Oh wow. SomecallmeJohnny tried playing MN9. Avast stopped him because it identified the game as a threatening virus. What the **** is going on with the game?

Completely normal.

It's the first boss of the game. It ain't too difficult though.

No one dare spoil Finding Dory in this thread. Or I'll find you.

Glitched shaders and potentially malicious scripts. Jeez.

Inb4 we see Inafune or Comcept filing for bankruptcy.

This is normal? O.O

 

[ChikoLad]

This is normal? O.O

I was just making the same joke Johnny did.

In all seriousness, it's likely just a false positive, and I think it's only Avast that flags it. The game did a lot of things wrong but this isn't really one of them.

 

[FalKoopa]

What if...

Avast also pledged some money on MN9 and they felt so betrayed that they flagged it as a virus?

That's what my wife told me 9 months ago

I mean, it technically is a virus, something with no soul that steals your money with nothing in return

My date might have killed a person.

Spoiler: My date's story

My date said that once she was nearly ***** when at the park by a homeless man. She had a knife on her and stabbed him in the abdomen, threw him off and ran away.

She said she had no idea what happened to the guy. The experience led to her collecting knifes due to them saving her. If she's telling the truth I can't hold it against her. Self defense and all that. Still uh... Wow.

She also stated that she was molested once. Twas in Vegas and it never bothered her that much.

She also attempted to pay for the entire bill and brought candy and a drink as a gift before the movie.

She said she had a bad family life and moved away from home, even forgoing a full scholarship to leave San Diego because she couldn't stand the people who lived there.

All of this on the first date. Still ended up being fun due to talking about fun stuff as well though.

We have similar interests and she overall, nice, clever and funny. It's clear that she's attracted to me so I feel she won't play pointless games either. She gave me a peck on the cheek at the end and I returned the favor on her cheek after which she said she liked. Also played a bit of footsie at Sherri's.

There were some red flags. What do you guys think?


That all said, Finding Dory was incredible. I'm super glad that they did one thing with her parents. I thought they were gonna do the easy thing, but they didn't and it made the film ten times better.

She sounds like a totally interesting person and you should see her again. If she's had her downs in life you have to be prepared to be there and help her through a lot of bad times, even if she has found peace that kind of stuff might always rear it's head.

So is Inafune gaming's own George Lucas?

 

[Starlight_Lily]

Some thoughts on Breath of the Wild's possible timeline placement...

Spoiler: lots of text and jabbering

Some important clues that suggest a post-OoT placement:
-Temple of Time's ruins
-Ganon's Presence
-Koroks
-Master Sword's decay
-Great Bridge of Hylia

Temple of Time's Ruins
-I think this rules out a sequel to Twilight Princess, as the Temple of Time has long fargone being ruined and has completely been overwhelmed by vegetation within the Sacred Grove...The Sword remains within the pedestal of the Temple of Time while it is absent in Breath of the Wild...Also the Great Bridge of Hylia appears to be in better shape than it is in TP...

Ganon's Presence
-This just reinforces a post-OoT placement as Ganon had not appeared until OoT, in either Timeline Ganon could easily be revived as he always does...

Koroks
-One of the most interesting as it immediately suggests a placement in the Adult Timeline...however the fate of the Kokiri in the other timelines are still unknown...Some theories link the Kokiri to the monkeys in TP and a few Kokiri like characters found in ALttP but none are confirmed...It could be possible that the Koroks may exist in either timeline since it may be a result of any threat to the forest rather than just the flood, I'm not ruling them out completely I'm merely speaking on open possibilities...I am ruling out a prequel to Wind Waker since this was the era without a hero, Hyrule was flooded as a result of no hero to oppose Ganon on his return...This would be Ganon's return but clearly we have a hero that will more than likely oppose Ganon...a sequel to Wind Waker or even further Phantom Hourglass is a possibility as the Koroks may have succeeded in their mission to regrow the lands and recede the oceans that covered Hyrule...

The Master Sword
-As we can see the Master Sword is in a state of decay as it's rusted and has tattered edges...this indicates that this game likely takes place very far in the future...at the very least 100 years after another game (as that is how long Link sleeps in this game)
Some other things about the Master Sword is it's location, it's not in the Temple of Time, nor is it found in a Ganon shaped rock formation atop of Ganon's Tower...But in the trailer we see it in a sort of grove, we know it's not the one from Twilight Princess since that Grove is what remains of the Temple of Time, but it could be the same one that is found in ALttP and later in ALBW...it was not used in Zelda I and II so it's decay is likely if BotW takes place after Zelda II...

----

Some other points we don't have enough information on/may not mean anything:
-Wolf Link
-the Old Man
-Sheikah Technology

Wolf Link
-could very well be a strong suggestion to Twilight Princess although it's possible it may be non-canon since an outside source allows wolf Link to appear in game...this is something to take with a grain of salt because it could be nothing more than just a fun little cameo...

Old Man
-could literally be anybody, many suggest he's King Daphnes Nohansen Hyrule himself, perhaps he could be a decendant of Rauru or Gaepora...or perhaps he's literally...just some old man...he's mysterious no doubt...

Sheikah Tech
-Definitely really interesting...the technology we see with the Sheikah Slate, within the various Shrines and the Towers have a very strong resemblance to that of the Tower of the Gods from Wind Waker...one thing to note...the origin of the Tower of the Gods in unknown whether or not it was built before or after OoT, I'm liable to say before as the Temple of Time as it appears in Twilight Princess has a very strong resemblance to the Tower of the Gods as well...not to mention Link travels back in time to get to the Temple of Time before it is in ruin...The Tower of the Gods/Temple of Time was likely built before OoT which could place it in either timeline...
The Tech also strongly resembles that of the Twili as we see when we enter the Palace of Twilight...however this only strengthens the connections between the sheikah and the twili as it shows they likely had the same origin which occured before the Interloper War...

----

Final thoughts/conclusion:
-With everything in mind...it's a little hard to give an exact placement, at least with the information we have...It's unlikely to have a Child Timeline placement despite the Great Bridge of Hylia only making an appearance in TP...Although it may sneak in between OoT and TP, since both the Temple of Time and the Great Bridge of Hylia appear in much better shape than they do in TP, but there isn't too much more evidence suggesting this...However the placement of the Master Sword is wrong...and I think the events of Hyrule within the Child Timeline state that after OoT there was the Hylian-Gerudo war which then had an era of peace until the Twilight Invasion...and assuming Calamity Ganon is the same as Ganondorf (he may or may not be, Ganon has reincarnated at least once so far as we see in Four Swords Adventures) there's nothing to suggest that he escaped the twilight Realm before the events of Twilight Princess...

-The Adult timeline after the events of Wind Waker seems a logical choice given the presence of the Koroks, however once again the Master Sword is located in the wrong place it seems...as well as my initial thoughts suggesting the Korok 'may' exist in other timelines as a possibility...same is true for the Tower of the Gods, but another thing to consider is the technology we see could simply have originated from the same source (the Sheikah) rather than come from the Tower itself...

-The Downfall Timeline seems the most likely to me simply because of the Master Sword...it wasn't used in Zelda I and II which gives it lots of time to get in rough shape that we see, plus it appears to be located within the same grove that's found in ALttP and ALBW...This Link bears some resemblances to other Links within this timeline and may be on of those heroes resurrected...there's also a lot of references to games in the downfall Timeline; the fake Master Sword, Twin Peaks, Zelda waking up Link through telepathy to start his journey, the grove that the Master Sword is located in...

-Convergent Timeline, now we're getting into weird territory since this is a huge stretch, but with so many inconsistencies within all three possibilities this may not be as farfetch'd as one might suggest...cross dimensional events have occurred many times in the Zelda series as well as the use of time travel and manipulation which could very well mess things up if enough strange stuff happens...It would also allow for the developers to go ham with adding stuff in since there wouldn't really need to be much explanation as to why the 'Koroks exist with Wolf Link running around' other than 'Convergence!'

So in short...
1-End of the Downfall Timeline (After Zelda II)
2-Adult Timeline (after Phantom Hourglass)
3-Convergent Timeline (Every timeline is the right timeline)
4-Child Timeline (Before Twilight Princess)
5-Unified Timeline (after Skyward Sword)

Theory crafting is fun sometimes...

Please tell me where any official source says there was a Hylian-Geurdo war, cause I keep seeing that theory being thrown around, and way to many people take a theory, which I hate, cause most use it as an excuse to say lol OoT Zelda was actually completely evil. Plus I've never seen any official source that says there was one.

 

[---]

As far as I can tell at this point, we got an average game with lots of potential should a sequel be made/put in better hands rather than a Sonic 2006.

**** it Inafune. X7 was more functional than some of the reports I've been hearing, and that game at least has the excuse of unnecessarily making the always awkward switch to 3D. I'm glad I waited for more accurate reviews to come in, as it sounds like I'd be better off with The Krion Conquest after all.

 

[ChikoLad]

IIRC, Hyrule Historia references it.

It's also extremely strongly implied that it happened in the games, specifically Twilight Princess, such as the fact that Gerudo Desert is completely deserted and their temple is desecrated and filled with what looks like a lot of torture devices and the like.

From what I can tell there was no official source on the 'Gerudo-Hylian war' specifically....just various clues found within Twilight Princess pointing to a possible conflict that occured after OoT in the child era, such as the existence of Snowpeak Ruins...the most likely scenario being the Gerudo-Hylian war that ended with Ganondorf's failed execution...
Castle Town from OoT is also in ruin as we can see the remains of both it and the Temple of Time in the Sacred Grove in Twilight Princess...perhaps it was overrun by the Gerudo during this war...and had forced the citizens of the city to relocate further north afterwards...

Clearly a lot of stuff went down after OoT that we don't see directly in game given all the changes that occured between both titles...but looking at Twilight Princess we can see that the kingdom hasn't faced conflict for some time before the Twilight Invasion...

Especially when the PC version doesn't even saves your games at all.

Well, he probably would have been sued if the game was cancelled. So in the literal sense, the launch was indeed better than nothing.

I can't really think of any other interpretation. "At least it's a start." might have worked if the game was at least average.

She sounds nice, but be VERY clear if you're uncomfortable with the knives and make sure she's 100% certain you'd never do anything to her she wouldn't want

She told you a lot of rather heavy stuff from the outset, which is odd for an acquaintance. Most people take time to open up. Still, spend some time with her before you decide. She does sound like an interesting person.

...Be wary of her knives though.

Ehh. I rather just wait it out and see of she's the one.

I wouldn't count one mistake and more out of self-defense as the her whole aspect.

But keep a look out for a bit

 

[Swamp Sensei]

I've already decided that she's more of a fun date kind of girl rather than a serious one.

I mean, just my plans for college determine that, but things like the needy ness and knives kind of help with that.



It's funny though. She's four foot, four inches. I'm six foot three.

I mean I don't really see the point in giving an impression on her, I don't know her personally, and I wouldn't want to confuse any feelings you have on her.

But I guess just be prepared to deal with a potentially unstable person if she really did stab someone and had a lot of bad experiences like that. If she really did go through that stuff, I highly doubt she's fully over it and I highly doubt it hasn't effected her at all.

I'm not saying to watch your back in case she stabs you. I more mean, be prepared to deal with someone who needs to vent a lot or goes through a ton of mood swings and the like, and...

Yeah I'd suggest not making a decision like that.

If you aren't at least open to the possibility of a more serious relationship, I'd say not to lead her on. When she is going in with such heavy stuff on the first date, I feel like that's someone who might be looking for a guy who'll stick around.

She trusts you. Don't break her trust by writing her off as "nothing more than a bit of fun". If you aren't prepared to deal with the neediness and weird habits, you shouldn't try to form any kind of relationship at all.

 

[Yomi's Biggest Fan]

Well, this seems to be better than the anime
Seriously, the whole scene when Opal is fighting in the fort while the others find Alex is basically a hentai **** scene

That's right, the aformentioned scene was only extended into what you see.

The original scene is not even as intense or overdone, just a regular hostage scene. Even Volume 4, one of the mooks (based on an annoying Fantasy Zone boss) did the same thing only to have his tentacles burned down and git rekt by Opal. Seriously, this new arc that dove into her past is where she truly develops.

So I've decided to do some research on the three mooks from Volume 4's intro to see what Data East game they originated from (Trio the Punch). Needless to say, I've discovered the weirdest game from that company.

I just looked up a long play, it's weird

There was a level you had to fight a red sheep as a boss. Then the next level you play as that red sheep for some weird reason

Also, the levels are like 10 seconds long

Expect no less from a company that has a fat, semi-naked bald Russian guy as their mascot.

Then the company went bankrupt until they remolded into what we know as Paon today. Even the latest Heracles game on the DS was a flop compared to the older games they've produced.

It was definitely there earlier though. I still have the page loaded up.

I take it the company always had a penchant for weird games back in the day. Even their games Metal Max and Glory of Heracles is normal in comparison to this guy.

Never played any of the Heracles games before. The only thing I remember about the DS game is that the boxart was censored a la lengthened skirt.
