NVC 597 with industry legends Peer Schneider and Kat Bailey plus Jon Cartwright and Krysta and Kit interview? Wow, that seems pretty packed + interesting. ๐Ÿ™‚

Donโ€™t know what the deal is with that last headache, but Iโ€™ll keep note of it in case it happens like that again

I did have a pretty good nights rest
 
My horrible horrendous secret

I have never played Dead Soulsโ€ฆ

I always wanted to! I own it on PS3. Maybe on Halloween Iโ€™ll break the PS3 out, pray it still works (my launch Xbox one doesnโ€™t anymore so letโ€™s hope) and play some spoooooky Yakuza
Damn. That is a horrible secret :O

Well I haven't heard amazing things about it but, well, I figured I might as well. It'll only appreciate in value most likely, and I'll definitely be able to sell it for above ยฃ42 if I don't like it :)

has anyone ever told you that you have two copies of 2012 in the year 2022?

Iโ€™m sorry youโ€™re getting thrashed by headaches. Used to happen to me constantly. Still happens, but the frequency has mellowed out. Absolutely crushing and disorienting headaches that meds didnโ€™t tamp down enough. Ones that would make shit just impossible to do.

fun fact thatโ€™s why I even ended up getting CAT scans and MRIs as a kid, which is how they found my fun little timebomb brain cyst! (determined to โ€œprobably notโ€ be the cause of the headaches, so itโ€™s still a mystery)

I will say the doctors a couple of years ago did tests and ruled out all the bad, life threatening stuff at least

I want Nintendo to publish a Star Wars game developed by Platinum starring Ahsoka.

Just putting that out into the ether.

Part of me would like Nintendo to keep pushing for the odd licensed game in collaboration with external studios. It'd be really interesting to see what they could come up with.

Very different circumstances today, but there were a string of good to great Star Wars games on Nintendo 64 and GC, multi-format and exclusive. Odds of more are slim so long as EA are the primary partner for Star Wars, but more Marvel stuff could happen.

Nice collection, I see Lupin the 3rd: The First, great movie I may rewatch soon. I'll always prefer 2d animation, but the studio nailed translating Lupin into 3d. I'm gonna try to get a pic of part of my collection later when I get home.

Didnโ€™t the EA deal end? I know Ubisoft and Massive are making a Star Wars game.
 
I've liked several licensed games over the years but I hate how 99% of them have just been lost to the ether, never to return, because of rights shenanigans. Bizarre Creations made games for over 20 decades and like half of their games, most notably all the PGR entries, Metropolis Street Racing and Blur will most likely never be rereleased again because they'd have to pen a new deal for the car licenses.

It may well have done, I haven't kept up with it. Would be fun to see what Nintendo and another studio could do with the license these days.

I thought about Star Wars: Rogue Squadron II the other day. Great game. My favorite launch game for the gamecube. I remember some of the "What was your first "this is next gen" moment in your life?" threads on era, and my answer was always Rogue Squadron II. The fact that the character models had spaces between their fingers just blew my mind.
 
For anyone interested: this video shows how the skydiving mechanic will work in Botw2 according to the patents. It has some cool animations to better understand the concept ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป



Damn this is getting me more and more excited for the game

Man... did anyone else read Animorphs

My SO brought something up (broccoli) that unlocked a whole-ass Animorphs memory and I was just thinking about how wild that series was
You know, always saw them at the Scholastic book fairs, never actually read them, but K.J. Applegate has every single one of those books available to read on her website for free, and one day I want to go through them all
 
but also did I finally go too far for Raccoon? who knowsโ€ฆ

They do have a right to protest, just like I have the right to call them out for the idiocy of there protest. And you are correct that even though they can protest (And they're finally protesting at the correct location), they cannot (And should not) obstruct traffic, harass or assault passerbyes as they've already have done.

Freedom of assembly, but not freedom to bypass consequences for your actions.

Its gonna be nice once Covid ends and we can finally move on from this :(
 
I have become a user ignorer

I don't like what that says about me but I am happier
I knew I was going to have it happen eventually. My posts were just too much rubbish for the trash panda. I thought I was providing paradise, a veritable promised land, but instead went so far as to require a garbage incinerator.

May you find more palatable trashposts from henceforth.

Absolutely. If you are being part of the counter protest, please stay safe and have an emergency contact number in case things go sideways.

you piss me off all the time but you can't ignore people just because they're smarter than you
 
Thinking earlier about how GC emulation might work in the future, and, given how much Sunshine's visual presentation is improved by being 16:9 (among other things), I'm hoping that makes it into GC games more broadly.

The 4:3 approach being taken across the board so far doesn't give me ground for optimism, but, on more powerful hardware, I'd hope we see emulation improve on some basic fronts.

Even if the HUD wasn't scaled and kept to it's 4:3 area, Pikmin would still look gorgeous and benefit immensely from 16:9 presentation even if the texture resolutions remain unchanged
 
tfw we've been waiting for a new console Pikmin longer than GTA, only got one (1) re-release in the same time frame, and only one of these franchises has a confirmed sequel in production

Having the possibility to ignore people on the internet is a gift that is not talked about enough, it really is saving my mental health!
 
I am cautiously optimistic about Puzzle Quest 3. I pre-registered for the mobile version that drops next month. It's going to be free to play, but I got a lot of mileage out of Gems of War.

You can tell I have a few dozen hours playing Smash Bros because I am procrastinating in taking a shower today. Granted I am not intending to go out. It's cold and windy. I might just have a Pokemon day where I play Legends and then maybe put on a shitty Pokemon movie in the background while I cook dinner and shitpost.

Gonna start an interesting project and try to run for our parliament next year. It's nice to live in a countrty where it is
a) possible
b) not personally bankrupting
c) multiparty

Still I think it might actually affect my gaming if I have to meet with people instead of playing Mario Kart with them.

Animorphs was my shit! I owned like 90% of all the books, such an underappreciated series. I truly believe if Netflix or someone took a crack at an animated series adaptation it would blow up today. Way ahead of its time.
 
Yeah I don't tend to ignore people even if I 'hate' them. Idk. It's just never been in my nature to want to 'dictate' what I see online like that (unless it's very clear spoilers or something). I do ignore threads, though - sometimes cause I know there'll just be stress for me, and sometimes because they just have no relevance to me at all. It's easier cause a thread isn't exactly gonna be 'varied' in the way an actual poster will.
 
Yeah, but it's important to keep in mind too that EA did just last week announced three more Star Wars games from them. Fallen Order 2 (which is reportedly almost finished) and two other Respawn games. The new contract is non-exclusive but it doesn't cut EA out completely. Because Fallen Order's success saved their asses.

Also unfortunately most of the newer partners for Star Wars that Disney/Lucasfilm Games have picked out aren't the most Nintendo friendly either. Massive being one of Ubi's most expensive, next-genny studios, Quantic Dream being...Quantic Dream. Aspyr has done a lot on Switch of course but they'd need new hardware for KOTOR Remake to run on.

...Sorry about that. This story is one of the things I've most recently substantially covered as a reporter, so it's on my mind.

I don't think anyone ever expected EA to stop making Star Wars games after Jedi Fallen Order crushed it, true. While you're right that none of those studios have anything much to do with Nintendo it is nice to imagine. I mean, Marvel has had talks with Suda 51 so Lucasfilm working out something with Nintendo and someone like Platinum, Ninja Theory, etc while unlikely isn't impossible.

Again, just nice to dream.

Your campaign's platform can be that all parliamentary disputes are settled in Smash.
