" I was always a cartoon kind of guy, that's one thing that never changed."

So, have you tried other cartoonish games such as Cat Quest 1 + 2, Dodgeball Academia, Kao the Kangaroo, Hokko Life, etc?

okay, I just checked how many monopoly versions there are out there cuzI didn't know and oh my...

at the very least there are around 3000 versions. that's staggering. 😮

How Many Monopoly Versions Are There?

I knew there were several dozen versions of Monopoly out there, but not THAT many. O...O

@MarioLover92 Nor am I. I don't dislike Star Wars by any means; I enjoy what I've seen of the films (which admittedly isn't all of them), but I never got really into the franchise. It works very well, I was able to get in a round at work today. I wanted to play again right after I got off work, but the glass on the table was off (likely for some spot maintenance). I didn't want to accidentally lose a ball or something. XD

I highly encourage you to get back into the XC games! But in your own time. They can be quite long hauls.

@Bunkerneath It's a fun one! Pretty slick, modern table. It's a shame its soon-to-be home isn't very close...or maybe that's a good thing? XD I've also always wanted a real pinball table in my house. Unfortunately, outside of the hefty up front cost, I'd also need to either learn how to repair them, or hire someone replacing some parts and components aren't easy and can be expensive.

So, quick question about Kirby games.
Which other Kirby games I can making friends after Star Allies?

@markmarkmark
I'm pretty sure the chart shaped like Mickey Mouse's head is also an old chart too. lol I swear I've seen that chart from a while ago, probably last year, when Disney just acquired Fox studios. Never mind the thousands or millions of workers who lost their job, because Iron Man will finally team up with Wolverine... oh never mind, Avengers: Endgame happened. OOPS.

I could never get into Monopoly though because I suck at it. I'm not cut out for business management. 🤣 Uno is more my game.

I took a nap at 2:30 (in my time) and I woke up at 8:30. I feel off I don't normally take naps, but that blood work drained me (haha) of energy.

@Kermit1
Take care of yourself. Hope you're feeling well. I do enjoy naps like that myself. lol Just sleeping whenever I want in the middle of the day... Man, the freedom. xD

@Maxenmus I feel better now, turns out you don't need to fast before blood work. I do need to fast before the MRI we got the things switched up lol.

Hopefully I don't have anything too bad (I'd explain what I have but I don't want to freak anyone out)

I was away for a few days seeing some family members down across the country, but I'm finally back!

I had a great time overall: seeing my granny and granda, popping into some of my cousins, getting to see said cousin's adorable bijon frise and getting some frankly brilliant food, it was just a fantastic time all around (and probably the last time I'll be doing it for a while what with holidays ending in about a week's time for me).

I got a ton of stuff done gaming wise as well. I played a BUNCH of N64 NSO over the last few days (Mario/Kart 64, Pokemon Puzzle League and WinBack), started up Mario Odyssey for the first time in ages and beat it for the 4th time now (still exceptional by the way) and got a few more arcade runs of Street Fighter Alpha 2 done in Birdie and Sagat (that final fight between Sagat and Ryu in his run? Absolute perfection). I was unfortunately not able to get Wave Race for the trip since I didn't have any online when it came out today but I'm very excited to try it out tomorrow since N64 racing games are my absolute jam (I just hope it's more of a F-Zero X than Mario Kart 64 if you know what I mean).

Other than that though, it's good to be back. Can't wait to watch the Pokemon World Championships over the next few days (especially with the news about SV and the TCG in the closing ceremony)!

@Fizza did you get the SW&SH Victini yet?

@Kermit1 Yep, and it is BEAUTIFUL.

(10 years of waiting has led up to this moment)

Also started up a hunt for a shiny Eiscue since I'm back on Shield anyway (plus it's version exclusive in SV so I'd like to have a stock of them to transfer up from HOME). Currently on 150 eggs and having a pretty good time as well

@Fizza I still need a Japanese ditto for the madusa method.

@Kermit1 I only have one foreign Ditto myself unfortunately so I can't help you there. I do have multiple foreign Impidimp if you'd like on though

@Kermit1 in which game do you need it?

@Snatcher Pokeman Sword

(lol google correct)

@Sunsy Nice, I have those three games on my Wii as well. (Well, technically on my Wii U's virtual Wii Menu.) I think I got Dr. Mario Online RX from Club Nintendo as well, if memory serves me correctly. I got Mega Man 10 as well, which is also a solid game.

Yeah same here, I pretty much wear anything that I really like. I just looked up Weezer actually, I thought I heard of them before - turns out they made a song that I totally recognized, which was Buddy Holly. Yeah, I found myself listening to game music quite a bit more. Sonic games tend to have awesome music for sure, including Sonic Adventure 2.

Nice - I remember my brother having a Pokemon shirt as well, which isn't surprising since he's huge into Pokemon. Yeah that is surprising for sure, that is cool that Amazon has all sizes for the Disney shirts. You're likely right on that, Sofia the First's been around for quite some time now, from what I remember. So it makes sense that some would get nostalgic for that show.

That's cool to hear. I didn't really get into PC games until much, much later, when I got my first gaming laptop. It was mostly consoles for me until that point. Jeez, your teacher wasn't cool with what you were wearing, huh? That blows. I've once had a teacher who was similarly judgmental at times, as well.

Ah yeah I totally remember when My Little Pony got huge around the last decade, I think my younger brother was into that show, too. I would never want to go back to those days either, to be perfectly honest. I did get complements for the Mario tees I'd wear around campus, too.

I never got into wrestling, but that's cool - the closest I ever got was catching parts of baseball games that my dad would watch. (No pun intended!) He was huge into baseball back in the 90s and 2000s. Yeah pretty much same here, though I've always been more of a gamer than anything. Most other students during my high school days would be into stuff like Halo, Call of Duty, Assassin's Creed, etc., whereas I'd play stuff like Mario Kart Wii and various Sonic games instead, lol. (I remember finishing all the Genesis Sonic games around that time.) Though, I did eventually get Halo: TMCC since I wanted to play it for some time.

Glad you liked it, thought of you since you do like the Sonic Advance games. I saw Sega's video on the Genesis Mini 2 as well! Some of the games I wanted made it in too, like Ranger-X, Revenge of Shinobi, and Shining Force II. They've got a very solid lineup of games IMO.

@Tyranexx I do like what I've seen of the Star Wars movies as well. The only ones I've seen were A New Hope and Empire Strikes Back, and I did like them overall. Ah gotcha, I don't blame you for not wanting to lose the ball. That's a must for a pinball machine, but you knew that already.

Yeah, they are pretty long games for sure. I've put in around 80 hours into XC2, before I got stuck in that one part. I can show you a screenshot of where I'm at on Discord if you want me to.

@Kermit1 oh yeah. I can give you one.

@Snatcher okay can we trade tomorrow I gotta go sleep and cut a lawn in the morning.

I'll message you tomorrow when I'm good to trade.

@Kermit1 Sounds good!

We all joke about some news stories being completely unexpected and whatnot when they really aren't, but I think this one is genuinely something nobody could've seen coming.
