How did I NOT know about this until NOW

It's pretty good!

If anyone knew the original, they would know what it looked like

Not everyone knew it

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Define "getting popular". I mean, I made one miiverse post and it was a Game Grumps reference and I got 14 yeahs. So you could say I'm pretty much a big deal.

I think I got 24 from a Smash Post I did on one of my screenshots

Not everyone knew it

Point taken. Only reason why I knew about it was I remember my sister told me about it

So you can say I'm a slightly less, but still decently sized deal.

Well, I just caught Groudon on my OR game, It was a really powerful experience: Because I remembered when I faced that Red Godzilla on my original Ruby 11 years ago: I got scared as hell after seeing that behemoth and tossed my Master Ball at it.

But now I felt the same sensation that I had when I was a child,:heart pumping, intense music a huge beast unleshing its fiery power, but this time I fought with all I learned since Ruby and caught Primal Groudon on a Luxury Ball after more than 20 minutes of pure tension.

I share this with you because I hope you feel (or felt) that epic sensation when you face any of the Super Ancient Beasts.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I have to prevent 2 of the pokemon in my party from evolving until they are 40 something for moves

It's annoying without the item that prevents them from evolving

[MewtwoMaster2002]

Beat Tabitha at the weather institute, and had a full party, so I saved right before picking Castform up. Apparently it is stuck as a female with a Lax nature every time, even with a Modest Synchronizer. At least the IVs change? When do the values get set? I wanted to get a male Castform from the weather institute even though I could easily just breed for one.

What is with my 3DS loving to set gift/event Pokemon as female? I also encountered 15 Feebas in a row using Dexnav, and they were all female...

There's a Hidden Everstone in Granite Cave, or if you're playing X/Y there's one on Geosenge Town

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I have a bottle of Whiskey I bought for $100 I'm saving it for a special occasion (It may or may not be worth more than that)

I just bought that crown royal regal apple and added it to my collection

 

[SonicN64]

Everytime I go on miiverse,I'm always reminend that I'll never be good as those people. And I just a nobody, a loser who no one knows. Heck, Nintendo don't know I'm real or not. My Miiverse drawing probaly not gonna be on Miiverse stage since they have better drawing than me. Maybe because they have a great childhood. But, my childhood was horrible. When I was 6 years old(I was a orphan) foster ladys beat me and throw me in the basement for 7 hours because I didn't want eat the food they served over there.(The food they haved was disgusting.)

 

[Jiggsbomb]

Timezones wooo! It's currently 16:45 in japan. I've done a lot of things today, but I'm now in my hotel and I'm going to relax. So... What's new!?

 

[Ffamran]

Holy crap, Vaas is a freaking amazing character. I can't believe how he didn't exist until Michael Mando gave Ubisoft a killer audition. He could have been some random mook named "Lupo", but no, we got Vaas!

Far Cry 3, Far Cry 4 - haven't played it, but supposedly it's going for the same route -, and Spec Ops: The Line... Man, they really make you think about how games encourage killing even if they do it unintentionally. Killing "feels like winning". Hearing Jason say that and playing games, it really feels like that; winning. Scary how we're "here because [we] wanted to feel like something [we're] not; a hero".

Far Cry 3 spoilers in case people haven't played it yet and something on art and video games.

Spoiler

What's even scarier is that scene up above. It's shown early on - a foreshadowing -, but it really tells the whole story. Vaas is Jason; Jason is Vaas. The moment the game begins, they're entirely separate, but when they meet again, they're the same person. At their final confrontation, it's more like Vaas becomes Jason and Jason becomes Vaas. Vaas went mad for whatever reason; Citra, drugs, constant killing, or even the island itself. Like Jason, he wanted an escape and he found it right at their final confrontation. Vaas escapes through death and at that point he becomes Jason; he becomes the horrified person on an island full of murders, fanatics, and other criminals. Remember those words: "You are me and I am you".

Jason becomes Vaas right when he decides to kill him. Like Vaas, something transformed him on the islands. If we're going for storytelling elements, when Jason was buried under the bodies, he was "swallowed by a monster" and when he got out, he changed. When he kills Vaas, Jason "dies" and is reborn as Vaas; Jason is reborn as a bloodthirsty, short-tempered, adrenaline addicted, crazed mass murderer. This makes it even disturbing when you hear Vaas's last lines of "Take me into your heart. Accept me as your savior. Nail me to the ******* cross and let me be REBORN!" and how Jason responds by "Citra, I won. I won." Jason never mentions Grant, Riley, or anything about what Vaas has done to people, but only about winning.

"We're so ******, Jason." Y'know, in a way, I think Vaas was trying to help Jason and use Jason as a way to die. He needed someone who was just as strong as him, but could realize everything sooner. By warning Jason, he leaves that nagging thought into Jason as a reminder of him and of what Jason could become.

When people say that video games aren't art or are just silly, then they're not looking hard enough. We already have 4 games comparable to Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness and Apocalypse Now: Far Cry 2, 3, 4, and Spec Ops: The Line. The Metal Gear games weren't compared, as far as I know, but they show the dark side of politics and war - just look at how gruesome MGSV is. You want a game that shows that being in a gang isn't just fun and easy, then look at Mafia 2, Sleeping Dogs, and even Saints Row 2 which is more satirical and outrageous. Okami, Journey, Limbo, and more have beautiful art design. The Witcher is basically the Lord of the Rings for gaming since LoTR started as books and became famous films while the The Witcher became famous games. There's also games like The Cat Lady and That Dragon, Cancer that talks about the fragility of life. Oh, and don't forget about Ni no Kuni, a Studio Ghibli game. Games are art. Why do you think they're called "interactive movies" or how about the "video" part of video games?

So... Pikmin... They're adorable. I mean, they sing, they're curious, and they're like little kids running around... Dying and killing stuff... Yeah... Ai no Uta, people, a song about their perspective. Related to SSB: Are Pikmin running at a lower framerate than Olimar/Alph? They seem choppy in animation on the 3DS. I don't know if this is present on the Wii U version.

In the Wii U version it's 10x3x2 frames per second

 

[Ffamran]

Er... What? 60 FPS for both Olimar/Alph and Pikmin?

 

[CyberHyperPhoenix]

Got Smash 4 coming out in EU/ AU in a few days, the game iks being dispatched to me as of 3 hours ago, had the saltiest matches of Dodgeball with my class ever today, and i'm on smashboards Life is pretty good

 

[Deleted member]

Both Olimar/Alph and the Pikmin animate at 60FPS on the Wii U version.
All assist trophies and Pokemon also animate at 60 on the Wii U version.

I once played dodgeball in China, it resulted in 3 broken noses and a trip to the ER

 

[Ffamran]

@ Rocket Raccoon 's math-y answer was weird. Wait, was it only the 3DS where AT's and Pokémon are animated at 30 FPS? The Pikmin seem to be animated at sub-30 FPS. They're really choppy for some reason.

Yeah, I broke my youngest son's nose. I still feel bad about it But it was 3 years ago.

They only animate at 30FPS on the 3DS version to help it run without lag, not sure about the Pikmin, though you could be right. Of course the Wii U doesn't have that same problem, which means everything runs at a consistent 60 during gameplay.
Thank god for that too, the assist characters and the Pikmin looked so weird when placed beside the actual characters.

Considering the size of the 3DS (XL)'s screen and that fighting games tend to be hectic, I don't notice. If everything was effected, like say, going from 30 FPS to 25 FPS, then I'll notice. 60's fluid and 30's just enough to not be choppy so when they're place together like that and the 60 FPS object is the focus, the 30 FPS object becomes peripheral. That's all right, but since Olimar/Alph are animated at 60 FPS and the Pikmin are usually at their side, therefore, the center of attention, it's probably going to be noticeable. 30 FPS isn't choppy, but there are people who complain, but I swear the Pikmin are animated below 30 FPS since their movement is really choppy.

I'm loving this:

 

[Jiggsbomb]

I'm loving this:

ohhhh damn! Pokémon monopoly! When will it get released?

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I tried to get my family to play FNaF to see their reaction, but the game has complicated instructions to players. Especially if they don't play video games

 

[TheLastLugia]

OMG just seen GameXplain's vid on the DLC for Hyrule Warriors. Twili Midna's special attack is her shedding a tear onto the Mirror of Twilight and breaking it, just like the end of Twilight Princess. WHY IS EVERYTHING SO GOOD IN THIS GAME???

 

[#HBC | Red Ryu]

I'm loving this:

Damn it, I would totally buy it.
