Don't recall ever having heard of Kung Fu Tea. I figured the nearest location would be something like 3 states away, but there's actually 2 in my city, just in places that I don't often have reason to go. I will consider looking into this.
I was considering using a duplication glitch to finish off my armor upgrades, but hadn't yet (still working on other things). I was always more interested in exploration and puzzle solving than combat, so I need more monster parts. Also star fragments.
Guess I'll wait and see whether the previous one works or keep working on it until the next one is found.
Are Wortsworth's readings middle English? I thought they were more like early modern English, like Chaucer (kind of a transition between middle and modern).
It was a lot like what I remember of reading Chaucer, where you can get most of it if you read phonetically, and then figure out the more archaic vocabulary from context.
Admittedly, when playing I skipped over most of that because it's a skill that I'm not accustomed to using when playing a video game. Maybe I should try again.
I hope Prime 4 continues to have the option of controlling like Metroid Prime. I always hated dual stick controls (and I never cared for traditional FPS games anyway, so I never had reason to adapt).
I think the biggest reason for Chris Pratt getting such a deafening "meh" is that he doesn't have the Fun Personified characterization that we're accustomed to having (at least from what we've seen so far). If anything, he comes off as the Straight Man /Fish Out of Water archetype.
Disney has been remembering Gargoyles over the past few years, which makes me happy as well. Wonder if they'll time the game with the new/re-released comics they announced a month-ish ago.
Also, bring back the Disney Afternoon Collection. The fact that it skipped Nintendo consoles is just... wrong.
I hope they update the bad word list to allow normal words that coincidentally contain bad words. When playing Shining Pearl, I tried to name my rival Grape (in contrast to me being Orange, of course), but the bad words list wouldn't allow it. I ended up having to use Graype.
Once upon a time, Xbox marketing was all about being "mature" and uploaded a flash cartoon where they had shallow parodies of Mario characters, and then a robot shows up and called them pansies, or something like that. Glad to see they've grown up.

Re: Review: Pokémon Trading Card Game - A Cracking Adaptation That Still Holds Up
I did enjoy this game a lot back in the day, so I think I'll do it again when I have some free time.
Re: PSA: Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom News Channel Giving Out Free In-Game Items
Link's expression in that picture is a touch on the creepy side.
Re: Pokémon Sleep Open Beta Android Test Now Live In Select Regions
Interesting idea, but I've already got a CPAP.
Damn it, I shouldn't be feeling this old.

Re: Everybody 1-2-Switch! Player Icon Uploads Don't Appear To Block Explicit Photos Online
Isn't this why Perfect Dark didn't have the planned Game Boy Camera connectivity? That was over 20 years ago.

You mean Marioreos.
Re: Nintendo Infographic Showcases The Games Featured In June's Direct
Untitled Peach Game is going to look really good next to Untitled Goose Game.
Re: Batman Arkham Trilogy For Switch Only Includes One Title On The Game Cartridge
Disappointing, but not surprising.
Re: Feature: 20 Things You Might Have Missed In The Super Mario Bros. Wonder Reveal
That's not Chargin Chuck pushing against Daisy. It's some new variant of the something-bros family (hammer bro, sumo bro, etc).
Re: Nintendo's Upcoming Party Game Everybody 1-2-Switch! Showcases "100 Players At Once"
They named the horse Horace. Has Disney sued yet?
Re: Zelda: TOTK Players Discover Simple Way To Make Rupees With 'Frozen Meat Glitch'
The cold never bothered me anyway.
Re: Nintendo Expands Switch Online's Game Boy Color, SNES & NES Library With Four More Titles
I always wanted to try Kirby Tilt n Tumble and the original Harvest Moon.
The other two are "Sure, why not?"
Re: Random: Zelda: Breath Of The Wild's 'Whistle Sprint' Glitch Has Been Fixed In TOTK
"It's a shame, for sure, but we're not going to be losing any sleep over it. "
You'll be losing sleep from playing way into the wee hours.
Re: Round Up: The Reviews Are In For The Super Mario Bros. Movie, And They're All Over The Place
So the story and characterization aren't great. That's par for the course for Illumination.
Re: Poll: Which Character Would You Like To See Return Next In Mario Kart 8 Deluxe?
Ridley.
Because why not.
Re: Review: Metroid Prime Remastered - A Long-Awaited And Stunning Return Of A Legend
I hope Prime 4 continues to have the option of controlling like Metroid Prime. I always hated dual stick controls (and I never cared for traditional FPS games anyway, so I never had reason to adapt).
Re: Professor Layton And The New World Of Steam Is Bringing The Puzzle Franchise Back To Switch
As soon as I saw him, I reacted with a big "OH!"
My wife watched it later, and she did the exact same thing.
Re: Random: Did You Know That Pokémon's HM 'Cut' Could Be Used On Tall Grass?
Yeah, I knew this, although I hadn't thought about it in forever, and never really cared to use it.
Considering how many fans would be too young for Gen 3 and earlier, I guess it makes sense that lots of people wouldn't know.
...
Dammit, I'm too young to feel this old!
Re: Back Page: EVERYONE STAY CALM. Here's How To Game Safely On Friday 13th
I was born on Friday the 13th, so I'll play whatever games I feel like.
So far, just Pokemon Go.
Re: Random: New Pokémon Cards Tell A Wholesome Evolution Story
I showed that to my wife. It gave her a case of the d'aawwws.
Re: Review: Please, Touch The Artwork - And We Saw That It Was Good, Very Good
I have played the demo. Seemed like a nice, stressless puzzler.
Re: Random: G-Fuel Reveals Energy Formula Based On Conker's 'Great Mighty Poo'
Great Mighty Poo is a reasonably accurate description for the taste of energy drinks.
Re: Persona 3 Portable & Persona 4 Golden Arrive On Nintendo Switch January 2023
@Not_Soos Perhaps the title was fixed by the time you saw it? It originally said "Arrive on Switch Nintendo January 2023".
So now we've both ruined the joke.
Re: Persona 3 Portable & Persona 4 Golden Arrive On Switch Nintendo January 2023
[reads title]
It's cool that these are coming to Switch, but what's Nintendo January?
Re: Poll: So, What Do You Think Of Mario's Movie Voice?
I think the biggest reason for Chris Pratt getting such a deafening "meh" is that he doesn't have the Fun Personified characterization that we're accustomed to having (at least from what we've seen so far). If anything, he comes off as the Straight Man /Fish Out of Water archetype.
Re: You Can Now Purchase Shigeru Miyamoto's Pikmin T-Shirt
It's cool, but I have too many t-shirts already.
Re: The Minds Behind Danganronpa Reveal 'Master Detective Archives: Rain Code'
When he was looking in the mirror and crying out in horror, I thought he was reacting to his cowlick.
Re: Disney Is Remastering The Sega Genesis Platformer Gargoyles
They need to call this Gargoyles Reawakened.
Re: Round Up: Every Switch Announcement At The Disney & Marvel Games Showcase
Disney has been remembering Gargoyles over the past few years, which makes me happy as well. Wonder if they'll time the game with the new/re-released comics they announced a month-ish ago.

No soundtrack, therefore no damn for me to give.
Re: Nintendo Releases Update For Switch (Version 14.1.2), Here Are The Details
I hope they update the bad word list to allow normal words that coincidentally contain bad words. When playing Shining Pearl, I tried to name my rival Grape (in contrast to me being Orange, of course), but the bad words list wouldn't allow it. I ended up having to use Graype.
Re: Random: A Novelisation For Zelda: A Link To The Past Had A Very Different Name For Link
Does he get to play the flute/ocarina to defeat Paul's Voice?
Re: Bandai Namco Appears To Be Working On A "Remaster/Remake Of A 3D Action" Nintendo Game
Starfox Assault seems a reasonable guess, what with them developing the original.
Re: Video: Nintendo Switch Sports Gets A Brand New Overview Trailer, Out April 29th
I want the Resort Sword minigame where your pretending to be a samurai chopping down several other Mii pretend samurai in a row along a set path.
Re: Feature: 16 Theories About Link's Weird Arm In Zelda: Breath Of The Wild 2
The arm is necrotic. It's decomposition is why the nails are so pronounced (and why people (used to) think fingernails continue to grow after death).
Hope you weren't eating.
Re: Random: The Rock Will Star In A New Video Game Movie
It's going to be Clu Clu Land.
Re: Rabbids Invasion: Mission To Mars Comes To Netflix Next Month

Re: '90s Sonic The Hedgehog Cartoons Speeding Onto Blu-ray
"The unaired pilot, featuring Jim Cummings as Dr Robotnik (whose voice you may recognise as Tigger)"
Or who you may recognize as Dr. Robotnic in the other Sonic cartoon that was airing at the same time. (And a bajillion other things, of course.)
Re: Random: Xbox Celebrates The GameCube (And The Dreamcast!) On Their 20th Anniversary
Once upon a time, Xbox marketing was all about being "mature" and uploaded a flash cartoon where they had shallow parodies of Mario characters, and then a robot shows up and called them pansies, or something like that. Glad to see they've grown up.
Also, the Wii needs a quincenera.
Re: Ed Sheeran Teases Pokémon GO Collab
My response to this is the same as every other musician Pokemon collaborated with this year:
Never heard of 'em.
Re: Animal Crossing Happy Home Paradise DLC: Polishable Items - Every Polish Effect Full List

I was more concerned with the... uh... polishing... if you will.
