Topic: The Chit-Chat Thread

Finally finished Dragon Quest VII yesterday morning. I've posted more detailed thoughts in the Games You Recently Beat? thread, but overall the game was a fun ride. However, it has certainly earned the title of one of the longest single player games out there. XD

@ogo79 Well, if I were going for that, I would've used this:

@MarioLover92 Congrats on finishing The Minish Cap! Ironically, I briefly tried out my old Minish Cap cartridge a little while ago just to see if it still worked. Despite buying it used, it surprisingly still has some life left. Shame my old GBA SP's right shoulder button is shot, so I couldn't run the game through all its paces. Yep, Vaati can be pretty frustrating, though the game is far from the first one to use multiple phases for the final boss. CoughAlmostAnyDQGameCough The only part of the fight I genuinely recall getting stuck on was not realizing I had to use Ezlo's power at one point.

On Frozen: Olaf - I've been impaled! Love that little guy. It'll certainly be fun to see what direction Disney takes the franchise next.

@Colonel_Mustache SteamWorld Dig 2 is, to date, my favorite SteamWorld game. I first played it on the Switch. This revisit will be the Steam version since I picked it up when it was (briefly) free a little while back. The older Pokemon revisits have been sparked by a sudden drive I have for Pokemon preservation. Especially now that the 3DS and Wii U eShops are closed down and Pokemon Bank is free. I'll eventually move them forward into Pokemon Home once I decide to finally sub to it...but not too soon.

@Sunsy Super Mario Galaxy 2 is also an amazing game, though I suspect it would've been DLC for SMG1 if released today. I ever so slightly prefer the first game since it introduces Rosalina and has something resembling a plot (which is a high compliment for a main series Mario title).

The closer theater is only about 5-7 minutes for me depending on traffic. I too have more fond memories of a single house theater not far from where I grew up that was refurbished and made operational; it still runs movies IIRC. The closest town with my local theater also used to have a one-house theater and did a few kid-oriented screenings when I was a kid too. However, in that case, the '08 recession coupled with some ownership troubles means it currently sits empty and sad.

In before:
“comment removed promoting piracy”

so thats what chicago looks like

I feel bad for my sister. She has to try to get a few half decent photos of me for senior pictures. ( I literally can’t smile on purpose.)

@Snatcher @jump I gotta get better at leaving things in the past. I tend to handle emotions differently than other people.

If I ever talk about the ban again, tell me to shut up, please.

@Kraid Sounds like you've figured it out.

Forgive my initial bias toward one console per person.😉 For five years in here, there's been a steady steam of people joining here because they just bought two consoles for their kids/family and they discovered they can't play a shared digital game on two consoles at the same time. They didn't know how to set up a Switch User & Nintendo Account, and link them. And they are typically disappointment when they learn they'd have to buy a second copy of some games, create a second nintendo account, or for some games they need to buy a family plan for NSO.

Anyway, sounds like you're up to speed. Nice work!

@WaffleBoat I’m not that stupid, I’m also quite fast

I can’t afford it, but when I can I am getting a German Shepard.

@Colonel_Mustache unfortunately, when the user profile says it is from Bangladesh, 99% of the time it’s a spambot.

I’m not sure why. But it’s like a dead giveaway.

So I just saw that "Barney" is getting rebooted as a CGI animated series. And upon looking at his design, I said the following:

"Okay, look. I don't mean to sound rude or disrespectful, as Barney has taught me to be a good person... but... DEAR GOD WHAT HAPPENED TO HIS FACE?!"

@JadeKitsune Barney‘s design never looked good, people have been clowning on it for way over a decade now. His first design in his first show looked like he was taking sleeping pills because of how his eyes were always half shut, and a bunch of other much more hurtful terms. His new design looks like Barney as a child before he took sleeping pills and now his eyes are finally open all the way after so long. Where did it all go so wrong for barney

Good morning.
I got some games yesterday.

My other game order Megaman Battle Network Legacy Collection Switch will probably arrived today or tomorrow.

@Anti-Matter I’ve never played Yoshi’s Crafted World, I’ve been told repeatedly it’s just for little kids. Let me know if it’s a good game, ok? Might buy it. I also remember the years in the mid to late 2000s where Hanna Montana was such a huge deal, Justin Bieber too. What a weird time in human history

@TheBigBlue
I'm 38 years old dude and only play kids games (with a few of Teen games).
Yoshi Crafted World was pretty similar as Woolly World but with different materials.
Never too old to play kids games even you are already adult.

@TheBigBlue you don’t think it’s weird now ?

@Colonel_Mustache I'm doin fine... WHAT THE HECK!!!

@Sunsy Oh that's cool, that's understandable. Just in case you decide to go to another place or two before or after the movie. Yeah previews are good for getting a peek at what other movies may interest you, and they're a thing on VHS tapes and DVDs, as well.

I think I had that issue with Mickey Mouse on the cover too. I remember reading about the GBA version of Magical Quest, that Mickey game that was for the SNES back in the day. I think the GBA version had Minnie as a playable character. (I should still play Castle of Illusion sometime... been meaning to try it out.) That's cool, better late than never. I got Sonic Rush a couple years late myself.

@Owl1 Ah really? I don't think I can handle roller coasters without loops... let alone with them, lol. I've been on a roller coaster when I was 7 years old, and I didn't take it too well. I can go on some amusement park rides as long as they're not too high, and I'd still have fun on them.

@Tyranexx Thanks! Glad I got to finish the game, it's a solid Zelda game overall, even though a couple bosses kind of tested my patience. My bro had that game back then, but I wouldn't try it until it came out on the 3DS ambassador program. I finished it for the first time on NSO since I have the expansion pack.

Ah yeah I like that part as well, lol. Good old Olaf. I do like Anna as well, she can be quite funny too.

@MarioLover92 for a first-timer I'm kinda surprised I didn't barf.

@Owl1
Barney new design looks better than the old one in my opinion.

@Owl1 Yeah, I just didn't like how fast it went, either. Guess I didn't expect it to be fast at the time. It was a pretty old coaster as well IIRC, it was made of wood.
