Topic: The Chit-Chat Thread

@Anti-Matter You are right about needing thick skin. It is essential for everyone to have that nowadays.

But many people respond negatively to you because they think you "insult" the franchises they love. I know it is silly but would you like if people post how they do not like girlie games and how they are for "babies" etc.?

Nobody wins in those situations.

@Anti-Matter Look dude, I think I should say sorry, bc it is your opinion after all, and you did post it in the unpopular opinion thread, So I think it was quite rude for me to attack it like that, and for that I'm sorry, If you can forgive me is up to you.

@Snatcher
That's okay. ☺
I didn't mean to create arguments from my unpopular opinion since I have explained the reasons behind it politely.

@tekoii That'd be cool to have a MK8D tournament. Not sure if everyone in this thread would be up for it or if we're all gonna be busy, but if I have the time I'd be down for it. I played S&ASRT quite a bit on Wii U back when it came out, so I'm pretty sure I have more stuff unlocked on that. The PC version is better though, since it runs at a smoother framerate. I didn't have too much issues with the Wii U version though, aside from that one time where it froze on me.

Just wanted to ask you. How is Halo: TMCC on Steam? I did hear you need to have an Xbox Live account to play it, or something like that. I never got an Xbox One, but I have been wanting to play it for quite some time. Plus if I'm playing something like Doom, Portal, or Half-Life, I prefer using a keyboard and mouse. So that's another reason why I'd want to play it on PC.

@Tyranexx Ah yeah, that's a good point you brought up, if they're being bought used or whatever. Yeah, it kind of stings to have to redeem them within the first year they come out. I tried getting the gold coins from Fire Emblem: Three Houses (I got that as a Christmas present last year), but it wouldn't let me.

That's cool. Always nice to see family and friends. I saw that Etsy comment you made, there's one thing I got from there and it's a picture frame that has a scene from Super Mario All-Stars, when Mario finishes a level. Everything's on different layers, which gives it that 3D look.

I thought this was interesting.

Select any place in the US and see the path water takes to the ocean. Unfortunately, the site is only for the US, which is kind of dumb, I wanted to see where water drains in Canada & Mexico.

I know I border on a few different watersheds, so I was curious to screw around with the site. Searched where water drained at previous places I lived, college, vacation spots, etc. I was surprised where water drained from the college I went to.

While "watching" a TV show tonight I decided to draw something. I called it Angel Tears ... because the angel is crying

(Click on the image for the full resolution if you wish.)

The yellow clouds remind me of the final boss of Final Fantasy VI

Yes It finally came, Sonic colors, I'm trying this, RRRRIGHT now!

@Zuljaras Ya I get a FF feel from it to. If you could, how do you watch tv and draw at once, bc I have done it but I always want to stop to watch it.

@Eel I am yet to play any FF game other than FF1 and FF2

@Snatcher That is why I said "watching" It was more of a background noise and it is very relaxing to draw like that. I am trying to draw in very short bursts instead of spending 5-10 hours on one piece.

Definitely looks like it should be some game related art, @Zuljaras .... If that wasn't the idea, perhaps it can inspire something like that

@BruceCM it is not related to Castletoria although there will be corrupted angels there

Oh, I didn't mean your game particularly, @Zuljaras .... Just that it did seem somehow game related but I guessed it probably wasn't intentional

@Zuljaras Oh ok, thanks, I need noise wile I draw.

@BruceCM ahh I just started doodling clouds from blue and purple. And then suddenly I decided to put that angel there.

@Zuljaras ok how about this: an area on a high place, among clouds, illuminated an unnatural yellow... Heavenly and eerie at the same time. (that's when the corrupted angels come and attack!)

Boo!

_{And then a giant Eel monster comes at you. Or something. It's a work in progress.}

@Eel An epic battle between the angels and the cloud eels sounds awesome! I might try and do something about this!

The eels are the lightning. Shifting among the clouds, turning them black and striking from within!

That sounds like a cool concept for a monster.

That could be interesting, too, @Zuljaras ....

@Anti-Matter What!? That's pretty cool. I gotta update my version to get them free DLC's. Thanks man

@MarioLover92 Yea, once its gets closer to when I plan to hosting the tourney Ill post here. Hopefully I can get at least few ppl T^T.

Ah, i got the Steam version for All-stars Transformed so that's the only one I can really play with ya on.

Yea the Master Chief Collection needs you to have an account, but hey the account's free ! It runs smooth and plays well if you have a decent set-up (which you did say you do!). I got it on sale for $19.99, and I've see it go on sale a few times. You can't go wrong with it, you get most of the Halo games for a low price when on sale. You know that once you do buy it, we are absolutely playing online Btw, did you ever play Spelunky?
