Topic: The Chit-Chat Thread

@Eagly I’m going to try and get one and three physical, I want to own these games! So torna will probably come first in that case, tho I’m not sure, I probably do want to play torna first just to get the rest of the story.

Torna does have physical copy’s doesn’t it? I think I saw one on Amazon for a ok price but I’m not sure.

Pokemon jokes are fun

Hey, before I sign off for the night, which thread got locked?
Edit: It was the one about someone being attacked right?

@TeaCatherine some teen got his switch taken away and beat his teacher, there is video proof of him doing it. It's just another whatever story imo.

Indeed.

@Anti-Matter

Why did Pikachu cross the road?

@Eagly I thought you said (user) was a troll?

@TheBigBlue like this (with square brackets)

{del} I love Sony {/del}

I love Sony

Bodybuilder Pokemons are awesome.

I am so unbelievably tired and am glad this work week is done with. X.X

@Sunsy Outside of updates - which apps usually tend to execute on their own unless device settings prevent them from doing so - those online connections probably are just retrieving the latest ads that are paid to appear on the service lol. I do like Crazy Taxi, though I'm horrible at it.

@MarioLover92 The lack of a save system is indeed a fallacy of earlier games, though some tried to compensate by using a password system. I recall needing them for more than one Game Boy game, and I do believe a SNES game or two I played back in the day used them too. It's been so long since I've played the Super Mario All-Stars variants that I forgot they even had a save system lol.

To be honest, I don't think I would've beat the classic platforming Mega Man titles I have played (Mega Man 2, Mega Man: Dr. Wily's Revenge (free Club Nintendo reward, wouldn't have bothered otherwise), and Mega Man X) without some save state abuse. Especially 2; some parts of that game felt pretty cheap. The only reason I got it was because it was objectively the best "classic" game, and I admittedly wasn't impressed. Though some schools of thought hold MM3 in higher regard.

On Sunshine and Dragon Quest VII: Thanks! I'm still chipping away at them, but I haven't gamed too much this past week. Besides a pseudo-crazy schedule, I haven't always felt up to gaming when I do have time. I've been really tired.

@Eagly Welcome back!

@TheBigBlue I'll end the "clickbait" discussion (for me, you can continue) by saying. It exists and is a problem but we can choose to avoid it thankfully.

@Colonel_Mustache I own your money

@Colonel_Mustache I can’t blame you. Dr. Pepper is superior to every other soda.

@Colonel_Mustache I suggest we form the club as quick as we can, before the hordes of Coca-Cola and Pepsi lovers attack.

Bah, who am I kidding. Both don’t exist. Dr. Pepper forever!

Right, now it’s time for me to sleep. May your dreams be filled with Dr. Pepper.

New profile pic, and this time it's Mario drifting through Rainbow Road! I had yet another MK8D online session and I had to get a screenshot after that race, just 'cause it all looks cool. Pretty sweet driving, huh? lol

@Sunsy I actually briefly played Doom 2, since I got it from that classic Doom bundle on Steam. I do intend to play more of the Doom games... but right now, I'm kind of on a Mario Kart binge fest, lol!

Ah yeah, I think I remember trying to swim up the waterfall when I was young. My child self in the late 90s was quite the explorative little guy when it came to Super Mario 64. I loved playing Banjo-Kazooie as well, though I wouldn't own it until much later.

That's cool they had all that Marie merchandise. Ah yeah, same here... I used to have a Disney store in my local mall, but it's no longer around, unfortunately. It's been gone for the longest time, since the 90s or early 2000s, don't remember exactly when it closed down. The last time I've been to a Disney store was back in 2018 when I was on vacation. They had a lot of cool stuff there, and they'd have clips of various Disney songs showing on the TV in the background. One of the things I got there was a Belle plush.

@Tyranexx Yeah. Many games back in the NES era used passwords, and we actually had a player's guide that focused on NES, SNES, and Game Boy games that had passwords and stage select codes. Fun fact, that's how I first heard about the Mega Man series, where they'd have passwords for MM2, 3, and 4 on the NES. As for Super Mario All-Stars, yep - they do have a save feature for all four games. Four save files per game, and in the case of The Lost Levels, you can save your progress on any individual level, as opposed to the start of any given world.

Going back to the blue bomber, I actually do like the Mega Man games overall, the controls are tight and responsive for the most part, and I like using some of the special weapons you'd get from the robot masters. It feels great to figure out a boss's weakness, as well. Plus, the MM series has some truly awesome music. But yeah... sometimes they can be cheap with the enemy placements and stuff like that. Those pits in the beginning of Dust Man's level (from MM4) come to mind. Mega Man 3 is a pretty solid game, and it actually was the first MM game I've played! It introduced the slide to Mega Man's moveset, which lets you slide through tight corridors. Somewhat like the morph ball in the Metroid series, only you don't roll into a ball of course.

You're very welcome. And ah, I see... sometimes I'm too busy to have some gaming time in as well. Real life can indeed hit hard at times... almost like the racers you'd see in Mario Kart. lol

@Colonel_Mustache Thanks! And yeah, absolutely. I've been having quite a few profile pictures from my MK8D screenshots, and you're totally right... it's a great-looking game for sure!

@ChaoticMagolor @Colonel_Mustache hehehehehehehe.... I own you so you are really a part of the coca-cola army!!!

PEPSIMAAAAAN...!!!

@Colonel_Mustache
If you know about Pepsiman that means you have ever at least know it was a PlayStation game or have ever played the game. 😉
