Social NintenZone Social 6.0 - L'Arachel Edition, Apparently?

[Deleted member]

A corny 80's title would be the NintenGang's Social Base

Damn, i'm going to be walking with a cane soon.

Although I could've sworn you were older. I checked your page before and it said you were like 27-29ish.

Lol I remember reading an Archie comic from back in the day where a character said we'd be living on Mars by the year 2010.

Wonder why authors and some others were so extravagant with their predictions for the future? IIRC I remember hearing something in the mid-2000's about how in the year 2020 we'd have pocket cars lol.

I mean, in some years, we're gonna look back on series that were set on the now-near-future that will look absurd too.

You jest, but I've said before, it's unbelievable how much stuff gets shared among the relatively small pool of industry people down here. I know more about a couple upcoming games and films than I ever knew about Smash Wii U back during that leak. And no, nunya getting any info. Wait for E3.

It's Cody time.

Cody, Metro City’s New Mayor, punches his way in to Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition on June 26! #SFVAE 🌪️ pic.twitter.com/CHyop1veAb

Guy in the beginning is Kenny Omega, didn't recognize him at first lol.

See I don't know how to feel yet. There are some changes I like and others I don't.
Like having his weapon be V-Trigger helps a ****ton and makes the knife a hell of a lot more useful than having to go out of your way to pick it up. 'Cause like in IV it was okay but usually you'd have to go out of your way to get it which didn't make it worth it in all scenarios.

On the other hand having some of his moves changed around could be finicky. Like this is just 2 minutes of footage so I can't say for certain, but it looks like they got rid of the rock (at least for base Cody) and replaced it with the air projectile. Which doesn't seem as good as the rock.
If he has both that I won't mind. It'd actually be good for zoning to have one slower projectile and one faster projectile.

Again I'm waiting for further notice, but first impression is eh, he's pretty all right. Not too shabby.

Yeah just like how the film 2012 is now a comedy film given the failed prediction that year.

It never said that lol

Coulda sworn I saw that on your profile page. Must be the Mandala effect I guess.

Why you gotta make us jelly bruh?

Perhaps.

Either that or Ura needs glasses

You probably were looking at my profile not Uni’s.

 

[Ura]

Perhaps.

I do actually need glasses lol. I'm just too stubborn to wear them. ****ing hate wearing them.

You probably were looking at my profile not Uni’s.

Nah it was Uni's lol. Or so I think.

 

[The Stoopid Unikorn]

I do actually need glasses lol. I'm just too stubborn to wear them. ****ing hate wearing them.

Why? Because urafraid you'll look like a nerd? :V

All the cool people wear glasses.

 

[Yellowlord]

Well, uh... I wear glasses, so... would I really be that cool? :o

 

[Ura]

Nah I couldn't care less. Just hate wearing them and I feel uncomfortable wearing them.

All the cool people wear glasses.

Except me

I've had teachers just casually namedrop movies they're working on that haven't even been announced yet. One guy, who I won't name because he's a cool dude, straight up brought in a model for a character in a big CG summer blockbuster movie that hasn't even had a trailer drop yet.

 

[Megadoomer]

Yeah just like how the film 2012 is now a comedy film given the failed prediction that year.

I wonder what the worst example of that sort of thing is. Escape From New York had it so that the Cold War was still going on, New York City had been turned into a walled-off prison colony, and bombs can be implanted in someone through injection, all in the distant future of 1997.

 

[Z25]

Well I finished the Tempest Trials!

Got 38 orbs that will probably be around 50 when the banner actually comes out.

Leveling Marth up now. Hopefully we get the banner trailer tonight finally.

 

[Natz~]

I do actually need glasses lol. I'm just too stubborn to wear them. ****ing hate wearing them.

same here actually i agree :V

Why? Because urafraid you'll look like a nerd? :V

nah, i think glasses can actually look cool to be honest

just their ****ing uncomfortable and have a piece of plastic or metal sitting on your face for who knows how long and constantly adjusting your eyes from looking into and out of glasses is a massive nuisance

 

[A Distant Demon]

Cody was already hot as hell but giving him a suit just feels like Capcom is intentionally trying to attack me.

I DONT EVEN HAVE A PS4 YOU ASSHOLES

 

[CyberHyperPhoenix]

I want to believe you both did this on purpose.

I can assure you that wasn't the case

Just about every 80s future sci-fi movie was still set in the Cold War, regardless of how far into the future it was. 2010 was filled with "Why can't the US and Russia just get along" symbolism that, ironically, became outdated shortly after release only to double back and be relevant again by the time it was finally 2010.

I guess it would be 2001: A Space Odyssey?

Or anything to do with the end of our world lol.

same here actually i agree :V

Yeah glasses smlasses! Who needs em' anyways?

Well I probably will when I need to drive one day lol.

 

[praline]

Well, uh... I wear glasses, so... would I really be that cool? :o

Sure. You’re cool~

Nah I couldn't care less. Just hate wearing them and I feel uncomfortable wearing them.

Except me

Cause you don’t wear glasses that’s why you ain’t cool.

 

[Natz~]

Yeah glasses smlasses! Who needs em' anyways?

Well I probably will when I need to drive one day lol.

same actuallly, and i do need them in daily life, their a ***** and can kinda hurt my eyes and face

 

[vaanrose]

I also always find it funny when a movie is set decades into the future but sets a pertinent bit of backstory really close in time to release, so it quickly becomes outdated even when the bulk of the story still takes place in the distant future.

Like Stallone's Demolition Man, which is set in 2032, 40 years after the release date, but has Stallone be cryogenically frozen in 1996, only three years after release.

Or Star Trek, which was set in the 23rd Century, but still felt it necessary to give Khan a backstory dating to the 1990s. Three whole centuries before we could ever "catch up", but then they wrote the big villain's backstory to be about a genetic war that occurred only three decades after the show premiered. This despite the fact that they changed Spock from a Martian to a Vulcan because Gene Roddenberry was afraid we'd make contact with Martians before the show finished, lol.

To be fair, a lot of stories nowadays set in the near-future are more of "what if?" scenarios on what if this Plot Thing happened.

Yeah just like how the film 2012 is now a comedy film given the failed prediction that year.

I still feel ripped off for that.

 

[Ura]

They do but some of them I think are what the author/director actually thinks will happen in the future.

I still feel ripped off for that.

Yeah I remember when it came out.

Apparently, the only place that wasn't devastated was Africa lol.

 

[praline]

Fell Robin is waaaay hotter than her normie form.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

[Ura]

Yeah my eyes are gonna get shot lol.

 

[praline]

I kinda wanna save up to get the lenses in my eyes replaced so I can wear cheap sunglasses.

I never expected this song to be relevant but. . .obligatory

 

[Ura]

If nothing else I could always get Laser Eye surgery done.

 

[praline]

Eww I don’t like ZZ Top.

If nothing else I could always get Laser Eye surgery done.

Laser eye surgery is a waste of money.

 

[Ura]

Laser eye surgery is a waste of money.

Well my mom got it done like 4 years ago and she doesn't use glasses anymore.

 

[CyberHyperPhoenix]

Praline has a kink for evil doom destroyers confirmed.

I don’t know if liking 1 character counts as a kink. lol

Kale technically counts as a second, just saying

 

[Swamp Sensei]

So.

I got two buds who are gonna try Dead by Daylight with me.

It's free this weekend and we need one more.

Anyone wanna play with me?

 

[praline]

Well my mom got it done like 4 years ago and she doesn't use glasses anymore.

Laser surgery is temporary so eventually she’s gonna be wearing glasses again.

Kale technically counts as a second, just saying

I don’t think 2 really counts as a kink. lol

 

[vaanrose]

Eww I don’t like ZZ Top.

And here I thought you might be one of the people in this thread with taste.

 

[Natz~]

who are the few people here who have taste then? :V

 

[praline]

And here I thought you might be one of the people in this thread with taste.

Of course I have taste. My tongue is covered in them.

Seriously though I’m not really a fan of Southern Rock.
