All my life my Queen was Queen Elizabeth II. Same with my parents. And their parents. Her reign was incredible and she dealt with the responsibility with dignity, every day. And now she’s gone. Just like that.
Oh wow that is certainly a shock to hear! She’s been like, a constant element of culture for so long… That it became easy to forget she was indeed a person.
I'm in the exact same situation as @TheJGG myself. To see such a constant fixture of British (and pretty much the rest of the world) life suddenly just gone like that leaves me in such a bizarre feeling where I just....don't know what to say. One of Britain's best Queens ever and a presence that will be sorely missed for probably the rest of time.
@Fizza In honesty the Queen’s death… it was always something we all had to gear up for in recent years… but still, when it actually comes we still don’t feel ready. It still doesn’t feel real. Maybe it’ll sink in soon. It’s going to be a strange feeling.
But it’s not all bad. We were graced with such a great figure who took such responsibility and rose to the challenges admirably. With any luck the dignity, kindness and humility the Queen had will live on in us all.
I saw the top post on Reddit saying she was in ill health and when I clicked it, I was in shock for a second seeing only a few minutes ago she had passed away. I ran to tell my Mom and she turned the channel to CBC.
We will miss her iconic appearance on Mr Bean animated series.
My condolences.
Curiously enough, my introduction to the concept of Queen Elizabeth and real life royalty existing was Mr. Beans original series, where he meets (and headbutts) her.
@Kermit1 It was announced yesterday that she was in ill health by her doctors and Prince Charles as well as Williiam and Harry along with their familes were heading to be with her so it sounded like she didn't have much time.

@Tasuki I had a feeling, She was going to pass away. Something like that happened in my family once, where everyone came together see someone before they passed.
Condolences to my friends over in Britain. As an American I can't say it affects me in the same manner as it does to you folks across the pond, but she's been such a constant in the world culture it's going to be strange without her.

Well, Bomberman on Gamecube only have 2 games. Bomberman Generation was exclusive to Gamecube and the price on Ebay was really inflated, mostly you find PAL version with some Japanese version. USA version was extremely rare to find from Ebay and I was so lucky to get Bomberman Generation USA version with cheaper price directly from my hometown.
The other one was Bomberman Jetters with similar gameplay as Generation and it has PS2 version as well but the PS2 version lack of cell shaded lines. The USA and PAL version were really inflated on Ebay but the Japanese version especially PS2 version was cheaper.
Btw, if you want to try some Bomberman games, get PS2 machine Japan version as it has the most Bomberman games on PS2 but most of them are never got English version.
My recommendations: Bomberman Battles (Classic + Golf + Tennis + Baseball) Bomberman Land 3 (Free roaming in Fun Park + Party games + Bomberman Kart DX part but it was really difficult to play) Bomberman Jetters (Similar gameplay as Bomberman Generation)
Don't pick Bomberman Kart and DX version as the games are really hard in drifting and you will oftenly see Failed on the screen.
Better you expand your gaming experience from games like these and never before played games as I found you only know about Sonic games, Disney games, Mario games, Troll, My Little Pony, etc so I have difficulty to discuss about some specific games.
I have challenged myself from the games I don't even have much interest with them such as Rango PS3, Ben 10 games on PS3, Disney Universe PS3, Rabbids games on Wii, Kirby Star Allies Switch, etc and I got some new experience from playing those games even though some of them I admitted not really good games but still playable.
Cool, but I'm not going to buy a PlayStation 2 just to play Bomberman. Wouldn't mind playing more Bomberman games since I had fun with the one I have for Dreamcast, and that free-to-play game on Switch and PC. I could try the ones on Nintendo consoles. The only PC ones I see are Super Bomberman R and the F2P one, which are both on Switch.
I have other games I want to play more, but maybe I'll consider a Bomberman Nintendo game if I stumble across a game for an affordable price (I really don't like how older games have been going up in price).
I'm surprised by the lack of Bomberman games on PC, if there were more games than Super Bomberman R on Steam, I would consider buying them there.
@Sunsy The fact that I have a coworker that I can now discuss gaming with a little has helped too. I've been using internet forums since high school - well over a decade - and I've found smaller, less used but active segments of sites (like the forums here) are better than the cesspool that IGN turned into. I began my forum career there a LONG time ago on the Pokemon boards. That was back when the site was mostly focused on gaming news. I visit a couple of other gaming sites besides here and occasionally peruse others if an interesting article comes across my feed, but this is the only place I have an account. Some of it is time, but the internet in general wears me out even on a good day sometimes.
Ah, yes; high school and, by extension, jr. high. The era of life where "growing up" for many means leaving things perceived as "kiddie" behind. I watched some kids cartoons long after I was no longer part of their target audience; despite my age, I still watch the occasional Recess episode, for example. I admittedly never got into Jimmy Neutron too much, but the show was usually enjoyable. If we're going for "similar" Nick shows, I was much more into The Fairly Oddparents. Same with Danny Phantom, older Spongebob, and Avatar: The Last Airbender. My best memories of high school were probably certain lunch days and days out of the norm, like the few field trips I went on or the one time some kid got in trouble for getting into a fistfight with another kid and then accidentally punched a teacher when he tried breaking up the fight. Full brawls weren't common where I went.
Wow, for me, I think the first forum I ever went to was a Jimmy Neutron fan forum.
Very cool, similarly I wasn't into Spongebob much, I was more into Jimmy Neutron and the Fairly Odd Parents at the time. Thing is, I wasn't into things most teenagers were into at the time. Outside watching WWE and playing video games, I just wasn't into the kind of things most peers my age were into when I was in high school. I wanted to watch cartoons and animated movies more than live action or reality TV. I did play some games that were teen orientated like Medal of Honor (back then, MOH was T for teen), and a few mature games like Quake III, Resident Evil, and House of the Dead. I did play a lot of cartoon tie-in games, character stuff like Sonic and Mario. I still enjoyed those things too.
Days when things were out of the norm were usually fun, like a trip or something that doesn't involve staying in the classroom all day.
@Sunsy Yeah, I can't blame you. I guess that's just the nature of most internet forums. Same thing with social media platforms nowadays. I don't think I'll ever go on another forum again, I'm perfectly happy with the one here on Nintendo Life. That's cool you liked it, the multiple endings is an interesting concept for sure. I just wish the controls weren't as slippery, and that the stages were more straightforward.
Same here, I do have a personal Instagram account, outside that I really don't use social media. I know YouTube is considered social media, but I watch more than actually comment on the site. This is really the only forum I visit regularly.
That's fine. Yeah, years ago, I was trying to get all 10 endings and see the true ending, and I succeeded at that. One of my accomplishments in Sonic games. I do find it funny I got all the emeralds for the first time on the GBA version of Sonic 1, since then I've only got them on handheld versions of Sonic lol (3DS, mobile, Switch). Made for an interesting accomplishment.

I heard you have some interest with Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir.
There will be a Miraculous game on multi consoles.
I personally not a fan of their heroes outfits as they looked better in normal looking folks.
Not a fan of polka dot pattern on heroes outfits.
PS2 machine is pretty cheap and they have way much better games library than Gamecube in my opinion.
I found tons of hidden gems from PS2 games, from DDR, other BEMANI games, Ratchet & Clank games, K-1, Monster Farm 4, Hotshot Tennis, Bomberman games, The Sims Bustin' Out, etc.
These are my recommendations for PS2 games, I'm sure you want to open to other games you have never played before, stepping a little bit from comfort zones. It seems you don't have interest with PlayStation games.
Oh, btw. Have you heard about Jojo Siwa on Nickelodeon ?
Well, there will be Jojo Siwa game on multi consoles by OG Games.
My first thought was what the heck was that.
Never heard about her before then suddenly there will be a new video game about her by OG Games.
Outright Games have announced a lot of kids games during this year including Bratz.
