Topic: The Chit-Chat Thread

The craziest thing just happened to me there on my walk.

Like I just said, I went on my daily walk about half an hour ago and noticed a bit of a commotion at my local pub. I go down to see what happened and I come to discover there's been a car accident. Two of my friends were there talking about it and I asked them what had happened. They were unsure of the exact details but something supposedly got caught in the driver's front wheel, causing them to veer to the right and into the pub's front wall. Thankfully the driver was apparently not injured and was only taken away in an ambulance for the routine after-accident medical checkup and the pub was barely damaged at all aside from a few bits of stone falling off. The car itself however was another story: the entire front right side of it was battered. Broken headlights, scraped and dented metal and the wheel was absolutely butchered. I came in when they were moving it onto the lorry to tow it away and I had apparently missed it by only an hour. Considering how it just so happened to hit the exact path I take for my walks, it was certainly spine-chilling to have the thought of narrowly missing being hit by a car.

Moral of the story: cherish life to fullest. You never know how easy it can be for it to go away.

Yeah, sounds like he had a great life, @Zuljaras .... Still difficult for the owner, hopefully they manage

@Fizza Thank goodness everyone was ok in the end.

@Link-Hero I haven't seen you in a bit, how have you been?

I got a Leafeon plush from Build-a-Bear... I love him

On vacation me and my family went to Beyond Van Gogh, it was great, the first half is (4K) screens with text and quotes from and about him (did not know he cut his ear off...). Side note I've never seen 4K screens before and MAN 4K is clear. Getting back on track the second half was the giant painting room, the room would change paintings and I can't do it justice so do look it up.

Day 2:
Went to an arcade and saw LUIGI"S MANSION ARCADE and MARIO KART GP after that we went to the mall and I got a Leafeon plush.

Day 3:
Drove home and I'm tired and typing at the same time from the comfort of home.

Next month my family's big trip is, and we have two 3 hour layovers I WILL BE TAKING MY LAPTOP so sometime next month Kermit the Frog will be typing at ya from airport wifi at 2 bars per second.

@Kermit1
Just wonder, did you see DDR Arcade machine also over there ?

@Anti-Matter Yes! just 1 but I didn't get a good look at it

So GOG's Summer Sale started and grabbed Strike Commander. I like it so far, it's like Wing Commander, but with fighter jets. Did the first three missions this evening. Also watched Sing 2.

@MarioLover92 I still remember some of the behind the scenes stuff from the Pinocchio DVD (the 2009 one), and it was really impressive what they did at the time for the movie. Yeah, it's the only way Trolls fans can see some of the ideas and artwork that went into the sequel. It's still is nice to have, it's fun seeing some early stuff.

I've only played the Windows 95 port, the Gems Collection version, and the 2012 version on Steam and mobile. Yeah, that would have been cool, I think at one point I had a Mario skin for my DS Lite, came with a carrying case, but I never used it. Was always afraid it would leave a sticky residue on it. While it's not a face plate, I have an Anna and Elsa carrying case for my New 3DS XL.

@Kermit1 Glad you love your Leafeon from Build-A-Bear. I have a bunch of My Little Pony ones, and some of the Trolls ones, and they're really high quality plushies. It's nice seeing them get Pokemon in.

@Sunsy Nice. I do remember that Pinocchio's one of your favorites, too. Yeah agreed for sure on seeing those early stuff.

All righty gotcha. I did have a Sega CD from eBay a long while back, that's how I got to play the original version of Sonic CD. It was the model 2, the one with the top-loading disc tray. I did play those other versions too. I don't think a lot of people had a Sega CD when it originally came out either, most Genesis owners only had the base console, so I can't blame you in that regard.

Ah I see. Yeah they can certainly leave residue if you decide to take stickers off, and I don't recall having stickers on my handhelds. I like having them look as they were intended. That's cool you have an Anna and Elsa carrying case - again, no pun intended, lol! I have a Mario themed one in my bedroom that came with two extra styluses, one that has a star, the other having a red shell.

@Kermit1 They made a Luigi's Mansion arcade game? I never knew that. I definitely played the first Mario Kart arcade game, but not any of its sequels. That's cool you got a Leafeon plush.

I had no clue they made a Luigi's mansion arcade game... I didn't play either sadly (oh i almost forgot Cruisin blast was also there) I spent all my points on Angry Birds arcade my inner 2010s got the best of me

@MarioLover92 Very cool, you got to experience the original. Nope, my cousin was the only one I know who had a Sega CD. The only add-on my family got was Sega Channel. We didn't buy the add-ons, even though I looked at them in gaming magazines at the time.

Yeah, same, I don't even think I used Pokemon stickers. Then again, I rarely used stickers, usually I just get them with my favorite characters and look at them on the sheet. It's a really nice case, worked perfectly at the time thanks to the Anna and Elsa theme the 3DS had. Sounds like a cool case, outside the Anna and Elsa ones, most of my cases were generic with the system logo.

@Kermit1 True story, I took a trip to the boardwalk years ago, and an arcade had a Flappy Bird arcade machine.

@Sunsy One time I went to my local arcade and it had Doodle Jump the arcade game... Long story short I was so good I almost broke the machine with how many tickets I won, they were paper tickets btw.
(i won like 5k)

_{this is real...}

THERE WAS A WHAT.

We have them here in most bowling alleys or arcades inn. Mobile games on the large screen. Crossy roads. Doodle jump and flappy birds. Can’t really say people were queuing up to insert coins

@Fizza it's kinda weird how many moblie games are getting arcade versions

@Kermit1 I played that game so much growing up on my household's IPad. Is it on the Google Play Store? I might have to indulge in it once again if so.

@Fizza Yes, last I checked... 7 weeks ago

@Sunsy Yeah! That Sega CD model 2 startup is quite chill too. That's cool you knew someone who had it - I think I mentioned this before, but my uncle had a Sega Saturn back in the day. I'm curious, what games do you remember playing on the Sega Channel? I do remember there were a few exclusive games on it, namely Mega Man: The Wily Wars and Pulseman. (Fun fact: the latter was made by Game Freak.)

Ah yeah, speaking of Pokemon stickers, my younger brother plastered our original DS with them, lol. The one that's platinum and came with the Metroid Prime Hunters demo. That's cool, so you're also less likely to lose them I think. I remember taking that Mario 3DS case with me quite a bit when it was current. That was when I had my original 3DS XL, before I upgraded to the new model.

@Anti-Matter Hey thanks for showing me the video. It does look quite a bit different from the main LM games with that first-person perspective, that's for sure!

I know I asked in the Pokemon Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee Thread, but can anyone trade me the remaining Pokemon I need for my pokedex. All I need is the Let's Go Eevee exclusives and both games trade evos
