@MarioLover92 Do it. Drawing is so relaxing!

@Zuljaras I think I have been getting more consistent with how much I draw. I would need to hype myself up before I did, then I just wouldn't do it, now I can do it stress free.

@Snatcher I do not draw as much as I would want to but once I sit/lay down I could lose track of time easily

@Zuljaras Agreed, it just happens, and time just, happens LOL.

So, moving was ok. I still have to go back to the old home for some things I missed (we moved with a small van), but most of my stuff is with me. Including PC, games, game systems, DVDs, bed, and my plushies. First night sleeping was hard, but I noticed the space between my bed and the wall is about the same, so I plan to recreate my space to make it similar to my old place for comfort.

@MarioLover92 Yeah. Also, playing earlier, I noticed something... there's a nice little retro detail on Coconut Mall I missed the first time playing.

I remember solitaire, and my dad being hooked to minesweeper and Spider solitaire. I don't think I ever tried the Internet version of those games. Yes, I remember that pinball game.

Very cool! I'm surprised I'm just hearing about this game given my brother had a Genesis.

Posted an update, it went ok. Still need to go get some things from the old place as we used a van instead of a big moving truck.

@BruceCM Oh you're talking about the pinball game, right? Yeah, I've seen a video about it and it was an interesting watch. I do have a similar game, which is Zen Pinball for the 3DS. It's quite a solid pinball game and it comes with 4 tables.

@Zuljaras Agreed - will do, then. SMB3 is one of my all-time favorites, as well! I haven't been drawing as much as I'd like to either - really wanna change that.

@Sunsy Glad to hear the moving went all right! That was a cool detail they made for sure, the middle of the track that has the old-school Mario scenery with blocks and pipes.

That's cool. I did play quite a bit of solitaire and spider solitaire back in the day. Though I never really got into minesweeper myself. Like, I'd uncover a mine every time I play, lol. The pinball game came with our copy of Windows 95 Plus, I believe - I liked playing it quite a lot. It came with a bunch of cool wallpapers and sound effects, one theme that I truly remember was the one that takes place inside a computer.

Cool, I know there are quite a few of those games around & have played bits of free ones occasionally, @MarioLover92 ... But as I hadn't particularly heard about the 1 you mentioned, I looked it up
Hope you settle in well & it becomes a nice home, @Sunsy. Once you have all your stuff organised, that'll help a lot

@BruceCM I think it'd be really cool to see a Zen Pinball version of the Super Mario Bros. pinball machine. Not sure if that would happen anytime soon, but hey I can dream. Loved playing it in my local arcade!

@tekoii I can imagine myself yelling out some pretty crazy things while playing the game. "Eat soda metal!", "This cone doesn't serve ice cream!", etc. Clichèd stuff like that lol. Maybe better close my windows before my neighbors think I'm crazier than I already am. . Definitely enjoyed my time with the first two Kirby's Dream Land titles recently.

@Sunsy Much luck with the moving. I know how stressful it can be. It can certainly take a bit of time to adjust, but you will.

@JaxonH Dang, sounds like an eventful trip so far! I'm glad nobody was hurt, and that you and your family were able to get help. I hope the rest of your trip is enjoyable!

@MarioLover92 I didn't properly have access to Disney Channel, so most of the other shows you mentioned I've only seen in passing. I did used to have a couple of DuckTales episodes on VHS though. The Disney shows I was able to watch aired on a Saturday morning block on our local ABC network.

I won't spoil why I slightly prefer Wario Land II, though 3 is a close second in my book. It's pretty neat what they were able to fit on the humble GB and GBC back in the day. As for the Golden Sun series, it can be quite text heavy. Almost wordier than it needs to be at times, but they're still enjoyable games with an interesting story line. Though the Djinn system can almost break the game in the right situations lol.

@Link-Hero His roles as Lago, Mr. Mxyzptlk and a bunch of other great characters injected such wittiness and contrast into the movies/shows he was in. I'm gonna miss him so much.

@Tyranexx Ah ok, I did see some Disney shows on ABC a long while back too. That's cool you had some DuckTales tapes.

Yeah absolutely, and I think it's among the first games where you wouldn't take damage when getting hit by an enemy, you'd lose coins instead. Kinda like how Kirby's Epic Yarn works. It's got that transformation thing going too, which is cool. Wario Land 4 did the same thing, IIRC - although there are hit points in that game. Gotcha, I should be able to handle the amount of text. It's pretty much what I come to expect in RPGs, after all!

@Link-Hero Oh no...just hours ago? That's really sad news indeed, can't believe it hit us just like that. I liked his role as Iago the parrot - may he rest in peace.

@Link-Hero I knew him from Aladdin, My he Rest In Peace ):

@Link-Hero I know that he talks weird things. He even ignored me hardcore (I can't see his posts anymore)
here as I report some of his posts that are inappropriate BUT you have to understand that he lives with severe form of Aspergers. This is why he thinks that way. There is no way around it.

Just learn to accept it and that is that

There was a fire on one of Mall in my hometown, Tunjungan Plaza 5 this evening! 🤯

I got the message from my teacher's group this evening and it was aired also on my local TV channel. From the fire source location, i was thinking it might be from the restaurant on that floor (floor 5) since i remembered the location of restaurants at Tunjungan Plaza 5. I will update the latest situation tomorrow.

@link-hero i dont care what he’s done, that’s not something thats okay to say.

@Zuljaras I've been away shopping for the last couple hours, do you mind me asking what I've missed? (considering how there seems to be a touchy subject at the forefront of it, if you don't want to say it that's completely fine)

@Fizza I have no issue with talking about anything

I was just telling to Link-Hero that Anti is suffering from a condition and that is why he has specific way of thinking.

To cheer everyone up I will show you my unpainted Death statue from Castlevania Portrait of Ruin!

@Zuljaras Understood, thanks for letting me know! Death looks like it's coming along great as well! (which is a sentence I didn't expect to be saying)

@Anti-Matter Stay safe man! I've thankfully lived in a very spread out, rural area so I haven't had to deal with anything like that but hopefully you'll be ok!

@Fizza
Thank goodness I wasn't there.
I was at home eating my dinner then I got messages and short video from my handphone about that fire at Tunjungan Plaza 5. Then I saw it was airing too from TV on my local TV channel.
Cannot imagine if I was there in that time then I saw a fire spreaded out, peoples get panic and I have to get out ASAP from the building before something worse happened.

I have a challenge for you good fellows:

Name me 20 movies, TV shows, and/or video games that have been remade and/or rebooted in the last 5 years.
