forum for awhile since things are still in a state of flux.
Maybe it's that i've been preoccupied with other things, but i have zero excitement for e3 this year. The most exciting announcement I can think of would be Sony saying the PS5 will actually be available to buy in stores.
And the xray i had on my neck was perfectly normal. On one hand thats good, but on the other I still have a handful of problems that are unexplained. I won't go through that baggage here, suffice it to say that I'm doing some exercises and they're helping. Small victories I s'pose.

Give me a heads-up if you're going to send a request please.
I used to visit IGN for mostly non-Nintendo news and any news missed here. Heck, WAY back in the day I used to crawl their Pokemon boards before moving onto different boards in late high school. However, I felt the site's quality had been declining for some time, mainly with their general coverage, reviews, and some of their arguably better writers leaving for greener pastures. And the comment sections....While I never participated in the article discussions, the vast majority of those are a dumpster fire. Take some of the worst comment sections here, multiply them a few hundred times, and you'll get similar results. XD
Someone suggested trying Destructoid, and I haven't looked back. The site has fulfilled my non-Nintendo needs nicely, though I don't comment there.
@ThanosReXXX Even though I'm not the biggest John Wayne fan, the museum was still pretty interesting. That's a heck of a drive even for me, considering it's smack in the middle of Iowa. It's an adjoining state, but definitely not the closest state to my normal stomping grounds. XD
As the Tyranexx Movie List is ever-changing, so is the resulting title.
I'll make a mental note to let you know on any of those movies should I get around to them soon. Some of those might even lend themselves to family viewing, though I'd definitely be on my own for anything fantasy, sci-fi, or hero-related; I'm unfortunately the odd one out when it comes to those forms of media. I do hope you enjoy those pictures! Congrats on the long weekend; I was debating on taking off this coming Tuesday for the Nintendo hype, but I'd rather not take a day off mid-week unless it's an emergency. My vacation days don't roll over until next month - our employee calendar year runs from July 1st-June 30th - so I'm nearly out. I've been laying off the site a little to deal with some craziness IRL. Next week is the Week of Many Appointments, starting tomorrow with the dentist....
lol, IGN has been around forever, @WoomyNNYes ..... So, what's he say about it? I cba to watch!
Yeah, prior to 2017, and Switch launch, IGN was my source for game reviews. I couldn't resist the fun, endearing urge to pretend ignorance of IGN, and squeeze classic simpsons scenes into real life. Since 2018, I've listened to/watched NVC most weeks. I like those guys.
Regarding what Jon Cartwright talks about, I've only watched the first ten minutes so far, and they haven't gotten into the meat of anything yet.
Anyway, here's the iconic Simpsons scene I parodied. Love the "must have sprung up over night" line.
My breakfast today with a big bowl of white curry ramen and vegetables. 😋
I cooked the vegetables first on a pot then I poured some water, add with seasonings from ramen noodle and boil the broth. I cooked the noodles after I made the broth.
