Literally the last 5 times I make Ignis drive to a place to fill up gas. He always parks the car as far away from the gas pumps as possible... ****ing idiot.

I knew scorpions were, but eating spiders seems less appetizing. And, I guess horseshoe crabs are also closely related to scorpions so that makes sense.
I've had scorpion once, they are... interesting as I don't remember them having a taste, they're just crunchy due to the shell. Horseshoe crabs I get the impression you'd have to eat around the shell, so that would be different, but I won't pretend to be an expert on the subject.

I don't see why some people think Touch Screen isn't all that useful/is a gimmick. There's plenty of games that have shown how touchscreens can be a very integral part to their controls and not feel like it was shoehorned in.

Motion controls I'll agree that they're not as "important" to have since a lot of games that do use them are generally better off without them. Still, I don't think that's enough to outright remove them, just focus on them less unless something actually useful can be done with them.

*Notices the Fire Emblem Direct goes live at 4 PM CST tomorrow*

Well shoot. The presentation airs right when I need to go to my afternoon class. I might have something going right before it too. Seems like my chances of watching it live are pretty slim. If I do watch it live, I'll probably only watch the first 10 minutes of it. More likely I won't watch the Direct until after 6:45 PM.

I was looking forward to watching this Direct live, but oh well, at least I got to watch the Switch presentation live. I predict it will last for roughly 15 minutes. They'll probably discuss Fire Emblem Warriors and Fire Emblem mobile for most of the presentation, and if they were to reveal a new game, it will probably be at the very end with some brief details following the trailer.

Actually further research online

It seems people mostly just eat it's eggs

Imagine eating a bunch of spider eggs

Errrrm, not going to post it here, but I think some people love the switch a bit TOO much. I've found waifu porn of it.

I always found Touch controls to work better than Motion controls most of the time. Either that or most Motion controls felt shoehorned compared to some games where they are actually a focus. But compared to games with Motion controls, I can think of tons of DS/3DS games where the Touch Controls are handy and integral.

48 Tracks is only exciting if you've never touched Mario Kart 8 or it's DLC.

Otherwise, it's nothing new.

I think some people probably got introduced with the touch screen either through the Wii U where it wasn't really utilized that much or through some early DS game where it got used a little too much (Most notable example is probably the DS Zelda's) or by the fact that many IOS games use them and think its some casual gimmick.

However, touch controls have actually been very useful for a number of games (Such as Ace Attorney), if not, completely integral for their gameplay (Professor Layton). Some of those being highly popular or beloved franchises that Nintendo would probably not want to abandon.

Plus, can you imagine playing a game like Art Academy or Flipnote Studio with traditional controls? You're probably better off using a computer mouse instead.....

I doubt it. The priority at this point is probably MK9.

This GameFAQs post about Super Bomberman R made my day. :laugh:


Also LOL to that 33rd anniversary logo on the game's boxart.

At this point anniversaries things will become pointless as any game can have a random anniversary logo as well, like a new Star Fox game being released in the occasion of the 37th anniversary of the original.
For having no Bomberman games for SEVEN years prior to this, I'll happily take a 33rd anniversary at this point.

I have an idea for an video game and I just wish I had programming skills for it


It's mostly a Beat em Up where you play as a hero with electricity powers saving a crazy dystopian city where there's war between former heroes ala Civil War but it allowed a crime syndicate to rise into power and that hero has to stop those dueling factions and the crime syndicate

I mean, it makes sense to celebrate the 33rd anniversary since it releases on 3/3. :p

Reading Not Always Right in the Theme Park tag, and I recognized a really specific theme park location and was more interested in the fact that I actually remembered the bargain deal for free unlimited soft drinks there upon having my memory jogged than the anecdote.

I just saw another entry that didn't have a location marked, but it also had a free unlimited soft drink deal so I'm guessing it was the same place.

Come to think of it, it's kind of insane that they offer (or at least offered, no idea if it changed since my visit and the anecdotes I'm seeing) free soft drinks there. Not that they don't more than make up the money lost on it other ways.

Of course, apparently the issue is that visitors have no idea what "free" and "unlimited" mean. . .

*EDIT* Read the comments and yeah that's definitely the place. I remembered there being free sunscreen, too, and one of the comments recognized it and mentioned it.

Well since we didn't get a game 3 years ago, I'll take it.

You would have to set the destination to the Gas Stations for some areas.. I got tired of him parking in the wrong area For one of the Cities that I manually set the destination close to the gas station so i could Refuel the car without having him park in the parking spot and forcing me to take the wheel and drive there myself..

Maybe I'm just a ultra absolute delicious piece of junk, or the Battle Tree in Sun/Moon is simply ridiculous.
