Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (December 3rd)

A bit late on this one, but for good reason. I've had the problem of "too many games I want to play and beat," but also if I don't focus on one thing at a time, my attention tends to stray, so I've come up with a system: three frontlogs for first-time playthroughs, three backlogs for replays, a multilog for games I'm playing co-op, and an emerlog (emergency log) for newly released games that I have to binge to avoid spoilers (which luckily isn't often). For now, my frontlogs are taken up by RPG Time: The Legend of Wright (which I still have yet to make progress on) and Pokémon X. The third one is empty, but I think it shall soon be filled by Mario & Luigi: Dream Team. The Backlogs consist of Cat Quest, Rayman Legends: Definitive Edition, and Captain Toad. I was thinking Paper Mario: The Origami King, but then Rayman would be the only non-RPG out of all six single-player logs, which I find ridiculous for someone who used to hate RPGs. As for the multilog, I'm playing It Takes Two with my mom after I got the game for Black Friday (it has been really fun so far). Also, no game in the emerlog (at least until February). So to recap, this is how the logs look so far:
frontlog 1: Rpg Time
frontlog 2: pokemon x
frontlog 3: empty
backlog 1: cat quest
backlog 2: rayman ledgends
backlog 3: captian toad treasure tracker
multilog: It Takes Two
emerlog: empty

Also I just realized a great name for it would be "the tree". I'm calling it that from now on!

Finally finished Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam Friday night. as for what I'll play this week, Pokemon Scarlet and Violet came out, so I'm on Pokemon fever, but instead of getting the new games, I'll hold out for a sale and play Pokemon X instead! I usually just play one game at a time, but I've been meaning to get to RPG Time: The Legend of Wright forever now, so I'll play that simultaneously. I also got It Takes Two as my Black Friday game, and I'll be playing that one with my dad.

Re: Pokémon Scarlet & Violet: Best Starter Pokémon

Kirbyo

If I ever get either of the games, I'm going with Sprigatito regardless, so my first storyline should be the Path of Legends!
But then again, I'll probably be doing all three stories simutaneously, so that doesn't really matter... ah well!

Re: Feature: The Top 15 Legend Of Zelda Dungeons Of All Time, Ranked

The Face Temple from Link's Awakening is my pick. Yes, I think I had to look something up (which I try not to do nowadays), but that music, combined with the looks and the fact that (I think) it's the first dungeon you do after the big plot twist, it's just magnificent. Eagle Tower from the same game gets a special shoutout because of Anti-Kirby.

Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Punch-Out!!

Kirbyo

I like the gold edition simply because it feels like it captures what Punch Out is, presenting a character in its actual art style rather than just showing the final boss punching someone to smithereens.

Re: Random: Metroid Prime Software Code Was Used To Render In-Game Effect

Kirbyo

At first I was like, "of course you'd use the game code to render the in-game effects, that's just common sense!" Then I read the article. They didn't use the game code to render in-game effects. They rendered the game code as an in-game effect. That's the coolest thing I've ever seen! I'm definitely becoming a programmer now!

Re: Over 100 Million People Played Switch In The Last Year

Kirbyo

So I think that while the number of 106 million isn't completely accurate, I don't think the actual number is that much higher. Yes, multiple people may play on one account, but one person may play on multiple accounts. Two people might play a co-op game on one account, but at the same time, one person might play on two separate accounts, one for regular play and one for speedrunning. The two cases cancel out, and the recorded number of people is accurate. Not a complaint, just something i noticed. 106 million is still quite impressive though, no matter how off it is!
