After seeing these, I'm starting to get why location testers hated Capcom All Stars.



This is why people hate fighting games. Overly complex inputs for the sake of having a so called "challenge"

Just have the usual Fireball, DP, 180, 360 and charge motions

On August 1, 2016, Alola received a grim reminder.



I was pretty amused by this considering I'm an Attack on Titan fan, not to mention Chapter 84 comes out in two days so this picture's timing was perfect.

TIL people argue about the spelling of Aeris/Aerith's name the same way people argue over whether Dr. Robotnik/Dr. Eggman is the correct character name.

Confession: The only Metroid games I've played are Metroid 1, Super, Fusion, and the Prime Hunters demo (and I also recently got Metroid 2 via My Nintendo). Out of those games, I've only beaten Fusion. I've also enjoyed what I've played of Super so far, so I'm currently trying to decide between voting for that game or Fusion.

EDIT: Picked Fusion.

For real though Metroid is one of those series that I acknowledge is good in it's own right with it's critical acclaim and fan reception but it's not the series for me. Tried playing Zero Mission one time and I just sorta lost interest in playing around Norfair for some reason. I think I was lost somewhere and I just said screw it i'm done with this. Like I said though Metroid is a series that's been beloved for decades so just because I didn't like it personally I can acknowledge that it's still a good series.

I'm like this with other Nintendo series like Pikmin, Animal Crossing, Spatoon, and others.

New Straw Poll to commemorate Metroid's 30th anniversary.
My Top 5 as of now...mainly because when I pick just one I feel bad for leaving others out...
5. Metroid Prime 3: Corruption
4. Metroid: Zero Mission
3. Metroid Prime 2: Echoes
2. Super Metroid
1. Metroid Prime
My first Metroid game, and still remains my favourite Metroid game!!
Any future game has a lot to live up to if that's going to change!

Joined the discord because I can. Maybe I will actually stick with this one.

Fusion at 3 votes and Super at 0

. . . wat.

Voted Prime and I doubt any Metroid game will ever steal that spot. Ever.


Anyway, their was a pretty heavy storm today (which is awesome because thunderstorms are my favorite type of weather. 30th anniversary had the best weather and)power went out for a minute while I was at work. So that was cool

I went to look something up because of this.

Turns out the gag I thought of was revived while I wasn't looking.


If it makes you feel any better, that's something you have in common with my favorite video game character.

Yeah. I have that in common with both Tails and Rikku from FFX.

It's more of the sound of thunder that makes me scared than the thunder itself. Makes me panic internally everytime I hear it.

I don't want to be anal, but thunder is the sound of thunder itself...Lightning is the flash, thunder is the bang...

Yeah I guess that's what makes me terrified lol. Also my paranoia of things that can happen in a thunderstorm like damages or something.

What's terrifying the most is when it thunder's in the middle of the night as i'm sleeping (happened a week or two ago). Not only am I drowsy but i'm also scared out of my mind which is the worst combination ever. :(

Yes. You should be ashamed of yourself...

No not at all, especially considering we haven't had a new Metroid game within the last few years. But I think you should at least give it a try...if you're into exploration of any kind, and atmospheric and isolated environments (with a small touch of survival horror) then you'll probably enjoy it...

Currently, the most accessible Metroid games are the ones in the Wii U VC and one in the New 3DS VC
If all you have is a non-New 3DS, then your only options are Metroid 1 and 2
So yeah, I can't blame ya

And those two are some of the worst in the series so there's that.

Yeah, that's what I meant
1 suffers from being the first title and 2 just makes my head hurt and OH GOD WHERE AM I WHY DOES EVERYTHING LOOK THE SAME

Down on the corner, out in the street.
Details for Splatoon Koshien 2017:

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1258917

After seeing the under 12s tournament @ SDCC (iirc), I really hope they branch out more with tournaments like these.

Especially in Australia, we get jack all around here.

That said I can only hope they have something proper for the EB Games Expo this year...

Well to some it could be better than Federation Force.
Federaion Force will have better game design than Metroid 1.

But that's because Metroid 1's game design is the most dated thing I've ever seen.

So here's an interesting article I ran into: http://www.cracked.com/blog/why-blockbuster-movie-bubble-will-burst-in-2018/

I don't really care for Cracked these days, but I thought it would make for some nice discussion on how ridiculous the movie lineup for 2018 looks like (and how it may not be a good thing).
That is quite the line up of movies if I've ever seen one.

I probably won't have much of a problem, since there's only seven movies that interest me that year. But I can imagine for some it's going to cost a pretty penny.

EDIT: In case anyone is curious about what those movies are.
Toy Story 4
Deadpool 2
Ant-Man and the Wasp
Jurassic World 2
Wreck-It Ralph 2
Han Solo
Gigantic

Out of that list, I have six (possibly up to nine) that interest me. If you want to know what they are, check the spoiler.
*Infinity War
*Toy Story 4 (possibly)
*Black Panther
*The Flash
*Ant Man and the Wasp
*Animated Spider-Man movie (again, possibly)
*Wreck It Ralph 2
*Han Solo spinoff
*Fantastic Beasts 2 (if the first one is any good)

And wow, that's a lot of movies. People are going to start getting tired of seeing a huge blockbuster every week eventually though.
