Patiently waiting on my financial adviser to see my message. It's annoying when a class you join gets ****canned just because of a teacher's sickness or not enough students.

This the fifth time this already happened.

Better let's get both on the same day. This reminds me, there's a generation 8 rumor floating around already that's being deleted.

Thoughts? Probably fake, but the region sounds cool. Definitely would be a game changer.

Lost me at Mewthree. Went from plausible to lala-land there.

#SwampSquad has beaten Federation Force.

I'm... I'mma need a bit to do the whole mission report log thing.

Edit: For a simple review.

+ Solid controls, music, and general presentation if you can swallow the bodies' sizing and whatnot
+ Varies itself a lot in the small amount it holds
+ Really damn good system for customization and all
+ I ADORE the Auxillery weapon system.
+ Replayability and challenge in the medals and ... "H. M."
+ Writing is on par with the rest of the prime games.

- Struggles with verticality, aiming and platforming.
- Controls can leave your hands crampy.
- I... have some issues with the final boss

7/10 game.

Swamp Squad just finished Fed Force!

Now you can retire from your military careers and become a superstar Blast Ball team!

NO BECAUSE WHEN YOU STRIP AWAY THE PLOT YOUR FINAL BOSS IS JUST A BALL ROLLING AROUND THAT YOU SHOOT THE GLOWY BIT OF TO REMOVE ITS ENERGY FIELD SO YOU CAN THEN GUIDE IT INTO ELECTRO WALLS.

I feel like i haven't seen a pranked member in weeks. . .maybe i've gone blind or maybe you premiums got bored.



Today I turned down a trip to Disney World. Disney World. AKA my favorite place in the world. You know, because it's Disney World. I'll be missing the "Keys to the Kingdom" tour as well, which is something my parents have been waiting for for years (and i've been waiting for since I heard of it). My reasons are mostly because I'll be missing the first week of school but there are other reasons too.


I don't know if this is one of my most mature decisions or one of my most melodramatic.

I too, was pretty underwhelmed by the Final boss fight...Not only was it straight forward but felt a bit forced just to give Samus a more prominent role in a game she only makes minor appearances in up to this point...

Only to be followed up by a watered down version of Mother Brain...

I felt the final mission could've been handled a lot better than it was...it was easily one of my least favourite missions...

I'm just curious what's with the affinity for shooting balls in this game between Blast Ball, a few Bion missions and Samus' Final Boss fight...

2016 has seen too many stars lose their light, but we won't ever forget what they've inspired for so many of us. Rest in Peace, Gene Wilder.

What do you consider a good review score?

Back when the Official Nintendo Magazine was still going, I've taken towards their review style and kinda adopted it after it stopped.
The score system went along the lines of:
0-19% = Bad
20-49% = Poor
50-69% = Average
70-84% = Good
85-89% = Excellent
90+ = The ONM Gold Award - which translates to an amazing game.

Every now and then when I look at Metacritic, I wonder when 7/70 became accepted into 'average'...

So...

Some questions....

1. How do you guys feel about a vampire who combines gunplay with more traditional vampire powers?
2. How do you guys feel about a werewolf that doesn't lose his humanity after transformation?
3. How do you feel about a Mongolian Death Worm/robot hybrid?
4. How do you feel about a centaur that uses its own version of martial arts based on its unique anatomy?
5. How do you feel about a yakuza nekomata?
6. How do you feel about a succubus that lives with her parents?
7. Buford?
8. How about Valkyries that speak like Thor does in Marvel comics/movies?

1: Could work along the lines of Demitri Maximoff from Darkstalkers - 17th Century style pistols would be the way to go. Vampires should always have a sense of class to them, so being boastful about his skills could be a part of his personality.
2: Must be difficult to know that everyone sees you as a monster on the outside, yet you're (possibly) still a human on the inside. I know of a few werewolves like Sabrewulf (don't quote me on this, I need to play more Killer Instinct) and Jon that do retain some shreds of humanity in them.
3: Would be interesting to see the concept 'fleshed' out. *Eaten alive by monster*
4: It's been pointed out a while ago that it's not unfamiliar for characters like Motaro in Mortal Kombat. Could be done, and it seems they'd have a strong reliance on their body as the bulk of their attacks.
5: I guess we know what happened when Jibanyan goes into edge mode.
6: Interesting subversion of the succubus' tropes.
7: Can't say I know that one.
8: Fits in with their Nordic background.

MAN, If I had to chose Id say "**** school, I'll give the professors a note"

Thats like when I had a choice to go to kings dominion or retake a sol.
Im sure everyone knows what I picked

Some more thoughts about Federation Force:

Pros:

• I've heard that the game is very hard in single player. With our team of three, we were able to do things relatively simply. When things got challenging, it was a nice kind of challenging. And when we died and got game overs, it was our fault. For example, we all jumped in pits one time.
• The variety of missions really is astounding. Even when we did one similar thing, there was a brand new twist to it.
• Normal enemies can be a challenge. I haven't felt this way in a Metroid game in a long time.
• One of the few instances of gyro controls on the 3DS that don't make me want to throw the system.
• 1st and 3rd major boss were super fun.
• Game is designed for co-op in some spectacular ways
• There were some honestly nice tracks.
• Zoo line made me giggle.
• Nicely animated honestly

Cons:

• Enemy variety was a tad lacking.
• 2nd major boss and final boss were a bit lacking
• I imagine it's not fun for single player.
• Certain places felt like they weren't designed for co-op. Sometimes we'd all get stuck together because we all tried to go in a tunnel at once. Parts of the game can feel claustrophobic which is good for Metroid, bad for Co-op

Neutral:

• Balls

7.5/10

I imagine it's not fun for single player.

As someone who's played the entire game solo...it's not bad...for some missions I definitely felt overburdened such as M04: Containment and M09: Blender, but after careful planning and a few attempts they became...doable...

I thought the Architects mission would've been the same but my drones were nice enough to actually do something useful....

The way you described, it sounds more exciting than what it actually was, as Samus rolls around very slowly and awkwardly, unless she's using her boost ball, which is pretty easy to avoid, would imagine it would be easier in multi-player since she'd target other players as well...

On an unrelated note for those who are still futilely trying to git gud at Smash...Izaw released his last Art of Smash video...

Only those who risk going too far, can possibly find out how far they can go.

I mean...

Spoiler: Federation Force Spoilers

The Final Boss fight is perfect for a phase.

Imagine after one phase, Samus turns into the morph ball and fights you that way. The boss fight honestly shows off the morph ball's capabilities spectacularly. I can't think of any powers it has that it missed.

It could have been an awesome way to show her arsenal. But nah....

@Awesomedude4444 Champ Gold Ura

Amazing end to RAW. Only tuned in for the opening segment and the main event and the swerve in the end was great. We got KO as world champion on RAW and Rollins finally becoming a Babyface. Things are looking very interesting now. Here's hoping they keep the ball rolling with this.

And best of all, no Reigns in the main event


Have you ever imagined Jon Moxley, Kevin Steen and Shininske Nakamura as the WWE Top Champions

I sure as hell didn't and I'm loving it. I wish I was there since it was in Houston

That's one of the lame things about that fight is that it was ONLY her morph ball for the entire fight...having three separate phases for just her Morph Ball is really underwhelming...

I would've preferred a co-operative battle with Samus which is what I expected for the final fight, perhaps Samus could've been working on destroying some important part of the Doomseye and you have to defend her or you have to weaken an enemy and she can unleash a final hit or vice versa....and if Samus falls you fail the mission in addition to all the players...

I don't really hate Reigns but i'm glad he didn't win the title here because that would suck. Rollins winning would be too stagnant and more of the 2015 Authority storyline again so i'm glad they went with KO as the heel World champion. Makes for fresh feuds and a bunch of people can chase after KO.

I'm also hoping that this leads to Rollins VS HHH at Mania next year where Rollins is the one to final put an end to the Authority (I fully expect HHH to boot out Foley and take the position of RAW GM). Maybe there can be an angle at Survivor Series where it's Team Foley VS Team HHH for the position of RAW GM and HHH wins booting him out which leads to him and Steph running RAW until Rollins beats him at Mania as I mentioned before, ending the Authority for good.

That is perfectly satisfying too.

Although I expect this to be more about Haitch giving favor to his NXT guys than just The Authority.

But this is a perfect bookend as well. I don't have Roman either but I don't want the top champions to be **** on all the time

i think the authority angle is over.As you can see Steph was shocked and pissed to see hunter and its obvious she had her heart on Seth.I think Hunter is going rouge.Which imo is a better story.

For example, we all jumped in pits one time.

You mean when we were in the fireball maze without our mechs? If so you're wrong actually. I came across a pit but I didn't dare try to cross it. I got killed by a fireball that cornered me at the pit.

That's what they want you to think lol. Steph acting the way she did is so that she can eventually give the boot to Foley and put her husband back in power. I called this a long time ago back in the Spring when HHH first vanished from WWE TV. Everyone thought the Authority angle was over when I was thinking to myself that there was no official end to the Authority since they were never formally disbanded. Steph pretending to be oblivious to HHH and then helping him control RAW is what I predict what will happen, something among the lines of the Team Foley VS Team HHH Survivor Series match I said before which leads to Rollins putting an end to the Authority for good at Mania.

That is perfectly satisfying too.

True though it can be more among the lines of HHH seeing potential in KO as his next top star and wanting him to be the face of the Authority. As I mentioned to Awesomedude Steph can pretend that she doesn't know what's going on as could KO only for them to embrace at Clash of the Champions or something as I mentioned before leading to them to be all against Foley.

My idea of Team Foley VS Team HHH is partially inspired by Team Austin VS Team Bischoff from 2003's Survivor Series which is one of my favorite Survivor Series matches of all time. In this case you would have Rollins leading Team Foley and Owens leading Team HHH with HHH's team winning out in the end. Then you can do the corrupt Authority storyline through Mania leading to Seth beating HHH.

With all of this I think you can keep the Uni title on Owens through Mania where he drops it to someone.

I don't think the Authority will be brought back. Especially when Kane is on SD so no Corporate Kane and I don't know what happen to J&J security so no Authority but only Raw vs NXT like it was predicted

Spoiler

And SD will be in the mix really soon with Shane there and it feeds into the idea of a ultimate feud of SD guy vs Raw guy vs NXT guy at Wrestlemania

So that's what happens in the solo mission?

In the co-op mission, Only I found my mech there and I had to escort Depressed Gengar and Burruni until they found their respective mechs. Then Burruni found his, then we had to hold off enemies for DG.

The Co-op mission sounds ten times more fun.
