@MarioLover92 Ahh goin thru the campaign are you? Halo is actually pretty epic in terms of world and story. I got me Xbox controller for games that need it! Maybe if I see you on I can maybe join in and we can do some coop.
@Tyranexx Heck yea!! I agree with a lot of your sentiments and am glad you're enjoying these cool parts also. Ironically, that moment with the Praetor glitching into Malos scared the eff outta me, cause I was playing till early hours, and I got spooked XD Tense heart2heart with Brig and Pyra..Fans death was wild.. I love the cinematics of how Amalthus literally stops the war by literally coming thru with the whole Indol titan.
@Sunsy Oh wow thanks! That's awesome, that means that Youtube is giving me a shot and that my SEO might be doing its work right! And thanks I'm having a blast with it even on just ep1, I'm surprised by a lot of the elements of SA1. I love how open it is. I LOVE CHAO. I love how you find levels even if its a bit obscure. It is an early-ish 3d game, so devs were still figuring out how to develop 3d games. Great times ahead for me with this game! But thanks again for letting me know about my channel poppin up!
@tekoii You're welcome! I don't know the ins and outs of YouTube, but I did see it pop up and was like "I've seen that name somewhere before." Yeah, it really was an open game. Chao can provide a lot of replay value for the game, going back and replaying levels to collect the animals. It encourages you to explore and find ways into it.
A little something in Sonic Adventure DX: BTW, the thing that was flying outside Casinopolis was Cream the Rabbit. She makes several cameos, this was something added to Sonic Adventure DX, but not the original Dreamcast game.
No problem, it was a nice surprise. It's refreshing to see someone on YouTube enjoy the game.
@Sunsy Yeah, it is cool to see others still play games on consoles that are a generation earlier than the Switch. I was considering playing Mario Kart 7 online at one point, after so long. I still have my copy. It's not as good as MK8 of course, but it's still a solid game and it has some really good courses. Rainbow Road in particular is amazing.
@Tyranexx I just remembered, my brother had a ton of manga for Naruto, back when he was into the anime. I think I had one of those Pokemon ones back when I was about 7 or so, I know the art style was different from the anime at the time, and I think it had Red instead of Ash. Could be wrong though, my memory from the late 90s is kinda hazy.
Ah I see, there's some crazy stuff happening in The Big Lebowski but I really liked it. Love some of the characters too. There's a trailer on YouTube so you can see if it's up your alley.
@tekoii Yeah, I'm starting out with Halo Reach and working my way up. I've been using my keyboard and mouse to play the game, shooters play really good with those.
@NeonPizza Couldn't agree with you more. I'm pretty sick of this "video games are bad for you" nonsense...we at least have the courtesy to let people enjoy what they like, gaming or otherwise. Do they literally expect me, for example, to get rid of all my Nintendo games and consoles just like that? Because I ain't doing that.

AKA MarioVillager92. Ask if you want to be Switch friends with me, but I want to get to know you first. Thanks! ❤️
So I just finished making my first mini figure. It is Soma Cruz, the protagonist from Castlevania Aria of Sorrow. It is for my upcoming Castlevania diorama
It is damn hard to make figures in such small scale :/
@Tyranexx Thank you! It’s been a mess over at the old company. Meanwhile I have gotten a lot of much needed rest and went home to visit my family.
Taiko is good for the soul, Hoisa!

@TheJGG
What's even worse than friends(or just anybody in general for that matter) who don't play videogames have no problem telling you to your face that they're a waste of time fully knowing that it's something that THAT other person is passionate about and something he or she enjoys as one of their hobbies. I for one wouldn't have it in me to trash somebody else's hobby(s).
It's baffling though, because video games, like Movies, watching sports, comedies shows, TV, music etc are all forms of entertainment that are meant to be enjoyed. But for some reason all of the above with the exception of videogames always get a free pass. Videogames still have that stigma attached to them. Nowhere near as badly as before, but it's still a thing unfortunately which is why i always feel like i have to keep it on the downlow half the time, depending on who i'm around.
I know you weren't talking to me so I apologize for barging in but omg I hate this so much lol.
There was this new lady at work and she was trying to start up a conversation with me. I didn't really want to talk to her because I was so wrapped up in my work at the moment but I didn't want to be rude. At one point in the conversation, she asked me "What do you do for fun? Do you play video games?" I told her that I love them but I only usually get the chance to play video games late at night because I do school in the mornings and I come into work afterward (I don't get home from work until 10 pm).
Telling her this was such a mistake. See, at my job, they have this "seniority rule". For example, if they want to send someone home early because there isn't a lot of work that day, they start by asking whoever has worked there the longest first. I always thought this rule was fair because it was like a reward for staying loyal to the company. Since I worked at my current job for a few years now, I tend to be one of the first people they ask. My supervisor will ask me occasionally if I'd like to go home early (sometimes it's only a half-hour early) and this new lady makes such a big fuss about it whenever they ask me. She complains about how I shouldn't be allowed to leave early because I'll just go home and play video games while she has more important stuff to do. (I feel like she doesn't realize that even if I said I wanted to stay they'd just ask whoever is next on the seniority list; since she's a new employee she's all the way at the bottom.)
It bothers me because it feels like she's trying to use the TINY bit of information I gave about myself to paint me as a lazy person. I only told her I play video games for fun and that was only because she asked me. Whenever she talks to me now she speaks to me in a pretty condescending tone. When I show up to work she'll ask me things like "so did you stay up till 5 in the morning playing video games again?" It's REALLY annoying; I didn't even want to talk to her in the first place. I just did so because she was new and I didn't want to be rude.
Anyway, sorry for venting, I just wanted to get that off my chest lol
So uh... I guess I'm back? I was planning on going away for a lot longer than this but apparently the world had different plans, what with all of the news lately. So, at least until the week before PLA comes out, I'm back!
Mind you, it wasn't wasted time. I got sooooo much more stuff done on my Brilliant Diamond Pokedex, including 370 Pokemon seen and 305 caught (the highlight so far of which being somehow evolving Tyrogue into Hitmontop when I wasn't even trying to which was hilarious) and getting a bit more deep into some Mega Drive games like Mean Bean Machine, Gunstar Heroes and Dynamite Heady.

@TheJGG Don't worry man, It will pass! I wish you two my best. also, happy birthday! Your an amazing person, and an amazing person deserves an amazing Happy birthday surprise.........Surprise, I er, don't have one ):
Not the best day but I have a lot to look forward to now. I got Skyrim for Switch, and two PS4 games: Mass Effect: Legendary Edition, and Cyberpunk 2077 for PS5, and surprisingly the game runs pretty well. I really like the game judging off of the first hour; the player customisation's pretty detailed, the graphics are quite nice (a handful of technical hiccups but nothing near launch state), and the dialogue trees and writing's interesting enough. I imagine a lot of stuff was promised and undelivered in the end but that doesn't condemn the game to an eternal fiery hell... yet. Skyrim works well too. Obviously the graphics are noticeably bad but it feels like a really ugly game that would come out this year. It has a huge world, decent music (so far), and lots of voice acting.
@Tyranexx Crazy week indeed. The weekend was relatively calm but exploded into life as soon as we became obliged to leave the house. Not the best birthday as I mentioned but… it happens. It’s fitting I had to celebrate getting a swab put down my throat… two times. I’ll address your XC2 commentary point by point since you wrote many posts.
Yeah that area has some decent music. They do reuse the Cliffs of Morytha track for this area but it’s no biggie, they give off the same vibes. It’s like what the original did with the “Riki the Legendary Heropon” song, which played long before we even met Riki. I absolutely hate Patroka and Mikhail, in that order. She’s not hatable as a good character, she’s just boring. Mikhail’s the same but has some sensitivity in time.
I really do like Leftheria. Interesting take on the beach area; and the clouds really add to the strange nature of the location, especially the cloud barrier and the Cloudway. The area’s pretty big so I remember just ploughing through to get to the next destination.
You encountered one of my favourite Mórag moments then, since you wrapped up the chapter: “$#%, who gave that damn order!”. Her cool persona completely shatters here; hence why I like it so much. Vandham put it best though; war is just an excuse. Another one of my favourite scenes is Jin’s cutscene where he unmasks. You did your research I imagine, knowing what the Torna DLC is about, but it provides some context for these moments.
@Vortexeo That’s a really interesting story, thanks for sharing it. Gave me a lot to think about honestly. It’s such a shame people like to generalise after having one conversation with someone. It must have stung, having someone you barely know singling you out as lazy because you play video games. The issue with the mindset that video games make people lazy is that video games are so mainstream now. If you fired people that play video games from their jobs I imagine most countries and/or companies would have a proverbial arm ripped off economically speaking.
I’d recommend not feeding trolls. Advice that can be used in real life and the internet alike. Keep enjoying video games, for me they’re an incredible de-stress method, and a damn good time anyway!
As for my birthday; I appreciate it, thank you. @MarioLover92, @Snatcher and @Zuljaras ’m very thankful for the support too, I hope you’re all staying safe.
@TheJGG Hopefully covid passes easily for you, since I think I recall you got the vaccine. Sorry to hear, my friend.
Also, you got Skyrim on the Switch!? Man.... I watched the opening of the game on youtube, and saw that beheading, and I'm squeemish, lol, so I skipped that game, worried there's more of that. I was like, dammit!😃 Looks like a cool game, though. Is there much else violent/gory like that as far you've seen?
