@WoomyNNYes Woah that is pretty cool. Can't say I've seen a blue meteor either.

that one buck game... looked well..

@reporterdavid It's pretty fun. I just beat 3 of the levels and so far the gameplay and music have been awesome. It just looks to be a short game which makes sense cause we did only pay a buck for it!

I had a scary dream just now.
From my dream, my house ceiling started to fall piece by piece and I have to hold the ceiling before it fell down entirely.
While holding the ceiling, I called my Mom If our house was started to fall.
The next thing happened was like random things before I woke up.

@Anti-Matter oof! That does sound pretty buggin out.. btw I'm surprised, you don't like Toree?

@tekoii
Torre was looked too outdated like N64 games. And also not a fan of runner games.

@Anti-Matter Ohhh, I see. The gfx aren't that bad though (might just be a me thing), and it doesn't really play like a runner!

Open evening before the rest of the week eats me alive, so I'll slide in some responses. Just a heads up that it'll likely be a good while before I respond again.

@Sunsy Ah yes, I forgot EA essentially swallowed Maxis a couple decades ago. Such a shame, though unfortunately corporate buyouts are nothing new in many industries. Most of my rides in RCT weren't intentionally deadly, but there was a lot of trial and error (and some demolishing) at different points lol...Maybe a few dozen dead guests and exploding roller coasters.

@tekoii Not sure when I'll get to XC2, but it's still on my "Must Play" list! Torna seems to be decent overall, but the fanbase appears to be divided over whether the base game is better. Still kicking myself that I never picked up the physical copy that could be found in my local Walmart for awhile, but I wasn't aware it had gone out of print. I did like Future Connected, especially for what it did for a couple of certain characters, but I do agree it doesn't measure up to the epicness XC:DE.

@TheJGG Roughly 17 hours of cutscenes? I knew XC2 was a long game, but it seems I've just discovered one of the reasons why. XD Glad you seem to like Torna, I'm actually debating about downloading that when the time comes (Not like I have a choice at this point unless Nintendo does a re-release with DLC included).

@MarioLover92 The area I used to...erm, speed...was fairly rural. I assure you though that I memorized the roads first before going crazy on them.

Glad someone else recommends XC2. It and the Torna expansion are the only members of the Xenoblade series I have yet to get to.

Yeah, sorry if I kicked off a downer of a subject, guys.

Anyone watch anything good lately?
I never saw all of Man of Steel until recently. I liked it. It's that 2013 superman movie with Henry Cavill.

Been watching Simpsons Treehouse of Horror with the audio commentary. It's been pretty interesting to hear the stories behind some of the jokes or interesting points about art direction, camera angles (It's drawn, but they still called it camera angles). I have Simpsons seasons 2-9-ish in mp4... on a thumb drive. I can't tell you how amazing that is. It's like 170 episodes, 54 GB.

Watched the first 40 minutes of Young Frankenstein. I have the dvd & mp4.

Time Trap a movie on Netflix. It has a b movie feel, good effects, made for tv feel at points, but as a science fiction story, it has some cool ideas and plot. It was a good watch. https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/time_trap

Doctor Who reboot, (I have a crap ton of the Doctor in mp4 )
S01E01 "Rose". Eccleston as the Doctor.
S03E03 "The Shakespeare Code". David Tennant as the Doctor. Not an amazing episode, but it has witches.

Oh, and I watched an old bmx video with young Dave Mirra. I got to ride Dave Mirra's warehouse circa 2008 - true story. Coincidentally, Dave and I talked about diet and what we do for exercise.🤪 I wasn't friends with him, just friends of friends kind of thing. This is what the warehouse looked like. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1BJYaLhZpEc Dave let us in, and rode with us, put on a show doing his favorite lines, and so forth.

@X-Slayer By "we" you mean your country? Sorry, that got me confused. In my case it's Mexico.

I personally think that it doesn't matter how many products they ban, people will stay unhealthy if they want to. As you said and as I mentioned, it's a matter of discipline so the solution would be to change the mentality, not to ban products. In my country's case I honestly find it shady and I just see it as a way to raise certain product prices without having many complaints from people and to have control of what products people spend on. Rising soda prices as well as candies and other sugar havy products had little to no impact with the population here.

Can you imagine what would happen if a fire emblem character is shown tomorrow at the smash direct

I predict the new Smash character will be .........a lan adapter. (just sounds disappointing. It's a joke)

@Anti-Matter Yeah, I had a real bad dream the other morning. One of those bad dreams that takes a while to shake of that feeling.

"The final DLC character for Smash Bros Ultimate will be...

Byrin

The protagonist of the latest entry in the Fire Emblem series, Fire Emblem: The Awakening of the Three Fates"

They're part dragon, a respected scholar, and a master strategist. Also the female alt uses a miniskirt.

@Eel When's the Smash direct/reveal going to be?

@WoomyNNYes tomorrow. dunno about the hour though.

@WoomyNNYes 7pm. for me

@Eel Do Eels get up that early?
It says the Norther American times in the thumbnail.

@WoomyNNYes
Dream was like a surreal short movie that mostly didn't make a sense.
Our brain is a great manipulator to make us see something abstract and surrealist like real world in our dream.
I have ever had a dream of seeing my world suddenly vanished when I opened the door and saw nothingness in black and a notice board on a tiny planet that said "This spot has been sold to somebody". That was my world has been sold, didn't even make a sense.

@WoomyNNYes I'll just accept I'll get the final character spoiled and watch it once I feel like it.

Alternatively, I could also leave that video open on the computer to be the first thing I see in the morning.

@Eel Waking up to a Direct video already posted, isn't a bad thing! I rather like that.

Edit: I predict Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl will get a review score of 7 or an 8. I'm open to being wrong, but that's my prediction. I thought Nickelodeon Kart Racers 2 did a surprisingly decent job of trying to make their own Mario Kart game. I'm not saying it was a great game, but I think they came pretty close (my main gripe is drifts steer too sharply, and thus they are a bit hard to implement drift boosts - too hard for a game where drift boosting is such a crucial mechanic), but I think Nickelodeon is putting serious effort & resources into making their own version of popular Nintendo Games. We'll see how All Star Brawl reviews pan out. I'm very curious to see what happens.
