I got some stuff for my birthday.

Parents said I wouldn't get anymore stuff aside from needed stuff but since I worked hard for the family... again. They gave me stuff.

Luckily it wasn't as big as the PS4.

I got...

Far Cry Primal (PS4)
Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon (3DS)
The Legend of Zelda: Twighlight Princess HD (Wii U) + Wolf Link Amiibo
50 bucks of Eshop cash


I don't know what I'm going to get with the eshop cash...

1. Uprising
2. Xenoblade if you have a New 3DS
3. I've heard good things about Planet Robobot
4. Well if you're willing to get Pokemon Sun/Moon as a download in a few months. . .
5. Virtual Console party
6. Will it work with the NX?

Ignore any suggestions you already own. Have fun with Super Mystery Dungeon, though.

What happened?

This one's going to be a bit spoiler heavy so bear with me.

Spoiler: Steven Universe spoilers

Most fans always thought of Rose as the perfect pacifist and a Crystal Gem that fought for the protection of Earth. But with recent news of Bismuth being bubbled during the war because of her extremists views, some Bismuth fans call her out as being the villain. When Bismuth herself created the Breaking Point as a way of defeating the Diamonds by breaking their gem, which is against Rose's views on war. But then we know for sure that Rose went as far as killing Pink Diamond by shattering her gem. Jasper alluded to this (which is why she has such a rude on her) during her corruption while the Rubies told Steven's gang all about it when they went back to the moon to see her mural. Garnet said she had no choice on the matter because Pink Diamond wanted to colonize the Earth while its fresh, thus Rose turning against her own master as a rebel and killing her permanently.

Needless to say, there are a lot of mixed views about Rose right about now because of recent events. But these things happened for good reasons and she is no way a hypocrite.

Easy: buy Etrian Odyssey, nerd >:^)

Speaking of taken too serious, guess who's being called a hypocrite because of recent Steven Universe episodes?

Rose Quartz.

People don't know the difference between necessary and unnecessary killing do they?
There are even people saying Pink Diamond didn't do anything wrong, when, you know, just the fact of her having a COLONY is wrong

VC is probably the best choice, then. You can get a bunch of games in one go.

I'd suggest getting things other than the Mini NES' offerings just because that little box is going to be such a good deal.


*EDIT* Dangit missed the poll

Suggestions. . .do you have Earthbound? It's on the more expensive end and you probably do, but it might be a good place to start.

Rose Quartz.

These Bismuth fangirls be barking up the wrong tree. I like her, but Rose did make the right choice for what she did. This is why I'm not really expecting her to return in future episodes.

People who still thought that Rose Quartz would be absolutely perfect with how many facets (heh) all characters have was being delusional.

I mean THIS is how she is portrayed in the background of the extended intro, with shadowed eyes and an evil grin. Like goddamn open your eyes to the signs.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Oh boy...

I have a lot of VC games...

Most of the big ones already..

Though I haven't touched Megaman X, Castlevania or Final Fantasy...

Cool, Super Mystery gets really good, I'd recommend playing it if you have nothing else to play atm on your 3ds.

As for the pool I voted for games in this order:

1)Kirby Planet Robobot
2)Conquest
3)Yoshi'sWooly World
4) Paper Jam

All are pretty nice games and a lot of fun. Can hold you over till next big releases as well.

Do you own Shantae and the Pirate's Curse? If not, I highly recommend that.

If you do, I recommend Yoshi's Wooly World if you want a fun platformer.

Every single birthday here I see this gif. I'm not complaining.

 

[Wario Bros.]

For Smash Crusade I checked their forums, Facebook, Twitter, forums, and YouTube: I can't find any Smash Con info from them.

I know they said they're recording the footage, but why the silence everywhere else?

I voted Planet Robobot

I quite enjoyed the game


However, I'm not sure how much replayability it has

 

[Ura]

Oh boy...

I have a lot of VC games...

Most of the big ones already..

Though I haven't touched Megaman X, Castlevania or Final Fantasy...

So pretty much most of the prominent titles on the EShop huh?

 

[Coricus]

Most of the big ones, you say?

Go for Game Gear fare, then?

Yeah. . .if you have that many games then maybe going back to the Robobot option might be better.

If you've been interested in those three games then may the party commence, though.

Evil Rose Quartz is evil. Shame no one paid any mind to this.

Exactly. Let's all say that Yellow Diamond is just misunderstood instead of being a coldhearted tyrant that wants to take over the entire star system with a diamond fist.

Or Blue Diamond, but she's much worse.

Probably because it's my designated "wish someone happy birthday" gif.



also Swamp Sensei just warning you because I feel like doing this every time Bravely gets brought up.

The gameplay is ****ing awesome. Other than magic being pretty weak it's stellar.

The game has one of the best additions to any JRPG ever by letting you change the encounter rate (increase or even set to 0)

The story is good and the characters are EXTREMELY entertaining.

The music is some of the best i've ever heard.


But oh boy is the pacing ****. Dungeons drag on a bit and there is just too much running around sometimes, especially for the sidequests (which are fun otherwise)

And of course theree is some infamously bad pacing near the end of the game which is absurdly repetitive and unfun and turned a lot of people off from the series . . .I would try as best as you can to not buy the game and borrow it from a friend or buy it used/cheap because you might hit that point and want to return it even if everything before it was great.

 

[Yomi's Biggest Fan]

I tried looking for any picture relating to "Yellow Diamond did nothing wrong" and this came up.

Let's hope she is a more serious character in the future so the memes stop.

Voted for FE Conquest as while it's story is weak, the gameplay is a lot if fun, particularly if you're a fan of the classic gameplay from the older games. Bravely Default is also a great game from what I've heard.

Also, happy birthday!

 

[Deleted member]

Everything we knew from Rose up until this point came from Greg(who barely knew her) and the Gems.
No one would tell a young boy that their mother killed someone, kids always see their parents as perfect, until they learn the truth.
Rose was never meant to be perfect, only to look like it. No gem is perfect, they all have flaws and if there's not even a single cut on them, they're probably fake.

I love how in Default magic just scaled so horribly.
Then Second happens.
And one of /the two first jobs you get/ makes magic scale so stupidly hard.

Oh crud.

Someone even pointed out he's more opaque in the banner and aiming a gun at the lighthouse.

This sounds like the next part of the plot to me.

 

[AlphaSSB]

Hopefully I'm not late, but Happy Birthday Swamp Sensei

 

[Fenriraga]

Swamp Sensei Happy Birthday, man!


Also, allow me to help you out with that choice of yours.

 

[PushDustIn]

Reminder: SG birthday stream is next week.

Any idea on who the special guests will be?

Hint for special guest #1 — He’s a big fan of a character that originally debuted in 1987.

…and a hint for special guest #2 — Everyone has heard of him.

I'm putting the final touches on the trivia questions today. There's 4 levels -- Master Hand, Giga Bowser, Crazy Hand and Master Fortress. Master Fortress are extremely tough questions!

Oh and happy bday Swamp!

 

[Champ Gold]

So I just saw Sausage Party


The movie was meh but the ending was so ****ing awful, cringeworthy and just really disgusting

Swamp doesn't know what to do.

Swamp may just decide against what you think, but Swamp will at least listen to consideration.

The four games I picked are Fire Emblem Fates: Conquest, Kirby: Planet Robobot, Mario and Luigi: Paper Jam, and Other.

• Fire Emblem Fates has the best gameplay between all three routes due to its veteran-style maps. It's a really fun experience. Just be warned the story sucks.
• Kirby PR is my favorite Kirby game thus far. Fantastic level design, clever puzzles, pretty good story, and the Robobot Armor being a really fun addition (better utilized than the Hypernova and the Hyper Abilities). Only issue with the game that I can think of is that it's on the easier side compared to other Kirby titles.
• Mario and Luigi: Paper Jam still retains the main gameplay that makes titles like Bowser's Inside Story and Dream Team really fun to play through. The main issue is that the game is rather uninspired compared to past titles.
• My "Other" option would have to be either Fire Emblem Fates: Birthright or Professor Layton and the Curious Village/Last Specter
  • Birthright's gameplay is nowhere as strong as Conquest's since it is similar to Awakening, though I consider Birthright to be much better than Awakening considering most maps aren't just open fields and the pair-up system is no longer broken. Birthright is also generally agreed upon to have the best story out of the three routes (and even I can attest to that).
  • If not Birthright, you could try playing a Professor Layton title if you can find one. Curious Village and Last Specter are good starting points considering they are both the first games to their respective trilogies. The Layton games all have clever and fun puzzles (a.k.a. brain teasers), very well-written stories in all six games, and a lovable cast of characters throughout. If you're into mystery-style plots with an emphasis on solving puzzles/brain teasers, you'll love the Layton games. Playing some Layton titles is even a great way to prepare for Lady Layton's release next year.

 

[Coricus]

Oh yeah. . .in news very, very vaguely related to SSF2, I restarted ToS forever ago after realizing I missed a bonus boss and am FINALLY starting to play it again.

. . .The cooking mechanic adds a layer of character information with the star levels showing how well they can cook, but mechanically speaking it's a little confusing and not something that immediately strikes me as super fun. But then, cooking in video games always seems to be missing this or that for me no matter what game I play. Perhaps I should think on how to make a more fun usage of it at some point. The idea of cooking in video games sounds fun in concept, there's just always something off with the execution.

. . .I'll probably have to think on it when I don't feel dizzy for no reason, though.

Buy Mole Mania. Only like three dollars and it's a blast.

And then buy other things.

I don't know about Swumpy but I'm getting Megaman X

 

[A Distant Demon]

Not putting this in spoilers because im pretty sure the series is older than I am.


So mobile Suit Gundam has the final battle between Char and Amuro, the big 2. It starts with fighting giant robots, then they get destroyed and start a gunfight with jetpacks because zero-g means that can happen I guess. But then they cut away. . .

When they come back from other characters doing their thing. . .

Spoiler: what the ****. . .

They are fencing. Why the **** are they fencing? What caused them to start fencing? Where did they get the rapiers? Is Amuro the next lord of Fire Emblem?

. . .I love this show.

Kirby Planet Robobot is a GREAT game. Friends without Benefits have been doing a playthrough fo rit, and it's an amazing commentary and playthrough at that. The Invader Armor's Copy abilities are reallyy cool too, and well utilized.
Also, since I'm now joining this social, I have a question I've wanted to know for some time: I don't watch Steven Universe, but know what the characters look like. So, is it just me, or does one of them (again, don't wtach it so don't know the name) look like Ocarina of Time Ganondorf?
