I have ever watched Frozen 2 movie at cinema and it was forgetable.
I didn't even remember the signature songs from Frozen 2, the storyline was really unnecessary to make Elsa separated away from Anna.

I got a good laugh out of Lost in the Woods when I watched Frozen 2 in the cinema.

I ultimately felt the movie came and went without much actually happening… Even though a lot did happen, but it just felt like it was over before the climax could happen… If that makes sense?

I swear, mine sounds like a Christmas song. Considering I was born exactly three weeks after Christmas... touché.

Mine sounds like a Crash Bandicoot cutscene

mine sounds like Banjo Kazooie music

Mine was like Wii Music with whistle.

Mine sounds like the creepy music from the Circus level of Sanitarium I love it

I could picture my jingle in the Earthbound game. Maybe a theme of somebody in the desert area

So I want to ask about Crash Team Racing Switch version.
Since I found my passion with Crash Bandicoot games on Switch (Trilogy and It's About Time) was pretty low due the difficult gameplay (It's About Time was lesser difficult due to unlimited lives for Casual mode) that made me thinking twice to continue my Crash Bandicoot games, as I knew Crash Bandicoot games on PS4 version have really big GB size (25 - 30 GB). I knew the Trilogy and It's About Time PS4 version are still 30 fps as Switch version (except PC version with 60 fps) so not really necessary to get PS4 version as I can save a lot of GB for the games that I still unsure to continue due the difficulty spike. And since I knew CTR (Crash Team Racing) Switch version on all console version was 30 fps, I can consider Switch version to save a lot of GB for my PS4 storage. But, is CTR easy enough for me to play as I heard you need to drift and drift with perfect timing to win the race?
And what are the DLC from CTR ?

Trivia note, from the box design I still prefer the PS4 version as it looked more beautiful than Switch version but to judge from my gaming behavior, I picked the Switch version since the downgrade level from PS4 to Switch version wasn't really noticeable and still same 30 fps and I can play the Switch version first like "testing the water" before I decide to double dip the PS4 version if I feel satisfied enough after finishing the Switch version.

Btw, can somebody tell me the secret for Trilogy, which world level I can farming a lot of lives for Crash ?
Gotta keep exploiting the lives, ahoy!

@TheMelodiusRose Thank you, Trolls is my favorite movie series, so I like to collect stuff from it. Yeah, I like Frozen, so I grabbed it when Disney had 3DS themes up.

@korosanbo Yeah, in 2016 or so, Disney did a bunch of 3DS themes which included Frozen. Saddens me they're no longer available, since they were nice.

Personally, I loved Frozen II, honestly, it was the last time I saw anything fully animated in a theater (would have saw Trolls World Tour on the big screen, but we all know how that went, so waiting on Trolls 3 now). Similar to @Eel, I liked "Lost In The Woods," they gave Kristoff a power ballad, lol.

@Sunsy Yes you're correct, the Mega CD has a different, more relaxing theme for its startup screen. It's used in both Japan and Europe. I love this theme, honestly! Ah all right, so the test drives were normally time limited. Yeah absolutely, the Game Pass is the modern equivalent to that. That's cool. I do have quite a few Mario plushes as well, including the characters you've mentioned. I have a Rosalina plush too.

Thanks! I do love how my case looks too. Are those your Trolls tins? Those look nice. I love your Frozen theme, as well! The characters, backgrounds, and snowflakes all look fantastic. I actually have an Anna figure in my bedroom, that's from the Disney Showcase Collection, I believe, and she has her Coronation Day dress on. It was a birthday present for me a while back. I'm sure I mentioned this before, but I enjoyed Frozen II as well.

@MarioLover92 I agree, I like how the Mega CD theme has that "exciting new tech" (for lack of a better phrase) feel to it. Yeah, my friend has Game Pass on PC and loves it, I keep bringing up that Sega Channel did this before it was cool. Nice, haven't seen a Rosalina plush.

You're welcome. Yup, three of them, I have two more in the Trolls World Tour set. Usually these have magnets, stickers, the Trolls 1 has a mini poster, and the World Tour ones have a small lanyard (called a "wristlet" according to the tin) and a rubber character "charm." I like checking the sports and trading card section for character stuff like that, also got some Trolls clips that way (that was the Poppy in the case picture), they're fun to collect. Those three stay near my computer, minus the magnets obviously.

Yeah, it's cool Disney made this at one point. That very nice, I have a doll set somewhere, it's its packaging, and it's Anna from the second movie, with Olaf. One of those collectables that looks nice when displayed in its package. I'm a guy so I never played with fashion dolls, but I don't mind having a few when they're based on my favorite characters, and Anna is one of my favorites.

@Sunsy
Well, even I have interest with certain Disney things, but I still prefer my own design for my 3DS (card case and machine) as peoples can see my Chibi Boxer design when I bring my 3DS machines outside. It was also part of my promotional things.

Oh, I haven't mention this.
Yesterday I felt really heartbroken to found one of game arcade at Marvell City Mall Surabaya has been closed since early 2022 and one more DDR machine has been removed. It was DDR X, one of my favorite DDR machine. 🥺😖 💔
Currently I can only play one DDR machine at the furthest Mall I can visit, Pakuwon Trade Center Surabaya to play DDR MAX 2 Arcade. And that was the oldest DDR machine which still available in my hometown for 16 years (the machine itself already 20 years old).
I desperately asked one of game center in my hometown to able getting newest DDR machine as possible as the game arcade at other places (Jakarta, Bandung) already got the newest DDR machine but Surabaya (my hometown) still never got one. I don't want the population of DDR machines in my hometown got extinct.

Replies only. I've dialed back my internet use over the last couple of days/this weekend. My uncle's visitation was Thursday evening. The funeral was yesterday. This is also one of those weekends where I gotta do a lot of stuff around the house/property since I haven't been home much.

@MarioLover92 Very hard. The last couple of days were definitely tough emotionally.

Yep, the spinning ones don't do me in, a little of them just goes a LONG way. XD In terms of tabletop games, I have had a little exposure to a couple of World of Darkness settings (specifically Vampire: The Masquerade and Werewolf: The Apocalypse), but I've never played any of them IRL. I do enjoy board games too; my favorites are The Game of Life and Clue.

@TheJGG No worries; I completely understand being very busy offline. Thank you very much; it's been tough, and I and my family are grieving. My brother is normally the stoic sort, and even he's been having a difficult time. The last few days have been quite rough. But I will keep moving forward. There was a lot of support from local family, out-of-town family and friends, and his (and my) home community. Funerals are both terrible and beautiful things, at least in my life outlook.

Best wishes to your granddad. I hope he's able to enter remission, or at least that the cancer stays contained. Chemo takes a lot out of a person. Cancer is a horrible illness in all its forms.

@tekoii Ecstatic? If there's a Battle Network announcement, I'll be lobbing money at my screen! Same with Legends.

As for the XC3 SE fiasco...Yeah. Not sure if you happened to see my comments under the related articles here, not to mention the forum thread, but that situation was a clustertruck through and through. I definitely cranked up the metal in my car on my way home from work.

@Tyranexx
I'm sorry to hear about your loss. 😟

@Tyranexx Sorry for your loss

@Tyranexx I'm so sorry you had to go through that. I wish you the best during this understandably rough period!

@Tyranexx No problem at all, condolence is the least I, and we, can offer at this point. Glad you can take comfort in our wishes. The best thing to do, you’re doing though, so don’t feel guilty for trying to move forward. It’s clear, though, that at the very least he will be missed, and that is by far a positive. I dread the day I have to get tested on this too.

Rest in peace to Billy Kametz too, he died from colon cancer a few days ago, at just 35. He was enlightening as Maruki in Persona 5… it’s a shame he was taken this soon. He is, and always will be Ferdinand von Aegir.

@Tyranexx I’m sorry to hear that, I wish the absolute best.
