@blindsquarel All righty, so I actually went ahead and looked at your post. I think what you wanna do is start at 180 degrees (since, like 0 degrees, it's right on the x axis), then subtract by 61. That should give the other solution you're looking for. Hope this helps.

@MarioLover92
You have no idea the time you just saved me. I can actually get some sleep tonight instead of doing homework.

@blindsquarel Awesome, really glad I was able to help you out with your math work! Rest easy.

Heh, I'll probably try Daggerfall, too, @Tyranexx .... Anyone know about the 2 for £5 they put up? I'll look into those before buying as I don't know much about them

@blindsquarel Sin x = 7/8.Yeah you'd need a calculator, to do the (sin-1).

I also got 61.04 (round down to 61 due to 3sf). You're correct.

Trig isn't that hard with a calculator. Getting the process down's tough however.

Thanks, hopefully they update it soon, then, @Link-Hero .... If it's too much hassle, I won't bother but I'll check!

I recorded a ton of little videos and uploaded them back when I was at my brother's with good internet earlier in the year, and have been slowly releasing them to make it seem like my youtube channel is actually active.

But they're almost done releasing, and now I need to actually record and upload new content. Sigh.

Hm I wonder if we will visit him again any time soon, I should create a new stockpile for that.

Burnout was pretty fun, rented it for GameCube back in the day. I have Burnout Paradise. Realistic racing, that is something I could never get into no matter how hard I try. I always prefer the more arcade-style of racing. Whether it's real cars or not.

Yeah, I was really surprise to find several MOHAA servers with people playing. Had a bit of a nostalgia fix since I did play online a lot in late 2006. Yup, people still play Counter-Strike, I played it on my old PC years ago, and people were still playing, they're still playing today. 1.6 was very popular and a lot like it. I did move onto CS:GO when I got my new PC a few years back.

Cool, I've been doing that with Mario Kart 8's DLC as well. Just always fun driving around tracks.

Yeah, I was really surprised given Trolls and Frozen would be the last thing I'd expect to see on vinyl. I expected more classic rock or something on vinyl. Having local music files is always a good thing. I haven't bought a CD in years since most music is DRM-free when bought, so I usually just burned a CD for the car when I did ride in one (car didn't have an MP3/iPod/iPhone setup). Last CD I got was My Little Pony: The Movie soundtrack. Haven't gotten a CD since. I'll still buy them if it's a special album, like I did with the MLP movie. Maybe I'll do that one day for Trolls just to have the soundtrack itself, even if I have all of them digitally (though, Trolls Holiday In Harmony is digital only AFAIK).

@MarioLover92 I typically like playing as the "main" hero if there is one, but I don't mind switching things up on occasion. Especially if the alternative is a beloved character lol.

I hope you're enjoying Drill Dozer! That was a fun one on the Wii U VC that I dived into at one point last year. Same with XC2; the World Tree is kinda tough, but the payoff after that giant slog of a dungeon is worth it.

@BruceCM I can't speak for the discounted games, but IMO Daggerfall is worth a look just to fuel my MS-DOS nostalgia. I've never played the game before though.

@Link-Hero I appreciate the info. It'll be some time before I get to the game anyway, so I'll keep an eye out for a patch or three or an alternative way to play it.

I'll tell you something: this UK Spring Sale on the eShop has made me heavily reconsider picking Skyward Sword HD up. I was going to get it around about the time it came out but opted to put that money towards the Ace Attorney Switch collections (one of my best decisions ever in retrospect). However, after reading reviews for it again and watching a couple videos of the beginning segment, I am hooked on the style and gameplay I've seen. Do you want to know the weirdest thing as well? I'm probably not even getting it on the eShop since there's a physical copy at my local shop for only €45! Hoping to pick it up for the summer holidays perhaps.

edit: today I learned you can't spoiler gifs

Is Slipstream any good? I've had it on my wist-list for a while now and I'm currently cleaning it out, mainly seeing what I want to keep.

@Sunsy Yeah, I prefer the more arcade-style racing games too. Stuff like Daytona USA, San Francisco Rush, you name it - they are where it's at. The same goes with other genres as well, like sports. I like stuff like Mario Tennis and Wii Sports, but if it's something like Madden...not so much.

That's cool. I wonder if people still play Halo, since I have TMCC on Steam. I'll probably need to play more of the main games' campaigns so I can get better at it. Doesn't Doom 2016 have multiplayer as well? I also have that game. Too bad I only made a small amount of progress though...I may have to tone down the difficulty to "I'm too young to die." lol

Yeah there's a ton of vinyl records available, and most, if not all of the newer albums are getting vinyl releases too. My dad has a ton of vinyl records, and he's a massive music fan, which is how I knew about it. I think I saw a vinyl album that had the cover for Super Mario Land at one point. Though, I don't have a record player.

@Tyranexx Yeah I'm loving Drill Dozer! Really glad that I picked it up before the Wii U eShop's demise. The drill mechanic is cool, and it allows for some clever level design at points. The music's awesome, too. I just finished the second area.

Edit: I finished the third area not too long ago.

Yeah, Daggerfall has been freely available for awhile from Bethesda, if you want to get it that way instead, @Tyranexx .... Always nice to get physical, @Fizza & then you could trade the game in after playing if you wanted to!

@Kermit1 Why would you want to hide one of the greatest videos ever made.

@BruceCM Yeah, I'm definitely leaning towards it, especially with that gorgeous box art that would be great to have on display. The weirdest thing is that I didn't really vibe with Ocarina of Time and haven't played Majora's Mask in regards to 3D Zelda games yet there's something about SS that's calling me. Maybe it's the motion controls? Or the higher focus on story than before? Who can say.
Also, can't wait to watch the Chuggaaconroy let's play of it after I beat it, that's going to be a great time.

I have accumulated 10 hours gameplay of Epic Chef PS4 since I got the game last week and my impression so far was quite good.
It was a cartoonish game with some sarcastic jokes and mild rude language, kinda like Paper Mario games dialogues. The recipes were pretty bizarre from my cooking experience, from Rat meat, Mandragora fruit, Ghostato, etc.
My last progress was have owned the Restaurant after beating Torapio, an Orc chef with very rude behaviour whose dishes are very high in Vigor point but very low in Spirit and Sophistication points so I defeated him in 3 Rounds with very High Sophistication dishes (using Ghostato as main ingredient).

Btw, @Tyranexx have you played Epic Chef ?

Well, Skyward Sword was only my 2nd Zelda game, @Fizza .... Heard great things about the previous ones but I'll wait to see what comes to Switch & then look into any of those!

@Fizza It was just a test, and it went down river!

Ah, Skyward Sword. Linear yet liberating. Tough yet simple. Difficult yet easy.

Jeez that game was a ride.

@Kermit1 I like the purple and orange joycons. When my brother said he bought that joycon color combo for my nieces for christmas, I thought it sounded dumb. But, my opinion changed as soon as I saw them in person on the switch. They're rad.
