@Tasuki I’m not trying to be rude but if you dislike the forums and articles then why are you here? I’m not telling you to leave but you seem to dislike the 2 reasons to be on the website

Guess just clinging to the past I guess. Part of me hopes that maybe they will go back to the standards they once held article wise and not go down the same road as places like IGN. As for the forums again part of me hopes that some of old users that use to be here will return, I know stupid hoping. There are a few topics that I still check on from time to time like the DnD thread.

Also retro gaming is a big part of my life, but it's hard to engage in a conversation when you bring up your latest NES or SNES cartridge you just bought and some GameCube Goober brings up in the retro thread oh I bought Super Mario Galaxy and then the retro thread goes off on a tangent about Wii games and PS3 games.

Or you bring up the warm fuzzy feelings of playing Super Mario Bros 3 the first time on Christmas morning sitting in front of the big console style TV on a shagg carpet and some goober replies oh I booted that up on my PC last week on my emulator and then the conversation goes off on a tangent on emulators. At that point I just want to say GTFO.

In the end maybe those users from 10 even 5 years ago will come back but honestly it just seems that NL doesn't want those people around anymore the way the forums have become. Maybe I am just stubborn that's all.

@Tasuki Yeah it wasn’t vary game related, but I understand why they did, but why so late, if they had made the article during Halloween it would have fitted much better. I wouldn’t even known what was zelda unless someone told me, at least I knew villager from just the hair and dress.

They did it in hopes of getting prepubescent boys to click on the site so they can jerk off to photos of Megan Fox as Zelda. Basically just doing it for the clicks.

@Eagly I will admit, Xbox does have some goofy naming concepts. I guess they just didn't want to seem like they were copying Sony by calling the second Xbox, Xbox 2 but Xbox 360 was odd. In case you were wondering the name Xbox 360 is because supposedly the second generation was going to make the gaming world do a 360 lol. As for Xbox One, we'll I told that reason already.

I kinda like the Series name they have adopted. It kinda reminds me of a PC which given MS background makes sense. It's also unique and they don't seem to be copying Sony by calling them Xbox 4 or 4.5. I also like the option of having a high end model the Series X and a low end Series S. I actually have both and once I get my house finished, I will have my Series X in my bedroom and the S in the living room, that way when one of the tvs is in use I can still game. I am also thinking of getting a another dock for my Switch for that same reason.

I can see that if it was a live action movie being made, but just posting it to post something.....

@ChameleonBros It's been fun playing with you and Fizza! My apologies for not remembering your NL username, lol. Those minigames from the N64 era are surprisingly tough!

@MarioLover92 @ChameleonBros That turntable one (I can't remember the name but I remember you were the one controlling it MarioLover) was absolutely brutal, I had no idea what I was meant to do even after the practice! One of my favourites was the crane game where the Wario CPU was trying to grab us, I have never mashed as hard in my entire life (AND IT WAS ALL FOR NOT UWAGH!).

I'm not sure I'll be able to do another round of Mario Party for a while between schoolwork and Pokemon piling up but rest assured I'll gladly be back again for another round (I'll even be the one to organise it, I enjoyed yesterday's session that much!).

@Tasuki wait doesn’t 360 mean a full rotation meaning the Xbox did nothing? The names really do suck

I think they meant that it was going to make the gaming world do a full circle and come back to what it was before hand, who knows. I just remember before Xbox One was revealed gamers were calling the next Xbox Xbox 720 I was thinking God I hope they don't call it that lol.

@Tasuki I will admit the forums have gone downhill a bit and the site in general (well kind of all gaming media) has taken a turn for the worse. I can't say if it will get better or not, hopefully it will, right now it seems gaming is going through a changing period. We have systems from all sorts of generations still clinging on for dear life and brand new systems with nothing of note to show. I think it will all even out once the older systems are phased out for the new ones, even then we'll probably still see some kind of support for them.

Now on the topic of this site.
Ya, some of the articles recently have been pretty "okay?" at best. Ya, the comments can be pretty bad. Ya, the forums have been getting pretty mixed and opinionated. Ya, some of the mods have been a little rude (pls don't kill me).

@NintendoByNature I have been wondering that myself. He just sorted of disappeared. This is what I was talking about the site pushing away older members.

@Eagly sounds about right. I'm friends with him on switch and haven't seen him on.
@Tasuki exactly. I've been on for only about 4 years but even the regulars from that time seemed to have checked out. I honestly do wonder if it's the articles or toxic behavior of some users. Or just done with the gaming phase of their life..
