I didn't include the Divine Beasts since they are directly implied in game to be named after their respective sages (at least Ruta and Naboris) but I still included other stuff named for the sages also didn't include anything named after the Goddesses as well as races, and regions of hyrule that are present in the game...also didn't include names of characters from BotW (ex. Mount Rhoam)...

A lot of them are mispelling but I still feel they are references...it's pretty cool to see these in the game...

I've been watching videos on paranormal and supernatural stuff

And while I'm completely skeptical about the events, I have had my own paranormal experience.

Which did include an electronic device shutting off

Yes I did...I'm sure there's others I missed as well...

there could be some that are even harder to recognize based on their spelling...

Tafei Hill for example I wasn't even sure if it was a reference, but it's just one letter off from being Kafei...

 

[Knight Dude]

Sage Harpuia was the winner of the Mega Man Zero poll. No big surprise, he is generally seen as one of the more memorable of the Four Guardians (next to Fairy Laviathan). Speaking of which, Leviathan herself and Omega didn't do too bad either.

Now we are doing the second to last Mega Man subseries, which is none other than Mega Man Starforce. It's generally seen as the successor to the Battle Network Series, but in 3D. Your choices are Harp Note, Rogue, Apollo Flame, and Sirius. Not sure who's a fan of these games other than @DarkAura64, but he's not really that active these days.

There was a problem fetching the tweet

Back to more Breath of the Sexy Link gameplay for me. Expect some high quality Tweets.

Rogue could be an alright choice. I know why you didn't put him in, but Geo's easily the best choice of them all.

Yeah. It is hard to imagine that a lets player as boring as him has been around that long.

I dunno. I think he's alright guy at least. There's definitely worse channels if you want to watch an LP.

 

[JamesDNaux]

So the past week or so, this youtube channel I've followed a bit has posted video versions of each part of this:
https://www.reddit.com/r/nosleep/comments/4q03fa/i_dared_my_best_friend_to_ruin_my_life_hes/

While its more then likely not real like most stories, its pretty realistic and a great way to tell a creepy story without a "ooh the toaster was haunted" or stuff like that.

One of my favorite stories I've read. I'd recommend it if you've got time to spare.

There's even a follow up which I'll have to read when I get through this school work.

Actually rather enjoyed that, worth it click of the day.

I hope I don't miss out on Episode Gladiolus DLC like I did with the last 2 DLC events.

Especially Xenoblade Chronicles, the biggest LP he had ever did. That's why he appears in Gamexplain's Xenoblade Chronicles video. From X, 3D, and now 2.
Nevertheless, I sub Chugga when I found his Kid Icarus Uprising LP video four years ago.

I saw the first episode of Tokyo Ghoul.

It was....interesting, I'm not quite sure if this show will be for me.

 

[Aetheri]

Hadn't realized Snipperclips has a free demo available...So I downloaded it and gave it a go...

The game is definitely ideal for multiplayer, as a single player there's no really discussion or thought how to approach things I'm just doing, and that seems to take away most of the fun in the game...not really bad per se, but there's something about 'best played with friends' that sort of turns me away from a game...I've mentioned earlier that I do have someone else who'd be interested in playing Snipperclips but I honestly am not sure if I really want to pay the $28 for a game I'll likely only play a few times in multiplayer and won't really have much of an interest in playing on my own...

It's...reeeally jarring using a single Joy-con...It wasn't uncomfortable by any means it just felt, weird...The offset joy-stick and buttons didn't bother me as much as I expected it would...honestly my biggest gripe are the SL/SR buttons without the straps they are tiny and my above average sized hands are more comfortable holding something with a little more volume, but with the straps it almost seems worse because it feels like I have to force it in order for the input to go through properly, think of it as wearing gloves and handling things compared to handling things with your bare hands, you don't feel the button being pushed so you're not confident that it's even working even though you probably are pushing it without even knowing...
also I don't like the actual wrist strap when you're holding it in your hand, you can feel the string as well as the locking mechanism when playing and it just feels really awkward...

Now take this and add in how it gets stuck to the joy-con and that makes these straps kind of bad tbh...If I ever have a game I'm going to be sinking a lot of hours into that requires the use of a single joy-con I think I'm going to get a special grip to make it more comfortable...

granted many people that like Tokyo Ghoul say the manga is much better and the anime is bad. I've only watched the anime and never read the manga so I wouldnt know

edit: Man I should read before I post

Update that adds changes to Chapter 13 are live!

And there's a special option to play through the new Gladiolus section. It also seems the map is a bit more open, I don't recall being able to run on top of the rock arches.

I'll def be doing a second playthrough at some point. Be a great way to pass the time till my Switch arrives

 

[Yellowlord]

Well then; I just realized we're nearing the end of March; only 5-6 more days! I'm surprised we're already at this point in the year, but time flies by fast when you look at the NintenZone. Here's hoping for even more Nintendo news in the coming weeks, especially regarding the Smash amiibo...

Also, I probably should of mentioned this weeks ago, but your signature is simplistic, yet well done Kurri ★ ! Then again, I'm not quite sure how long you've had that particular signature. My praise on its design still stands either way. :o

<that feeling when you tag the Kurri without the star>...

All I care about is Attack on Titan and My Hero season 2 starting on the first of april

 

[Coricus]

OK, I just saw someone mention the contract for HD Pokemon work is for work until May 2018.

That's DEFINITELY Pokemon Switch 2018 to me then. Not a year sooner or later IMO, that's when it's going down.

I'm gonna guess Holiday 2018 with a Pokken port and a Mystery Dungeon game at some point during the little over a year and a half between now and then to hold people over.

Pokemon fans that buy their systems for that probably aren't gonna be happy, but there's enough games in the latter half of 2017 that are on my radar that I think the wait will go by a bit quicker for me LOL. And I mean, it could have been worse, if modeling is completely done by the first half of the year then with how fast Pokemon games seem to be made I don't see it ending up in 2019.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

That's interesting. Apparently several of the presidents have talked about a shadow government or "The Illuminati" with control above the country

Including George Washington, Andrew Jackson, Teddy Roosevelt, and John F Kennedy

[Erureido]

I beat Thunderblight Ganon yesterday on my first try yesterday, but I gotta say, it was hard yet enjoyable.

Spoiler: Thoughts on the battle

The moment the battle began, I jumped down. I got hit by the first teleportation attack, but I grabbed out my shield to avoid the second attack. Once I blocked the teleportation attack, I proceeded to spam it down with a Guardian Sword++. The thunder projectile attacks were pretty easy to dodge. I even got my first successful perfect guard... twice! In both times, I got a good number of hits from the rewarded attack barage.

Then came the second phase. I found my way through by carrying one of the lightning rods via Magnesis and smashing it into Thunderblight Ganon. The rest of the fight was when it got difficult. It temporarily generates lightning on its sword and shield, and when it uses the same attack from the first phase, it can knock your weapons away. The charge eventually wears off after a while, so it's safe to use your shield again. My patience was what made it harder for this phase, as I kept running away from the boss the moment it generated electricity, then got impatient waiting for the charge to wear off. Luckily, I figured out the pattern, and it was all good. I even prepared some level 2 shock-resistant elixirs to make things a bit easier.

With Thunderblight Ganon defeated and Van Naboris reclaimed, Urbosa's spirit was freed. I liked her dialogue with Link, as well as her monologue after firing the beam at the castle. She really seems to despise Ganon, even referencing OoT when mentioning Ganon was born as a Gerudo at one point, and it made this moment "all the more satisfying" because of it.

Well, that's all four Divine Beasts! I'm not going to fight Ganon yet though. I want to complete all the shrines first, unlock all the memories, and explore Hyrule Castle, then I'll take on Ganon.

I also successfully killed my first Walking Guardian today without having to use Ancient Arrows. Turns out they make the perfect practice for that Perfect Parry! No doubt this practice will prepare for my Ganon. The experience even gave me confidence to explore all of Hyrule Field now.

I even unlocked that one memory with Link and Zelda and that frog.

Spoiler: Thoughts on the memory

I laughed at when Zelda tried to make Link eat the frog. Link's reaction was priceless. Zelda really showed her scholarly personality in this scene.

Also, there was definitely some deep symbolism going on with that Silent Princess flower, but I can't quite lay my finger on it.

*puts on glasses*

Scientifically speaking, Pokemon Company is willing enough to freely talk about their plans and hint at a Switch Pokemon as though it isn't too far away but shows concern as though it isn't as soon as people want. This seems to indicate a timeframe that such development would corroborate and would fall in line with precedent on past systems.

So no, but the chicken and the rooster seem to be getting along. *chews on pencil*

On a more serious note, it's speculation that I get a little too crazy with out of enthusiasm but I do at least take the time to make it educated. I read multiple interviews concerning Pokemon that seem to slowly put together the jigsaw puzzle of a narrative as to what on earth is going on back there.

Pokemon is a series intended to be pumped out fast with some internal streamlining being started a couple years ago to facilitate it, they plan on putting their titles on the Switch and strongly imply mainline, they seemed to be unsure of whether or not it would be right away at first but later seemed to settle on waiting a bit to watch how the system is used but are still planning on making a title, they're having some issues with HD development and will thus have easier titles first but thus far they still haven't quieted down about Pokemon Switch.

I would wonder if they would be this chatty if it was 2019 or this reluctant if it was 2017.

 

[InsaneAlchemist]

Same here, I'm only excited for the next season of Attack on Titan.
AoT fangirl intensifies.

On another note, I'm definitely getting Splatoon 2 once I get the Switch. I already have the HD version of Skyrim on my Steam since I bought all DLC for the original Skyrim, and I already have the Wii U version of Breath of the Wild. I might also get Mario Odyssey but I'll have to see how that works out.

If they really wanted to make the next Pokémon revolutionary they'd release one version for Switch, the other for 3DS, and have them be able to communicate. Too bad that's never gonna ****ing happen.

 

[Coricus]

If they really wanted to make the next Pokémon revolutionary they'd release one version for Switch, the other for 3DS, and have them be able to communicate. Too bad that's never gonna ****ing happen.

Hmm. I feel like I remember. . .

*click*

*click click*

Pokemon Yellow was a GB game in Japan and a GBC game internationally. A very different situation than now due to it being because the GBC wasn't out in Japan during it's release there, but I thought I remembered multiple variants of a game due to generational transition and that seems to have been it.

The main issue about communicating is due to hypothetical hardware differences, I'm not sure whether the 3DS and Switch have compatible communication channels or not. What I do know is that Pokemon Box is designed to completely sidestep hardware differences, so at the very least Pokemon transfer from gen to gen is unlikely to be stopped. That's not what people ask for when they request communication, though.

 

[InsaneAlchemist]

Which is why I'm skeptical about a hypothetical third Gen VII version on the Switch. I'm also slightly skeptical about Gen VIII being on the Switch, but at least there is less foreseeable issues with the latter than having Sun and Moon on the 3DS and the third version on the Switch. Even if they made it for both the 3DS and the Switch there's still the Switch version of it.
