Re: Random: UK Retailer GAME Is Offering Store Credit For Your Socks (Seriously)

Xylnox

Maybe they want your sock presents because the store owner loves, I mean really loves socks. Maybe he has a sock fetish, like they like to rub their socks on the carpet to generate static. Holy cow, that's it! The store owner is trying to go Green because of climate change and he wants to hire employees that just rub their socks on the ground all day and generate electricity! What a wonderful idea!

Re: Feature: Game Of The Decade Staff Picks - Fire Emblem: Awakening

Xylnox

@Dm9982 Ya, I love playing games for their story or gameplay but I am going to have to stop buying so many games. I might just stick with the triple AAA games and some indies. You know with how many good games are coming out, I wonder if this would be considered the Golden Age for gaming. I dunno.

Re: Feature: Game Of The Decade Staff Picks - Fire Emblem: Awakening

Xylnox

I am not sure when this started to happen to me but I am finding out that I am collecting games instead of playing them. For the longest time, I've liked doing almost everything in a game before moving on to another game. I admit I am slow but now I think I am going to have to play games a lot faster because my backlog is so huge. It's either slow down or ask gaming companies to not come out with anything this year. :/

Re: Feature: No Anime Please, We're Westerners - When Anime Was Taboo In Western Games

Xylnox

Some of the anime covers are good and some I'd rather have as the western cover. It's like Dragon Quest. We all know that Dragon Quest is actually Dragonball Z but medieval era. The characters from Dragonball Z gathered all the Dragonballs and wished the world was more like fantasy and then poof, it was so. I could be mistaken but there's only a 98% chance that I am wrong.

Re: More Than 40% Of Switch Owners In The US Have Another Video Game System

Xylnox

Ha, ya right. Lies! I don't have anything else but Nintendo products. I would never betray Nintendo. Well, ok fine I um, have other systems but I don't play them! Honest! I only play Nintendo stuff! 100% Truth! Um, well fine I do play other systems but I am still loyal to Nintendo! Please don't come to my house and get rid of everything that is not Nintendo! Please! cries

Re: Talking Point: Witcher 3 Gave Switch Fans Fresh Hope For Multiplatform Releases In 2019

Xylnox

I went on vacation over Christmas and brought my Switch with me. Now, I already have the Witcher 3 for Computer and Xbox as well as Switch but because of my back log I never played but a couple of hours of the Witcher 3. Well, I decided to play the Witcher 3 on my Switch and stick with it while I was on vacation. I have to say that I enjoyed the game so far even if it didn't have the best graphics as the computer or xbox version. You can't beat playing a great game via portable vs being tied down to chair, in a single spot like Xbox or computer. I sure hope other great games get ported over.

Re: Japanese Charts: Pokémon Sword And Shield Still Dominate As Switch Takes Nine Of Top Ten

Nintendo Employee - Sir, we're on track for your 2020 predictions and even hit the mark by 230%.
Nintendo Emperor - Yes, yes. Soon, we will buy the whole world and have enough money left over to start building the Nintendo Death Star. Ha ha ha ha
Nintendo Employee - Oh wait, I did the math wrong. Our predictions only hit 229%. Please forgive me!
Nintendo Emperor - You have failed me for the last time. Chokes Nintendo Employee for several minutes for fun.
Nintendo Emperor - Now go make preparations to buy all of Playstation's and Xbox's employees and have them start on the construction of the Nintendo Death Star.
Nintendo Employee - Yes, my Emperor!
Meanwhile, Nintendo bought all of Playstation's and Xbox's employees and told them to start construction on the Nintendo Death Star
Former Playstation Employee - How do we build a Nintendo Death Star? We have no blueprints.
Former Xbox Employee - I don't know. Go ask the Emperor for guidance.
Former Playstation Employee - Ya, and then I will get choked for a couple minutes for fun. No, thanks. Let's go ask George Lucas, as he had a Death Star in the Star Wars movies.
Former Xbox Employee - Oh, that's a great idea!
Former Playstation and Xbox employee drive a couple miles away and arrive at George Lucas's house.
Former Playstation Employee - George Lucas, the Nintendo Emperor requires your assistance. We need the plans for a Death Star.
George Lucas - Oh, we had a Death Star prop built for the movies. We left it near the other side of the moon, as it's really big.
Former Xbox Employee - Can we have it sir?
George Lucas - Sure, but it's just a shell and made out of cardboard.
Former Playstation Employee - Uh, the Nintendo Emperor didn't say anything about specifics. So, I guess this will do.
George Lucas - Great, you can have it as it's just collecting space dust out there.
Next, Former Playstation and Xbox Employee booked a flight to the other side of the moon. They disembark the shuttle, while in space suits, and drift over to the Death Star prop.
Former Playstation Employee - Hey, it says Death Star on it. We need to put the Nintendo name in front of that.
Former Xbox Employee - Good thing I brought my trusty crayons with me and then writes Nintendo in front of the Death Star name.
Former Xbox Employee - Ok, done. Now, how do we get this huge thing to be next to Earth and not the Moon.
Former Playstation Employee - I don't know. Try kicking it.
Former Xbox Employee - Why, that's a great idea and then kicks the Nintendo Death Star.
Former Playstation Employee - Wow, it's really chugging along. Oh crap, how do we stop it?!
Former Xbox Employee - Uhhh, I'm not sure because our space suits don't have any thrusters or whatnot.
Former Playstation Employee - OMG! What are we going to do?
Former Playstation and Xbox Employee watch as the cardboard Nintendo Death Star is on an intercept course for Earth. While this is happening, both of them are screaming like little girls and then watch as the Nintendo Death Star slams into Earth. (Now, we all know that cardboard has a nuclear reaction when hitting soil or dirt.) So, the cardboard Nintendo Death Star hits the Earth's ground and Earth explodes with a big explosion.
Former Playstation Employee can only gasp in shock.
Former Xbox Employee - Oops.
Former Playstation Employee - You don't think the Nintendo Emperor is still alive do you?
Former Xbox Employee - Um, maybe if he had a clone on the Moon, then I would say yes but I think we should go far away from here.
Former Playstation Employee - I agree, let's go to Mars and colonize it.
Former Xbox Employee - Sounds good to me. Let's go.
Former Playstation and Xbox Employee became friends and started drifting to Mars, while holding hands.
What a happy ending. Sorry for this being so long.

Re: Sniper Elite Spin-Off Zombie Army Trilogy Fires Onto Switch Next Year

Xylnox

Player - You zombies are going to eat my bullets. Die inferior beings!
Zombie - How rude! Just because I walk slow and look like someone beat me with a sledgehammer doesn't mean you can talk to me like that!
Player - Uhhh, what the hell?! I thought Zombies just groaned and mumbled.
Zombie - We only do that after we wake up for a bit. Mornings are a drag.
Player - Holy sniper bullets! I am so sorry for killing your kind. I think my kill count so far is like 18,023. From this point on, I will promise not to kill you guys anymore.
Zombie - Yes, that is good. Let's be friends.
Player - Ok!
And the Player and Zombie rode off into the sunset together.

Re: US Importer Arrested For Manufacturing Counterfeit Mario And Pokémon Toys

Xylnox

The police arrested a man today who was selling counterfeit Mario and Pokemon merchandise. A customer had called the police after buying a toy and noticed it was made in China. As we all know that all toys come from Japan, the customer realized this was a replica and not an authentic toy. Police made a statement earlier stating that making and/or selling counterfeit items is big no no and the penalty is automatic death penalty. Police also mentioned that the man made a boo-boo in trying to tell the police he didn't know the toys were made in china as he doesn't know how to read. In any case, this will serve as an example to others.

Re: Former Nintendo Of America President Reggie Says The Future Of Games Is In The Cloud

Xylnox

I believe the future of gaming is digital and cloud, which includes VR. There will be streaming subscriptions that you will pay on top of buying access to play a game. Might be cheaper to stream it vs like buying digital via xbox, switch etc and installing it. I don't see how streaming will be the only thing available, especially, how people like playing games on vacation, riding the train etc. Like phones for example, I wonder if cell towers could keep up with streaming with a ton of people streaming games. Via wireless, there would be input lag for sure for phones. There's no buffering with real-time in games because it's like live. Also, my biggest pet peeve with digital and streaming is if that company goes bankrupt or shuts down, then all that stuff you bought is gone.

Re: Review: Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition - An Unforgivably Sloppy Port Of A Genre Classic

Xylnox

@Crono1973 @Tendogamerxxx I didn't know the game was like this because my backlog is huge and I preordered the game as I wanted to support them. I re-read my original post and I did say I bought this game anyway but I meant anyway as in preordered the game. So, I apologize and I agree with what you say and also I do not agree with companies coming out with products like this. What you say is true, that some companies will do this and it should not be acceptable. I mean, would you buy like a box of dinner plates only to find out that they're missing some or some were broken? No, we as gamers should fight back and tell them this is unacceptable.

Re: Review: Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition - An Unforgivably Sloppy Port Of A Genre Classic

Xylnox

@Crono1973 Ah, so you're one of those types of people that assume things. I on the other hand bought Baldurs Gate 1 & 2, Neverwinter Nights 1 & 2 and Icewind Dale 1 & 2 when they first came out, so long ago. Beamdog has taken some of these games and enhanced and fixed a lot of the problems with the originals for PC. So you're damn right I am going to support this company. I would only support a handful of companies like this anyway and I own about 3 copies of each of those games across different platforms. Let me also clarify one thing, I support Beamdog who owns the rights to most of these games but Beamdog had Skybound port this game to switch. I do not accept all the problems and I do want them fixed but I buy the game anyway as it supports Beamdog. So, now you have all the facts and can see that I partially am on the same side as you but I am supporting Beamdog by buying this game.

Re: Hundreds Of Fake NES Mini Consoles Seized By Anti-Counterfeiting Taskforce In The US

Xylnox

Ha, I wonder if some people got this, got home and plugged it in, then saw the system came with a crap ton of games. That person probably pooped themselves right then and there and then did a little dance for excitement. Then the Nintendo police would come knocking on their door, which the person pooped themselves again in fear and then they had to give the console to the Nintendo police.

Re: Puzzle & Dragons GOLD Hits North American Switch Consoles Early Next Year

Xylnox

Oh cool. I'll have to get this game when it comes out.

P.S. There's a strange good feeling telling the whole world that I am getting this. Maybe it's because most people are wondering if Xylnox is getting this game or not. Or maybe people weren't sure on buying this game till I said I was too. This is one of those unsolved mysteries of the universe. Or maybe normal people like to tell other people what they're doing. I just don't know.

Re: Nintendo's Taking Ring Fit Adventure On A Tour Of The US

Xylnox

I'm an American and this is a good idea. I think you should go to a whole lot of cities because I think America is getting fat. We need more exercise than all that sugar and fast food people eat. Please help America Ring Fit. Please bring back the golden age.

P.S. I will be honest that my fit bit is lost somewhere on my desk and that I bought Ring Fit Adventure but haven't used it because of my back log. Companies have got to stop making so many damn games that I need to buy. Anyway, I can't think of anything funny to say right now, so um think of this post like one big filibuster.
