So, after listening to the Sonic Advance 3 soundtrack a few days ago, I decided to actually go back to the game. Despite having owned this game for about 12-ish years, I never finished collecting all the Chaos or the Chaos Emeralds, so I went back to try to get them.

I got the first six emeralds but...

THIS. LAST. SPECIAL. STAGE. WILL. BE. THE. DEATH. OF. ME!

Same issue with me as well. I was able to get the first 6 emeralds in a relatively short amount of time. But the 7th one? Geez, it's pure torture. I ended up rage quitting the emerald run of SA3 because of that blasted 7th special stage.

Speaking of, which Advance 3 level is your favorite? My fav's always been Chaos Angel, because of the epic music, the challenging level design, the length in that it's not too long but still long enough to feel like a final level, and I love its aesthetic.

Why is Digital Foundry's comment section toxic as all hell?

Aren't those the people that document resolution and framerate of games?

I can imagine some reasons why. . .

I admit.

I looked for the misspelled one longer than I should have.

Now the rest of the post...

So it looks like the next update for Overwatch includes Doomfist and the Summer Games:

Should be pretty good if it happens.

When it comes to music, it's Route 99, Cyber Track, and Chaos Angel.
When it comes to atmosphere, it's Chaos Angel, Sunset Hill, and Toy Kingdom.
When it comes to level design, it's Sunset Hill, Twinkle Snow, and Chaos Angel.
The only one that doesn't have any striking features to me is Ocean Base, but it's still an alright level. Even if it was the hardest one for me to find all the Chaos in.

I guess that would make the winner here Chaos Angel.

I'm not giving up on the final Special Stage though. SA3 was one of the first video games I ever owned, (I think specifically it was the fifth), and I really want to beat it.

For the record, I've had Cyber Track's special stage unlocked since 2008, but I only beat it for the first time yesterday.

Yeah, nothing is striking to me about Ocean Base. The music is alright-ish to me, but I hate the level design of the level. Ocean Base feels so awkward and clunky to play through.

I think it's because Ocean Base is a very vertical level, meaning that it's much slower and harder to maneuver around.

Also, back when I was younger, I used to hate Chaos Angel Act 3, but nowadays, due to the linear layout of the level, the abundance of rings, and the level's overall ease with the Knuckles/Tails combo, it has become my favorite place to grind for Special Stage Keys

 

[Kurri ★]

No not really.

Like not at all.


I dunno. I guess I just believe people are better than that.

That or we have differences on what bigoted means exactly.

I suppose this can be a relative thing.

It could be an issue of not understanding what is and isn't bigoted and how it effects people. I'm not saying this to demean you or anything, but a lot issues generally don't click until something about it is understood. Remember the Twitter thread on racist advertisements and how they're still prevalent today? That's definitely something many people don't notice until something comes around to help them understand.

Interesting article about why Nintendo didn't focus on indies at E3.

But to be clear, we look at E3 in the here and now. Our focus is on games that are largely going to be available between now and the end of the holiday season. And when you look at that lineup, there's a strong game coming literally every month, starting tomorrow with Arms, and then Splatoon 2, then in August is the Mario + Rabbids game, September, October with Super Mario Odyssey. We've got that great pace of content, and I can tell you there's more to be announced.

That's also the face of someone who had a nasty shart.

But yeah, can't believe how close Spla2n is too.

Holy **** Prey is actually pretty damn awesome

Loving it so far, even though Survival Horror isn't really my thing

I don't think you understood what I meant at all.

The likelihood of someone being homophobic is directly proportional to how much they try to deny them being homophobic.
If someone has to constantly say "I'm not homophobic but..." then that's a red sign

Well, he never went out of his way to say it...he just mentioned it because he was talking about Mass Effect: Andromeda and how it's portrayal of gay people and how many there actually are vs. how many are in the game is unrealistically high.

He also pointed out that, due to the purpose of Project Andromeda (or whatever it was called) literally being to repopulate planets, whoever wasn't reproducing was basically dead-weight and endangering their own species.

For example, I'm not actually an opossum.

I went to return cans and bottles today.

My state upped the cost of the recycled can/bottle from five cents a can/bottle to ten cents.

I just made $38.60 on nothing but recycling old cans/bottles.

Holy crap.

So I was just thinking about Street Fighter X Tekken.

That game was hated quite a bit due to a lot of factors (the DLC practices and gems being the big two, and BBA Megaman for certain fans), but looking back at it I actually had a lot of fun with it myself.

Anyone else here liked/hated/played the game?

Man the new avatars for Xbox look really cool. I like how ey look like they're pulled from a Pixar movie.

They're real nice and expressive. I mean, I still really love the old Avatars, but the new ones allow for way more customization. Sorta wish I still had an Xbox to play around with it. Also wish Nintendo would take strides to revamping Miis. I figured with Miitomo on mobile, they would, but... we just have more colors, which is nice, but... Kinda want some clothes, some hats, stuff to like, express myself?

I haven't played it much myself, but I know someone who loves Street Fighter x Tekken, especially now that they patched out all the major issues.

I'd have a grin like that. And a super evil laugh and lair.

I dig it. I just bought the Vita version for like ten bucks and it's fun.

They remind of Shadbase and it hurts

I didn't buy the game due to the DLC practices. I was disappointed that Guy was among the characters locked behind a $20 paywall despite already being on the disc. I didn't mind BBA Mega Man's inclusion, though. The game itself also looked pretty fun.

Can confirm.

Bought Rogue Legacy months ago and I haven't touched it yet.

EDIT: Apparently it was nearly 2 years ago. Yikes.

That one guy seriously said "Modern Marvel fans might not know some of the X-Men"?

Well, who's ****ing fault is that? It ain't ours Marvel.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

OMG, The character "Harvey Dent" in the 1989 Tim Buton's Batman was played by "Billy Dee Williams" - Who thought he was going to be in multiple movies since we all know it's Harvey Dent that eventually because the villainous "Two-Face". But by the time Two Face was actually added the the movies series under "Joel Schumacher", the actor changed to "Tommy Lee Jones". Always thought that consistency in a movie series that was supposed to be all in the same universe weird.

Apparently Billy Dee Williams GOT to play Two Face eventually in the Lego Batman movie!

Just took 20+ years later

Billy Dee Williams being more known as the role of "Lando Calrissian"

It's pretty delusional even then since plenty X-Men movies have come out recently (****, Wolverine had one this year) and it's not like MvC has used many obscure X-Men characters in the first place.

It's just a bad excuse all around.

 

[Burruni]

Just throwin tis out there.
Modern Marvel fans might still know X-men characterrs from
UMvC3's re-releases a few months ago?

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Since y'all talking about X-Men

What was the point of Xavier in "Logan"?

I dunno, he didn't really seem to bring anything to the story
